American Doctor Describes
MaryeIs Of Surgery in Rus
sian Hospitals.

TOKYO Dec. 4-Marvels in surgery
are almost everyday occurrences in
Russian hospitals, says DR.. John Mann
OF Virginia who has come to Japan
after nine months experience in .hc
American Red Cross Hospital at Kiev.
DIR. Mann served with stan Of
American nurses *ho are soon return
ing to the United States on account OF
lack OF Red Cross funds. He held the
rank of lieutenant colonel In the
Russian army.
I'm many instances said DR.. Mann
"tt was really case OF making faces
while you wait. Some Russian soldiers
came TO us with their faces literally
blown of. They were supplied with
artificial jaws and were sent away look
ing almost entirely now. They were the
best classes OF operation I have ever
seen"
Eight u. S. Doctors.
Tho American hospital at Elev was
practically devoted to surgery. There
were eight American doctors and one
Russian. and also American and Pus-
sian nurses. At first there was accom-
modatiOn for 400 beds but this was soon
increased to 700. The patients as they
came In Were treated to a bath and
clean clothes. and then were allotted to
the different wards. Some said they had
not had their clothes on or had taken
bath for six months. These were the
men who had been all through the cam
paign in the Carpathian mountains last
winter Most OF them were suffering
from frostbite.
There was absolutely ro kind OF gun

mentioned that the Rusaiins had .plen.

Almost every public building in kiev.

The necessity for an initiative
referendum and right OF recall ar
ticle in the proposed new constltu'
ton cannot be too strongly impress
ed on both the candidate and voter.
In order to have a government o.
for and by the people the initiative
referendum and right OF recall are
absolutely necessary. In no other
way can the demands Of the peo-
ple be enforced, and every voter
should require the candidate to de-
clare himself on this most impor'
tant question. With this article IN

secure any legislation they want
without it they are at the mercy o

St. Francisville True-Democrat:
Gov, Hall has filled every pre-elec-

A Real Live Idea

4 GOOD MISSOURIAN, named |
JOHN H. CURRAN, has had letter /
nrjnted ia the St. Louis "Post-Dis-
patch" that deserves the attention
Of every city in our broad land. Mr.
CI7RRAN refuses to be bluffed by
the smelly part Of the park which
is ordinarily called the Zoo, and
wants new deal, a Missouri Do
nestle Animal Zoo" To him the
sight of mule colt is more interest
ins than an anteater or ella mon
ster, and a Berkshire weesqueal IS
more exciting than grizzly. Ills
argument is worth quoting:
Instead of camels and buffalo, let
US have a few Holstein, Jersey, and
shorthorn COWS and calves. Thous-
ands of St. Louis people haven I
seen a COW for years, and other
, thousands would not know Here
ford from a Red P0lled animal.
|. Let us have some chickens, tur-
S keys, ducks, and geese instead OF
l. cranes, storks and pelicans. Let the
e children learn about Rhode Island
d Reds, Black Minorcas, Buff Ply
e mouth Rocks. A concrete example
l. of the profit and pleasure OF poultry
al raising would be worth much to
Id any child of the city.

Franklinton Waterman: |,
If the Constitutional Convention
happens to sneak through and be
approved by the people, the dele
oates from the varions parishes will
meet for the purpose Of creating
a new organic law for the state
The first idea of calling a Constr
tutional Convention was to raise
more money for the states educa-
tional and charitable Institutions
SO it was told. That the govern
ment's supply Of cash had dlsap-
peared and there is nothing lett
with which to pay the accumulat'
ine indebtedness. 1t must be
known that taxes against the prop
erty of the state is the only source
of supply, and that the necessity
for more money means more taxes
that the industrial classes must put
up. Does anyone deny that the
!, prime purpose Of the convention is
to lay heavier tribute against
}, the homes of the land, and thereby
e burden the working man with ad
:. ditional indebtedness to the state!
