Large Versus Small wsrships.

One argument that has been made in
favor Of building a comparatively large
number of small warships rather than q
smaller number Of large vessels, with
large crews, is that the smaller ones afford
the greater number Of independent COM
mands and opportunities of training for
command. Between 1872 and 1888, &c sea-
going fighting ships were launched for the
British navy, varying I'm displacement be-
tween 43e and 1000 tons. and the number
Of men and officers in these ships ranged
from 50 in the smallest to 220 in the lar
gest. These ships were to be found all
over the world Admirals, captains and
leading officers OF today were all trained
in them, and splendidly trained. These
ships, however, have been displaced dur
ing recent years by larger vessels with
larger crews, making, for each command,
larger claims on naval estimates and on
the reserve Of men Some Of the foremost
authorities now lean to the opinion that
too much trust is placed In big ships and
guns and too little in the skill, enterprise
and valor which may be had in the direc-
ton and management Of ship Of moder-
ate size. To multiply such smaller ships
is TO multiply the chances of getting good
men in command Piling up armor and
guns condemns many such men TO SUBJ
ordination to their interiors -Cassier' 3

HOSTS OF WOUNDED.
HAVE Wrought In Battle By Modern Rifle
Bullets,

Lieutenant Colonel Forwood, deputy
surgeon general of the army at Washing
ION, says that the wounded in the war
with Spain will surpass all previous rec
ords because modern rifle bullets are dis
charged with such tremendous rapidity,
their trajectory is SO flat and their velocity
Is so great.
Colonel Forwood expresses an opinion
that great proportion of those hit by
projectiles in the present conflict will be
killed The modern rifle bullet cuts clean
ly through the tissues, severing blood YES
sells and is apt to produce fatal hemor-
rhages. On the other hand. those who sur
vire the first. effects Of their injuries are
likely to recover, inasmuch as the wounds
are so clean cut and their openings so
small as to close and heal readily. The
percentage 6 those permanently crippled
will be greatly reduced. The up TO date
projectilc is not affected as to shape even
by encountering bone, and it seldom re-
mains in the body.
Ono thing of which there is no apparent
doubt is the fact that the new style rifle
bullet at near ranges, within 800 yards
has quasi explosive effect, smashing
bones to splinters and hopelessly damag
ing internal organs. This effect is due to
the rapid revolution of the projectile.
There will be, then, an enormous num-
Der of wounded in o modern battle, such
as is sure to take place in the fight for the
heights in the neighborhood of Havana
1t will be necessary to remove the injured
out of the firing line This is the business
of the medical corps. In the height of the
engagement this cannot be accomplished,
| and the wounded must remain on the field
| until a slackening of fire permits the hos
pital men to approach. Ono embarrass-
ment in operations of this sort is likely to
arise from the extraordinary range of
modern guns, which arc sure to kill off "a
considerable percentage of the surgeons
and their assistants. A position in the
rear of the fighting line is no longer equiv
| alent to protection.
In the rear of each division of the Amer
| lean army there will be three first dress
ing places for emergency work. At q
considerable distance farther to the real
will be an ambulance station consisting OF
group of three tcnts-one for the recep
ton of wounded men, another for dressing
and third for operative work Still
farther again to the rear will be three field
hospitals, one corresponding to each of the
three brigades composing the division
Each field hospital will BE a tent in three
sections, affording accommodation for ACT
or more wounded, who will be laid OF
blankets
