CHICAGO, Feb. 12—Could President Lincoln have been saved if the doctors of his time had present-day medical knowledgé and surgical equipment? Dr. Otto Eisenschiml, 3 Chicago chemist and Lincoln_scholar, says most medical Delief indicates not. Based on his study of research materials and consultations with leading Chicago doctors, Dr. Eisenschiml says:
“It is 4 compliment to Lincoln's bedside at-
tendants that, if modern scientists had been in charge, they would have proceeded in principle much as did their colleagues of 87 years ago.’ * Hi b> LINCOLN was shot in Ford's Theater on Apr. ‘14, 1865, about 10:15 p. m. John Wilkes Booth, the assassin, fired a round bullet, a Half-inch in diameter, from probably no farther than two feet away. The bullet hit Liricoln in the head. It made a cleanly cut hole as if done with a punch. A young Army surgean, Dr. Charles A. Leale, who had strolled into the theater that night, was the first doctor at his side. Seeing no blood, he removed the President’s upper garments. He jan had the good sense, says Dr. Eisenschiml, to lift his eyelids and

LONDON, Feb. 12 (CDN)—What will ‘happen to Britain and ‘the British Empire in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II?

The empire which Kipling celebrated in his nurple passages sprawls across the globe pretty much physically as before and it is still correct to say the sun never sets on it.

Yet many Britons are confident that all will go well now

They are pointing to historic parallels: between these times and those of the first Elizabeth nearly 400 years ago. golden era which England enjoyed in the first Elizabethan age will by some magical process be repeated now in glorious 20th Centry form.

THE LITTLE girl who named herself Lilibet, now a woman of 25, fulfilled the first duty of an immediate heir to the threne.
In Westminster Abbey, not far from the ancient Scottish Stone of Scone under the coronation chair; Princess Elizabeth was ‘married to Prince Philip, her first and only love, on Nov. 20, 1947. The heir presumptive to the throne and her dashing young British Navy officer husband, 26, were now their royal highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. The health of Elizabeth's father King George VI had never been too robust. Like his father and grandfather he had a tendency to pulmonary ailments. But there was every hope
