NINE-TENTHS PULL THROUGH Percentage of Lo3scs Among the j Wounded Striking Tribute to the Skill of Surgeons Speed ;! ' Important Factor. - French Front. Almost Incredible feats hnvo been nntl lire being urrom pllshed every day if the war by tbtf surgeons who treat soldiers wounded on the battlefield.

' At the beginning of the war.lt was not always possible to clear up n bat tlefield of the casualties In less than threo or four days, and on many occa sions wounded men waited even long er before their Injuries could be ban ;lii. tf. The result of this was that large nYimbcrs of the wounded succumbed ironi gangrene or blood poisoning, or ,v,cre rendered so feeble from loss of Blood that they were unable to undur- go. operations that were vitally nrces :sary. 'It was at that Hum regarded H a satisfactory result when 00 per cent of the wounded brought Into the liospltnls recovered eventually from the Injuries. ' -r Nine-Tenths Are Saved. ft iiu percentage or losses among tjie- wounded men would at present be regarded with horror by the mili tary surgeons, . who now reckon with perfect assurance on saving about nine-tenths of the wounded men enm huj under their treatment, During the battle of Flanders the percentage of .recoveries mining wounded men brought to the hospitals amounted to-80. V This striking figure was still fur 'Hier Improved on the occasion of the recent battle In which the French wrested from the Germans the' fort of Mnlmnlsnn and caused them to tvacuate the Chemln des Dames after throwing away hundreds of thou sands of the crown . prince's best troops In the effort to retain It. The French surgeons' reports after tho conclusion of the lighting and (he treatment of all the wounded show tint 00 men nut of every 100 brought to the hospital recovered from their hurts.
