Good Results
From German
Treatment

BERLIN, Feb. 17-According to
figures just published by the German
Medical Weekly (Deutschce Medium
ische Woerhenschrift) the medical
corps of the German army has estab-
lished better and better results al
most every month in treating the
wounded. The record at the start
was, in fact, very high one, S4.S per
cent. of the wounded being so COM
pletely healed that they could return
t, the ranks, per cent dying, and
the remaining 1872 per cent being dis
charged as unfit for further service or
sent away on furlough for later ex-
animation.
The figures improved from then on
until the number of men returning to
duty in May, June and July reached
above 81 per cent. The most striking
Improvement was the reduction in the
ratio of deaths; these amounted in
June and July to only IL per cent of
the wounded, as compared with 3
per cent for August, 1914. Similarly
the ratio of wounded men sent home
unfit for duty of furloughed for fur
Their observation was reduced from
1872 to Z. For the first year of the
war the total record was as follows
S9.5 healed and returned to the ranks,
IS discharged as unfit for duty or for
further observation, and only IL per
cent died

MERRY FIGHT ON
WITH BIC FOLKS

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb 17.-Involving
she integrity of the speaker of the
house of representatives and the super
Iintendent of the state anti-saloon lea
'gue, the controversy between William
F., Burwell and Superintendent G. W.
Echelberger yesterday reached a
point of unusual bitterness and gave
promise of some rather interesting de-
velopments with the appearance of the
next issue of the state organization
organ.
Wicked falsehood," and political
dodge" are two of the expressions cor
tanned in statements of the figures in
the controversy in their discussions CT
each others remarks and each CON
tends that the other is careless with
tie truth. The controversy grows out
scl published editorial in recent is.
sue of the Commonwealth wherein Mr..
Brrwell was accused of attending "a
conference here in November arranged
by the liquor interests for the adoption
of plans looking to the defeat of Gov.
ernor Nat E. Harris, Congressman Will.
liam s. Howard and others.
DR.. Eichslberger promises to present
in the next issue of the Commonwealth
such proof as he may have which he
believes will inspire Mr.. Burwell &c
rite additional "uncouth letters.
Mir Burwell brands the story of the
caucus as a vicious and outrageous
falsehood. DR.. Eichelberger was ask
lea by the Atlanta Constitution We'd
nesday for a statement as to the ma
ture of the matter which he intends to
publish soon in substantiation of his
charges. He declined to giye out any
names with the statement that condi-
tons are such just now that he doesn't
care to name the source of his informa
ton.

Famous Tenor
Celebrates His
S5th Birthday

BERLIN, Feb. 17.-Albert Niemann,
the greatest Wagnerian tenor of his
day, and perhaps of any day, has just
celebrated his S5th birthday. He fled
from Berlin to escape too many hon
crs, and went to a place near Ores
den. but could not even there avoid
large gatherings and concerts in his
hor or. The German emperor sent him
personal telegram of congratulation,
the king of Saxony conferred a decor
alton on him, and other honors mark
cd the event.

Few Doctors
Left In Vienna
Because War

VIENNA, Feb. 17.-So few doctors
are left in Vienna that professional
consultations over the telephone have
become very numerous. Instead Of
calling the doctor to the house, many
people now seek his advice over the
telephone, especially in cases where
the patient has already been examined.
The Vienna Medical association re-
minds the public of a legal decision,
rendered some years ago, that such
conversations are to be regarded as
medical consultations, and paid for
accordingly.

Charley e. Hardman, of near
Spencer, was in a very critical
condition with appendicitis and
little hope of recovery was enter
tanned. He was rushed to a hos

to tell whether or not he will re-
cover.

most prominent agricuturalists in
this section of the state. He is
