Nj plcAL BRANCH INADEQUATE,

WASHINGTON. Dec. ii,-surgeon Cen
crll sternbcrg. OF tho army, was heard
by rhe house committee on military affairs
today concerning the proposed increase in
the army,
General Stcrnberg said that the medical
branch OF tho army at no time had been
adequate, oven In time OF peace. Now
that II was proposed to expand the army
four-fold. the medical branch should bo
expanded at least throo-foid. lie urged
that the most essential need OF the medi-
cal corps was to have experienced men
quickly available for emergencies, The
want Of experienced medical officers had
bccn tho main trouble In the recent war.
The surgeon general he believed, should
bc given the rank Of general, although he
hardly expected Il to bo done.

THE AVIS
Chsistaaasted, St. Ceetx,
Wednesday, 18th August 1898.

The peace news enables us TO look at he
war between Spain and the United states
as n completed transaction. What is the
lesson which it teaches? When the war
commenced there was a prevailing suspicion
That it would Inst much longer than the
Americans expected. IN reality it has rot
lasted for four months, and there can be no
doubt that it's short duration has been owing
10 the astonishing and unexpected success
Of the American navy. Before the war be-
gnn the newspaper estimates of the two
navies put them nearly on a par. II the
Americans were q trihe ahead in the num-.
beers and armament Of their ships, the
Spauiards were ahead in regard to speed.
Hence the chances were looked upon as
about equal for the two combatante.
No sooner had the war commenced, howe
ever, than the Amer icon squadron in the
Pacific attacked anj utterly destroyed the
Spanish squadron in Manila Bay. A like
destruction Of Admiral Cervera's squadron
while trying TO escape from the harbour of
Santiago has shewn that the first great
success was no mere accident, but was
dependent upon a real difference in favour Of
Tho Americans. What was TINT difference ?
it must be plain that it was not in the
bravery of the combatants, on The other
hand it may be conced ID that the Americans
have proved themselves 10 be in possession
Of better guns. 1t is obvious, however,
FROM the accounts Of the fights, that the
great difference was in the shooting. The
Anne. leans have known how to aim, and
this again must have depended on superior
trimming.
Thus the great lesson Of this short war
is the old one, that superior appliances
well used must triumph. 1t is the same
in all departments Of life. In our sugar
Industry, for example, we must look around
to secure the best appliances Of every des-
c%ription, and then mast acquire skill in
the use Of them. We must learn to hit the
mil on the head, and besides that must
see that the hammer is heavy enough to
drive it and the nail hard enough to keep
straight while being driven.
