serviceable again. This is the most
difficult type OF surgery | know be-
cause needless to say it is very deli
cate work and the vast amount of
scar tissue resulting from the pro-
longed infection makes it doubly diff
ficult and delicate, because of the
close proximity to the big vessels,
you might say life itself. The Brit
ish surgeons have developed wonder
full technique in this work and get
very good results
The next type of cases are those
in which the nerves and muscles in
certain part of an arm or leg have
been shot away so there is no pos
sible chance of repair as above des-
cribed. In these cases muscle and
tension transplanting is done. Mus
cles from another group, still active,
are brought around and sewed in such
a way as to take the place of those
destroyed. Here, too, tine is requir-
ed to train muscles in an entirely diff
ferent work than they performed be-
fore, sort of re-education. And
again useless member is restored to
fairly useful arm, hand, leg or foot
All manner of deformities and frac-
lures of the arm, hand, leg, foot or
spine, or in fact any deformity result
ing from the war, have to be correct
ed. | assure you it is no small Job.
Stumps have to be reamputated and
reshaped SO that the artificial limbs
will be suitable. In fact / could go
on for long time telling of the won
derful work that is done here. The
men after they recover from the va
rious operations are given some oc-
|cupation in the curative work shops
which exercises the injured and re-
built parts SO that they are finally
made into self-supporting and pro-
ductive members of society again.
One must give great credit to the
English for they are very thorough
and and everything possible is done
for the unfortunate. AS I said before,
there is enough general surgery to
keep one fresh in it and we operate
from morning till night. I consider
myself very fortunate in having this
position.
Our trip over was very pleasant
and not lacking in excitement. It's
great stuff to stand by the life boat
assigned you with the life belt on,
peering off into the darkness of early
dawn, or across the pale water in the
moonlight. To say the least it gets
to be quite strain, though everyone
tried to affect an air of perfect ease.
Then to finally drop off to sleep,
standing up and be suddenly Weakened
by the discharge of depth bomb.
Needless to say, was glad to get my
feet on shore. We were hurried
away from port of debarkation to
London on fair afternoon, arriving
just after dark, and there caught it
from the air and were glad to be in
side even though building afforded
little protection, as some day I'll tell
you, but I have my doubts if you re-
ceive this as it will doubtless be CEN
sored, but we picked the wrong hotel
that evening. I'd say it's quite trans
fer from the quiet plains of Nebraska
to submarine zone and then to an
air raid.
| like it very much over here and
England is certainly pretty place,
even in winter, everything is green
and nice. Well, give my regards to
all, and by the way, I've lost about
80 pounds-in weight, not money.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM u. S. DOCTOR
COVER THERE"

L
art Bell, of York, Neb, who is cou-
sin of Mrs. Isidor Gelders, is reprint
ed from the Nebraska paper be-
cause of its interesting information.
On March 22nd he writes:
| have now been in a British mill
tary hospital for a month and half
and like the work very much. There
is certainly plenty of work and it is
all very interesting too. This hospi-
tai is an institution taking care Of
about 500 patients. The work being
reconstructive in nature is somewhat
different from the surgery of civil
practice, though there is enough gem
eral SURGERY to keep one in practice
on that type of work. The wounded
soldiers come to this and other SINH
lar hospitals scattered over England
for their final operative work. Here
every kind of .deformity resulting
from gun shot wounds are corrected
and an attempt made to build the
man SO that he will again be useful
member of society. All our patients
have been wounded eighteen to TWEEN
ty-four months before and have gone
through various kinds of treatment in
the meantime and now, when their
wounds are finally clean and healed,
the finishing reconstructive work is
done.
You, who have never seen a place
of this kind following this war have
no idea of the awful conditions the
men are in. hope to be able to
bring back some pictures and X-rays
showing these, because the conditions
are far beyond my power of descrip-
ton. I'll try to give you some idea
of the work, however. Bone grating
of all kinds is done; this of course
is the same type of work we did at
home when necessary, but nothing
so extensive. Whole bones of an arm
and leg have been shot away These
are replaced by normal bone taken
from a sound limb and moulded into
the shape of the missing jaw bone,
leg or arm bone as the case may be.
The results from this work are very
good, even though the bone shot
away is very extensive.
The nerve work is extremely in
teresting and something you seldom
see in civil practice The big nerve
trunks to arm or leg and in many
cases in both arm and legs in same
individuals have been cut, or torn
away by pieces of she'll, leaving the
man hopeless cripple, the limbs
practically dead. After all infection
has subsidized. the nerve ends are cut
down upon, freed from the extensive
scars; the divided ends are cleaned
up and sewed together again. If so
much is torn away so that an ap-
Proclamation can not be effected, nor
NAL nerve tissue of less Importance
is taken from some other part of the
body and is grated into the gap, thus
the break is spanned. OF course it
takes a considerable time for the
nerve fbers to regenerate again, so it
is often many months before the use
less member of mans body becomes

