British With Bayonet Wounds
In Thorax Are Left to Die

NEW YORK, ug. 9.-British SOL
dlers wounded in the thOraX or alb
domen after a bayOnet fight are left
on the field OF battle to die. owing to
the impossibility of getting them to
the base hospitals.
This was the startling statement
made Sunday by DR.. Joseph b. Bissell,
the New York specialist. who returned
from England on the White Star liner
Lapland, where he has been instruct
ing British surgeons in the use Of
radium for the cure Of septic wounds
A British surgeon, who is a colonel
In the royal army corps and in charge
of one Of the largest military hospitals
In Great Britain and recently returned
from the front" said DR.. Bissell. said
that it was the rule Of "A surgeon on
the field to give a hypOdermic injec-
ton of morphine TO soldiers with bay
onet wounds in the thoraX or the alb
domen and leave them there to die in
peace
IF that is true. it is the. most hide
Gus commentary on the whole war.
1T was explained to me by the sur
geon colonel that after a bayonet bat
tie there would be as many as 100
killed and greater portion of wound
ed.
''As il takes three or four men TO
carry wounded man off the field. it
can readily be seen that with two or
three hundred wounded it is impossi-
bic TO get enough men to carry them
back of the lines. In a few rare cases
the men so wounded live long enough
after the morphine injection to be
picked up and carried to the base hos
pital for operation. This was all told
to me by the surgeon colonel 1 men

I'm England the British have de-
veloped an excellent hospital service.

Il was in Manchester, Cambridge
and Oliveden on Thames where such
hospitals have been erected. The lat
ter place is on the estate Of William
Waldorf Aston and has been turned
over to the military authorities for the
use of the Canadian contingent.
1T was there that j demonstrated
the radium treatment of septic poison
ing. The surgeons are achieving a
great deal of success with 1t and the
men are being cured and able TO re-
turn to the front in half the time 1t
took to cure them formerly"
DR. Bissell in response 10 questions
said he had left some assistants be-
hind TO aid in the application OF the
treatment When asked how much
radium he had left behind, he replied
laughingly:
"Oh. several thousand dollars
worth"
Speaking OF the war situation in
England be said:
There is a strong public opinion
against the government over the OAR
danelles operations. The general opin-
ion in England is that these opera
tons are doomed to failure and should
never have been undertaken.
Apparently the recruiting is not
progressing so satisfactorily now. A
novel feature of the recruiting cam
paign is the number of women who
are making street speeches TO induce
men 10 join the army.
"Anti-air craft guns have been
mounted on the Tower of London, as
well as searchights."

NEW TWILIGHT
SLEEP is BEST
American Method Allows Mother to
Remain Conscious Without
Experiencing Pain.

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.-EXtensive eX-
periments in painless child birth,
which is said to incorporate all the
good qualities of the Freiburg twi-
light sleep without the i'll effects, have
just been completed by DR.. II. G. AL
len, Obstetrician of the Cumberland
st. hospital. Brooklyn.
The new treatment was begun over
a year ago. following its discovery by
DR.. Allen. 1t consists OF administra-
ton of nitrous oxide and oxygen in
stead of scopOlamin and narcophin
used in the German formula One
physician alone, DR.. Robert Powell
Wood. assistant TO DR.. Allen, has used
the new treatment with success in
more than a hundred cases. DIR. Wood
states:
/. That the American twilight
sleep absolutely relieves the mother of
all pain without robbing her Of con-
seriousness.
2 That gas oxygen does not pro-
duce the blue" babies so often born
under scopolaniD.
3 That cases are 100 per cent free
from fatalities, with no possibility OF
dangerous reaction upon mother or
child.
Dr. Wood said further:
gen presents a record which cannot be
claimed for any of the other sO-called
sleep methods.
Mother Is Not Asleep.
In the first place, the mother is
not asleep at all. Save for her inabil-
ity to feel pain, she remains almost
In a normal condition while her baby
is coming Into the world. conversing
with attendant physicians and making
known her wants.
This phenomenon brings nature TO
her aid, considerably lessening the
critical period. In not one instance
so far has a blue baby been born
under gas-oXygen; nor has there been
a fatality.
side By side with babies born with
the Allen method are the children OF
mothers who insisted upon the Fret
burg twilight sleep. Both formulas
are administered in the maternity
ward of the Cumberland St hospital.
Comparison OF these children has been
Overwhelmingly in favor OF gas-oxy-
gen, so much so. in fact, that many
physicians are adopting it instead of
scOpolamin.
THE trouble with the Freiburg child
birth method has been a high average
Of blue babies and the prolongation
Of the critical period For instance.
sc polamin sleep was administered TO
one mother at $3.50 p. m. and the babe
was born at 11:17 =. m of the same
day. Another mother in the same
stage of progression was given nitrous
oxide and oxygen at 1880 p. IN. and
her babe was born at II p. m"

Shortly afterward another explosion
occurred. Went to my stateroom, was

American Suruiuors Tell
of Torpedo;s Destruction

Washington.-Statements by Ameri-
can survivors of the Lusitania cabled
to the state department by Consul
Frost, at Queenstown, gave brief,
graphic descriptions of the destruc-
ton of the great liner by a German
submarine, of watching the white trail
left by the torpedoes as they sped to-
ward the Lusitania and of the burst
ing of the liners boilers Immediately
after she was struck.
Rankin's statement follows:
"At IL noon ship began zigzagg
course off Irish coast. Walked deck
till /. Went to lunch 20 minutes. Ar
rived rear starboard deck at about 2
o'clock, ships time. At exactly 2:10

STONE DECLARES PASSENGERS
KNEW OF RISK ON LUSITANIA

Washington. Senator William ].
Stone, on learning of the great loss
OF live on the Lu~sitania, especially
Americans stated that this was
a good time to suspend judgment and
keep calm. He said:
The tragedy is of course to be
profoundly regretted. If the reports
as to the loss of life are true, the
sympathies of the civilized world will
be deeply stirred. But for us, it now
seems to me that good sense dictates
that we keep our heads until we get
our bearings. 1t is a bad time to get
ratified and act impulsively. Don't
rock the boat
Without expressing an opinion as
to our relations to this event or as
to our duty in the premises, there are
some facts we cannot overlook and
are bound to consider. We cannot
overlook the fact that the L~usitania
was a British ship flying the British
flag, and subject at any time to be
put into the actual naval service of
the government. Indeed, it is stated
that at the time she was attacked
she was carrying military ~reservists
to England for service in the Brit

cans aboard. but 1t must not be for
gotten that they went aboard a bel
hgerent ship with the full knowledge
Of the risk. and after official warning
by the German government. When
on board a British vessel they were
on British soil. Was not their posi-
ton substantially equivalent to being
within the walls OF a fortified city?
If American citizens stay within a
city besieged or threatened and the
enemy attacks, what should our gov
eminent do if our citizens should be
injured.
Il express no opinion at this time.
am merely suggesting reasons why
we should maintain our equilibrium,
and not rock the boat until we know
what we are about.
Aside from the loss of American
lives, let US ask ourselves just where
we come in.
AT the present moment and with
the lights nov before me, l confess
that it appears to me that from our
standpoint as a neutral nation the
Gulf Light case presents a more deli
cate and serious complication than
the case of the Lusitania."

when pressed he said he would take
