Kohler Takes Cornell Co-ed as Bride MARCHING ON ARMY SCHEDULE Guardsmen Xow Duty Will Be Sen Washington, January 29 The War Department today was notified In dispatches from Major General Funston that the withdrawal of the American punitive expedition in Mexico was progressing satisfactorily and the last of the 12,000 troops should cross the border next Monday.

It Is expected that most, if not all, of the 60.000 Guardsmen on patrol duty will soon be sent home. A statement made public said: "General Pershing's movement continues without incident and according to schedule. He will probably cross the border a week from today." The text of the withdrawal order Is withheld by the department, but it la known that it contains specific directions for the conduct of the movement, including prescribed in- tingency that may arise, and reached General rershing early Sunday. Army officers here point to the great value of the Pershing expedition In a military way, not only as hardening the troops, but also as brlnglm; about much needed improvements and a still more interesting consideration from Congress and the country. When General Pershing went Into Mexico, for instance, the army had nut two truck companies or twenty-seven trucks each.

Now it lias more than 2,000 big trucks of modern designs. Likewise, the great increase in the army's aviation strength 11 said to be due largely to needs shown uy tne expedition.

It Is summed up thus: "If you ever get -confused and can not think of the right phrase, th word 'Please' added to any request the words 'Excuse whenever yoi and the words 'I am sorry' added to have denv some reauest or desire of a pas senger will get you by pleasantly in the great majority ot cases.

Takes Fighting Chance With "Hopeless" Case-Patient Expected to Recover.

MARVEL AT KINGS CO. HOSPITAL Similar Operation Performed Woman and Is Success Doctor's Name Kept Secret. And now come two cases lntc Kings County Hospital at the time to prove how foolish was old belief that the operating sur must not dare do any tinkering with the spinal cord and that injuries It were beyond surgical aid. Casimir Trascoma, 32 years old, of 70 Nassau avenue, is one of the liv ing examples of the folly of this old belief, and Mrs. Jessie Smith, 42, 21 Goodwin place, is the other.

Eat In the last week or so, has had section of the spinal column sawed has had an operating surgeon reach down into the channel throt which the spinal cord runs a straighten out kinks in the cord remove pressure on the cord, and Trascoma and Mrs. Smith are still in the land of the living and, what is more, each is probably going tc well and Is going to take-a no place in life again Instead of leading the halting existence of the paraly It isn't a common thing even in day and generation of marvellous surgery for a backbone to be sawed ana cut open ana to nave part or spinal column actually sawed aT and so It is probable that the eye the entire surgical world at present are iocusea ngnt on tsrooKiyn the Kings i I oi cots where Trascoma and Mrs. Smith are finding that a whole backbone isn't a necessity after all. There aren't anywhere near a hundred recorded cases of this backbone-sawing operation in the whole world, so when the Kings County Hospital has two at the same time well, you can imagine lor yourseir wnab.it is. Then, too, you see, it's rather important from the standpoint of Trascoma and Mrs.

Smith. Trascoma, a Polish laborer, father of three small children who are Just managing to exist through the earnings of their mother while the breadwinner of the family is laid ud. was naralvzed from the waist down until January 18. That was the date of the operation that meant new life to him. Prior to that time, and from September 16, when motoroycle, he had been a so-called "hopeless" case the muscles below his waist all powerless and with apparently little prospect' that they would ever be used again.

With every day, he grew weaker, too; and finally there was the prospect that unless something was done-to relieve him Trascoma could not last very long. There wasn't vet much choice in the matter either very desperate measures must be resorted to or death must come. T1k fighting chance was taken and the attending surgeon who has rigorously kept his name from personal mention bared the backbone in the small of Trascoma's back. Surgeon Sawed Into Spinal Column and Straightened Out Cord. Seven vertebrae were involved there In the dislocation thai had par; Trascoma and that was slowlv sapping his life away.

Tin surgeon took an electric saw and sawed the spinous processes the "humps" of the backbone off the seven vertebrae as clean as a whistle. Then the saw cut down into what was left until the dura, or covering of the spinal cord, was exposed. Here it was found the cord had been twisted so that it was like the letter 8. Tin surgeon unsnarled It, laid it down in the place where it should hav been and Trascoma was sewed together again. Trascoma was convalescing slowlv from this when Mrs.

Smith was brought into the hospital. She was shot seven years ago by her husband, Hubbard Smith, now in Sing Sing, and the bullet lodged right on the spinal cord. The pressure paralyzed Mrs. Smith's right leg and she had to wear a brace that would hold her up. Twice there were operations intended to relieve her, but the bullet Itself was considered in too precarious a place to warrant any interference.

But last week the brace broke and Mrs. Smith fell to the Door, breaking the affected leg. She was taken in the Kings County Hospital and it was discovered that nearly the same condition obtained in her case as had obtained in Trascoma's. So the same operation was performed on her on Thursday, although not nearly as much of the spinal column was Neither patient is as yet "out of the woods," the doctors at the hospital admit, but they are progressing toward recovery with a certainty that amaze observers. Mrs.

Smith's condition is much better than Trascoma's. as his long Invalidism militates against him Unless there come unexpected ultimate recovery for the two is looked for despite Trascoma's present critical condition.

Main 1567. Philip J. Kohler, who was one of the late Mayor Gaynor's secretaries, and is now an assistant tax commissioner, surprised his friends by getting married on Saturday night. Mrs. Kohler's bride was Miss Sara Eleanor Stout, a student at Cornell University.

She came down to New York last week for a five days vacation, and while she was here the couple decided to get married. They had been engaged for some time, but their friends did not expect the wedding to occur until after Miss Stout completed the course in domestic science which she is now taking at Cornell. The ceremony was performed on Saturday evening, by the Rev. John Howard Melish, rector of Holy Trinity Church, at Mr. Melish's home, 126 Plerrepont street.

James P. Kohler, the bridegroom's father, and Frederick Dudley Kohler, Harold Benton Kohler and James P. Kohler his three brothers, were present. As Miss Stout had no intention of getting married when she came down to New York, her parents were not apprised of the wedding until after it had occurred. But no opposition to the we.

Ming is anticipated from them, as James P. Kohler. the father of the bridegroom, and William P. Stout, the bride's father, were schoolmates at Milton, their home town. Mr.

Kohler. who now resides at 390 East Seventeenth street, met his bride about a year ago while he was on a visit to Milton.

Washington, January 29 The signation of Francis Burton Harrl-n as Governor General of the Philippine Islands is expected in Washington within a short time. There have been repeated rumors con cerning the intention ot Mr. ttarri- to retire for some time, out tney have all been lacking in confirmation. While there is no official knowledge of Mr. Harrison's Intentions it is understood in Washington that some of friends are aware ot his desire to quit his post and that they expect the change very soon; perhaps coincident with the beginning of President Wil li's second term.

One fact that tends to confirm the report that Mr. Harrison is about to resign is that John A. Dix, former Governor of New York, is known to be ndi.laie for the riinippine post. The claims of Mr. Dix have already been called to the attention of certain administration officials.
