These "reminiscences, horrible as
they are, lose somewhat of their
ghastliness when we compare them
with some historical facts in the arch
ives of Berlin and Paris, corroborated
by official reports. Frederick the
Great in l771 issued an order that no
private must be removed from the
battlefield, after being wounded, and
that only such officers who were at
tended by their own servants might
be sent to the rear after being dis
qualified.
That Kings Physician General of
the Army, DR.. Bilguer, reports that
"it is best to let privates die If they
lose limb in battle. They should
not be removed under any circum-
stances, his Majesty having no further
interest in them"

recognized by the United States as u
benefactor of mankind, and at the out
break Of the war in 1861 sanitary corps
were organized on the lines advocated
oy him. When, after the battle of
Fredericksburg, 1t became known in
Europe that the 5000 wounded we're
taken in charge by physicians during
the evening and the night following
the battle. so that on the morning
after only the dead remained on the
battlefield, the news was first treated
''as American humbug." Six months
later the War Lords experienced an
other battling surprise : Ii was officially
stated that of the 81, 900 wounded at
Gettysburg, during the battle lasting
from the lst to the Sd of July, none
remained unattended on July 4.
Professor Virchow once told me that

conferred upon the world, none had

serious consideration by scientific
men. He is still an adjunct to the
armies of the continent, il is true, but
his usefulness is no longer relied upon.
Doctor Won Coler and his colleagues
in the French and Italian service have
come to the conclusion that the st.
Bernard may be successfully en-
ployed to ferret out wounded men
lying in the mountains, ravines and
forests, but their chief utility will be
in dragging small, low ambulance
wagons, holding one patient. Ger
many, Austria, and Italy, and in a
lesser degree, France, too, have ten
thousands of able bodied dogs, daily
employed in market and other light
vehicles. There is no reason for
doubting that these animals will be
exceedingly useful in the field, though
ivy are liable to swell the train con-
siaerably. The physicians recognize

Hundreds of wounded men seek,
after every great battle, as is only
natural, shelter IN some secluded
spot, ravine, deserted liayloft, etc.,
where they fall asleep and are liable
to bleed to death. Their discovery in
the dark of the night is more than
improbable. And again, there are the
hyenas of the battlefield, bound on
murder, robbery and slaughter gener-
ally, the majority covering their
tracks by the cloak of the Red Gross

In the second line-that is, under

the second half Of the physicians, etc,
will be in attendance, with fully

more, there are ambulance wagons,

Within the precincts Of the reserve

erected, attended by the physicians of
the field lazaretto brigade, a special
organization. There are reception

and as many operation stations as
necessary. In The rear the train is
located for purposes of swiftly carry

All wounded allowing of transpor-

to the covered lazarettos, which, in
the event of battle, must be at once
established in available buildings not
too far removed from the field.

"Prussia did not organize regular
sanitary corps until 1856; they proved
insufficient in the little unpleasant
ness with Denmark, 1864, and two
years later their total incompetency
was so glaring that even the stoutest
military hearts shuddered. Austria
did not join the Geneva convention
until July, 1866, and left the care of
her wounded unblushingly to the
hated Prussians. Her army physicians
ran off with the regiments, to which
they were attached, as soon as the re-
treat began, and as if that had not
been enough, the Bohemian people

add here that his sanitary system, or

Wolves in Kansas,

II is said that there is good reason
to think that some of the farmers OF
western Kansas make business OF
raising wolves for the bounty paid on
their scalps. The Secretary Of the
State Board OF Agriculture has just
issued statement, showing that the
several counties of the State during the
year 1898 paid for wolf scalps the sum
of SIT, 900, and that during the past
four years the gross amount Of $50, 900
has been paid out in these hounties.
A significant fact shown by the report
is that the amount SO paid out has
regularly increased each year. 1t is
said that, what with the bounty and
the value OF their hides, wolf-raising
could be carried on at considerable
profit. -Picayune.
