Captain Pratt has seen seven months of service as a surgeon and has at times been desperately close to where the scrap iron flles. He was a quarter of a mile from the battle front at Neuve Chapelle when the stray she!l burst and the shrap- nel struck him. The impact of a big plece of the shell broke his right thigh, and one of the 200 steel balls the shell contained penetrated the leg. ediets Three More Years, Captain Pratt predicts that the war will last some three years more. He speaks of the war in a calm, dignified with little or no prejudice, appar- y, and views the whole drama merely from the standpoint of a sur- geon. One interesting incid®ht he tells is that at one of the battles of Neuve Chapelle the British killed between 30,00 and - 000 of thelr own troops through a blun- der whereby the men were sent to a charge a trifle before the artillery in the rear was given the order to raise its range.

Mr. Lobeck said he had in mind two or three representa- tive Nebraskans who are big lawyers, but for the reason of their connections with what has come to be denominuted as “big business,” he decided to present Judge | Sullivan’s name, knowing that if ap- pointed the former chief justice of the preme court of Nebraska, now in legal practice in Omaha, would not be called ! upen to explain his assoclation in any case in which there might be a federal principle involved.
