The readjustment in the security
markets seems to have gone much
further than the reimbursement OF
business. Indeed, there are some
who hold that liquidation has car
ried prices to a point where, as a
banker put it, anything the market
is likely to encounter during the bal
ance of this year has been dis
counted" That is putting the case
rather strongly, but the fact remains
that investment securities seem to
lie on the bargain counter One may

of unouestioned merit 20 yield an
average of better than Z per cent,
though every one knows that the
solvencv of the railroads is not
threatened. Similar conditions OBJ
tain in the markets for other classes
If investment securities. Therefore,
the view which prevails in Wall
Street at the moment, namely, that
while nothing like bull market can

ton is past, seems to be well

EDITORIAL NOTE. - William Lee
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeltzeHdorh,
the lafter's revelations of the inner
life of the Imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the possessor of it's innermOst
secrets.
The English "WhO's who" says of
hint 3He has intimate knowledge Of
the secret service Of Continental coun-
tries and is considered by the govern
ment (of Great Brittany an authority on
such Matters Another authority sayst
Stew people have been more closely as
ISOLATED with or know more OF the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than he.'
LeQueux probably has more sources
of secret information at his command
than any contemporary In civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
crnment has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret information through
a specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as voluntary
assistant.
Count Won Heltxendorff became an In
innate of LeQueux several years prior
to the outbreak of the war; he has been
living in retirement in France since
August, 1914, and II was there that Le-
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adjutant permission to
make public these revelations of the
inner life Of the HohenxOllerns-that
the democracies Of the world might

hidden, personalities of the two domi-
nant members of the autocracy II fs
now arrayed against.

A Strange, lnexpllcabIe Affair.
In the early days of 1912 found
myself, as the personal adjutant of his
imperial highness the crown prince, in
yolved in a very strange, even mex
plicable affair.
The drama opened in the emperor's
palace in Berlin on New Years night,
1912, when, as usual, grand court re-
ception was held.
In the famous White salon, with its
ceilings gaudily emblazoned with the
arms Of the Hohenzollerns as bur-
graves, electors, kings, emperors, and
what-not, its walls Of colored marble
and gilded bronze, and its fine statues
Of the Prussian rulers, we had all as
sembied and were waiting the entrance
Of the emperor.
OF sudden the tap Of the chamber
lains stick was heard thrice, the gold
and-whlte doors instantly fell open,
and the emperor, his decorations
cleaning beneath the myriad lights,
smilingly entered with his waddling
consort, the crown prince, and their
brilliant suite.

very large ones, which in the sunshine
changed colors so beautifully that he
conceived the idea Of using them as
backgrounds for photographs.
These large bubbles were blown with
an ordinary bellows, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The soap solution
was heated and large-mounted fun
mel was dipped into 1t. The bellows,
connected with the funnel, was then
worked very gently. Bubbles with as
great a circumference as two and
half feet were easily obtained.

chiefly in books. Eminent surgeons
had written. explaining that you
could addition to that, in this case,

practice had not been available. 1t
developed on Major Gillies and the
surgeons whom he gathered about
him to break new ground with each
case.
No two facial cases are the same.
A burn from shrapnel below the eye
may make it impossible to use that
side of the face at all in the oper-
alton; one man may need the bridge
of his nose raised, another may need
the nostrils built up. In making jaws
various methods have been applied,
in books, such as building from rib
or from an arm. In practice each
case must be studied with far more
attention than a lawyer gives to his
case; there are few precedents, ex-
cept those established by practice in
the last two years.
In the hospital one man lies with
his future nose growing in his fore
head. When it is thoroughly graft
ed an operation will swing it into
place. Another man, with his hand
so badly shot that he cannot use his
fingers, will lie for months his finger
bound over his nose, until it grows
into place, and nose is made from
a useless finger.
The case mentioned, in which a
jaw was created, is one of the most
complicated yet handled by Major
Gillies. The actual making of bone
and cartilage from one part of the
body to another had been known
! before, although the operation re-
mains one of extreme delicacy and
difficulty. An operation was made
on the patients scalp and a band
was taken out, swung over the nose
and put into place under the new
chin-bone. To demonstrate how this
was done Major Gillies took hand
kerchief and put it over a mans head
from ear to ear. Then while the man
held the cloth at both ears Major
! Gillies swung it down until it fitted

