U-BOAT RAIDS TO GROW.
SURGEON DECLARES

Chicago, Jan. German sci
ence, which developed warfare to its
highest state OF destructiveness now
is devoting itself with equal energy
to alleviate wars sufferings.
This Is the interesting information
brought back from the front by DR..
Ralph Henry Kuhns, who has re-
turned to Chicago after spending
eight months in the American Field
Hospital at Deutsch Eylau In East
Prussia. DR.. Kuhns is the only
American surgeon to have been adj
mitted to membership in the German
Red Cross-a distinction which car
ried with it an honorary rank as a
lieutenant in the German army.
THE manufacture of artificial
limbs has reached the ultimate stage
OF perfection among the Germans"
said DR., Kuhns. Il saw artificial
arms capable of doing the finest.
most delicate work. Wires are run
from the fingers and attached to the
muscles of the stump in such way
that they can he moved with almost
the same facility as the natural
fingers. Others are made which
served the skilled mechanic and the
laborer"
The people. ne said are heartily
tired of war and eagerly discuss the
posi- Utilities of peace.
However, preparations in Official
circles are going on for war, and
the ministry OF marine is planning
for ruthless submarine warfare as
soon as spring opens.
II know that 225 new submarines
are being completed in German ship
yards" said DR.. Kuhns. These. add
ed to her already large number of
T-boats, will enable Germany to con-
duct wholesale destruction OF British
shipping such as never has been wit
messed before. 1t is believed they
will drive British commerce. from the
seas and give the English q taste OF
their own medicine by establishing an
effective blockade about the British
Isles"
