However good the general spirit in | the Gelman army, Gérman deserters | have been slipping over the Dutch! border, especially that adjoining Bel- glum, every now and then ever sincé the first two or three months of war; and, although many of them either! manage to get hold of civilian clothes! beforehand or secure them on this side of the frontier, in which case | they usually escape arrest, there are | ut present between thirty and forty German deserters actually interned! in this country, a number of whom have been in that position for many months, During the great Ypres offensive of the Germans in an early stage of the war, when their losses were so heavy, the number of dgherters vas reported to be very considerable Since then such arrivals have been less frequent, but they still continue. The causes that lead to desertion are many and varied. In one case the horror of the trench warfare and] slaughter so grips a man that he takes the desperate step Perhaps a regiment sent back for rest and re- caperation after such an experience receives the order to return to the fighting Hne, and for some of the men 'suffering from the moral and] physical strain the prospect proves | too much; they grasp at an opporta:| nity of escape. In another instance the deserter attributes his act to bad Areatmant ma: pare: of thesbfficers, the sort of thing to which German | Socialist deputies have recently been| drawing attention. One deserter! haw' related that he was one of a fam- ily or five brothers, of whom all but | he had been killed or wounded, and,{ Pon, show they were really deserters' would not be delivered up with the others when peace came, MARVELLOUS INVENTION TO REPAIR THE WASTES MADE BY WAR. ! An Artificial Hand Shown At Zurich Which is Able To Grasp Objects And Lift Weights Up To Twenty- Two Ponnds, Berlin, Feb. 11 ~At the conven- 4ion of the German Orthopedic Socie- yy. which is pow in session here, 1any inventions of methods for re pairing the wastes of war have been exhibited or discussed Dr. Ferdinand Sauerbruch, profes sor of surgery at Zurich University, showed the delegates an artificial | hand which was able to grasp objects of all forms and to life weig} up to twenty-two pounds. An entire,s nov- el feature of the hand is that it and the fingers are controlled by-muscul- ar action in the upper arm, which is prepared for such work by two op erations. The muscular power after wards is transmitted . to the hand through a system of wires and pul leys, to which all the fingers respond Dr. Karl Ludloff, professor of surgery at Breslau University, de- scribed a method for uniting severed | nerves and reviving the musculaf ac- tion of nerveless limbs. Dr. Ludiloff pointed cut that the natural tendency of severed ends of nerves to reunite is hindered by the fact that the cica- trized new flesh between them is im- pervious to growing nerve fibres, Prof. Ludloff says he restores the tissues with a piece of an artery of an ox filled with gelatine, through which nerves readily grow, even! bridging gaps of several inches In several weeks crippled limbs regain their motor activity. The professor | said that many cases already had | been' successfully treated where per manent lameness would have other- | wise followed. { Prof. Hoerstmann 'of Koenigsbérg | University described a method for ! treating joints jeft stiff after wounds ren Even Hospital Treatment ~ for Kidney Disease Failed Well-known Commercial Traveller Says That Dr. Chase's Kidney Liver Pills Undoubtedly Cured Him. - News of his recovery from kidney took doctor's medicine to no avail, ! disease Will pe welcomed by the many friends of Mr. L.