Aldershot and now in its beautiful
setting near London, has to it's credit
nearly 1000 operations, some of the
cases lasting nearly eighteen months
and still incomplete. Occasionally
when the surgeons are ready to per-
form a further operation on a pa
tient the man refuses, declaring him
self perfectly satisfied with his face.
But in the early stages the men are
pathetically anxious to be operated
upon; they are continually gazing in
mirrors to mark the progress of their
features, and after an operation they
often crowd around the patients bed
and compare notes. Sometimes they
advise the surgeons, saying that they
do or do not want an operation sim
liar to that performed on the man in
the next bed.
For the wounded and disfgured,
these operations hold out the one
hope of a return to life among men
and women. For those who are
safe from the horrors of war the
mere. fact that so much can be done
for the unfortunates is blessing
and a grand comfort. But apart
from these considerations the work
of the Queens Hospital is a sim
gular and striking example of the
accomplishments of science in the
cause of humanity.
In November, 1915, Major (then
captain) H. D. Gillies was with the
Red Cross in France. Before the
war he had been a throat and nose
specialist in London and famous
golfer. When he got leave he went
to Paris and there studied the work
of French facial surgeons. On his
return he appealed to- Sir Alfred
Keogh, director-general of the army
medical service, and with his help
and the cordial cooperation of Sir
Arbuthnot Lane, Major Gillies was
able to start the first department for
facial surgery in England. He start,
ed with 200 beds; when present ex-
tensions are completed and arrange
ments are made for affiliated hospit-
ais there will be nearly 1880 beds.

NEW FACES FOB WAR WRECKS.
Wonderful Work in Facial Recon-
struction Being Done.

The latest developments of the
science of surgery in relation to the
war is to be found in a hospital
about ten miles from London. 1t is
the place where faces are remade
and restored after the ravages Of
shrapnel and shell have done their
worst.
Doctors and surgeons who have
tried their hands at facial surgery
will recognize at once the Importance
of this work. For the laymen, per-
haps, simpler statement, with ex-
amples, is necessary.
The surgeons of the royal army
medical corps at the Queens Hos
pital Undertake to make new face
for those officers and men who have
had part of their faces blown away
or riddled with shrapnel. In an. ex7
perience of nearly two years they
have found no case absolutely hope
less, and although they have had fail
ures in their work, they have sent
out something, like a thousand pa
tients wit hfaces who come to them
only as pitiable wrecks of men.
One of the most terrible cases was
that of Private Blank, who came
with his lower jaw shot away. Today
he has lower jaw, made from part
of one of his own ribs, and a chin,
with beard growing on it, made
form his own scalp. Before he
leaves the hospital he will be able
to eat solid food and, what is even
more to him, he will feel at ease
when he walks along the street. He
will not look like himself, but he
will look human. He has been
saved from a horror which need not
be described.
Other cases, where mems noses
have been shattered, or eyes shot
out, or chins broken, have been treat
ed. The CHASTITY distortions of the
face caused by wounds have been
put straight, and in many cases only
the slight scar of an ordinary skin
operation is visible to mark the sur
geon's cunning.

How Burnt Faces are Treated.
In the case of burnt faces the
work presents new difficulty be-
cause the flesh on which the graft is
to be made is not healthy. One
method is to lift skin from the chest
and draw it over the face, at the
same time building up those features
which have been broken down. In
this, as in all cases, long pondering
and close study, preceded the oper-
alton, and here, as frequently, an
unforeseen development, in the
course of the actual operation, per-
mitted a variation of plan.
Another achievement of the hospit-
al is the perfection of eye-making.
The false eye is now projected, as
the normal eye, and the cartilage
so placed that the two eyes move alb
solutely together, as they do in a per-
feet pair of eyes, 1t is often impos-
sible to distinguish the false from
the true. This work is the indepen-
dent invention of Capt. ]. L. Rynard,
of South Africa, who is Major Gill
LESS chief colleague.
Under Lieut. Col. Colvin the man
agement of the hospital has been so
successful that representatives of the
Dominions have undertaken the es-
tablishment of facial hospitals near
by, so as to be close to the center.
It has been suggested that Ameri-
can facial surgeons should establish
their hospital somewhere near the
Queens so that they, too, could reap
the benefit of this long experience.
Meanwhile it is interesting to note
that across the channel two Amerl-
cans, one Hon. Major Valadier, OF
French descent, and the other, Hon.
Major Kaazanjian, member of the
Harvard unit, are doing similar Work
to that done by Major Gillies in Eng
land.-Gilbert Selden.