ALLIED AIRMEN
WORRY GERMAN
HIGH COMMAND

British Air Force Headquarters
in France.-tCorrespondence of the
Associated Press. There have been
many signs recently of extreme I'M
easiness by the German high COM
mand regarding the increasing
ascendancy OF the allied airmen on
the western front. This has been
especially evident since the Ameri-
can airmen have begun to appear
in force and have proved them
selves Of the same mettle as the
British and French fiiers
1t has become a commOn-p lace
among British airmen that their
opponents will not face combat in
the air unless in strength of three
or four TO one, and German prison
ers have told of German airmen be
ing punished by their flight COM
manders for returning to their air
dromes still laden with bombs and
ammunition which they had been
ordered to drop over the British
lines. II is becoming increasingly
hard TO find a German airman over
the allied side of the lines in the
daytime. as is proved by the Ger
mans own admission that when
they do manage TO bring down an
allied machine it is almost always
over their own territory.
Perhaps the most striking evil
dence of German official anxiety re-
garding the allied superiority in the
air is to be found in the official Ger
man wireless news This. while al

ate. has of late been singularly

LAST MANS CLUB

Saltwater, Minn.-There was one
more vacant chair this year when
the ten surviving members of the
Last Mans club, formed in 1896 by
% veterans of Company B, First
Minnesota Volunteers, in the war
between the states, held its annual
reunion.
The company was one of Mime
sofas crack forces in the Civil war,
and every member of the club had
distinguished himself in battle.
Each year the survivors have met,
clasped hands and smiled at death.
Each year the empty chairs draped
in black that encircle the banquet
table have increased in number.
When the Last Mans club was
organized members purchased a
bottle of rare wine. Some day the
lone survivor of the club will enter
the banquet hall. pop the cork from
the bottle and drink a toast TO his
dead companions. Then, standing
before the row of empty chairs, he
will read and adopt a resolution de-
claring the club disbanded.

wild and full of fiction regarding
the situation in the air. In an effort
to counterfeit the depressing effect
of the real facts OF the situation,
the German wireless editors make
the widest statements, bordering
almost on humOr.
Thus a recent copy of the Ger
man wireless report says: super
iOr methods of flying and greater
skill have secured for the German
air force successes on d scale such
as were never known before The
same statement refers in glowing
terms to the reckless attacking
spirit" of the pilots of the German
chasing planes-a phrase which
provoked much merriment among
British. French and American air
men, who of late have found that
even one of the reconnaissance
machines can rely on putting to
flight any German machine which
/ is not accompanied by three or four
of its kind.
/ If Germany is really pleased
with her air record for the past few
months" remarked a British squad
ron leader to the correspondent,
( there is no reason for US to COM
plain. We ask nothing better than
that Germany should go on in hav-
ing the same kind Of success in
future months"
He took as an example the report
: for May, which lay open on his
desk This report" he explained,
deals with the British air fighting
alone, and has no reference to the
fine air work of the French, Ital-
ians and Americans. During the
month the British brought down
. 39S German machines in aerial COM
bat, and 20 by fire from the ground,
while 100 more were driven down
out of control and probably de-
stroyed. During the same period
12S British machines failed to re-
turn to their airdrOmes."

REYNOLDS BUYS
LARGE FACTORY
Purchase Plant and Equipment OF
the BrigeI 4 Hagius Com
pany OF This City.

Yesterday saw a deal consummat-
ed whereby the Reynolds Engineer
ing company, First street and Third
avenue, Moline, acquired the plant
and equipment of the Brigel & Ha-
gius Manufacturing company, Fifth
avenue and Thirty-eighth street,
Rock Island.
The Moline company also takes
over the business of its former com
petitor. The deal, which is said TO
have involved about $4,000, was
for cash, and the purchase lnclud-
ed the site, building, equipment
and material.
With the addition to its facilities,
the Reynolds Engineering company
announces an increase in its capital
stock from $25, 900 to 100000. The
new stock is not to be placed on
the market. but has been taken over
by the four original founders of the
business, John p. Reynolds, presi-
dent and financial manager; c. p.
Thomas, vice president and sales
manager; Harold Brown, treasurer
anu CIllGL. eng lilC0lr anu INNiAAiCNAA '
Tilton. secretary and production
manager.
The Reynolds company was es-
tablished a year ago in May, in East
Moline. and later removed to Mo-
line. The Brigel & Hagius business
was founded last year, too, and its
building. a brick structure 50x150
feet in size, and all of its machinery
and equipment are new. The deal
gives the Reynolds company one OF
the finest machine shop equipments
in this part of the country. The
company does a general machine
shop business, and designs and
builds special machinery, jigs, tools
and fixtures, and does manufac-
turing engineering business.
Forty men are employed in the
Moline plant. and 35 will be employ
ed in the Rock Island shop.
