Dr. Martin received the Ph. B. degree from Sheffield Scientific School, Yale, in 1889, and the M. D. degree from the Columbia College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons in 1892. Four years after graduation he joined the faculty of his alma mater, and he has since achieved a. worldwide reputa- ton as a surgeon. In the new American hospital, according to pr. Martin, there will be no attempt at surgical experiment or research, but the American medical men in charge will do their best for the wounded men along lines of accepted practice. The proposed new institution will be one of the largest field hospitals in Europe.

Berlin, June 1.-The jubilation throughout Germany and Austro-Hun- gary over the fall of Przemysl is min gled with surprise at the speed with which the campaign against this stronghold was brought to a successful end

 Most of the military observers in Berlin expected a stubborn resistance on the part of the Russian forces In PrzemysI. Furthermore, conditions within the stronghold show that the
 Russians were looking forward to long siege-and that they had endeav- pred to prepare for it. A correspond eht of the Vossische zeitung says the Russians had brought achievements into Przenysl from Lemberg and heavy artillery and ammunitionf from

It is explained that after the capture of Jaroslau and Radymno by the Austro-- German forces they began to spread along the west bank of the San, mak
 ing the defense of Przenysl a, difficult task. The Russians contend that they realized from the, first that Przemysl was incapable of defending itself, and they remained there only as long as it served their purpose. The positions

TRACES OF CENSORS
 ''DELETED'' IN BERLIN

Berlin, June 4.-White spaces here and there in the columns of the news papers, such as appear in the French and Austrian papers, showing where an offending sentence| or paragraph has been ctiseled out by order of the censor, do not appear in the German press. The explanation judging by a. report from Dusseldorf, is that it is not permitted. In Dusseldorf the po- lice descended on the office of the Vo1keszeitung, a socialist argan, late on a Saturday afternoon. and ordered that the Sunday number should not appear. The occasion for the action was, the fact that the volkeszeitung had appeared the day before with
 blank spaces, showing excisions by the censor which had not been filled up
 with permitted matter.
