Ii would appear probable that in a
future war many of the wounds pro-
duced by the new projectile will be sur
gically less severe and prove amenable

TO infllct serious or fatal wounds at a
distance Of 5000 or 1000 yards. II is

between these two is likely to be. At
near ranges the explosive effects will

We may take it for granted that the
number OF wounded in proportion TO
the numbers engaged and actually un-

think We are justified in believ-
ing. although there is high authority
for contrary opinion, that the next war
will be more destructive to human life
-"bloodier." in fact, than any Of its
predecessors--and that the number OF
injuries, and in many cases the severity
of the injury, will be largely increased.

all been dispelled BY her successful

OF the republics of Central America will
involve the entire country between
Mexico and South America. 1t is also
believed that the result will be the con-

government. President Zelaya, of Mic
