THE SPlMNQFlfcLD NEJVS
WAR SURGEONS
WORK MIRACLES
Incredible Feats Performed Every
Day In Treating Soldiers
on Battlefield.
NINE-TENTHS PULL THROUGH
Percentage of Losses Among the
Wounded Striking Tribute to the
Skill of Surueone Speed
Important Factor.
French 1'ront. Almost IncrcUldlo
fonts haVd boon hnd nro being accom
plished every dny Of the wnr by tho
surgeonx who trout soldier wounded
on tlio battlefield. TIio.ho remarkable
feat linvu Increased In frequency, ns
tho stricken men nro more quickly
gathered In liy the ambulance nnd
brought to tho field hospitals for surgi
cal Intervention.
At thn beginning of the war It was
not always possible to clear up a bat
tlefield of tho casualties In less than
three or four day, and on many occa
sion!) wounded men watted even Ionic?
or before their Injuries could bo han
dled. Tho result of thin wan that large
numbers of the wounded succumbed
from gangrene or blood poisoning, or
were) rendered, so 'feeble from loss of
blood thnf theywcro tumble to under
go operation thnt were vitally neces
sary. It wn nt thnt time" regarded
na a satisfactory result when 00 per
cent of tho wounded brought Into tho
hospitals recovered ovcntunlly from ,
the Injuries.
Nine-Tenths Are Saved.
This percentage of losses umong
thu wounded men would nt present
be regarded with horror by the mili
tary surgeons, who now reckon with
perfect ttKsurnuce on saving iibout
nine-tenths of the wounded men com
ing under their trentment. During
tho battle of Plunders tho percentnge
of. recoveries among wounded men
brought to thu hospitals amounted
to 80.
This striking tlgure wiih still fur
ther Improved on the occasion of the
recent battle In which the. French
wrested from the Germans thu fort
of Malmnlsnn nnd caused them to
evacuate (he Cliemin ties Dames after
throwing awuy hundreds of thou
sands of the crown prince's best
troops In the effort to ..lain It. The
Trench surgeons' reports nfter the
conclusion of the lighting and the
treatment of nil the wounded show
thnt 00 men out of every 100 brought
to the hospital recovered from their
hurts.
Speed Important Factor.
ipced In collecting tho wounded Is
the greatest factor In bringing about
this progress.
Americans have had much to do
with , tho speeding up of the nmhu
lonco service, for their ambulances
bavo been present nt overy point
where fighting has been severe, nnd
their work has been highly praised
by tho army enmmnndcrs. Americans
hnvu douu much In providing hospital
accommodation near the front as well
as at tho bases.
Ono Instnnco of American effort In
providing for tho accommodation nnd
treatment of the wounded Is thnt
under tho management of Miss Kath
leen Park of New York, nt her cha
teau of Anncl. There she hns worked
almost since the very beginning of
tho wnr. When tho battle for the
fort of iYalmalsoii' was la progress
tho hospital dealt with n considerable
number of wounded, who were ilrst
hnndnged on tho battlefield nnd then
brought down the Itlver Alsno on
board n barge fitted up as a floating
hospital.
JllRs Park hns working with her In
conjunction with tho French military
surgeons n number-of American phy
sicians, who nil participated In the
handling of tho French wounded dur
ing the battle of Mnlinnlson. AIho,
she 1ms with her soveral Amerlcun
trained nurses nnd helperM.
Among tlio doctors Is Georgo do
