Work on what la expected lo be one of the
greatest medical document tn a decade was
undertaken today, wheH a committee ap
pointed by the Clinical Congress of Sur
geons, In session hero, begnn to compile
tdata on alt operation!1 performed during
the clinics held at Philadelphia hospitals

The "end result" committee, of which a
rhlladelphlan, Dr, llobert A. LcConte, lo
chairman, wa organised today to collect
the data which will be presented In n report
at tho convention next year In New York.
The Importance of these operations. It n
pointed out, has nothing to do with tho
number performed, but In tho results
achieved.
HISTORY MAKER
The many surgical demonstrations that
have been made during the present con
gress already have outstripped In Impor
tance any other group of cllnlca ever held
In this country. It was said.
All the new methods of tumor and cancer
removal and cure, daring operations on the
brain, splne-stretchlng, abdominal opera
tions, blood trnnsfunlon, skin grafting nnd
many other additions to medical knowledge
demonstrated by Philadelphia surgeons will
be compiled In tho report.
A spectacular exhibition otiiodern mili
tary first-aid work as It Is done In the field
hospitals In the European war zone began
today In a tented hospital city of BOO beds
On Belmont plateau, Falrmount Park, for
the benefit of the hundreds of surgeons
attend tho congress. This morning the
exhibition was for surgeons and doctors
only, but this afternoon the general public
-was admitted In tho hope that the spectacle
lf a modern lied Cross hopltal In full opera
tion would stlmulnto the spirit of prepared
nrss In this section of the country.
HOSPITAL DEMONSTRATION
Virtually the entire Lakeside Unit Red
Cross Hospital, of Cleveland, has been
transplanted to Belmont Plateau for the
exhibition. The exhibition began today
under the direction of Dr. George W. Crlle,
of the Lakeside Hospital, of Cleveland,
Doctor Crlle spent many months In hos
pital work on the western front In the
service of the American Ambulance and
he has patterned the Lakeside Unit lied
Cross Hospital after the most up-to-date
field hospitals of France.
The tented hospital city on Belmont Pla
teau gave the visiting surgeons and hun
dieds of other physicians from Philadelphia
and all sections of Pennsylvania, New Jer
sey, Delaware and Maryland a vivid idea
of the workings of a field hospital under
war conditions and within range of the
enemy's guns.
There are twenty-six large-sized ward
tints In the unit and each tent contains
twenty beds. In the center of ,the city of
tents Is a large operating tent, equipped
with Instruments, surgical supplies and all
of the appliances of modern surgery. A
force of 120 physicians, nurses nnd order
lies brought from Cleveland by sprc:nl train
bustled about the base hospital. They wen
through various maneuvers, showing how
the wounded are brought to the base and
how they are cared for after they reach
the hospital. Therewere exhibitions of
methods employed in the war zone of ban
daging wounds and bringing comfort to
wounded and exhausted soldiers.
MILITARY DISCIPLINE
The hospital base presented a distinct
military appearance. A detachment of reg
ulars from the regular army, under Major
Harold W. Jones, patrolled the street of
the hospital base, and a sentry In the uni
form of the United States army ,wus on
guard at each tent.
The strictest military regulations were
observed and nurses and orderlies adhered
closely to tho rules of a lied Cross base
hospital.
Special trains were run to Belmont Pla
teau this morning to take visiting surgeons
and physicians. The visitors also included
officers of tho War Depurtmcnt ht Wash
ington, offloers of the United States army
and navy and officials of health boards of
towns and cities of Pennsylvania and near
by Btatts.
Surgeons and physicians moved through
the streets of the hospital base, praising the
equipment and marveling at the thorough
ness of everything. It Is expected that the
exhibition will pne a great Impetus to
preparedness along lied Cross lines.

