Bulgar King Fears

BERLIN, Aug. II (via Amsterdam
Aug. 12).--In an interview with a
Stuttgart editor King Ferdinand OF
Bulgaria. while visiting the King of
Wurttemberg, said he believed the de-
sire for expansion would continue in
liberated Russia and that the smaller
states must constantly be on their
guard.
King Ferdinand estimated the war
strength of the United States as being
lower than its world power, which
would be of great significance in the
period Immediately after the war. The
King considers it possible that public
opinion in America will recognize how
much it has been nisled.
The economic future of his own
country, the Bulgarian King said, was
dependent upon a close association
with Germany and Austria Hungary,
which would be ready markets for Bull
garia's agricultural products. The
olive and lemon industries. he added,
especially were suited for Development

Corps, in attacking a German airdrome
single handed has been rewarded by

these from a height of fifty feet, killing

ground. but Captain Bishop, at height
of sixty feet, fired fifteen rounds into

PETROGRAD, Aug. 12.- Rumanian front {:
In the region of the Upper Dobra River and
north of the Doftena River fighting continues
with variable success. West of the Ocna-
Grozesn line, during the whole Of yester-
day. battles of great intensity took place.
The Austro-Germans launched stubborn at
tacks, chiefly in the direction of Ocna. Tow
ard evening the Russians were forced TO re-
tire TO Ocna. along the Moshorcli road and
10 the west of Grozcsni.
In the direction of Fokshani the Austro-
Germans yesterday launched stubborn attacks
along the Fokshani-Marasechti :ailroad line.
Our troops and the Rumanian troops. in
spite Of the considerable superiority of enemy
forces. stubbornly defended their position. and
made counter attacks, during which about
1900 German prisoners were captured. Tow

forces, our troops and the Rumanians re-
tired TO the villages Of Marasechti and Furt-

may judge that the game is not worth

Retreat Is Probable
In any event, il seems probable that
the Russian and RImanian forces will
be compelled TO retreat behind the
Sereth. which roughly cuts Moldavia
into two equal lengJhwise sections. with
Jassy in the eastern portion. II is to
be noted nevertheless that Mackensen's
campaign on the south is directed
against the lower Sereth, while in the
north Archduke Joseph is hammering
at the crossings of the upper Sereth.
Odessa, which some critics believe TO
be the objective Of the Teutonic cam

triangle. upon which the Austro-Ger-

Moldavia and Bessarabia would have to
be overrun before il was approached.

Russians Protest
German Barbarity
Assert Berlin Is Treating
Prisoners With Refined
Cruelty

PETROGRAD, Aug. 12-The Cen
trail Committee on War Prisoners is
sued a statement to-day "in high pro-
test against the refined barbarity which
Germany is displaying toward Russian
prisoners"
The statement says that Germany is
not fulfilling her promises regarding
the internment in neutral countries of
sick prisoners; that she is illegally re-
tanning military prisoners unit for SER
vice and that she is placing restric-
tions on the men communicating with
their homes, and intercepting letters
asking assistance from the Red Cross.
II also says that the rations of prison
ers have been reduced to unheard Of
proportions and that they include in
furious adulterated products. Prison
ers are compelled TO undertake super
human labor.
1t is asserted in the statement that
Germany abstains from replying to
proposals for the exchange of civilian
prisoners and hostages; for the allevia-
tion of the lot of the war prisoners on
the basis of reciprocity or for the eX-
change of tuberculous prisoners or the
sending of Sisters of Charity to nurse
them

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Aug. 12.-The

of Philadelphia, who returned to-day

Whenever our ambulances are within

a signal for heavy firing. The Ger

told by their officers tnat America was
a far more deadly enemy than the Brit

to destroy all signs of Americans on

Mr.. Houston said that sixteen shells
fell all around his machine during
one especially heavy bombardment,
when an ambulance train composed of

"The American troops are very pop

driver said, especially because of their
adapability to foreign conditions.
Everywhere along the front it is stated
that 100000 more men will be
needed to crush Germany. and the Al

Carrel to Teach War
Surgery to Americans
Hospital Here Composed of Port
able Buildings Like Those
Used at the Front

The Rockefeller Institute for Medi-
cal Research has trasplanted modern
, methods Of aseptic surgery from the
battlefelds of France to new War
Demonstration Hospital in this city,
where instruction will soon be offered
to members of the Army and Navy
Medical Corps.
Under the direction of DR.. Alexis
Carrel. famous for his treatment Of
septic wounds, and DR.. A. V. s. LAM
bert. of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, patients suffering from in
fected wounds will be cared for with
new methods used as demonstrations
for American surgeons.
The hospital is at Sixty-fourth
Street and Avenue A, and occupies a
series of portable buildings such as
are used in the latest base hospitals
on the Western front. The exact con-
ditions of war hospital work have been
carefully reproduced, and the plan is
expected 70 aid in solving the problem
of cantonment and other temporary
construction.
DR.. Carrel has been given leave OF
absence by the French government to
assist this country in surgical prepa-
ration. Army hospitals abroad are
filled with patients whose wounds are
more than 90 per cent infected. The
improvement of procedures for the
sterilization of foul wounds has been
one of the chief surgical achievements
of the war. The advances will be thor
oughly shown to American surgeons.
After the war the new methods will
have a wide importance in industrial
accident cases and in other branches
of practice. The hospital has been or
ganized with the approval and active
cooperation of the War and Navy de-
partments. There will be no charge
for treatment or care,

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM, Aug. II. Hand-to-hand
fighting of the most furious nature, in
which bayonets and clubbed rifles were
utilized, developed in the Glencorse
wood yesterday as a result of German
counter attack, by which the enemy re-
took the southeastern part of this ele
vation. Glencorse wood was the south
ern extremity of the line taken by the
British in Fridays offensive, and owing
to the fact that it overlooked the sur
rounding country the Germans deter
mined to regain it at any cost.
Yesterdays counter attack was most
determined. The Germans preceded
their infantry advance by an intense
bombardment from guns of all calibres,
and then sent troops forward under a
heavy barrage. The Germans were met
by strong fire by the British artillery,
and as they approached the wood were
moved down in large numbers by ma
chine gun fire.
Germans Pay the Price
But the expenditure Of life did not
enter into the German calculations.
They were willing to pay the price for
this important position, and the in
fantry was hurled forward through a
rain of death until the wood itself was
reached.
