3. Qormany Iins not made such a
thorough "pnclflo ponctratlon" of
Italy's financial and Industrial mar
kets as is generally reported, accord
ing to Francesco Nlttl, the former
Italian minister of agriculture, who
has contributed an article on tho sub
Jtct to tho current numbor of the
Dutch journal for economics and ge
ography. (!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.

they close them down. The French

I WAS in London during those
eventful weeks which preceded
August 1, 1914. 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!. With others In uniform I was
fcnt to base hoptals on the continent.
Wl.cn all the deeds of men arc rec
orded, woman's place in this mighty
struggle of the nations will hc writ.

of the Dames d'Fco'rc, the French say
politely. There is not a man in the
hospital except the wounded. 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. .
