(!orniany, ho says, has only placed capital amounting in the aggregate- to $8, 000, 000 into Italian enterprises, Thoro aro but few pure ly German companies of importance In Italy, hesays, but; on tho other hand, numorous Germans hnvo act ively participated In tlio working or Italian companies without putting any money Into tliom. Ilovonuo statistics Indicate that last year tho total of tnxed foreign capital In Italy was approximately $J00,00O,000, or which roughly $G0, 000,000 was French nnil llelglnn, $22,000,000 Drltlsh and only ?&, 000,000 Gorman, moro than half of which lattor sum Is represented by two most prominent German steam ship lines. What there Is of "Gor man ponctratlon" snyu Slgnor Nlttl, Is chiefly represented by Individual Germans who net, or havo acted as managers of Italian banks nnd a? agents of French, Rolglau nnd Drltlsh trading corporations. The. Italian authority further re marks with disappointment that Amcrcan capital holds aloof from Itnllan financial undertakings "which Is tho moro regrettable since America Is tho only country which tho Italians need not suspect of ul terior motives" and ho adds that tho great volume of Italian oxporta and labor to tho United States would scorn to Justify the expectation that Ameri cans would show moro intorcst In Italian finances.

For the time bc!nft the wounded forgot their hurts and the well forgot the terrors of the raging conllict. They thought only of the drama on the screen before them. It was amazing. A long strip of celluloid in a little round tin box nursed a thousand men back to health. Did I then do wrong to desert my post when the chance came to ap pear before the motion picture camera? I think not. To those soldiers my first photoplay will be shown as soon as it is completed, and I know that in a round tin hox I will tlo more good than ever I could in nurse's uniform. the face of real peril, prepared them selves for the mighty test of courage and strength. I have come to think of war in double image the men at the front, the women at Home.

The beds are under, great tents in the park, well sheltered and it goes without saying well aired. The counter-panes are pink that is the wo man of it. When the sun shines, the nurses lift tip the tent flaps and let the sqldicrs profit, and when the rain falls, they close them down. The French wounded are jealous to be cared for in this hospital.

That seems ages ago! What excitement it was as the penny'papers screeched the headlines through tiie streets, "It can't be," some person observed, "that civilized Europe is about to plunge itself into warl" Others said, "Tho inevitable has cjome." The latter were right. Thep came an interval when the Brit ish capital was wild with excitement. Belgium's neutrality had been violated, and in succession tne great countries of Furope plunged themselves into war, so swiftlv as to stagger the imagination Men flew tc arms , women, ever calm in fur!.

Doctors and surgeons, nurses and stretcher bear ers, and those women chauffeurs, who go to the clearing hospitals at the front and bring back the wounded all are women I THIS hospital is in the midst of a green park, and is "self-con-, tained," as they say. There arc six women doctors, besides women surgeons and women at the phar macy The nurses wear a little blue cap and look very comforting n at all like the traditional costumes of also stricter. I can tell you that disci pline is serious here. They have shown us ithcy can be good doctors, but they are good viitifarts, too." Another said, 'Vp niul llinv won't let vou Illav with your health. If oti stay with your feet in the grass when it is ilamp, tncy are regular gendarmes, I assure you. They arc all real mothers, but they want to have well-behaved children." The French wounded laugh more fre quently and there is more cheer in their hospitals than in any others on the line of relief. In the course of my experience m war l'nsmtals on the continent I have seen iv.ondertul things. Frequently . am ask etl as to the manner In which the" expert ; surgeons locate bullets that have struck these poor fellows. Ingenious ways of finding bullets and pieces of shrapnel i are resorted to by French surgeons with 1 the aid of powerful electro-magnets, but the Sutton method, of American origin, is becoming universally used. Another American whose name will be writ large in the medical history of the war is Dr. Kenneth Taylor, who discovered the antidote for gas gan grcen. When it was not yet -known whether his experiments were successful or not, an unknown American girl a nurse at the front Inoculated herself with the deadly poison, though no one knew of her heroic deed till later. Tho antidote worked and she was saved.'but her act deserves menjon as one of the bravest of all time. IN removing bullets by the Sutton method, the wounded man is placed on a table, beneath which is an X-ray machine, and over is placed the tube of light used in the photographing process. The bullet then is shown on the plate, which is placed beneath the pa tient. The X-ray has demonstrated that, like nearly everything else in France, It is "somewhere near a certain locality.' But how deep? The tube then Is placed at another angle. The shadows nro made to cross and the bullet Is again detected. To find how far to probe the surgeon resorts to mathematics and works out his calculations by the simple principles of triangulation. The surgeon thrusts a hollow, needle like device into the body, finds the bul let, and puts a piece of slightly barbed piano wire down to hold to the tissue around the bullet. Then the patient is Wheeled to the operating room', where, the work of removing the bullet Is quickly accomplished. I have known of cases where triangulation has been dono within five minutes. It is the bravery of these poor men, however, that wrings anguish from the heart. No complaints, no bitter words against their cause which led them to sacrifice. Shattered limbs, serious flesh wounds, blindness, deafness from the great detonations but no wqrd of com plaint. Man Is a queer creature who quickly adapts himself to conditions. The quick ness with which war was grasped mvant also that human understood as ttlcklv war's by-products, and pain .and doath and suffering and poverty are some of them. And that is why it Is so difficult for one who has been in the midst to obtain n perspective. The most horrible tilings become commonplace, always so 'to remain. . i SAT " I 4- ' . 1 1 ; I 1 !
