FINAL SESSIONS
MEDICAL MEN
SAN FRANCISCO. June 25—The
material which the European war Ir
furnishing for an Important chapter In
military surgery, was the keynote of
the Symposium on Military Surgery
which occupied the attention of the
Section on Surgery of the American
Medical Association today.
Dr. W. E. Drennen of Birmingham,
Ala., related his experiences during
a recent service of several months in
one of the large military base hospitals
In Paris. Roentgen-ray photographs
Illustrating the types of fracture and
the different Htages of healing, were
shown.
Surgeon F. E. McCullough of the
United States Navy described the
surgery of modern naval warfare. He
showed that proper care of those in
jured in modern naval warfare could
only be secured by making careful
preparation during times of peace, by
anticipating every emergency before
battle and by caring for the wounded
during and after naval battles.
Major A. W. Williams of the Medi
cal Corps of the United States Army,
In a paper on Surgery on the Battle
field, emphasized the difficulties en
countered In caring for the wounded
In the present European war on ac
count of the amount of trench fighting
going on.
Owing to the massing of large
bodies of men in the trenches, and
the lack of bathing facilities and clean
clothing, many severe cases of Infec
tion have developed among the
wounded. In Belgium, especially,
where the trenches have been dug In
a soil that has for generations been
heavily manured for market garden
ing, the percentage of infection is very
high. In comparison with other wars,
there is also a much higher proportion
of shell and shrapnel wounds, due to
the Increased use of artillery.
A new type of wound is that pro
duced by the darts dropped from aero
planes In bunches of 500 or more,
which fall on the enemy like hall, pro
ducing wounds like bullets. Major
Williams stated that his experience as
a field surgeon showed that by the
use of iodine, the skin could be
quickly sterilized and surgical work
done In the field as safely as In the
elaborate operating rooms In city
hospitals.

TURKISH SNIPERS
T
OFFICERS
ATHENS, June 25.—A great propor
tion of officer losses to the French
and English forces in the Dardanelles
are due to the activity of the Turkish
Hnipers, who have special Instructions
to pick out the officers. A corres
pondent with the French force writes:
"The danger to officers in this part
of the peninsula from snipers is very
great. Parties of ten or twenty Turk
ish sharpshooters crawl past our lines
at night and either hide in a tree or
get into an abandoned trench or
shell hole. There they lie concealed
from view, waiting for an opportunity
to snipe at some isolated officer pass
ing within range of their rifle. They
are instructed to disregard firing upon
private tfddiers if it involves any dan
j ger to themselves, but to miss no
chance to bring down an officer.
"In many cases the sniper’s eager
nes for this duty is assisted by stories
of the huge loot to be obtained from
the pockets of the officers. Some of
the snipers who have been caught
were found with large sums of British
and French money, as well as other
property belonging to officers."

WOMEN FARMERS
MEET SUCCESS
IN FRANCE
PARIS, June 26—The success with
which women have contended with the
difficulties of farming Is Indicated by
a report from the department of
Meurthe and Moselle. Of the six
hundred communes comprising this
department, 316 were taken by the
Germans and 171 of them are Btlll oc
cupied or are bo close to the fighting
line that the Inhabitants have been
unable to return. In the balance of
the department women replacing men
have succeeded In sowing the full
acreage of oats and wheat In the com
munes that were not affected and 70
per cent of the acreage of the com
munes that were devastated and have
since been liberated. There was not
only a lack of male help In this work
but It was seriously compromised by
lack of horses. To facilitate the work
the government advanced the sums
necessary for the seed and agricul
tural Implements on anticipated In
demnities.
The creaking, lumbering two-wheel
ed carts loaded with carrots, turnips,
cabbage, onions and other vegetables,
driven by men In capes resembling the
Alpine Chasseur's "beret,” that were
were to be encountered in the streets
of Paris before the war, are now
driven by women. It Ib due almost
entirely to them that Paris Is not de
prived of the famous cauliflower
from Chambourcy. the celebrated
white turnips of Crolssy-sur-Selne, the
carrots of Monteson and the delicious
green peas of Claraart, as well as the
luxurious asparagus of Argenteull.
LITTLEAFFECTS
LONDON, June 25.—No department
of state has such an elastic organiza
tion ns the British Admiralty, which
did not even feel the recent cabinet
change. For this result It can thank
Winston Churchill, since it was he
who Introudced the Naval War Staff
feature, which stands behind the
First Sea Lord. The staff Is the Ad
miralty's thinking machine, and pro
vides ideas and information for who
ever may be in charge at the time. It
was created three years ago.
No executive power Is allowed the
wur staff, which is purely advisory.
The subjects dealt with cover naval
operations, intelligence and mobiliza
tion. The head of the staff, obviously
should be a student of naval warfare
and an authority on questions of
strategy. He is empowered to sit with
the First Iaml of the Admiralty and
the First Sea Lord at the meetings of
the Imperial Defense Committee.
When first organized, Churchill
foresaw It would suffer from a lack
of officers trained for staff duties. This
lack was supplied by giving the most
brilliant of the young officers a spe
cial course of trulnlng at the Navul
War College. Admiral Sir Henry
Jackson, who, ns precldent of the col
lege, put the scheme Into operation,
was later called to the post of Chief
of the War Staff. Although his place
was later taken by Admiral Sir Dove
ton Sturdee, he remains at the Admir
alty on special service.

WAR WILL IKE
LARGE NUMBER
I,ONDON, June 25.—Sir James
Crlchton-Hrowne, who stands In the
forefront of English authorities on
mental and nervous diseases, says that
one of the saddest results of the war
will be a great Increase In the number
of lunatics.
Addressing the annaul meeting of
the Asylums Workers' Association, he
said: “Much of the aftermath of war
will find its way into asylums. The
enormous number of crnnlal injuries
will undoubtedly lead to much mental
Impairment. The lnrge number of
cases of shock to the nerves and over
strain will cause much neurasthenia
and other disorders. There has been
throughout the whole country Im
measurable sorrow and bereavement
which In many cases will deepen Into
morbid melancholy."
