A famous surgeon at the battle front
has said that the hardest thing physi-
elan has to do Is to wash his hands.
Foul hands mean the injection or the
wound from the surgeons Instruments
and fingers. First the doctors tried soup
and water. but they failed Finally they
developed antdseptics in which TO bathe
thnir hands and rubber gloves. The am
hulance men at the front sometimes use
r-asoline: nurses use listerine. bcnEol.
and tho new Dalsan washeS providing
the hands arc absolutely clean and the
wound sterTtzed. there is almost no cash
that will not heal in the young soldier.
Therefore. this surgeon Gays that ms
most difficult task Is 10 teach nurses
and tho assistant surgeons the science
Of washing the hands
Just now the kaiser il in a state or
terror, and Bettrmann Hollwcg also IN
agony In trying TO master the science OIL

mood of Cain and Macbeth. The kalscrs
letter to Franz JOSEPH has heen re-
covered and presented to the conference
by the French government: Il must cut
the threats Of men. women and children
and the aged alike" to win the war
quickly. Not less bloodthirsty the letter
of Bethmann Hollweg. Today both men
are In a state OF misunderstanding terror
