INCREDIBLE SURGERY FEArs.
Remarkable Operations Being Per.
formed Every Day At War Front.


French Front, Nov. 30.-.Almost in
credible feats have been and are being
accomplished every day Of the war oy
the surgeons who treat soldiers wound
ed on the battlefield. These remark
able feats have increased in frequency
as the stricken men are more quickly
gathered in by the ambuiances ana
brought to the field hospitals for sur
gical Intervention. ...
At the beginning of the war it was
not always possible to clean up
battlefield Of the casualties in less than
three or four days and on many oc-
casions wounded men waited even
longer before their injuries could be
handled The result Of this was that
large numbers of the wounded sue
cumbed from gangrene or blood-poi-
soning. or were rendered so feeble
from loss of blood that they were I'M
able to undergo operations that were
vitaAy necessary. 1t was at that time
regarded as a satisfactory result when
so per cent Of the wounded brought
into the hospitals recovered eventually
from their injuries.
This percentage Of losses among the
"ouNOtu men wOUlu al PlSSCNL pc AN-
garded with horror by the military sur
geons. who now reckon with perfect
assurance on saving about nine-tenths
Of the wounded men coming under
their treatment. During the battle OF
Flanders the percentage OF recoveries
among wounded men brought to the
hospitals amounted to eighty-six.
This striking figure was still further
improved on on the occasion OF the re-
cent battle in which the French wrest-
ed from the Germans the fort OF NAL
maison and caused them to evacuate
the Chemin des Danes after throwing
away hundreds Of thousands Of the
crown princes best troops in the effort
to retain 1t. The French surgeons re-
ports after the conclusion Of the fight
ing and the treatment OF all the wound
ed show that ninety men out OF every
hundred brought to hospital recovered
from their hurts.
Speed in collecting the wounded Is
the greatest factor in bringing about
this progress.
Americans have had much to do
with the speeding up OF the ambulance

There will be no battalion of death

officers nor aviators II Secretary Baker
has his way. Despite the fact that
President Wilson. members of con-
gress and high officials of the war
department have stated that they favor
commission being given to Miss Ruth
Law. the noted aviatrix, in order that
she might join the merican flying corps
in France. Secretary of War Baker
stated that he did not favor granting
her commission, as to do so would
'let down the Lars to wmen in the
United tSates army"
Miss Law, who Is recognized as
Americas leading woman aviator. who
holds worlds records for distance
flights, high altitude and speed, has
been in Washington for the past two
weeks seeking permission to fly a
battle plane on the western front.
Last summer Miss Law toured Ohio.
Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and
other states in her plane dropping
liberty loan literature.

ices then" said Miss Law. but now
