where they were interned. The
French authorities directed that no
opposition should be made to the
revolutionary committees and French
troops took over the barracks
AS result of the action three reg
ulars were killed and two volunteers
and a general wounded in the arm,
but most important In its results Is
the triumph of the revolutionaries.
The committee is now reported to be
in complete control of practically all
of Greek Macedonia. A dispatch says
that the garrison at Little Kara Duran
surrendered without trouble when 1t
learned OF the result at Saloniki. The
revolutionary committee is said to
have taken over completely the reins
of government. the kings power be-
ing entirely lost. The committee will
cooperate with the allied command
ers.
Still Say King Has Fled.
The sensational rumor is still in
wide circulation here that King Con-
stantine has fed from Athens to seek
refuge under a guard of German Uh-
lans at Larrissa, in Thessaly. This
rumor, together with report OF
hghttng between allied troops and
Greek loyalists around the king q
summer home at Tatoya was sent
from Saloniki on Wednesday by Ward
Price. He said the rumors were
broadcast in Saloniki, but that 1t was
impossible to obtain confirmation or
denial from Athens, Since that time
until late tonight no word had been
received from Athens and in this ST.
lence the sensation fiourished. With
1t has grown another rumor that al
lied troops have invaded the Greek
capital and taken Constantine pris-
oner. placing the crown prince, who
is pro-ally In his sympathies, on the
throne. Some persons here accept
the news OF the allied fleets presence
off Piraeus as confirmation OF this.
Both reports are discredited In official
circles. though it is admitted the king
may have secretly departed from
Athens.
There is considerable question In
the mind Of military authorities
whether the entrance OF Greece into
inc war at this stage would be q
help or hindrance to the allies. Torn
by revolution. there would be a pow
erfui opposition group to whatever
course the nation pursues. and II that
course should be declaration OF
war on the central powers 1t is quite
probable that the allied troops would
have TO put down an uprising in their
very door yard of Salonika. Again,
Greece is weak in artillery and lack
ing in all manner of military supplies
Their morale Is wrecked and there
would be another nation in the reck-
oning of peace terms. 1t Is believed
here that owing to the latest devel-
opments Greece's entrance into the
war depends upon whether the allies
want them or not. And there is a
strong feeling in London that it would
be much better to merely make sure
that a benevolent neutrality is OBJ
served by the Athens government
than to have 1t for an ally.

Americans Discovery De-
clared Most Notable Add
tion to Surgical Science.

New York, Dec. 26.-Great as have
been the surgical achievements in the
dourse of the present war. there has
been as yet no single discovery that
has rivaled DR.. Alexis Carrel's method
of the treatment of septic wounds as
the most notable addition to surgical
science, according to a senior surgeon
Of the American Ambulance hospital
at Neuilly, near Paris, who has just
returned to this country. ".The French
hospitals are slowly adopting the
Carrel method" he said. land in the
American Ambulance hospital we have
been using it for several months with
gratifying results which seem to show
that DR.. Carrel has proved his tests.
".The reduction of septid wound
treatment to an almost mathematical
basis is feature of the Carrel meth
cd that suggests the fanciful thought
of the possibility that the day NAV
come whe ma surgeons work will in
some respects be like that of train
dispatcher. Having brought to him
from day to dav the microscopic
count of the germs in given wound,
the surgeon may perhaps figure with
preciscness the day on which the
wound will be in shape to close COM
pletely. The two-hourly irrigation Of
the wound by the Dakin or other solu7
ton. is highly important feature OF
the Carrel method. but the most inter-
esting factor is the daily microscopic

Street CAR KILLS
PIONEER ENGINEER
George p. G. Kumbougt, Aged 81, Dies
Shortly After Accident at
Little Rock.

