DRIVE IS REPLY
TO PEACE talk

| = LONDON, Sept 21-This mornings
newspapers herald the new British
offensive in Flanders as the entente
allies answer to Germany's latest
peace maneuvers The Chronicle de-
clares that the allies have nothing
more to say and adds: Wars waged
for the great object cannot win by
words but only by strong right arms. %
The Graphic asserts: Again the
guns are speaking Into our decisions
about an early peace entertained by
the peoples of enemy empires, comes
the British comander-in- chiefs charac-
teristic announcement: We attacked
at $40 o'clock this morning on a wide
'front.'
The Daily Mail declares the answer
to the latest German effort to divide
the entente allies by pretending that
Great Britain made the peace pro-
posal and that Germany was ready to
evacute Belgium is supplied by Sir
Douglas Haig The newspaper adds:
Meanwhile, it is the first duty of the
British government to take far more
energetic measures than il has ap-
piled heretofore to curb the treacher-
Gus agitation of pacifists, which is
the enemy's last hope"
The Daily News says: Now that
there appears for the first time some
prospect that Germany may be nerv-
ing herself to say restoration in earn
est, the immediate response is the
official warning that there is no fear
of the entente allies being hoodwinked
by such subterfuges.'

Secret Operation on President
Cleveland Told of by Physician
in Current Magazine Article

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Elm an
article in the current issue Of the Sat
urday Evening Post, DR.. w. w. Keen,
emeritus professor of surgery Of the
jefferson Medical College Of this city,
reveals2 for the first time the facts
connected with the surgical operation
performed on President Cleveland on
July 1, 1893. 1t will be recalled that
the publication of rumors of such an
operation led to animated controversy
and to official denial from Washing
ton.
The operation was performed only a
few days before congress met in
special session to hear Mr.. Cleveland
message urging the repeal of the
Sherman Act, and DR.. Keen explains
that the reticence regarding Mr..
Cleveland's condition was due to the
gravity of the financial situation and
the belief that it would affect his
plans respecting the repeal of this
measure.
The operation was performed on
board the Yacht Oneida, belonging to
Commodore E. G. Benedict Dr. Keen
thus describes its extent:
Entire Jaw Removed.
Inc entire left Jaw was removed
from the first bicuspid tooth to Just
beyond the last molar, and nearly up to
the middle. The floor of the orbit
the cavity containing the eyeball-was
not removed, as it had not yet been at
tackled. A small portion of the soft
palate was removed"
1t was on Sunday, June 10, of that
year that DR.. R. NJ. O'Reily, later sur
geon general of the United States
army examined a rough place in Mr..

Cleyeland's mouth An ulcer was dis
covered and the pathologist of the
army medical museum In Washington
reported after examination that it was
strangely indicative of malignancy.
The operation was performed by Dr.
Joseph D. Bryant of New York, assist
ed by DR.. Keen, DR.. E. G. Janeway of
New York, DIR. O'Reilly, DR.. John F.
Erdmann, and DR.. Ferdinand Has
brouck, dentist, was also present as
an assistant. The operation was done
entirely from the inside so no telltaIe
scar was left and later the president
was fitted with a rubber jaw plate
which enabled him to retain his ac-
customed voice and pronunciation.
Some weeks later a second operation
was performed to remove additional
tissue that was believed to be infected.
Mr.. Cleveland died fifteen years
after the operation.

1t IS altogether fitting that here in
