Stearly All Cases of Infection Dne to
Unavoidable Delays In Convey
ing Soldiers From Battle
Ivine to Place of Care.
GLEIWITZ. Germany. Xov. 23. '
(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

their presence Is appreciated not only

ington, Dee. 12. Not only will the
battleship Oregon lead the navies of
the world through the Panama Canal
on the date of formal dedication next
February, but she will carry on her
bridge the President of the United
States.
Thus the opening of the Panama
Canal becomes a gala day for the old
warship which gained such distinction
in the Spanish War. All doubt an this
score Is cleared up by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels In his annual re
port. In a paragraph devoted to the
opening of the Panama Canal, Secre
tary Daniels says:
The great maritime powers of the
world have been Invited, and a num
ber of them have accepted the invita
tion, to participate In the exercises in
cident to the opening of the Panama
CanaL The international fleet and the
ships of our own Navy escorting It
will assemble at Hampton Roads In
February. 1915, where they will be re
viewed by the. President of the United
States. After Die review they will sail
for Crlstobalgtjhence they will proceed
to Balboa, on- the Paciac side.
The President will sail for the
canal from Hampton Roads early in
March and will reach the canal In time
to board the Oregon with a dis
tinguished party, including Captain
Clark, commander of the vessel on her
famous trip around the continent, and
that historic vessel will lead the inter
national fleet through the canal. Presi
dent Wilson will exchange visits with
the President of the Republic of Pana
ma, after which he will sail for Cali
fornia at the head of the fleet."

MILITIA SEfcTK PANAMA TRIP
To Bring Battleship Oregon to Rose
Festival Also Campaign Aim.
If a campaign that has been started
by the officials and members of the
Oregon Naval Militia is successful, the
Militia will take part in the formal
opening of the Panama Canal and the
Battleship Oregon, In addition to lead
ing the fleet through the canal, will
be brought to Portland after the trip
for a visit. Letters have been sent
out by J. Fred Larson, Lieutenant-Commander
of the militia, asking clubs and
commercial organizations to assist In
the campaign.
It Is the desire of the militia offi
cials to have Congress appropriate
money to send the militia to the canal,
where it can go aboard one of the
battleships and pass through the
canal as a part of the personnel of
the fleet. The parade will be headed
by the Battleship Oregon which will
proceed from the Pacific side of the
canal directly to San Diego and to San
Francisco. From there, the militiamen
want it taken up the coast to Portland
to participate in the Rose Festival if
possible or a least to pass several
weeks in the Portland harbor.

GET RID OF HUMORS
AND AVOID DISEASE
Humors in the blood cause Internal
derangements that affect the whole
system, as well as pimples, bolls and
other eruptions. They affect all the
organs and functions, membranes and
tissues, and are directly responsible
for the readiness with which some peo
ple contract disease.
For forty years Hood's Sarsaparllla
has been more successful than nv
other medicine In expelling humors and
removing their . Inward and outward
effects. It is 'distinguished for lt
