SHOW PURPOSES | Americans to Be Taught Pro- cedure in Model Plant New York, July 16.—America’s first war demonstration hospital, . where army and Red Cross surgeons are to be | taught the most advanced discoveries ished. It was inspected informally i Yesterday. The fifteen long, narrow, single story, unpainted wooden buildings clustered unostentatiously at the foot of the lofty and imposing Rockefeller Institute in the lower terrace of the grounds at Sixty-fcurth street and Avenue A looked like so many labor- er’s huts, but their importance to America and her soldier representa- i tives who will carry to France this na- tion’s fight for her ideals cannot be- gin to be measured by their size or modest appearance. For back of the rough structures stands Dr. Alexis Carrel the surgical wizard whose gen- | ius the war has but served to empha- gize, and back of him stand the Rockefeller Institute and the millions of the foundation. To almost the last detail the build- ings are reproductions of those com- prising the great English base hospital at Etaples, France, with the exception that certain changes in building plans to harmonize with American lumber and material specifications were neces- sary. Instead of holding 500 beds as the Etaples Hospital does, this war demonstration hospital has only two wards of twenty-four beds each. Dr. Carrel to Expound. But of more importance than any possible physical equipment stands the fact that here Dr. Carrel will demon- strate to American war surgeons the Carrel-Dakin method of treatment of wound infection, along with other sur- gical methods worked out and suc- cessfully applied at the military hospi- tal at Compiegne, France. ‘Within probably two weeks the dem- onstration hospital will be completely finished and equipped, the staff of doc- tors and nurses ready and the first group of patients received, and treat- ment begun before the first group of army and Red Cross surgeons. Every few weeks new classes of surgeons will be admitted to the hospital and trained in the highly delicate Carrel-Dakin method of sterilization. And every few weeks new drafts of trained and efficient American surgeons will be made ready for work in the field and base hospitals in France. To them the Jast word in war surgery will be given so that when they start their duties “over there” every available bit of knowledge of the art of remaking men will be in their possession. Construction is Practical. Another great benefit to be derived from the model base unit here will be in the experience gained from its con- struction and equipment. Charles But- ler, an architect, of New ‘York, who has spent a considerable part of the past two vears studying the hospital units whic have been developed for use in France and England, and has worked under the French War De- partment, had charge of the plans and | The heating, lighting saintary cooking and washing arrangements were all worked out and furnished with a view toward testing the standardization:for future bases which will be built for the American troops in France. In every in European war surgery is almost fin- | way the construction of the model base was in the way of a demonstration and experjment. Both in the planning of the hospital and the idea of instruc- tion Surgeon-General W. C. Gorgas, U. S. A., was consulted and gave active co-operation. The group consists of fifteen build- ings arranged in the form of a square with the receiving, operating and double wards in the center. All the buildings are connected by roofed | over passageways and those used by the patients are enclosed. The build- ings and all the equipment are-of “knock down” portable construction, | being built on the unit or sectlon{ basis so that they can be taken down easily and shipped and set up aseln,! The buildings proper are construct- | ed in sections, 5 by 8 feet, each bolted | together, the walls and flooring being of double thickness and hollow with | two sheets of heavy building paper | between for warmth. The roofs are of heavy tarred paper, and the con- . necting passageways are covered with iron sheeting. All the structures are unusually light and airy, the windows in many of the buildings taking up fully half the entire wall space. The |buildlngs are sixteen, twenty-two and Py Imported Hambletonian, a big white English bull terrier, with white satin sash and embroidered Red Cross pockets attached, collected money for the Red Cross in the lobby of a big New York hotel and will continue his efforts for several days.

The Carrel-Dakin method of the sterilization of infected wounds Which is to be taught to the attending sur, geons is probably the most important surgical discovery that of the war.' Herctofore the bulk of fatalities in war hospitals came from infection setting in after a wound had been sustained. In cases where in- fection had actually set in the only choice lay between amputation and trusting to the curative powers of the human body itself. To Dr, Dakin had gone the credi of discovering an antiseptic which consisted of a solution of hypochlorite of lime and was a thorough disin- fectant and yet avoided the caustic efforts of the chlorine. To Dr. Ca rel went the honor of perfecting method of applying this to deep wounds so thoroughly that the chem- ical properties of the able to kill the bacteria and at the same time have a solvent effect upon | dead tissues. Like all great discoveries process is fairly simple. It consists merely of the irrization of every por- tion of the wound, once in two hours, with the solution. In order to secure this result some preparation is necessary. When a patient is brought into the hospital his wound is opened up in such a manner. as to enable the proper irri- gation of its whole interior surface. has come out | 5 lution were | the | surgical | | city ENGLISH KING Suspended at the head of the patient's | bed taining the solution. in a small glass receptacle con- From this a _has | of being left jup from the bottom, charge can tell under normal condi- tions just when the wounded man will be discharged.

Queen Mary de- voted herself principally to the hos- pitals and the various arrangements to treat the si and wounded. The king’s days were crowded with activity, for he reviewed virtually the i entire British armed establishment in rubber tube extends with a stop cock | near the receptacle. At the. end of the tube is a glass, brush shaped af- | fair from which numberless little rub- ber perforated tubes extend. The spray effect is placed in the wound, the flow regulated by the stop cock, and the solution thus forced to pen- part of the wound. ess of healing is carefully ' watched and each day scrapings from the interior of the wound are exam- ined under the microscope and the improvement charted.

Whenever they passed through French cities and villages back of the British front, both the king and queen were given enthusi- astic demonstrations of welcome by | the French people. King George entertained President Poincare at luncheon during his stay, and later, in the shadow of a shell- shattered church, at Albert with its leaning gilded Virgin, he held an in- vestiture, at which he conferred deco- | conferred the military for bravery in | iService = Station and Dis- | rations on a number of French offi- | cers, personally pinning on General Petain, commander in chief of the | French armies operating on 'the French front, the glittering star, de- noting a grand commander of the Bath. i On the first morning after his ar- rival in France, King George visited the Messines Ridge sector of the | front, climbing the ridge while the | Germans were shelling the woods just to his left. He inspected the ground over which the orth and South Irishmen fought so gallantly side by side during the taking of Messines lidge, and where William Redmond. While the king was doing this the Germans began shelling places on the ridge which he had quit but half an hour before. : Later the king visited Vimy Ridge, from which he could see the German lines about Lens, with British shells breaking on them. ! King George Is keenly Interested in | aviation, and visited several of the airdromes. He also saw many “tanks” drilling, and had a ride on one of these ungainly monsters. The king' and .queen saw two marvellous demonstrations of some of that “frightfulness” of modern war—boil- ing oil, liquid five and molten metal throwers. The king also reviewed the Portu- | guese troops. He was much im- pressed by the complexity of the facts he met with in this zone of the world war. The Prince of Wales, who is actively serving in the army as a staff captain, accompanied the King. AMERICANS WIN MEDALS.
