a greater favorite with children than

number of surgical operations OF the

cal Society.
Prof. Friedrich BrueninS Of tho
University Hospital presented man

atrophy OF the large intestine which,
with exceptional daring. the surgeon
had removed in its entirety.
a surgical cure Cf certain eases of
pulmonary tuberculosis was demon
strated by Prof. Dnenner, visiting
surgeon TO the Moabit Hospital. Prof,
Duenner described how. according 10
the method advocated by StGertz ot
Cologne, he had drawn up the tenth,
or Vagus nerve behind the collar bone,
whereupon paralysis of that norton
of the diaphragm supplied by this
nerve resulted, which then led up to n
contract OF the lungs upward and
an ultimate Cicatrization of the dis
eased lung tissue.
Two successful operations for the
removal OF emboli, or blood clots, from
the pulmonary vein were demonstrate
ed by Prof. A. w. Never, visiting sur.
geon to the Western Hospital. The op-
Grafton, which was performed on
woman on the point of death and
which was unanimously acclaimed by
the society as one of the greatest ac-
complishments in modern surgery,
consisted in the evening of the chest
cavity by the excision of several ribs.
The pulmonary vein was then caught
and incised and, after the removal of
the blood clot with forceps, sutured.

such a move would be unwise, in addi
ton to the menace of interference with
executive authority in the manage
ment of the personnel affairs or the
military establishment. :.
The serious part of the situation, 1t
has been suggested, is that there may
be some legislation limiting the tour
of duty of chiefs of branches. In
former times such a proposition has
been vigorously opposed by the war
Department as unwise, in addition 10
the menace of interference with eXecu.
tive authority in the management OF
personnel affairs of the War Depart
ment. There are no indications at the
nresent time from departmental
sources of information of such a
recommendation coming from the
Secretary of War in his program OF
Army legislation to be presented to
the Seventeen Congress, meeting IN
December.
1t is felt in certain quarters that
If the limitation upon the tour oil
duty of chiefs of Army branches
gains support i'm Congress, there is
n grave prospect that 1t might be
made applicable to general of1cers
without regard to their assignment
to duty as chiefs of branches. Those
holding this view point out that IL
there is merit in this policy with re-
spect to the chiefs of branches, there
is equal reaeson to install the brlga.

original rank of colonel, from which
the officer is advanced, after serv-
ing a single term In the higher grade,
II is most improbable, however, that
the limitation of the tours of duty
of the chief Of branches will be eX-
tended to the other general officers
of the Army. No doubt the subject OF
appointing chiefs of branches to a
third term will be the cause of con-
sid. rable discussion. There is every
likelihood that the question of limit
ing the tour of duty of chiefs or
branches to one term of four years
will be threshed out at the approach
ing session Of Congress, question III
which every officer in the Regular
Army will be extremely interested.
AS a result of the present shortage
of airplanes and the increased train
ing activities required by the flve-
wear expansion program of the Army
Air Corps, the War Department has
found 1t necessary to withdraw a
number of planes from certain sta
tions and concentrate them at the Air
Corps flying schools for training pur-
poses. Mai. Gen. Mason M. Patrick.

detailed distribution of the various

being taken by the Air Corps to ef-
ont frnm
certain stations to other stations in
accordance with this approved dis
tribution chart. 1t is realized in the
War Department that the approval
of this chart will result in shortages
of equipment at a number of the
stations. This condition unfortu-
nateIy cannot be corrected in the
near future, and the stations from
which airplanes have been withdrawn
will necessarily be curtailed in their
flying training activities.
