PRINCE OF WALES HELPS
ROME KEEP ITALY DAY
Tribuna Praises President Wilson in
Commenting on Celebration
in America.

ROME, May 24-The Prince OF
Wales arrived from the italian front
to-day to participate in the patriotic
celebrations OF Italy's entrance into
the war lie was given a magnificent
welcome by thousands OF schoolboys'
who cheered and waved flags.
The Tribuna, commenting on the
American celebration OF Italy Day,
said to-day:
president Wilson was perfectly
right in his assertion that part OF the
big heart Of America throbs in the
Italian Army. Not only fhe army,
but the whole population nurtures
the most cordial and grateful senti-
monts toward America.
Italy Day is tho gratifying result
OF President Wilson's own initiative,
personal activity and sentiment,
backed by the wholc-hearted support
OF the generous American people. The
Italians hope that on Italy Day,
when the tri-color Is welded with the
Stars and stripes, Americans will
know, understand and appreciate
Italy's heartfelt gratitude and undy-
ing friendship"

GERMANS MAKING
ANOTHER CHANNEL
OUT Of zEEBRUCGE
Photographs by Aviators Show
Efforts to Get Around
Sunken Ships.
LONDON. MAY a.-HayInK failed

LONDON. May A.-Having failed
IN attempts to blow up tho two con-
crete laden ships sunk in the entrance
20 the Bruges Canal at Zeebrugge.
the Germans are now engaged in cut
ting away the piers in an attompt to
outflank the obstruction.
Photographs taken three days ago
by British naval aviators show this
and they also show how completely
the canal entrance has been blocked.
SO the Germans have adopted the ex-
pedient OF removing the piers on the
west side OF the canal in order to
make a largo enough channel for
torpedo craft and other vessels larger
than submarines TO pass out to sea.
The photographs. which have beon
viewed at the Admiralty by Tho Asso-
clated Press. also show that German
craft In the canal are headed west
ward, indicating. according TO tho
Admiralty. that they are trying TO
pass out by way OF ostond, where the
canal entrance is not blocked as COM
pletely as at zeebrugge.
It b doubtful II there is enough
water at tho ostend outlet for even
the smaller boats to get TO sea.
Photographs made there by British
flyers show that the depth OF tho
water at Ostend varies, a depth OF
as low as four feet being recorded.

HYLAN AND CRAIG
LAY SUBWAY DELAY
TO SERVICE BOARD
to Shift Responsibility
at Cost of slo,OoO,ooo Is
Charged.

Mayor Hylan and Comptroller Craig
assailed the Public Service Com mis-
sion at todays meeting OF the Board
OF Estimate, charging that delays in
highly important plans have been re-
sponsible for not only the present un-
finished condition of the new SUBJ
ways, but for an attempt of contract
ors to shift financial burdens that
would cost the taxpayers at least $lO,-
0OO, 900.
"If plans delayed by the Public Ser
vice Commission had been ready
when originally promised the moro
important of the new subways would
have been completed a year ago,
wouldn't thcy?" asked Mayor Hylan
OF counsel for the General Contract
ors' Association.
The lawyer admitted the Mayor
spoke the truth.
While Mayor Hyan and Comp
trollcr Craig are battling with the
Public Service Commission over the
subway problem, II developed to-day
that there is very serious division
of sentiment in the Estimate Board
as to how 1t should be solved. Under
the terms OF the Lockwood Law tho
Public Service Commission has the
power to readjust subway contracts
so that labor and material problems
produced by war conditions may be
settled. The law was drawn by tho
Commission and as a result the
Board Of Estimate, which is respon-
sihle for the money the city puts into
subways, has no means OF learning
any OF the details upon which the
Public Service Commission makes
changes in subway contracts.
Both the Mayor and the Comptroller
are piqued over the action Of the Pub
lie Service Commission. and now re-
fuse eleventh-hour offers of confer
ences.
II was finally to-day decided that
the Public Service Commission follow
the Lockwood Law of its own MAX
ing to the letter and submit to the
Estimate Board action taken on each
contract. 1t Is expected that details
or reasons for the changes will ac-
company the Commissions decisions

has been completely punctured by
tho work Of American surgeons be-
hind the lines In Picardy.
Not only were many things claimed
by the Bochcs az strictly German
stolen from the surgeons OF other
nations and labelled as German, but
medical feats widely advertised from
Berlin are being equalled and even
surpassed every day by Allied sur
geons.
The first hospital exclusively for
desperate cases, operating as field
unit, is an American Medical Corps
hospital within range OF the enemy
guns In Picardy. Four Americad
women nurses there probably are
working closer to the front than any
other women In the entire Allied
line. Unworried by air raids and
bombardments, their only concern
lnughlngly mentioned In one quarter
is that "the gas masks are too big
for our noses"
One example OF the remarkable
surgery now under way Is that OF
giving n man a new chin and Jaw.
His entire chin was shot away. Five
operations were necessary. First, the
flesh OF tho neck and face were
drawn together. This being ex-
trcmely flexible. the deficiency was
easily filled. A piece OF bone was
then taken from n rib and grated
into place as a substitute for the
missing part OF the jaw. False teeth
wero fitted onto this. and the man
now has a new and workable lower
face.
Men whose lungs and intestines
have been punctured are being saved
daily by the most delicate operations.
Arms and legs are being saved which
under tho old methods would have
been amputated at once. The hos
pital is fitted nearly as completely as
a base unit. including X-ray appa-
ratus. steam heat and spotless operat-
ing rooms.
The worst enemy OF the doctors In
the fight TO save lives is shock. Some
men who have been wounded by high
explosive shells are cold and semi
pulseless from shock when they ar
rive at the hospital. They are placed
In bed and boxed In low framework
crib. A small stove Is started and
they are soon warm. the effects OF the
shock are reduced and the pulse be-
comes normal again.
The physicians marvel al the
physical fitness and endurance OF the
soldiers Many OF them are so badly
wounded It would appear they would
be unable to live more than Il few
minutes. But they laugh and talk
regarding their experiences, as though
"A dangerous wound was anything but
serious.
Only men who otherwise would be
certain to die are taken to this hos
pital. Seventy-flve per cent. OF these
are being saved. The main part OF
the hospital is a big chateau. I'M
proved cases are placed in tents on
the lawn.