Little Rock, Dec. 26.-George P. c.
Kumbcugh, aged 50, retired civil en-
gineer, died about noon shortly after
being struck by street car, the acct
dent occurring at Markham and State
streets. Ben F. Green, motorman. is
held under bond of $1,000 on charge
of second degree murder.
Mr.. Kumbough was quite deaf. and
apparently did not hear the gong Of
the approaching car. According to
witnesses, the street car was not go
ing at rapid rate when Motoman
Green began sounding his alarm bell.
Green says he threw off power and
applied the brakes, slowing the car
almost to a standstill at the time Mr..
Kumbough was struck. Green went
to Mr.. Kumbough's assistance, and
with r. F. Herbert, contractor, at 500
West Markham street, secured his re-
moval to his home. DR.. Hardeman,
whose offices are located few blocks
from the scene of the accident, and
DR.. Anderson watkins, nephew OF
Mr.. Kumbough, and the family physi-
clan, were called.
Under their ministrations Mr.. Kun
bough recovered consciousness for &
few minutes. but failed to rally COM
plettely, and died at 1850. At his
bedside at the time of his death were
bis wife and two daughters, Misses
Maude and Marye Kumbough.
Mr.. Kumbough, who had not been
actively engaged in the practice OF
his profession for number of years
was at one time one of the most
prominent civil engineers of the
Southwest. He had served as city en-
gineer, and was in charge of the con-
struction of the first railroad into Hot
| Springs, that which operated fol-
! years between Malvern and the Vapol
City.

surgeons to let the sparks of Life be
extinguished through neglect of sur
gical science.
French Appreciatiye. :
"The appreciation, gratitude and
entire simplicity of the wounded
French soldier is something that gets
one absolutely. l have never seen
the slightest resemblance to anything
that could be called bravado in his
makeup. The American surgeons feel ,
that they cannot be kind enough %
the soldiers.
"All through France the efficiency
of the American hospital has bedome
known, and distinguished surgical
men are daily visitors. They come
not only from the French hospitals,
! but from ali OF the allied and neutral !
countries, examining with particular
interest the many forms of speci2l
apparatus which the Americans have
| developed for the management OF
| fractured eXtremities. These devices
have been originated and improved
upon largely by the younger members
of our surgical staff. When young
surgeon comes to us from America for
service at the hospital he is assigned
to ward with a request that he inn
prove the apparatus-and it is rarely
that he fails to do so. 1t has been
wonderful for the older men to see
how readily and successfully the
Younger men have taken UP this
work.
"There are probably 1000 wounded
soldiers under the American Ambu-
lance surgeons at this moment. There
are 575 in the hospital at Neuilly the
entire hospital force, including the
orderlies and other attendants, num-
: bers some 500 men and women.

MANY ECLIPSES TO
OCCUR NEXT YEAR

Seven eclipses--four of the sun and
three of the moon-will cause the
astronomical observers to tilt their
telescopes skyward duringg the year
about to begin. Of the number, now
ever. only two will be visible IN the
United States.
The first of the Astronomical pne-
nomena will be total eclipse OF the
moon, which is scheduled Tor the
night of January rs and will be Vlsl-
BILE generally in North America, as
we'll as in central and Wdestern
Europe, northwestern Africa, South
| America an the central and eastern
! portions of the Pacific ocean.
| Also in January, on the 23rd OF the
month, there will be partial eclipse
of the sun. This will be visible to
Europe. Asia and northern Africa, but
not to America.
| On June 10 there will be another
partial eclipse of the sun, also invisl-
| BILE to North America. Should as
tronomers desire to take observations
of this eclipse it would be necessary
for them to set up their instruments
| in northern Siberia or in the area
around the North Pole. -.
A total eclipse of the moon will
take place on July A, but it will not
be a part of the Independence Day
celebration in the United States. The
beginning of the eclipse will be vlsl-
| BILE generally in Asia except the north
eastern portion, Australia, Africa
Europe, except the northwestern por-
tions. and the South Atlantic Ocean
The ending will be visible generally
in western Australia, southwestern
Asia, Europe, Africa and South
America.
Later in the month of July there
will be another partial eclipse of the
sun. which will not be visible IN
either North or South America.
Americans likewise will miss an op-
portunity to view the annular eclipse
of the sun scheduled ford December
IA. This eclipse will be visible Onl,
in the extreme southeastern port!oi
of South America, southern Australia
the South Atlantic and Indian oceans
and part Of the Pacific ocean.
In compensation for what they hav'
missed uring the year the residents
throughout nearly the whole OF Nortf
America will be treated to a tota
eclipse of the moon, Which is schedul
ed to take place three days aftel
Christmas. The beginning of this
eclipse will be visible generally il

out the Pacific ocean. and the ex
