AMERICAN DOCTOR IS
THE WONDER
OF RUSSIAN TROOPS WHOM
, HE HELPS IN THEIR
TROUBLE
PETROGRAD, Feb. 11.—More
than 3,000 surgical operations, most
of them close to the fightinng line
and with the roar of artillery in
his ears, is the past year’s record
of Dr. Eugene Hurd, until recently
the only American surgeon at the
front with the Russian forces. Dr.
Hurd is the chief surgeon in charge
of the 29th, known as the “Grodno
Nobility” flying. He has the rank
of a colonel in the regular army.
His physique—*he stands 6 feet 3
inches in height and weighs 225
pounds—makes him a conspicuous
figure, even among the big fellows
of the Siberian corps among whom
he works. He has acquired a rep
utation among the simple minded
soldiers for doing the impossible. A
soldier returning from the hospital
told his fellows that the “big Amer
ican surgeon could take a hand
that had been shot off, patch it to
gether and put it back on as good
as new.” /
Dr. Hurd works customarily about
a mile back from the trenches in
line with the light artillery and in
front of and under the heavy bat
teries.
"I beieve the Russian soldier to
be the best in the world,” he said
cn a recent visit to Petrograd, his
third brief absence from the tren
ches in more than a year. “The Rus
sian is a fatalist, is absolutely
fearless, willing to attack under any
conditions, and is an expert with
the bayonet, his favorite weapon.
I am convinced that the Germans
lost twenty to our one on the re
treat last summer.
“A new form of trench bomb,
filled with acid that acts like vitrol,
is the last element we have had to
contend with. The effect is fatal
if the fumes are inhaled and the
least effect is to produce a total
and permanent blindness. These
bombs are fired at close range and
explode in contact. From one to
sheven men are effected where the
explosion occurs among men unpro
tected by respirators. Often the
men have not time to adjust the
respirators in time to escape.
“A remarkable thing I have ob
served is the number of cases of
frozen feet among German prison
ers, while I have yet to treat the
first Russian for that trouble. The
reason is that tho Germans wear
close fitting boots, while the Rus
sian boot is large and in place of
socks he . binds his feet in yards
of woolen cloths. The boots are
watertight. Another thing, the Rus
sian trenches are deep enough and
wide enough that men may stand
and move about. ‘Trench-foot,’
due to cramped conditions and im
paired circulation, is unknown a
mong our soldiers.
“I insist in rigid discipline in my
corps of assistants, and through a
system of packing and handling
which I have devised, I can break
camp and be on the move within
20 minutes, or I can unlimber and
begin to operate within 10 minutes
upon arrival.
The only other American surgeon
at the Rusian front is at Malcolm
Grow, recently made surgeon of
the 21st flying column of another
Siberian corps.
SEWARD THE PLACE
FOR CONVENTION
REPORT OF WHAT WAS DONE
AT A MEETING HELD
AT SEWARD
The doings at the meeting held
Seward on the 7tn instant by the
republican territorial committeemen
are reported by the Sward Gate
way of the same date as follows:
The Republican Territorial Con
vention will be held at Seward on
the April 19.
This vcas decided upon today at
the meeting of the Republican ter
ritorial committee which adjourned
at noon after having transacted Its
business.
It was decided to hold the pri
maries on March 11.
Each division was aportioned six
ty delegates to the convention in
stead of fifty as heretofore.
Those present were:
W. W. Getchell, who held the
proxy of Micheal O’Connor; Mssrs.
Hazelet and Irving who are not com
mitteemen but who held proxies for
others. Mr. Getchell was not a
committeeman;
Frank Cotter, secretary of the
committee;
Messrs. Herron, . chairman, Ken
nedy, Whittemore and Finnegan
were really the only members of
the committee present.
E. E. Ritchie acted as secretary
as the regular secretary was late
in arriving.
The day on which the conven
tion will be held here is Lexington
day. The committee also made an
apportionment amongst the towns
of each division. Each of the four
large towns of this division will
have eight delegates and the re
mainder are distributed according
to the importance of the different
places. At the primaries the polls
will be kept open from 1 to 6 p.m.
in all precincts having more than
one delegate and in the other pri
maries may be carried on accord
ing to the wishes of the people
residing there.
The Fourth division, that is the
Fairbanks country had no personal
representative present at the meet
ing but Herron and Hazelet each
had two proxies from that division.
The committee adopted a regula
tion to the effect that no man may
participate in the Primaries unless
he pledges himself to support the
nominee of the party.
No resolution was proposed at
the meeting. It had been expect
ed that a resolution would be pro
posed which would have had some
bearing on the question of the pos
sibility of receiving Wickersham
and his adherents into the regular
fold in the territory but nothing
was said about the present Dele
gate in an official way, any remarks
about him having been of the most
informal kind.
The Gateway asked several of
those present at the meeting to
express an opinion as to what truth
there is in the rumors that efforts
are being made to have Mr. Wick
ersham and the regulars reconciled
and it was learned that there is a
very strong foundation for the
statement that negotiations are now
afoot between the Delegate’s friends
and certain leaders of the Repub
lican organization to bring them
all together, but it can also be
stated that most of the men who

GENERAL CARRANZA
ADVISES HIS PEOPLE
On hisrecent visit to Guadalajara,
Mexico, where he was received with
enthusiasm, General Carranza in an
address to his people said in part
“We should be represented and
make ourselves respected in the
council of nations and prove that we
are entitled to the world’s respect.
“We have been able to maintain
our independence when foreign in
tervention was desired in some
quarters, and in fact appeared im
minent, and now we must show
that we have the power to re-estab
lish permanent peace in .Mexico."

are thoroughly determined to have
nothing to do with Mr. Wickersham
as the nominee of the party in the
territory. It has been hinted that
Ed. Russel, owner of the Juneau
Dispatch, is acting as a go-between
for Shackleford and Wickersham
with a view of bringing these two
oldtime and bitter enemies togeth
er for the purpose of uniting all
the Republican forces. Nothing
was said about this at the meeting

fact that such a plan is being
formed.
