The American doctors who are now at work in various parts oi the British front-find that army sur gery has advanced just as rapidly since the beginning of the war as any other branch of war's activities. In the early days of the war, wounds were of an average gravity far be yond that expected from the exper ience of previous wars, while tetanus, gas-gangrene and severe suppuration, were general and hundreds died oi comparatively trival injuries for lacK of early and adequate treatment. This situation has now been alter ed almost beyond recognition. Se rum treatment has almost done away with tetanus, while earlier and more energetic surgical treatment has lar gely defeated gangrene More and more of the major surgical work is being carried out in the casualty clearing stations., and some of the most famous of the American surg eous have spent most of their time since their arrival,' in advanced hos pitals within sound of the German guns. The key to the whole improvement in surgical results has been thd pushing of the surgeon nearer and nearer to the fighting lines. Thd enemy has endeavored to countei this by persistent bombing of the advanced hospitals, but the saving of life is more than worth the loss of life, and suitable defensive measures arc being taken. The doctor, as dist'nguished from the surgeon, has also accomplished wonders in this war. The snian mortality from disease in the British and French armies is due to his constant vigilance. His two great w-eapons have h,een sanitation and prophylactic inoculation. In a scene of unparalleled confusion and in an area of quite 'primitive sanitation, his exertions have resulted in an as tonishing degree of sanitary effici ency. Refuse is destroyed or deep ly buried; battle fields in many cases are cleaned up within a few days; pure water supplies are providea,. Everywhere beh'nd the immediate front, order and cleanliness are the, rule. The rule of the army medical offi cer is not always welcomed by the inhabitants, but it works with mag nificent success, until camps anu towns, which in previous wars would have been death traps, have a mor tality as low as the most approved health resort. The routine work of these medical officers has probably saved more lives than all the other medical work of the war. Preventive inoculation has robbed typhoid and dysentery of the'r ter ror, although in all prev'ous wars, these two causes were responsible for far more deaths than shells and bul lets. Dr. F. S. Steele, who is attached to the medical corps at New Bern, is in the city for a few days. NEW YORK COTTON By the Associated Press. New York !Nov. 9. Ths cotton market recovered part of its late loss es of yesterday during today's early trading.

London, Nov. 9: The arrival in London of the American mission and Colonel House's statement the first intimation of America's part in the conference was given. Editorially the Times says: "The theory that America stands more or less aloof from the allies may still survive, but henceforth she shares our inmost confidence, not on ly regarding the immediate objects of the war, but the war to win. In several po'nts lately things have not been going well for the allies, but these are not serious if our great ally is directed wisely." PICTURE HOUSES MAY PAY CENT WAR TAX tly the Associated Press.