GIFT
LARGEST MADE TO
RED CROSS FUND
Continued from First Page.)

No. a. blded his time and gave no
hint OF the report he had to make in
advance Of his turn to speak. Then
he said:
Last year the Rockefeller Foun-
dation contributed ;5,OOO.O0O to thel
Red Cross, which was part Of the to-
tai amount which 1t pledged to war
enterprises during the year-Sll, 900, 900
in round figures. Since the annual in
come Of the Foundation Is about &c.
500, 900. the greater part of which Is
already pledged TO the support Of va
rious enterprises, educational, health,
etc, which the Foundation itself IL
carrying on in various parts OF the
world, 1t was able to make these war
appropriations only by intrenching
upon its principal to the extent Of
$5,OOO,OOO and by reason of the gene
rosity OF it's founder, who placed
s5,5OO,OOO OF additional funds in its
hands.
Foundation are not now in a position
to renew n contribution of this size
or anything approaching it. Nor Is
such gift necessary even II 1t were
possible, for to-day the Red Cross has
record of achievement which is un-
precedented. its membership is 5000.
900, and as Il result OF its wise and ef-
ficient management. II has won the
complete confidence and is entitled 10
the fullest support cf the American
| people.
"The contribution which the
Foundation has voted 70 make Is con-
siderably in excess OF the amount
which its resources for the current
year would justify and Is made pos
sible only by a gift from the founder
to cover the excess amount"
Mr.. Rockefeller's speech did not
| srecify what sum John d. Rookie
feller sr. had added to the Founda-
| tion quota to fill the round 5000, 900.
| Tho diners rose at the conclusion Of
his remarks and cheered both the
Foundation and its creator for many
minutes.
While the midday luncheon OF the
Red Cross workers was being held in
! tho Assembly room at the Chamber c.
| Commerce Gov, Whitman paid an I'M
expected visit. Tho Governor and his
military aides were escorted to the

mittec. where he spoke a few words
in behalf OF the Red Cross drive.
II am moro sure OF the attitude OF
the people in Albany in regards to the
Red Cross drive than | am in regards
to their action on other things" ho
laughingly said,
Magistrate Francis y. McQuade in
troduced an innovation in the Tomhi
Police Court to-day for the benefit
of tho Red Cross. Lined up before hin
at the morning session were two score
OF petty offenders, and he told them
that he would let them all off with q

TO donate TO the Red Cross IN,

IN FRANCE, Thursday, May 20
ASSOCIATED Press).-The American
dead, sleeping In tho soil Of France,
will receive the homage OF tho
American Army on Memorial Day.
Many Of those who have given their
lives for their country are in graves
over which shells and bullets arc
nying. close to tho spots where they
fell, but wherever they are resting
their comrades will bear them in
mind and pay tribute to their mem
ory.
To many Americans now f1ghtlng
In France Memorial Day heretofore
simply has meant a holiday. In a
vague way they appreciated the
meaning of tho decoration OF graves
by tho survivors OF Civil War DAYS,
but nov they regard Memorial Day
In n different light. for It means
honoring the memory OF men they
have known. bunked with and fought
with.
Throughout all the zones in which
there are American soldiers plans
have been made for ceremonies. Tho
French Will participate in nearly all
cases. AZ one place is row OF
mounds under which lie sons OF New
York. Men of the same regiment will
assemble there to replace the faded
American fiags with new ones and de-
posit wreaths OF fresh flowers and
others which will Withstand time and
weather.
Similar ceremonies will take place
at the graves OF the boys from Iowa.

action or have died from wounds. In
the same locality roadside graves of
French soldiers. buried where they
fell In tho earlier days OF the war.

At General Headquarters all graves
of American and French soldiers In
that vicinity, many of whom died In
hospitals. will be decorated with
flowers and crossed fiags-tho Star
Spangled Banner and the tri-color of
France. Led by n band, u body OF
soldiers will march to the main GEM
etery where the graves have been dug
on q peaceful hillside overlooking a
valley through which winds n canal
lined with stately trees. There the
troops will be drawn up while Amer
lean and French Army chaplains re-
peat prayers for the dead. A squad
will fire n salute.
The other ceremonies will be SINH
lar. In the sector northwest of Toul
they will be held at several localities.
Men OF the now and the old armies
lie there, some in cemeteries exclu-
sively American, others beside French
soldiers. The heroes OF the air who
have given their lives will be remem-
bered suitably by their comrades.
At various points along the battle
front there are little groups of Ameri-
can graves ana single mounds mark
ing the resting places OF men from
other units which have faced the en-
emy there for time and then moved
elsewhere Efforts Will be made TO
decorate every one OF these graves.
French officers soldiers and civil
ians, having learned the Significance
OF Memorial Day. are making plans
OF their own to show their apprecla-
tlon OF the Americans who have
fought ana died for their country.
Individual American soldiers also are
planning to place flowers on the
graves Of their bunkies whom they
