THE LANCE IN WARFARE.
Mt Present 1t Is Not Very Dangerous
Wounds Can BE Easily
Cured
When the war in the Transvaal broke

When the war in the Transvaal broke
out DR.. Frederick Schaffer, a distin
guished German army surgeon, OBJ
tanned permission to accompany the
British troops. his object being to ascer-
tain to what extent the lance is effect
i've as weapon in war. During the
campaign he devoted his entire atten-
ton to this subject. and now he has re-
turned home and forwarded to his gov
eminent an official report thereon.
In it he says that wounds caused by a
lance are not dangerous and are easily
cured, and that the reason is because
the iron point of the weapon is round
and therefore passes through the or
gans of the body without injuring them
to any great extent. Being such a
humane weapon" he points out, 'the
lance Is by no means as valuable in war
as is generally supposed. Neverthe-
less it can be made a dangerous weapon
by merely changing the form of its
point, and If the military authorities
decide to retain it as "a portion of the
equipment of cavalry this should GER
tainly be done"
This suggestion is exciting good
deal of comment In Europe. The
Frankfort Gazette, apparently appalled,
at the thought Of Transforming q hui
name weapon into a cruel one, says sar-
castically' I'VE propose that the point
of the lance be made of such shape
that it will lacerate every organ in the
body and render the cure of every
wound utterly impossible Further
more, it Will be well for the authorities
to seriously consider the advisability
of impregnating the point of the lance
with some deadly poison"
