UNIQUE CURE FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS

Medical Men Arrive at West Baden Hospital WEST BADEN, Ind., Dec. 17. Four hundred and four men of the medical corps arrived here from Camp Creenleaf, Tenn. These men are assigned to assist in the care of additional wounded men from France who will be coming dally.

LONDON, Dec. 18. A moving . picture audience in bath tubs through

1 which warm water flows is the enter

tainment oddity provided in film shows by the American Y. M. C. A. at the hospital under the shadows of King's College, Cambridge, where wounded men from France are treated. In one ward certain of the patients who have had. very serious, septic wounds are having the water treatment. To look at these men you might think they were lying comfortably in bed, propped up with pillows. They are really sitting in bath tubs in water to their waists. A constant stream of water with a temperature of ninety eight is kept running through the tub, purifying and cleansing the wounds, which have no other dressing. A kind of magnified lap-board covers the top of the tub, and is in turn covered by a long, bright patch quilt. And there the men sit cn air cushions, leaning against air pillows day and night, sometimes for weeks at a time. Only the mos;t serious cases are put into these baths, men who otherwise have little chance of recovery and none without the amputation of a limb. But never yet has a case so treated been lost. "It's beastly uncomfortable the first wek," said the record case of the ward, a British Tommy, who was for eleven weeks in the bath. "Your legs ache, and you have the water rash. But in a week, at most, you get over that, and then it is more comfortable than being in bed. In fact, after they put you back in bed you can't sleep for a while, It's so hard." Th American Y. M. C. A. has been sending these men "movies" twice a

week. A screen has been arranged at one end of the hut and there all the screen favorites play their parts while the men sit comfortably in their warm tubs. And when the show is over al lthey have to do is to turn out the lights and go to sleep.
