SHOT IN HEART, RECEIVERS.
British Doctors Perform Unusual
Operation SuccessfulIy.

London. May 13.-The proudest wounded
soldier in London today is the man who
has just had a jagged piece OF shrapnel
removed from his heart by an operation
that has excited the greatest interest
among doctors.
The shrapnel, whose edges might have
torn through the adjacent tissue on any
exertion Of the sufferer, was lodged in
the pericardium, in q position apparently
so inaccessible that 1t was thought In
advisable to operate. The patient was
able to leave his bed, but was obviously
permanently unfit
Then an Austrian surgeon suggested
how the operation could be performed
It involved most intricate surgery and
at the end the shrapnel was to be
picked out by the surgeons delicate
fingers. The soldier, who is well on the
way to complete recovery, now cherishes
a mounted piece Of shrapnel destined to
become an heirloom.

Whether the royal proclamation Is de-

for the purpose the impeding or stop

to the trade specialists OF the Govern

Should American shipments be stop

blow would be dealt not only to the to-
bacco manufacturers, but to the pro-
