was calmly announced today at q
regular session of the French acad-
emy of medicine.
Under a remarkably simple opera
ton, reported by Doctor Ameulle,
quantities Of blood-from a half pint
to p1nt-may be drawn from a
healthy subject without the waste of
a drop and without pain. The liquid
is then chemically treated to prevent
coagulation. bottled under proper
temperature and saved until 1t is
needed for injection into the veins
Of sick or wounded patient.
The new process is simplicity It.
self. A small hypodermic needle is
inserted into surface vein. The
blood is slowly drawn into solution
of citrate Of soda. When the sur
geons are ready to inject into the
veins of another patient, the opera
tion is reversed.
Pain in either process amounts to
no more than a pin prick.
The old system of blood transfu-
sion was both elaborate and danger
Gus. The arm of the person giving
the blood was strapped to the arm Of
the i'll or wounded patient Liberal
incisions were made in the arms OF
both and the veins were drawn to the
surface and spliced. Then the slow
TRANSMISSION began. Those who volun-
teered their blood were often given
to understand that perhaps they were
volunteering their life as well.

FRANCE, Mar. S.-The Germans ar
strafing American troops who nav
heen switched from the American
front to a sector near the sWls'
border.
A heavy artillery demonstration
by the Boches has been going On iol
three days, reaching the crest or It's
violence today and tonight.
| The American troops morale Is tne
best despite the bombardment.
| UPWARDS of thirty men this after
noon were sheltered in dugout up
on which big shell made a square
hit. They hurried from this dugoul
to another. but the latter was alse
demolished.
The shelling of the Americans po
sitions continued throughout tne
day. Relief troops were unable u
reach the front line trenches. =.
| Two men of the signal corps dis
ltinguished themselves by maintain
ing communication despite the heav.
shell fire. Telephone wires were
repeatedly broken, but they continued
! to work. Pieces Of shell cut the
wire from the hands OF one of the
men. When the shelling finally
ceased. they had their repairs com
pleted.
The artillerying on this front was
three or four times as heavy as tnat
on the American sector during the
hottest periods there.
Troops training here relieved a
crack French corps. The Boches De-
gan strafinr the Americans as soon
as they were certain the Sammies
were in this sector. The violence o.
their artillery attack is increasing
constantly
The Americans in this sector are
Handicapped in the air. the same as
on the American sector. There are
no American airplanes here. In some
places the American trenches nave
been levelled by the Boche fire.
The French report on activities IN
this region includes the statement
that the actions of the Americans
leave nothing to doubt their valor and
steadfastness.
In a patrol encounter on the Chemin
Des Danes sector, there was one
known German casualty and PROBABLY
others. The Americans suffered no
losses.

confidential reports received by Am
