was raging in that part Of the war
zona He, in company with a num-
ber Of other men Of his profession,
sailed from New York, May II, 1915,
and after weeks Of rough sea life
arrived in the field Of action. The
scourge of typhus was well under
control when they arrived and their
work became that Of improving the
sanitary conditions Of the prison
camps and caring for the wounded
as they came from the battlefields.
In October he joined an English
hospital corps which took him to
the danger line and in several In
stances heard the whir Of bullets
which went clear Of their mark.
Many were the trying circum-
stances in this campaign, Of which
words are inadequate to express
Duty held him in Servia, Macedonia
and Bulgaria where the need was
greatest, till the 18th Of February
when they made their way north
doing service in the principal cit
les, passing through Petrograd and
on north through the north route
via Finland and Norway, thence tc
London, England, and to his native
land, arriving at New York, April
27th, within a few days Of the date
Of sailing year ago.
The Doctor is quite optomistiC
over the situation and thinks good
will come out of all the turmoil that
has been going on among the Euro
pean countries. He emphasizes the
good treatment and the appreciation
rendered on the part OF both belig
erents for the service which he haC
the privilege Of rendering.
/ We are grateful for his safe re-
turn and are proud that one OF oul
citizens and fellow-townsman has
had so great a part in such impor-
tant work for humanity.

The picture above is that of DIR.
Albert +. Cornelius, one of our fellow
citizens, who volunteered his pro-
fessional services for suffering hu-
manity in the war-stricken zone. 1t
all meant no little sacrifice and risk
on his part but joy in service rem
dered. II is certainly pleasure to
listen TO his story first-handed, both
in public and in private conversa-
ton. He is full of information rela-
tive TO the sections of the war zone
where duty called him.
We here give a short sketch Of his
early career in order that those who
may read il shall have a deeper ap-
probation of the good deeds per-
formed in this time Of dire need.
He was born in Laurel County,
KY, February 81. 1886, and in early
childhood came to Berea with his
parents where he grew up under the
influence, educationally, Of the free
school and Berea College. In June
1906. he began the practice of medi-
cine here, during the time his father
DIR. p. Cornelius, was abroad. After
that he went to the mountains ol
Eastern Kentucky, practicing ir
Hyden, Leslie county, and later ir
Letcher county, where he was EN-
ployed by the Consolidated Goa
Company as their physician. From
this work he went TO Boston to fur
ther his preparation where he be
came engaged in the public health
service; taking lectures and a spe-
cial course at Harvard. In all thi'
preparatory work he showed skill
and a living interest in his choseI
line.
The call came 10 him, as a member
OF the American Sanitary Commis'
sion, for service in Servia TO flgh
the awful scourge Of typhus tina

Secretary Lansing Explains Why the
United States Cannot Discuss With
Berlin Matters Pertaining to Reia-
tIons Between v. 8. and Britain.

Washington, May 9.-President
Wilson has sent Q note to the Ger

ration OF abandonment of Illegal sub
marine warfare and rejecting the sug-
gestion that the United States regard
this abandonment as conditional upon
Great Britain's action with respect to
the blockade.
The note in courteous in tone. but

remove all doubt on the part OF the
imperial government as to the posi-
ton the United States has taken.
Secretary Lansing issued the follow
ing statement explaining why the
United States cannot discuss matters
pertaining to the relations between
this government and Great Britain
with the imperial government:
"The greater part Of the German
answer Is devoted to matters which
this government cannot discuss with
the German government The only
questions of right which can be dis
cussed with that government are
those arising out Of It's action or out
of our own and in no event those
questions which are the subject OF

Prince Responds to Hurry Call From
the Kaiser For q Personal Inter
view Of Extreme Importance-Many
Theories Advanced For Conference.

London, May 9.-Prince Bernhard
Won Buelow, the former imperial Ger
man chancellor, at present looms
large on the political horizon OF Eu
rope.
The only man living who has ever
dared to extort from his imperial
master a pledge of greater discretion
in the discussion and conduct OF the
German empires affairs, is now speed
ing in a special train toward the
great general army headquarters, in
the field, in response to a hurry call
from the kaiser, who has bidden him,
It is reported, to q personal interview
"of extreme Importance"
The prince has been the greater
part of the past year in Switzerland,
notably in Luzerne, Zurich and Berne.
Il is at the latter city that, according
to a dispatch. the imperial invitation
of a hurried visit to headquarters
reached him. Dispatch stated that the
prince was leaving for Berlin" but q
later message from The Hague,
brought the news of the call from the
emperor.
Three theories were advanced In
well-informed circles here with ref
erence to the possible purpose OF the
conference between the kaiser and
the hero Of the famous "kaiser crisis"
Of 1908. They are:
Ffrst-That Prince Won Buelow Is
to take over the governmental reign
of the empire by resuming his former
ofice of imperial chancellor, succeed
ing DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
Second-That he is to be entrusted
with an important mission in behalf
of the bringing about an opening for
peace negotiations with the allies
probably through the medium OF q
neutral power.
Third-That he Is to be sent to the
United States on mission from the
kaiser to President Wilson.
In connection with the last theor,
It is also suggested that the prince
may go to Washington as German am
bassador to the United States, II be
ing pointed out in some quarters, tha
Count Won Bernstorff's position ha'
become somewhat embarrassing dur
ing the long course Of the submarine
controversy and that this embarrass
ment has been added to In no incon
siderable degree by the recent seizure
of certain papers in the New York OF
fice Of the former secretary to Captain
Franz Won Papen, the recalled Ger
man military attache.
