WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Nov. 1.
by MaiD -Germany's domination OF
the inhabitants Of Alsace-Lorraine has
now become so uncertain that they are
no longer allowed to receive letters
from the male members Of the faml-
lies serving on the various German
fronts. This curious state Of affairs has
Just been discovered by the tinding Of
orders establishing the new system OF
government letter transmission for the
two provinces.
Germany's precautions are presum-
ably dictated by fear that the soldiers
in her armies from Al ace and Lor-
raine, might communicate to their
families military or other useful in
formation, and that this in turn might
be communicated by the inhabitants OF
the two provinces 10 the French across
the border.
All letters from German soldiers Of
Aisatian OF Lorraine origin must now
pass through a newly created Office at
Stuttgarth. There government en-
ployes make extracts Of the letters, and
il is these extracts that the families OF
the soldiers in Alsace-Lorraine eventu-
ally receive Tn, entire system is self
explained in the following rextract''
that has just come into the hands Of
the French military authorities:
"Stuttgarth, October H. 1917.
"As recent measures prohibit the
sending into the occupied portions Of
Upper Alsace and Lorraine letters COM

NINE OF TEN WOUNDED
IN THIS WAR RECOVER

Although surgery and medical science
have scored their greatest trlumphs in
the treatment Of the wounded in the
present war, the conditions which have
had to be met are the worst in all the
history Of warfare.
II Il had not been FOR the discovery
Of bacteria and the method of lighting
them by anti-toXins, the vast majority
Of the wounded IN the present war
would have died horrible deaths ln-
stead, over 90 per cent. have recovered
and over 40 per cent. return 10 the Eight
ing lines.
There have also been wonderful Inn
provements IN the mechanical instru-
ments of surgery. The improved splints
for broken limbs arc wonders Of sim
plicity. With these splints wounded
men can be transported in auto, train
and hospital ship without pain or in
jury. where formerly the moving Of the
wounded was a he'll OF agony.
In the treatment of wounds the In
vention OF the Carrel-Dakn system Of
irrigating and cleaning deep wounds has
attracted wide attention and has saved
many lives. 10 is a cumbersome process,
however, and reqpires the redressing
Of the wounds every two hours. The
surgeons are actively seeking simpler
methods.
The next great step TO be taken in the
armies will be the vaccination of all
the troops with the anti-gangrene serum
which viii prevent gaugrcne from

phold and smallpox, and the careful

sanitation Of camp sites, food and water
have already cut down the deaths from
sickness TO below the normal peace
time rate-whereas in the Civil War the
deaths by disease vastly exceeded the
deaths in battle or in the wounded hos
pitfalls.
While trench warfare has evolved
new and difficult kinds Of wounds, it
has had its great compensation for the
wounded and for the surgeons. Station
airy warfare enables the wounded to be
picked up as soon as hurt, and 10 be
placed in expert hands and in fully
equipped hospitals from the moment Of
injury The hosuitals, and the ambu-
lances are always at hand and work like
clockwork.
In the war of movement all is DIFF
ferent There the hospitals are left far
TO the rear and the medical corps must
trail the armies as best It can as they
sweep across countrq The wounded
must often lie for hours where they
fall before the ambulances reach them.

Pooling Plan
WORKING OUT
THE NEW SY1'TEM

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-The oper-
ating vice-presldents Of the leading
Eastern railroads, who have been
formed into a committee to operate
these roads as a centralized system I'M
der the plan announced on Saturday
by the roads war board. held their
meeting here today.
This committee Is admittedly facing
a stupendous task In working out the
details Of the plan, which will be put
into effect gradually. The committee
will sit as a permanent body and will
have supreme authority over the oper-

paired in the shops Of another. can

respective OF ownership, and can lay
out routes for freight over any lines It
sees NJ.
The railroad priority law Is TO be in
vOked for the necessary authority TO
route shipments. not only Of Govern
ment but Of prqiyate freight One OF
the chief causes OF the congestion
which has arisen, railroad officials
say, has been the lack Of centralized
control nj the matter Of routing. Ship
pers have had the right to designate
The railroad over which they wanted
their goods 20 move. The Government
has issued certain general priority
orders covering coal and other COM
m0dities, but this Is far different from
Issuing routing orders, some system for
which will now be evolved, it Is eX-
roctod Whether this will be done by
the War Industries Board or by some
new agency has not been determined.
The authority conveyed TO the Presi-
dent in the priority law TO direct move
ments Of freight is relied upon to over
come many Of the obstacles which
would seem 10 be raised through the
different state laws and the regulations
OF state railroad commissions Accord
ing 10 members Of the Railroad War
Board. It has been this state control
which has stood in the way OF much
that might have been done TO increase
efficiency
Under state laws these commissions
i'm many cases have had the power TO
step in and Illustrate any curtailment
VI traffic and change Of schedules. But
ihe priority act, It is held, supersedes
these state laws, though to clear this
point up it admittedly may require
ome amendment by CONGRESS. Pend
ing this, however the War Board
whose plan has the approval of the
government, is relying upon co-opera
ton Of the State commissions In put
ting their plan for q centralized rail-
road system into operation.
