Every war has its neroines, yet
how little is said of them.
Leaving friends and relatives,
home and happiness and love and
luxury, they subject themselves to
work and watching, to publicity
and privation and to disease and
death, all for sweet charity's sake.
Their home comings will not be
heralded with beat of drum and
blast of trumpet; Congress will
not reward their tolls and vigils
with medals and promotions; but
soldiers dead and soldiers living
will never forget their gentle MN

The gross eXaggeratiOn OF the
distress alleged to have been

mortality lists Of our armies and
those of other nations in previous
wars. The surgeon-gGneral estl
mates the number Of deaths re
sulting from disease among the
soldiers of the late war at |, 800.
This is a great deal smaller per
cent, than the mortality resulting
from disease among the soldiers
of the Mexican war. The total
American force in the war with
Spain was about 250, 600, and the
number of deaths from disease
has been, up to date, three tifthS
of 1 per cent. This is remari.a-
