He said: "Grafting of the tissue of the bone and flesh hitherto has been next to impossible, owing to the difficulty of | transferring the wounded from the field to the hospital before gangrene or infection have set in. "Phe American ambulance, how- has demonstrated the possi- with an efficient transport de- of getting the wounded the battlefield to the | hospital within ten hours. Hereto- fore the average time has been twenty-four hours, which entailed much loss of life and many otherwise needless amputations. "The French Army Medical Ser- vice frankly recognizes the splendid methods of the American hospital, and has decided to speed up its tran- sport everywhere and generalize the use of the Daken solution for the washing of suppurating wounds, thus | rendering possible a vast campaign of grafting which will result in en- ormous progress in that branch of surgery." | bility, partment, soldier from | 1 if] * rst tat et iat * +e * % GREAT TRIUMPH OF + BRITISH 2 AIR SERVICE, : Lotidon, Oct In his'gum- mary of the Somme operations, Gen.

BOLD MOVE OF RUMANIA BY CROSSING DANUBE AND IN- VADING BULGARIA. | This Is the First of the Big Develop- ments in the Balkans--Others Are to Follow Quickly. London, Oect, 5. --The surrise sprung upon Bulgaria and her Teu- tonic allies by the Rumanian cross- ing of the Danube between Rustchuk and Turtukai is hailed here as a stroke of such daring character that it would not have been attempted except in strong force. It is re- garded as a distinet threat to Mac- kemsen's communications through the difficult Dobrudja swamps, where there are no railroads and few roads, and if, as is believed here, the Ru- manian invasion of Bulgaria is in strength, and if it is pushed success- fully, the famous German '"'thruster" will be forced to make an extremely difficult retirement or sacrifice the bulk of his army. Mackensen"s advance In Dobrudja, which the Kaiser hailed as a decisive triumph, is already * described by some experts here as a pyrrhic tri- umph. He failed to gain the rail- vay bridge that spans the Danube at Cernavoda -before the relatively slow concentration of the Russian forces for the assistance of the Ru- manians in this district. was com- pleted, and when it was completed Mackensen was driven ten miles] south. { No doubt is expressed preparations have been going on for| an offensive move against Mackensen by the Russian and Rumanian forces which have held the Danube bridge- head during the recent period of ap- parent stagnation. It takes time to assenible an army which depegids for its transportation on a bridge carry- ing a single line of railroad. Equal- ly, no doubt is entertained that the Rumanian crossing of the Danube between' Rustchuk . and Turtakal was timed to coincide with an of- fensive movement 'by the Russians lon the Dobrudja front.

Basile Zetton, the new chief of the Rumanian gefheral headquarters staff, has now begun, has been collaborated in perfect agreement with the headquarters staff of the Allies. Athens reports suggest that once ithe danger of a stab in the back is | removed Gen. Sarrail will be free to move. The so-called mystery of Sar- i rail's long inactivity has been a pro- lific source of rumors, which have {found some space in the American papers. Sarrail's position is lucidly 'explained in a Salonika despatch to | the Manchester Guardian.

Such a forcé must be dis- tributed in sections, each holding a , certain. part -of the. Jine. They can- not be mixed without reviving Babel, | and the confusion of tongues. The disembarking of an army of hun- dreds of thousands of men, hundreds of miles from their base, was a long and difficult matter. It meant an ac- cumulation of hundreds of thous- ands of tons of food, munitions and | war stores of every kind. No ad- | vance was possible until the base had been prepared for all emerg- encies. The fighting line had to be arranged with the arrival of each contingent, so that the latter would be placed with its proper unit. cedent is the { tion: to China Is Ready to Move. Sarrail was also confrodted with problems of a political character. He 'was justified in regarding the Greek army with the gravest dis- trust. The military operations had to be subordinated to the political situation, and await its settlement. Meanwhile hundreds of miles of new roads have been built in Mace- donia, a country almost without roads, where it would have been im- possible to manoeuvre an immense army and keep it supplied with food and munitions with the prev- fously existing means of communi- cation. All the country between Sa- lonika and the fighting line is dotted with camps and supply depots of every kind. Light railways have constructed and everything done to assure--smooth working of the immense machine. When Sar- rail gives the word it will move for- ward with § di force.

London, Oct. 6.--Great Britain is in urgent need of men for her armies, and also for her munitions factories, A statement to this ef- fect was given out yesterday by the Man' Power Distribution Board, re- cently appointed to comb out men eligible for military service in the United Kingdom who have not yet been enrolléd in the army. mined officials of the Admiralty, War Office, Ministry of Munitions, other departments, and that there was urgent need -for fresh supplies of men for the armies and munition factories, in order '"'to maintain our forces in the field at the numbers al- ready fixed for them, and at the same time maintain the supply of fhun- itions essential for their equipment and proper utilization." ust Release Many Men. he board, Ameretore, directed that no exemption be granted certain classes heretofore exempt, and that there be a more general dilution of skilled labor in munition factories with women and other workers here- tofore untrained. It suggested con- ferences of employers and employees with a view to freeing skilled labor now engaged in private work for efh- ployment in munitions plants. "It is essential," the board said, "that a large part of the iabor now sugaged in private work shall be diverted to Government ordéts or rel d for the army." The board also passed under con- sideration the extended use of wo- men and men over the military age and also the release of men of mili tary age now employed in Govern- ment offices. This is the only means, the board says, whereby extension of the age for compulsory service can be avoided. No official figures have as yet been announced as to the men serving with the British army on May 26th. ing George, in signing the Military Service bill, placed the number rais- ed up to that time at 5,041,000.
