The recent eigantio baitle.,, as -the result of wh'rlt more wounded men than ever before have received sur- gical treatment. within a short space of time, have demonstrated the im- mense stritks made not only in sur- gery but in the methods of removing. the wounded from the battlefields and, transporting thorn to hospitals, So' effective. is the so -operation between' surgeons' and physicians at the front, and those at the hospital,; in the rear that an immensely lsrger proportion of the wounded recover than was the ease at the beginning of the war, Men whose legs er arms have been fractured by shells now are restored, to their regiments in a minimum of time, This is due mostly to the fact' that they receive prompt antiseptic., treatment and surgieal attention whieh prevents blond poisoning and the stiffening of articulation. Their recovery is rapid in the hospitals be- hind the lines, where they can be treated under comfortable conditions far from the nerve-wracking sound -f the guns. Surgery Inspires Confidence Soldiers have been inspired with confidence in the army surgceons in the great battles around Verdun and in the great German offensive w•hieh Levan n in March. Premntrress in the treatment of wounded men has been obtained by segregating them in classes accord- ing to the nature of their wounds. Thi., was not generally dote at the beginning of the war. The plan then in vogue was to erect large hospitals as near the fighting lines as possible„ say ten or twelve miles from the front, and to send all cases there for treatment. When big batt,es oceur- red these hospitals were overcrowd- ed, and owing to the delay in operat- ing there were many cases of gan- grene, tetanus and other infections that resulted fatally, The enemy did not hesitate to bombard the hospitals either with the artillery or from airplanes, Some- times a trainload of wohnded men would arrive only to find all the beds occupied, and that they must move on to another hospital. BIRDS AND THE WAR. Speed of Aeroplanes Compared With That of Feathered Flyers. The connection between the flight of a bird and the flying of an aeroplane is obvious; yet, in spite of the won- derful results obtained by birdmen— acee of the air—nature retains the ad- vantage over men in flying, •1n ordinary swallow can travel 120 miles in an hour, and there is a record of a swallow that flew from Antwerp to Compiegne, 148 miles, in sixty- eight minutes, attaining an average speer] of 128 miles an hour. The swooping vulture whizzes thrangh the air at 140 miles an hour. Perhaps a falling aeroplane, or a Hun Taube escaping from an ace, may go that rapidly, but 100 miles an hour is p good rate to travel for a birdman. However, aeroplanes are constantly being improved, and some are exceed- ingly speedy; 108 to 185 milesean hour has been claimed at the .front, but at this speed the plane is in constant danger. libels can fly for twenty-four hours at a stretch, but 8 hours flying is suf- ficient for an aviator. As yet no bird- man can cross the ocean, but cuckoos travel from England to Africa. It has been estimated that at 10,000 feet altitude kites and hawks can see field mice, their eyes being twenty times stronger than those of man. At the same height an aviator must have powerful glasses to see oven largo buildings and rivers. Birds are helping to win the war. The homing and carrier pigeons make excellent messengers on the battle- field. Birds adapt. themselves in a most remarkable manner to abnormal con- ditions and environments, and while they are naturally shy, they soon get iteetudomed to the terrible thunder of battle, A eorrespondent witnessed the fol- lowing interesting incident: ---"At six O'clock, when the sky began to lighten, it was possible to see a rolling ex- panse of grayish dead grass, the color of the, prairies after a summer drought. In the half light of the dawn we put up two coveys of par- tridges, while larks sprang up from tinder our feet, hater, when the guns were thundering and the battle raged, crows flow cawing across the sky, in- different alike to guns and awe - platten."
