A Harbin telegram states that ths greater part of the surgeons and a large portion of the Bed Gross material have remained at Mnkden. The sanitary services aro completely disorganised. Chloroform and antiseptics are lacking. Tho sick ere ' . piled up on uncovered trucks, and thZ*J mortality is frightful. All oivil doctors are being requisitioned, and they are operating without oessation. Harbin ratU way station is transformed into a vasf ' amphi-thoatre, where dead, dying, anS’”** wounded Bre, so to speak, abandoned. The state of confusion is indescribable, and it is the same at Tieling. The Petit Journal’s ’ Bt. Petersburg correspondent also says that Haroin has been turned into avast hospital. “Numerous trains,” he adds, “ are arriving laden with wounded, mostly half-frozen. A large number aro dying for lack of medical attention. Civilians inflight find no lodgings anywhere, and are sleeping out in the fields. Several of them have already been murdered by Chinese.”
