readily TO the Carrel method.
Severe burrs that have healed in
measure and then have left raw and sup
purating surfaces which resisted the cura-
tive efforts usually practised have been
dealt with successfully at the War Dem
onstratiOn Hospital. The inflamed areas
have become healthy and have made it
possible for CRAFTS of new flesh TO secure
a foothold and then to spread and TO
form complete covering of vigorous

Probably nothing is more significant
than the work that has been done at the
War Demonstration Hospital in certain
cases of surgical tuberculosis; that is,

The story of Carrcl's work at Com

War Demonstration Hospital rests IN a
measure upon the pioneer work done by
Joseph Jackson Lister half century ago.
He called TO the attention OF the world

trained workers TO hold the population
together and minimize the perils.
Each emergency unit enrolls captain,
lieutenant, sergeant and nine patrolmen,
while from the reserve it has captain,
two lleutenants, two sergeants and ninety
two patrolmen. 1t also includes three
surgeons, SIX nurses and six assistant
nurses The main function is To care
for the wounded and the distressed. Each
has at its command certain facilities in
small emergency hospital or dressing sta
ton. The nurses report there when the
call comes. Here also are sent the ply
sicians. while others are availale for am
balances.
SO much for the municipal resources
for meeting the emergencies of catas-
trophe There would also be at hand the
aid of the Federal authorities. Troops
from Governors Island, the neighboring
military posts, naval reserves, the regi-
ments of the State Guard, would all nave
their places in giving aid and sue
cor TO stricken city.
What with the efficient cooperation OF
the Federal and the municipal author
tiles and the natural aptitude of Ameri-
cans to make the best of any situation,
the metropolis Of the western world need
have no fears of not being able to go
through even siege. The preparations
which have been made are undertaken
with the object of having the utmost
measure Of preparedness against the COM
ing of disaster OF of an alien foe.

called his profit paying farms "demonstra-

The committee has held one meeting and
its members are consulting with owners
of the office buildings of lower Manhattan
TO determine just how the throngs who
inhabit them by day may be most easily
managed.
'There is every reason why such plan
should be adopted sooner or later" said
Commissioner Enright, "for GOODNESS in

will have the cooperation of all. We do
not contemplate compulsory catastrophe
drill for the great business section, and
yet l have no doubt that many of the
tenants will volunteer eventually to aid
us in preparing for an emergency.
"A drill for the daytime population of
the skyscrapers would be the same in
principle as are the fire drills of the fac
tories and the schools. The theatres real
lied the Importance of having suitable ex-
its. On the programmes we see directions
TO the playgoers to select their exits and
TO look about for means of escape and not
TO wait until danger has arrived. All this
is done without the suggestion of panic.
The people of New York have become
educated TO it. The orderly way in which
crowds have been moved out of peril illus
trates how valuable it is to have every
body impressed with the idea of what to
do so that he may automatically follow
certain course when the time comes"
The Commissioner said that in Paris
and in London, where the population had
become accustomed TO the alarms of war,
that the visits of hostile airplanes and
Zeppellns, and even the fall of shells, were
received philosophically. In the French
capital when the danger signal is given
the people open all windows to reduce the
breaking of glass by conclusion and take
TO the cellars. The same idea is carried
out in London
The police are most concerned about the
lower end of the central borough. 1t is
said that one of The big skyScrapers Of
lower Broadway has within its walls from
twenty 10 twenty-five thousand persons a
day. There are armies of clerks and
stenographers, hundreds of accountants
and thousands Of hurrying business men.
There are batteries of elevators and in
Vulnerable stairs and also means of exit
to several streets or through the subways

planned the other day TO the Real Estate
Board of New York, let everybody keep
cool. Even if there were several hostile
airplanes over the city dropping bombs
the structures on which the explosives
would fall are of steel and masonry and
concrete and would stand much more pun
ishment than the ancient buildings of
European capitals. There would be sirens
sounded which have voices loud enough to
wake the dead. Several of them have
already been installed by arrangement
with the Edison Company. All the news
agencies and the ticker companies would
receive notice and the warning would
speed over telephone and telegraph.
The air alarm having been given, how
ever, the skyscraper denizens would be

expected to get from the upper regions
of the buildings to the lower portions. AS
there would undoubtedly be many persons
rush into the large foyers of the Office
buildings from the street it would be
better for the tenants to stay as nearly
as possible on the lower floors. Elevator
service would be demoralized, so the best
plan would be to take the stairs. Ger
tain tenants would be assigned in advance
TO leave by designated stairways. Mr.
Ryan hopes to hear of tenants in these
high buildings undertaking their own
organization.
Naturally, as Mr. Ryan states, there
would be many who would go into the
subways through the easements of the
skyscrapers. Arrangements have been
made for having the current turned off
from the third rail- so that the people who
might be crowded off the platforms would
not be in danger of fatal shocks.
There are many narrow streets in New
York" as Commissioner Enright ex-
presses it, "and through these the sky
scraper population would have to move
in conformity with a regular schedule.
Suppose that we have structure with
several exits. 1t would be understood
that those from certain floors would go
TO that exit and walk along the line of
William or Nassau street, or wherever it
was, TO City Hall Park, and from that
point they would dispense toward the
north Another division would be ex-
pected to go to the Battery. This is only
a tentative arrangement
In the upper regions of Manhattan
and in the less populated boroughs the
means of escaping from danger would be
far greater, and not so elaborate scheme
of evacuation would be necessary.
Whatever might occur, however, would
find all the forces of the Police Depart
ment working in connection with its Dl-
vision of National Defence, ready TO re-
spond to the needs of the hour. First,
the uniformed police force would respond.
The finely disciplined army Of 10000 men
is always ready. In the event of any great
catastrophe it would brace up the morale
of the people. 1t would have the aid of the
Fire Department, as when buildings have
fallen or there have been accidents on the
transportation lines.
There also exists an emergency relief
organization which has been especially
built up for service in the event Of a
catastrophe. There have been several no
table exhibition drills at which its eff
cheney was demonstrated. 1t is composed
of members of the uniformed force, of re-
serves of citizens, of details from the
Health Department and of volunteer
physicians and nurses. Every police pre-
cinct has its unit of 100 or more persons.
Thus in the ease of disaster there would
be at hand from $4,000 to 10000 well
