after the battle ceases to rage. That human
life can endure seems unbelievable but it
does; many of those poor heroes are picked
up alive; and then comes the battle with the
germs.
During the early part of the war the
efforts to combat malignant suppuration were
traglcally ineffective. But with this gigantic
demand upon them surgeons set themselves
to work AS they never had in the practice Of
civil life. Professor Rutherford Morrison per-
fected Il method of filling wounds with a
paste which required no change for days, and
by preventing movement gave the lacerated
portions time to heal Colonel Grey used salt
packs. But still the number Of amputations,
the slow healing, the many deaths, were
heartrendng and frightening. SO many
wounds would not heal by first intention.
There were so many secondary nemorrnages
due to infection that in hospitals it was a
common sight to behold tourniquets beside
the beds OF the wounded, ready for the sud-
den flow of blood. Well. Carrel saw, and with
the dream Of an antseptic which should
chemically destroy the bacteria without de-
stroying healthy tissues he and Dakn set
to work. They experimental with more than

they have been forced to cut Deuteronomy
to pieces and paste it somewhere in the
back of the Old Testament Daniel is an
other embarrassment, to be treated like
wise Christ quoted from Daniel. If Deu-
tercnomy, Daniel and other prophetic books
of the Old Testament, on which Christ set
His seal of authority, are forgeries, as the
German critics say, what becomes of faith
in any of Christs words? He said: "Search
the Scriptures for in them We think We
have eternal life, and they are they which
testify of me-" That is why the modern
German attack on the authority of the Old
Testament saps the foundations of the
New. When faith in the Old is gone, logi-
cally faith in the New must go too. Nothing
is left but pretty sentiment, the heritage
from past Christian Influences Sentiment
iS poor stuff to withstand the 'world, tho

corded on monuments and tablets facts
that amazingly corroborate Old Testament
history Needless to say, this inconvenient
school of scientific investigation is not pop-

theologians have removed from the Book OF

indicate that there was feeling there that
the actual assistance given was not as great
as the Importance of the Italian effort war
ranted
"ltaly had at her command a surprisingly
small number of ships constructed for the
petroleum trade. Of the worlds oil carving
tonnage (gross) only about per cent was
flying the Italian flag. This statement is
based on reports made public by Lloyd's Reg.
ister. If she was forced to rely entirely
upon these few tankers it is difficult to
avoid the conclusion that Italy's supply of
petroleum dangerously low.
"From the beginning Of the war all of our
European allies have been handicapped by
their inability to obtain all of the petroleum
products needed. This has been due not to a
shortage of such products in this country,
but to lack of transportation facilities. At
the outbreak Of hOstilitics the aggregate tom
mage Of oil tankers was not great, and nu-
merous ships of this type have been made
targets for German torpedoes. While the
undersea branch of the enemy's navy has
been doing all in its power to destroy the
oil carrying vessels that were plying the
seas, shpbuilders have been rushing con-
struction work. Numerous tankers have been
launched and many others are in process of
building, and the available tonnage soon
should be adequate for all essential purposes
"Rcgardess of what Italy's handicap may
have been in the past, it is reasonable to
suppose that in the future she will receive
her full quota Of gasoene, lubricating oils
and other petroleum products. This is one
OF the many ways in which the power of the
United States will be felt by the Kaiser"