Austro-German forces in northern Italy have crossed the Livenza riv er, army headquarters announced today. 4 The Italian troops to the number of 17,000 were cut off from the Tag liamento and captured, the official statement adds. The total number of prisoners taken by the Austro-German forces is now more than 250,000 it is asserted. Messrs. Rov Abernethy, A. M. West and R. H. Shuford went to Charlotte yesterday and drove back three new Kissel cars for the Ab ernethy Hardware Company. PYTHIAN EN R AMY E Y. M. C. A. Catawba lodge, No. 54; Knights of Pythias, Thursday night unanimous ly decided to put its energy behind the army Y. M. C. A. work and a number of short, spirited addresses were made by members on the work. The question will be taken up in de tail next Thursday night. The Hickory Pythians propose to do all they can financially for the moral welfare of the soldiers and they will concventrate in Y. M. C. A. work, giving as liberally as they are able. Among those making speech es endorsing this course were Messrs. C. C. Bast, Donald T. Apple gate, J. A. Mbretz, J. O. Berkley, B. B. Blackwelder, D. L. Russell, J. C. DeRhodes and R. L. Hefner. GERMAN PAPERS DON'T WANT The executive committee appoint ed to take charge of the campaign to ra se funds for the army Y. M. C. A. work met at the Chamber of Commerce rooms last night. The campaign opens next Monday, and arrangements are being made for a meeting at the Reformed church Sunday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, so that the citizens of Hickory may have an opportunity of hearing all about the work proposed, and the im portant part, it plays in the welfare of our soldier boys in camp and -at the front. Mr. J. H. Morehouse, building sec retary No. 105, Y. M. C. A., Camp Greene, will be on hand to give a practical talk on what the Y. M. C. A. is do'ng now, and what it aims to do in the future. Other Y. M. C. A. workers are expected, and these will be supplemented by local speak ers and special music. The following captains have been chosen to make the campaign, and they will meet tonight at the Cham ber of Commence rooms to select their committees, so that everything will be in readiness for work on Monday morning: K. C. Menzies, L. F. Abernethy, J. A. Moretz, J. H. P. Cilley. While the public at large is more or less familiar with the plans of the Army Y. M. C. A. organization, yet very ffew realize its immense importance. The sum of $35,000,000 is needed because of the vast num ber of men to be saved. Before next July the American army and navy will in all probability include 2.500,000 men. The Nafonal War Work Council is also called upon to extend its work throughout the Rus sian army of over 7,000,000 men, the French army of about 4,000,00f men, the. Italian army of possibly 3, 000 000 and the smaller armies of Belgium. Mesopotamia, India, East Africa, Egypt and Rumania number ing probably 1,500,000 more prisoners of war imperatively require the con tinued practical ministry of America through the association. Here then are a total of 24,000,000 men whose physical, intellectual and spiritual betterment we wish to promote. When we remember that in no previous war have more than 2,000,000 men been opposed to, each other and that here are twelve1 times that number tp whom we have a mission, the colossal magnitude of the undertak ing is apparent. The $35,000,000 should be .given because of the direct and v'tal bear ing which the work of the association has in accomplishing the purpose of the war. Napoleon has said that in war morale is to other factor as three to one. America wisely and generously subscribed $120,000,000 to the Red Cross in response to the first appeal. This work of the Army Y. M. C. A. Association, calling for less than one-th'rd of that amount, ministers not only like the Red Cross to the physical comfort of the en listed men and of the military pris oners, but also to their intellectual and spiritual nature in other words, to their morale. QUEEN IS DYING By the Associated Press. Petrograd, Thursday, Nov. 8. Confirmation was obtained ton'ght that the former ministers of the pro visional government who were r.rres ted by the military revolut' ,nary committee have been incarcerated n the fortress of St. Peter an I St. Paul. The commissioner of the fortress explained to the Associated Press the arrest of the ministry. The cab net members, he said, were arrested at the Wjinter palace after its surrender this morning. They were taken to the fortress, where they were placed in solitary confinement, but were treated courteously. It is impossible at this hour to obtain information as to what the casualties were in the Yinter palace, though they ware said to be large. SAILORS IN I'ETKGGRAD By the Associated pTess. London, Nov. 9. Several trans ports from Kronstadt arrived in Petrograd on Wednesday carrying sailors who previously sided with the provisional government. The correspondent gives the fol lowing extracts from Lenine's ad dress: "The second revolution has been accomplished. Wre shall offer a peace acceptable to the proletariat of all countries, publish all secret treaties, take over all plants and establish workmen's superiority everywhere. The consequenc will be the accom plishment of the third social revolu tion." ' : TURNS BACK SOLDIERS Ry the Associated Press. Petrograd, Nov. 9. At a meeting of the congress of soldiers' and workmen's delegates last night a member of the revolutionary military committee said Wjednesday Premier Kerensky, who was 23 miles fom Pet rograd, addressed G6,000 soldiers who were on their way from the front to Petrograd. After a con ference the soldiers decided to re turn to the front for the present. Leon Trotzky, president of the ex ecutive committee of the Petrograd soldiers' and workmen's delegates, explained the arrest of certain mem bers of the Kerensky government was not an act of vengeance or po 1'tical repression. He said all the members of the late government would be tr ed for complicity in the Korni loff rebellion. The political socialists to which the minister belonged Tiave ecidied to turn over the members of the ministry. By the Associated Press. Honolulu, Nov. 9.

The propos ed settlement of the eastern prob lem by annexing Poland to Austria Hungary and Courland and Lithuania to Germany has few friends 'n Ger many aside from proponents of the idea. Virtually the entire press opposes it. The conservatives are against it, because they fear such a step on Polish provinces of Prussia. The Liberalist and Socialist newspapers- were indignant at the at tempt to decide a question involving the whole future of Germany be hind the backs of the reichstag and especially at the effort to sidetrack the reichstag declaration of peace without annexations.
