pain. I was unable to work for five
weeks. During the time I was unable
to work my employer paid my doc
tor bill and $500 per week which was
half my wages. He then informed me
that was not entitled to further bene-

Representative Collier of Mississippi,
in speech today Analysing the causes
and development of the European war,
declared that the assassination of the

text for the war. and that the under
lying idea was to get control of Serbia
as a short cut to the Suez canal. He
praised the Presidents stand in his
early efforts to avoid war and entan-
clements with other nations. and said
that IL the President had forborne
longer. under the persistent insults
and outrages of the German emperor,
the United States would have sunk to
the level of a second or third rate
power. He said Prussian militarism
and Prussian kultur had made Ger
many an outlaw among the nations of
the earth.

WONDERS OF WAR SURGERY.
Large Percentage Of Men Cured and
Returned to Front,

AN ATLANTIC PORT. August 7.-Out
of one detail of 1850 wounded men
sent for special treatment to a London
hospital suffering from crushed and
broken bones 1000 were able to return
to active duty at the front, according
to Maj. J. E. Goldthwait. an orthopedic
surgeon of the United States Army
Medical Reserve Corps, who arrived
here today from Europe. Maj. Cold
thwait is one of twenty American medical
officers who have been in France and
England observing and studying new
methods of treating wounded. He
said he returned to the United States
to recruit surgeons who could be given
the advantage of similar study in
order that the American army. when it
gets into action, may have the benefit
of the modern treatment of wounds
from its own surgeons.
Maj. Goldthwait added that were 1T
not for the successful methods of
treating wounded now being practiced
it would be better to let some of the
men die rather than to allow them to
recover and continue through life the
cripples they would be under usual
conditions

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS, France, August 6. (delayed).-
The most exciting experience of the
first days inspection of the training
camps by Gen. Pershing Is to be con-
tinued daily until each has been visited.
In the camp of the marines. who are
billeted in the last of the long string
of villages in which the American boys
are quartered. the general became en-
thusiastic over the grenade throwing.
He had watched from a safe distance
the exploding of the shells which the
green suited marines, each protected
by blue French steel helmet, were
hurting. The men were using hand
grenades and the general wanted to try
his hand at 1t but a French colonel sug-
rested that he use a rifle grenade.
Respoding to q shrill blast from a
whistle q dozen French soldiers came

A French officer explained the mocha

Of the trench. A soldier ran up with a
handful of bombs. carrying them like
base balls. He fitted one of them to
the muzzle of the gun, which projected
above a parapetlo of logs and rock in
front Of the trench.

warning.

Some Athletic Stunts.
Earlier In the day I saw a regiment
Of infantrymen stripped to the waist
and drilling under French tutors. They
were walking on their hands, hopping
on each foot, leaping on a Roman

the waist of the man in front of him
and all perspiring like amateur prize
fighters The French declare that the
Americans are making wonderful prog
ress in these athletic exercises, which
are designed to harden and timber the
men. Much of the work, however, is an
old story to the American officers.
1t was announced today that a noted
American gas expert was coming from
Paris to supervise the helmets and the
gas chambers which are being con-
structed. The shortage of tobacco has
caused the weed to soar to fabulous
prices. The boys insist on having the
