LOCATES BULLETS IN BODIES
 WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPASS

PARIS, Oct. 19.-The head of the Salpetriere Laboratory read an inter- esting paper this week before the Academy of Science on his own eX- periences with the wounded. He is the inventor of an ingenious radio graphic compass as he calls it, which enables the surgeon to determine with great nicety the most exact position of bullets, shell fragments, and other foreign bodies in the human anatomy. He illustrated his lecture with 100 ra- diograph projections, about which he gave the following particulars. Out of the hundred 94 had been success fully extracted, one had never been found and the five others were so sit uated that the surgeon deemed it more prudent to leave them where they were.
 The foreign bodies thus discovered among the wounded were of the most heterogeneous kinds
 The intruding substances are found all over the body and head and limbs It is interesting to note that whereas rifle bullets are almost always anti septic, the shel splinters generally give rise to the formation of abscesses. Eight projectiles have been extracted

CHRISTIANITY LONG WAY FROM
 RETROGRADInG

; Right Rev. J. w. Atwood, Episcopal Bishop of Arizona, delivered a very impressive. sermon yesterday morning to a large congregation at the Trinity Pro Cathedral, his discourse being based upon the much discussed sub ject. "Is Christianity a Failure"
 Since the outbreak and growth of the European conflagration. there has been a disposition on the part of the enemies of the Christian religion to pronounce it failure, inasmuch as some of the leading nations which have in the past been the most pow erful opponents of the doctrines of the Nazarene, are at present engaged in the most hideous carnival of lust and bloOdshed that the world has ever wit messed, and the critics say, this war fare is being carried on by the na- tions, each with a feeling that God is directing their individual campaign. Also, that the thin veneer of Christi anity with which the alleged civilized nations have been covered has been stripped off and that the underlying tendencies of an age-old barbarianism have been barred. Despite all these shockingly apparent truths Rev. Bishop Atwood throughout his dis course presented an exhibit of facts which were sufficiently potent to con vince his hearers that instead of ret rogrGding, the spirit of Christianity was sweeping onward in it's course, and was an institution far too i'm mense to ever suffer a setback from an obstacle of such comparatively small consequence as an armed con flict, even though the latter in the present instance does assume propor- of mortals to grasp.
 As examples of what he termed pro- gress in humanity and Christianity. Bishop Atwood cited the spirit of up- lift which in the past decade has made itself evident in the caring for the helpless and suffering clements of hu- manity which are to be found in our. insane asylums. jails, hospitals, etc, and entrusted their treamert with that of which those classes of persons were won't to receive a century ago. Mention was also made of the higher sphere upon which womanhood has been placed in the same time and a note made of the fact that since the days of the introduction of Christi anity. woman has slowly raised from the masculine element of the race to a position of equality and companionship with man. The bishop urged his con gregation to turn their faces from the revolting scenes of bloodshed. look for the better things and strive for a new faith in their Creator.

NEW GREY BOOK IN OUTRAGES BY
 TEUTON|C ARMY
French Government Has Just Published Report of Commission of Inquiry Into Outrages of the Ger man Army i'll France

PARIS. Oct. 1.-The French govern ment has just published Grey book containing the first report of the com mission of inquiry into outrages by the German army in France "in violation Of international law" together with collection of sworn evidence on which the report is based.
 The report was issued last January; but the evidence is new, and there is added a series of 70 photographs. The frightful miserieS were witnessed, say the commissioners, ''surpass in eX- tent and horror what the immigration can conceive Never has a war be tween civilized nations had the same savage and ferocious character. Pil- Iage. violation, arson. and murder are the common practices of our enemies. Outrages upon women and girls have been of an Unheard of frequency. A large number was proved; in many more cases. by a sentiment deserving respect. the victims of these odious acts refuse to reveal them.
 There would, doubtless, have been fewer if the heads of an army whose discipline is most rigorous had troubled themselves to prevent them. These, however. may be considered individual crimes; but it is different with the acts of incendiarism. theft, and assassina- ton. of which the commanders must bear the crushing responsibility.
 Tt was found that the German army nrofesses the completest scorn for hu- man life. and spares neither women. old folks, nor children. The fusillades of LunevilIe. Gerbeviller. Nomeny. and Senlis are terrible instances. Almost everywhere hostages have been taken into captivity. Many have died og were killed on the road.
 "Incendiarism is pursued systematic ally where for devastation or intimi- dation, by means of scientific equip ment. Pillage has been general and methodically organized"
 No full report can yet be made of the numerous outrages upon combatants- murder of wounded or prisoners, for biddon ruses. and attacks on doctors and nurses.