Oct. 28. Democrats In eviry city, town nnd
hamlet of tho United Htntcs today nro
celebrating Woodrow Wllnn Day. There
Ih but one exception! Shadow Lawn. At
the summer White llouso "Jfew York Day"
was observed, for reasons of modesty as
well as of consideration for tho 10,000 men
and women who madu the pilgrimage from
New York city
Throughout the country, wherever there
are enough Democrats to make u quorum
and In tho larger cities crowds of thou
sands nro expected to gather there will bo
read, by a prominent Democratic citizen,
a presidential proclamation on American
Ism nnd tho "new freedom." Thus tho
Presldont will address, Indirectly, tho en
tire American Democracy on the same day
and. In moat places, ut the same hour.
addiu:ssi:s TimoNO
Hore nt Shadow Lawn there is a gather
ing of Democrats from nil over New York
Stnte. Tho President addressed tho throng
this afternoon. '
Mr. Wilson first explained that today Is
called Wilson Day because for six years ho
had been permitted "to lead, first a great
State nnd then a great national party along
the ways of nroaresH and of enlarged re
generated life whtclnjur-peopld had bo long-
sought and so long been new duck irom
by tho organized power of selilsh Interest,
and because tho great honor has fallen to
mo of being chosen ouco moro spokesman
and repiesentutlvo of the men who mean to
hold tho country to these ways of peace,
humanity nnd pi ogress. It Is of these forces
that I shall rpeak and not of myself, who
am merely their servant."
"Kour yenrB ago there were two parties
In the field whoso program was conceived
under tho Influence of these great forces
of progress nnd adjustment tho Democratic
party und the Progressive party," said tho
President. "This year thero Is but one
tho Democratic party. Mote than two
thlrda of the voters of tho United Stntes
four years ago favored then, and favor now,
n. program whose object Is to Berve the
changing needs of humanity nnd progress.
Tho Democratic party was entrusted with
tho task. These powerful forces of tho
new age were put under Its direction. And
under that direction they have put both
the business nnd the life of the country
upon a new footing.
"And still the grent -work Is not finished.
It can never be roitndod off and concluded
so long ns circumstances change and the
fortunes nnd relations of men shift nnd
alter, The question you have to decide
one week from next Tuesday Is whether
It shall bo prematurely Interrupted, por
hnps for a generation to come, and nil the
generous forces of tho nge and of the
wor'.d thrown back upon themselves In dis
couragement nnd confusion.
PIUTICAL POINT IN H1BTOUY
"The program remaining Is as great as
tho program accomplished. We know 'that
wc stnnd at one of the most crtllcal Junc
tures In tho history of tho world, when all
hopes hang In the balance. We will suffer
nc man, no body of men. through timidity
ot fear or Jealousy, to delay or hinder or
ombarrass us. lteactlon can have no plnco
of tolerance among us when nil tho world
waits upon thoso who plan Justice and
pi ogress. I summon you. not only to sus
tain, but to swell the hosts that have their
fnni-H now set toward the l'ght, their eyes
lilted to the horlsons where the dawn of
a new age begins to brighten; and I sum
mon you with confidence, with a .certain
expectation of the part America and her
great people are to play when the dawn
broadens Into day."
CONFID13NT OF MIDDLE WEST
Ileturnlng Inst night from his last swing
through the Middle West, Mr, Wilson ex
pressed great gratification over tho re
sults of his trip. He and his campaign
managers were particularly Impressed with
the reception accorded the President in

turned out to greet Charles Kvnns Hughes
ns he swept across hlB home State today.
Hundreds and thousands got up before day

hear him speak.
Mr. Hughes preached n vigorous Amer

"You must excuse tho rather harsh qual

"Thero Is no prosperity for tho United

in very explicit terms that the constitu

BRITISH SHIPPING TRUST
BALKED TRADE IN U. S.
TO GRAB BIG CARGO
Sent Secret Information of Ce
ment Shipment to Manufac
turers in Denmark, Com
merce Chamber Says
PENNSYLVANIANS LOSE
Further evidence of nllcged unfair tac
tics of tho Ilrltlsh shipping trust wa,s
brought to light today through Investiga
tion made by the Chamber of Commerce.
It was learned that nn ofilco In London,
which controls seven lines running from
New York to South America, took nn order
for 7000 tons ot cement away from the
Lehigh district of Pennsylvania at rales to
suit Its own convenience.
A South American republic, according to
the records, decided to buy the cement for
Its public works. Inquiries for bids were
made through the Department of Commerco
and Labor, with Instructions that the prices
quoted should Include freight. Ilutes were
asked from tho seven lines by the Pennsyl
vania manufacturers nnd nt the end of a
week they were quoted rates of 835 a ton.
It was lenrned later that the South Amer
ican republic had placed tho order In Den
mark. It wan subsequently discovered that
the olllce In London gnve a rate of 816 a
ton to the Danish manufacturer. In this
mnnner tho big purchase was diverted from
America to a foreign country.
Quiet Investigation, the Chamber of Com
merce says, showed that news of tho deal
had been cabled from New York to London
nnd by Iondon Riven to the Danish manu
facturer for the reason that the shipping
trust, engaged In hauling supplies for tho
Ilrltlsh nrmy, was nt Its wit's end to supply
return cargoes tn South America. Tho rate
wns manipulated to fill tho empty Ilrltlsh
ships without any regard for American
ali ppers or manufacturers.

'ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 28. The
American-Mexican Joint Commission ad
journed the ninth week of Its sessions
with an official announcement that a definite
agreement for the establishment of peace
along the border la .well under way.
The proposed agreement contemplates the
withdrawal of the expeditionary column
under General Pershlpg as soon as It can
bo effected, and Is said also to provide for
a considerable reduction In the United
States troops on tho border patrol.
Outsldo influences have affected the work
of the commission moreurlng the last few
days than at any time since it began the
task of settling the International tangle,
jarorts to. create an impression that the
