SAVING THE WOUNDED.

The care of the wounded has in
volved many new problems. The pro.
portion of men restored to health and
sent back to the fighting line is marvel

fashioned bullet, but a terribly Jagged
and irregular breaking down of tissue.
Much of it may be burned, with like
lihood of putrefaction In trench war
fare the soldiers have to live in such
dirty conditions that there is every
chance of infection.
The surgeons treat these wounds
very much like a cancer, in which not
merely all the injured tissue must come
out, but adjoining substance that is
under suspicion of injury Treated in
that radical way, surprising freedom
from dangerous complications is OBJ
tanned.
The recovery of the patient depends
largely upon the quickness with which
his wounds are attended to. After
treatment at the advanced dressing
station, he goes to the casualty clear
ing station, where the operation COM
monty takes place. The tendency is TO
bring this hospital closer to the front
lines. Usually now it is less than 10
miles back. This exposes it to the dan
ger of bombing by the diabolieal Huns.
But as patients are kept there only a
short time, the risk has to be taken,
and the chances of getting hit are not
large
The great bulk of the gas eases re-

as compound fracture of the thigh
proved very dangerous. Now they put

1t was rather amusing to telegraph
editors yesterday to receive despatch
from abroad telling how a daring
French aviator had dropped successful
ly from an aeroplane by using a para
chute, only to find little later that
Rodman Law had performed the feat
several times at Kelley field, San An
tonic, Texas. When he gave his last
exhibition of this kind from a height
of 5000 feet Secretary McAdoo was
one of the spectators. Evidently OBJ
servers abroad did not realize Just
what the fliers on this side are doing.

anyone came up to me and said !.

You're one of the finest pigs in these
parts. You're a great addition to the
barnyard,' I'd know it was all true.
1t would be no news to me. Still 1t

you're wrong" said Pinky Pig. 81
agree with You about it being nice to
near the truth, but I'm not at all sure
mat you're such an addition to the
parnyard. In fact, I don't think you
are. But l see what you mean, and
the point that you make.
NOW, for example, if someone came
up TO me and said:
why, Pinky Pig you're the finest
pig that ever laid my eyes upon,'
would consider it very interesting
and it would be true ard no news

Collapsed When the Hour Come for
Facing the Firing Squad

LONDON, Aug "Details of former
Gar Nicholas's execution by the Bolshc-
wiki have appeared in the Berlin Lokal
Anzieger dispatches here declared
According to this account, the former
emperor was awakened at 5 a. M and in
formed that he would be killed in four
hours. He remained calm, conferred with
priest and wrote letters, but at a. m,
the guards found him collapsed in a chair.
En- route to the place of execution, he
fell to the ground and when he arrived
at the spot where he was to die he was I'M
able to stand. He leaned weakly against
the post, the newspaper reported and
raised his hands as if about to speak, but
the rifle shots drowned his voice and he
