Talt McKenzie, physical director of tho University of Pennsylvania and president of the American Physical Asso clatlon who has just returned after six teen month V service In tho British army In tho Royal Army Medical Corps, told to day of the remarkable work of conditioning wounded soldiers, that they may return to the front. Doctor McKenzie reueived tho rank of major and wan assigned to reorganize tho physical Instruction In the British armies, a largo task In view of the fact that the small staff of instructors who had been doing this work had Joined their regiments and gone to the front. Dr. McKenzie not only accomplished the work, but established and supervised the organization of a dozen model camps for the conditioning of convalescents, preparing them for tho front, and for the business of living If they were permanently disabled. It was he who recommended tho estab lishment of such camps. Dr. McKenzie Invented several Ingenious machines for tho use of convalescents In regaining the use of shattered limbs, which had become paralyzed through inactivity and shock. Ono machine Is designed to bring back the action of the hand and wrist joints. The hands of men working thts machine have been torn by sharpnel. Another machine, made from odd pieces of gas pipe and window cord, Is used for tho convalescents whose leg Joints have be como stiffened through Injury or inac tivity. The wounded man turns tho crank with his hand and this causes the foot-rest to work back and forth or up and down at his discretion. , Tho machines have been the means by which regiments of men, who otherwise would have stayed In hospitals for many months havo been returned to 'actlvo serv ice. When Doctor McKenzie arrived In Ens land the Government machinery was equipped for training fewer than 100,000 men. Through his capacity for organiza tion more than 3,000,000 men can be at tended to within a year.

Tcr- klns, former chairman of the Progressiva party's national commtttee, today aimed a few broadsides at President Wilson because of his speech In Baltimore on Monday, Mr. Perkins, who la now supporting the candidacy of Charles Evans Hughes, made the attack through a letter sent to Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the President. "From the beginning to the end of that Baltimore speech Its evident Intent." said Mr. Perkins, "was to make tho people, be lieve that during the Wilson administration a vast amount of constructive legislation has been enacted by Congress to promote business Interests of the country. Every well-informed citizen knows that nothing of the sort has been done." Mr. Perkins sharply criticized President Wilson because "he forbade this country to Join European nations In making a loan to China." Mr. Perkins said this action shut out the United States from a rare oppor tunity to gain a foothold In tlie Far East. "President Wilson," asserted Mr. Perkins, "has allowed our commercial relations with England to become so tangled during the war as to make the situation almost Intol erable for our business concerns."
