' AMERICAN HOSPITAL UNITS ARE READY
1 IN 40 MINUTES AFTER BATTLE STARTS.
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE
I Nov., o_Within forty minutes after arrival at an ad
vance station behind the firing line some of the mobile op
erating units attached to the American Army are ready
to receive wounded soldiers for major operations. Ordin
aii ly the unit is stationed near a base hospital to await a
Jai. iroin i ear the firing line. It consists of sixty-two of
' Jeers, fifty muses and nearly 200 enlisted men and is com
posed'of five sections each of which is a complete group
with a chief surgeon, and an assistant. Students from the
University of California and who were trained at Allen
town Pa., compose the majority of the enlisted personnel.
Having arrived behind the firing line unit unloads ib
equipment and provides beds undei canvass foi wounden
men and must provide ah the accessories of a modern hos
pital for immediate use. The operating pavilion is a'teut
erected over a metal floor, the outfit includes X ray plant
•md sterilizing appliances. Electricity for light and for op
eiation of the X-ray outfit is supplied by a motor and dy
namo carried on a truck.
liv uiese advanced methods surgeons are saving Hu
man lives today in cases where a few years ago the pat
knit would have been counted as mortally wounded. I hr*
is partly due to the fact that with this modern equipment
and swift movement the most difficult and delicate oper
ation may be performed often times within sound of tin
big guns along the 'line of battle.
Some of the best known surgeons in the United State I
are engaged in this work and daily and nightly aie pei- ;
formim* operations durinjj bottle which would hove b(.(n
impossible in previous wars.
IKON CROSS GIVEN BY GERMANS
for ONLY A PACK OF CIGARETTES.
A BRITISH PORT. Nov., 5— (Correspondence of The.
' Associated Press)—German prisoners captured in the re
cent fighting, who have arrived here, show a surprising.
depreciation of the once coveted Iron Cross. One of then
traded his decoration for a cigarette and an American of
ficer who accompanied the captives from I* ranee said se\
• ral of them spoke slightingly of the war token bestowed
upon them by Emperor William.
A marked change in the demeanor of the new prison
i-rs was also noticeable. Instead of arrogant and almost
insolent manner which characterized -their predecesors,
when the Germans were sweeping everything before them
the latest contingent seems humble and crestfallen. A1
most every officer and one in ten of the men wore the rib
bon of the Iron Cross.
The tobacco famine which exists among the prisone-s
makes it easy for the American soldiers to collect souven
iot-s. The Germans will part with almost any of their be
longings for a package of cigarettes. 1
American troops are leaving here for France dad
with bands playing and flags flying.
