British Surgeons
Praise War Work of
U.S.Medical Corps
Delegates to Convention at
Chicago Tell of Work
on Battlefront

Three noted British surgeons arrived
at an Atlantic port yesterday with
praise for the skill and seif-sacrihcs
displayed by American surgeons who
have given their services to the Allies.
For nearly an hour the visiting SUR
geons talked of little else but the
splendid work Of the Americans, and
declared they had come here to give
to the medical fraternity series Of
lectures on the mistakes and the dis
coveries that had come their way in
treating the wounded from the battle
line.
The mission, which comprised Sir
James Mackenzie, Sir William Arbuth-
not Lane and Colonel Herbert A. Bruce
IS on its way 10 Chicago to represent
the British Medical Society at the
Congress Of Americal Medical Soci-
etles. which will open June 10.
Tells of American Aid
Colonel Bruce said that just before
starting for America he had a talk with
Sir Arthur Sloggett. director general
of the British Medical Service. and that
Sir Arthur asked him to tell the Amer
lean people now much he and the
bIlIiSh people Sppfeclaled the mar
vellous help the American doctors and
nurses had rendered TO the sick and
wounded of the British forces
Sir Arthur" said Colonel Bruce,
was anxious to give recognition to
the gailantry and heroism Of your
medical men and nurses, but unfortu-
nately your government prevented
such acceptance.
81 have seen many thousands Of
your troops in towns and villages and
at the front in France and they are a
magnificent looking lot of fellows To
see them assures one that they will
give good account of themselves and
take their place among the best troops
in France.
Sir James Mackenzie said: Medicine
and surgery cover such a wide and
varied field of human thought that no
man or class Of men is capable of fully
appreciating its scope. For that rea-
son we have come to you, a great and
intellectual people, who are unham-
pered by the customs and traditions
which often unconsciously lie heavily
upon us, so that we may get another
point of view from which we may ap-
proach our goal"

Believed Deraneed

No trace has yet been found of Miss
Dorothy Hemming, of 3O6 Carlton Ave-
nue., Brooklyn, who disappeared last
Saturday from St. Vincent's Retreat,
Harrison, N. Y.
Miss Hemming had been at the Re-
treat for three weeks recuperating

Miss Josephine Hemming, a teacher in
the same school. Her sister and friends
believe she is slightly deranged and
has gone to look for work in some town
near by.
Last Friday Miss Hemming was told
by her physician it probably would be
necessary for her to spend the entire

evening to the Mother Superior 81 am

Keepers in the park near the water
front and two of the men at the ferry
house say they remember seeing Miss
Hemming on Saturday morning. "She
was just walking along said the gate
keeper, "and she looked as if she was
worrying about something. She did
not cross the ferry"
The police of Rye say that they re-
member Miss Hemming, and had seen
her often near the Retreat. She had
only about SO with her, and could not
have got far, her friends say.
The girls aunt, Mrs. George Houston,
of 5l9 Eleventh Street, Brooklyn, says
her disappearance is complete mys-
terry to her family.

The success of Joseph as food ad-

famine was referred to by the Federal
Food Board yesterday in an official
statement explaining why the public

Joseph's successor, Herbert Hoover.

ment points out. 1t adds that harvest

said. We can reduce it Is per cent

IN view of the necessity for shipping
an army to France, l am sure no Amer.
lean will object.
"Germany's food situation is grow
ing worse and the Allies are steadily
returning to normal. If the present
harvest crop in America proves as rich

here should approximate the normal bv
