INDEPENDENT ISLAND WHERE' MAIMED WILL BE HEALED
PLANS are on foot to set up, on a tiny island in the Ægean Sea, an independent State which will also be an international sur- gical centre, observes the Nets Chronicle.
Here, if the Greek Government agrees, will be estab- lished a new centre for "structive surgery," to which maimed men, women and children from all over the world
may go.
The poor will be healed free and caught to work, so that when they return to the outside world they will be useful members of society.
Behind this project is Dr. He lectured to the Medical Society Johannes Samuel Esser, to whom in Athens and won over the protes during the war were brought some of the worst enses of mutilation and disfigurement.
Out of this experience grew the idea of the centre of healing.
FAMOUS IN 1914
In 1914 Dr. Esser was already fam- cuts us a leading exponent of what] later was known as structive sur- Kery.
Working in the principal hospitals Ja Central Europe he performed operations in capes that had been given up as hopeless.
He made new Hips, cars, nuses! grow. Under his hands new bone, i and new skin grew and healed. He restored shattered limbs and even heads,
After the war he set up, with his friends to whom he had revealed his iden, the Independent Institute of Structive Surgery, with headquarters | in Paris.

Among there islands Dr. Estra found an ideal place,
It is the Island of Kyra Panaghia. Tiny-less than 11 square miles~~~ It has a well, a flat space where aeroplanes can land. and smaller isleis close to its coast.

"ABSOLUTELY FREE"
Dr. Eer and the Institute are not asking merely that Kyra Panaghia shall be ceded to them by the Greek Government. They are stipulating hut a Free State Shall be established there, with an autonomous Govern- ment.
