LOSS OF FINGER
NOT BAR TO ARMY

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Because
the loss of the trigger finger had
prevented his enlistment, Walter
Cogswell Forse. age 10, of Bingham
ton. n. Y, walked all the way from
that city to Washington to make per
sonal application to the major general
.commandant Of the L. s. marine corps
Forse carried sign on his back which
read. From Binghamton, n. Y. to
Washington, D. c., to join the U. S
marines. It's worth it,"
Upon his arrival here young Forse
proved that the loss of the index fin
ger of his right hand was no handicap
in the performance of military duty
and special authority was granted for
his enlistment. So far as is known
he is the first man, similarly handi
capper, to pass the military authori
ties.

RENDER UNTO CEASAR
THAT WHICH Is CEASAR'S

Our officers added another plea of
guilty TO their credit this forenoon,
thereby saving the county another
costly trial. Manuel Gallardo, who
was under arrest on the charge OF
assault with a deadly weapon with In.
tent TO kill. was permitted to plead
guilty to a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon with intent to do great
bodily harm, and he will be sentenced
to n term OF one to two years in the
state prison. The penalty for the first
mentioned offense is a term of one to
fourteen years.
II will be remembered that Gallardo
ran amuck in the Indian village north
of town and made Ham Blain do n
hot foot in order to keep his hide
intact.
Trials are expensive and in consid.
Grafton OF the taxpayers the officers
are constantly vigilant to avoid them
by securing pleas of guilty by gather,
ing the evidence and making out clear
cases. When the accused men know
that they have conviction staring then,
in the face they are generally inclineS
to plead guilty and have the matter
over with.
We call this good work and we
compliment the officers.

EYE SURGEONS ACHIEVE
WONDERS IN FRANCE

PARIS, July 10.-The remaking Of
the eye region through the ,transplan.
tation of part of the mucous mem
brane and the grating of eyelids and
lashes are among the marvels of plas-
tic surgery accomplished in France
during the war by DR.. Borsch, the IA.
nous American oculist, who, since
August, 1914, has been chief ophthal-
mic surgeon at the huge Grand Pal
ais Military Hospital in Paris.
DR.. Borsch has just returned from
trip TO the trenches and field hos
Ditals, which he made at the request
of the department OF health for the
purpose OF advising as TO the possi
bility of improving existing methods
OF treating wounds Of the eye and
saving the vision of the thousands OF
soldiers who in this latter phase OF
the war are suffering from such in
juries.
Three years of constant daily ex-
perience in the treatment of eye
=
DR.. Borsch on his return, has en-
abled me to witness very consider
able improvement in the methods en-
ployed, and very gratifying results
have taken up our task in 1914 with
the benefit OF the experience we have
since acquired. our results would Ger.
tainly have been more than 100 per
cent better.
The one great lesson we have
learnc: is that our chances of oper-
ating successfully in cases of eye
wounds are enormously increased
when patients are brought to us inn
mediately after they have received
their wounds. The same remark, OF
course, applied TO all wounds, and all
surgeons are insisting emphatically
upon the need for the lightning trans
portatiOn of the wounded TO hospital.
How well the heads OF the French
medical service realize this will be
understood when | say that during
my Champagne trip | found many
cases in which the wounded had been
brought from the trenches to the
field hospitals, washed and operated
upon. with all dressings completed
within four hours of their receiving
their injuries. The surgeons and
nurses work under the constant men,
ace of death. ] myself saw them
working in first aid dugouts and in
the hospitals just behind the lines
amidst never. ending showers of big
shells, yet they handle their patients
with a coolness, rapidity and skill
which would not be surpassed in the
operating theater of Paris hospital.
| THE wounded are unanimous in
their praises of the treatment they
is 1t that l do not think it possible
to improve upon the work of the
iielu hospitals that we inspected. We
saw many wounded with severe frac.
lures of the thighs and legs who
were walking about the wards in a
special apparatus four days after
their being wounded; these men as.
sured me they had never suffered a
moments pain.
"We also saw many German wound
ed, and there was not one of them who
did not seem pleased to be a prisoner
in French hands. They are treated
With precisely the same care and de
votion as the French wounded, whose
wards they share, and no distinction
wha ever is made.

checrlulness OF the wonderful poilus

WAR SUMMARY
(By Review Leased wire)

American troop ships have success fully braved the tetrrors of Germany's submarine warfare and landed two contingents of American fighting forces in France-men of the regular United States army.
 The troops, the first to reach the war area, were greeted enthusiastical- ly on their unexpected arrival by the toWnspeople of the port at which they deha-hed. The men, all in fine fettle. have been sent to a nearby training camp, whence they are expected to proceed in the near future to the bat i!e front.
 Again the operations along the west ern front in fFrance are being carried cut mainly by the artillery wings of Ire army The infantry activity, what little there is of it, is by patrol parties in which only small bits of territory have been attacked. In one of these minor attacks the Canadians have Oc- cupied an additional trench astride the Lens-Arras road, but in another at tempt to bite further into the Lens sector they were repulsed, according to the German war office.
 Reciprocal artillery bombardments of considerable activity continue along the Aisne front and in the Champagne there has also been a renewal of the big fire in the Avocourt sector, north west of Verdun.
 In the Asiago plateau zone of the Austro-Italian theater the Austrian ar- tillery has shattered positions recently taken by the Italians and reoccupied them. The fighting was on Monte Ortigara and the Austrians assert they captured more than 1900 prisoners. The Rome war office, in admitting the withdrawal of the Italians, said the destroyed positions afforded no shelter to the Italians from the mur- derous fire. of the Austrian artillery.
 Lively fighting continues between the Russian and Austro-German forces on the eastern front, particularly in Galicia The operations on the Mace donian front continue of minor impor- tance and there is nothing to be gleaned from the reports of the bel ligerents to indicate that a general engagement is brewing. There have, however, been several smart skir- mishes and one attack by the enemy preceded by a violent bombardment against the French positions. It was repulsed.
 Mines or Teutonic submarines were responsible for the sinking last week of 21 British vessels of more than I,60O tons each and seven under 1.6O0 tons, according to the weekly British admiralty statement.

NEW YORK, June 27-The stock market was goverened by cofiicting influences today, early gains being re duced or wholly eradicated in the fin al hour. Forenoon advances were at tributed mainly to relaxed money con ditions from the release of Liberty Loan deposits. while late selling was accompanied by unfavorable reports affecting rails and war issues.
 Call money opened at six per cent but soon eased to 419 and later fell to two per cent, the minimum for more than a fortnight Time loans also shaded from 14 to F per cent for the shorter maturities.
 Rails were negligible in the days operations. Some of the high priced specialties, notably Industrial Alec hol. which reacted five points. contrib luted to the sharp reversal of the final hour.
 1 United States Steel and Colorado Fuel were among the strongest issues, recording gross gains of to 3 points but forfeiting much of this before the close
 i Coppers were better at ore time by 1 to points, and Pittsburgh Coal led the coalers. Reading was almost the only high grade railway issue to man. | fest market strength, but reacted sharpley on relatively small dealings.
