' (Correspondence of The Associated Press, by courier to Holland.) The hospitals of Gleiwitz and Co3el, filled mainly with wounded from the battles before Ivangorod and Warsaw, present striking ' contrasts to those farther from the front, which are not so un attractive. Here are gathered men who were worn, haggard and suffering long be fore they were wounded. Many of them had not removed their clothing for four or five weeks, and had slept in mud and filth. Water was scarce and food scarcer. A large number lay on the fields for a day or two after being wounded before receiving medi cal attention. Followed then journeys of a day or more in jolting peasants' arts and three or four days' nerve racking riding on railway trains until the base hospitals finally were reached. Delay Remit In Infection. These delays caused at least 90 per cent of the wounds to become infected. making the problems of the surgeons more difficult. Every effort is made in the American hospitals to save as many limbs as possible, regardless of the length of time the patients must be kept. To the correspondent of The associated Press were pointed out sev eral men who, the surgeon said, could nave been discharged days before If amputation had been resorted to. But bone and skin grafting is thought to be more humane, even though it takes It is no reflection on the German sanitary arrangements that the wound ed suffer as they do. On the western front conditions are better. The wounded in France and Belgium come nacic rapidly to comfortable beds in field and base hospitals and receive ppeeay treatment which beads off in fection. The wounded who are ex peetea today or tomorrow from the oattierieios just across the Russian frontier will be in far better shape than their predecessors because they have been wounded only a few miles from good German roads and a few hours from clean hospital bed a and adequate medical care. Most ef Wounded Recover. Only a few of the wounded will die. Nearly all will recover eventually, al- "v.&i -iwwcry cannot proceed, or uruuen Dones Knit, until suppuration reaaes. Many of them will spend nrletinaa in hospitals. Some can write j.oEtcaros, read the dally war bulletins, play checkers or even shuffle about wards and corridors. Almost all can eat and the dietary prescribed for these seriously, wounded soldiers would make many an American physician sasp. Dinner today comprised for - each patient two large slices of meat, sev eral large spoonsful of cooked Bauer kraut, several potatoes and a spoon ful of gravy, all served In a large bowl. Each man gets a large loaf of rye bread daily, which he keeps be side his bed to cut from whenever he is so inclined. Food Is served in one form or another live times a day. Not all the wounded, but most of them, get this dietary, which was laid down for the American surgeons by German experts familiar with the needs of the German soldier. The Americans have been most wel come guests In Glelwiti and Cosel and their presence Is appreciated not only y the medical and army authorities, but by the civilian population.
