DEATH RATE
IN ARMY
INCREASED
Last Year Il Was 15.49 Per
1000 Against 1894 in 1901.
ChOIsra ths Cause.

Washington, oct An increase IN the
death rate of the army from 1894 pei
thousand in 1901 to 15.49 per thousand ii
1902 is shown in the annual report oi
Surgeon General E. NJ O'Reilly for the
fiscal year ending June 30.
This increase is attributed to cholera
which caused S54 deaths per thousand
A slight improvement appears in the ad
mission rate for disease and injury which
declines from 50 per thousand in l90l
TO l7l65l per thousand in 1902. DISCUSSING
other features of the health OF the army
| Surgeon General o OReily's report says:
THE enrolment OF about 5000 native
Filipino scouts having added a new ra-
cial element 10 the army. II becomes a
matter of much interest to study the com
parative effects Nof disease on them and
on our white and colored troops For the
whole army at home and abroad during
the year 1902. the white troops showed an
admission rate of 100. 80 per thousand and
death rate of li.40.
The negro troops had 1897 "a admissions
ana All deaths per thousand and the
Malay scouts l70721 admissions per thou
sand and 24.40 deaths. The whole race.
therefore. gave the lowest figures I'm sick
ness and much the lowest mortality. The
black race led in both, although the Ma
lay closely approached II in death rate.
The freedom Of the Filipino from the
vice Of drunkenness is strikingly shown.
when we find that out of 800 men only
three individuals were treated for alco-
holism in one year and that while white
soldiers were admitted TO sick report on
account OF their own misconduct i'm the
use OF alcohol at the rate OF 24.7S per
thousand and colored troops at the rate
Of ll.70 the Malay scouts showed the ex-
tremely small admission rate of .02 per
thousand.
THE steadily increasing prevalence of
yenereal dispa is the most disCotlra Gin q
feature I'm the sick report OF the army
During 1902 1900 admissions were from
this cause equivalent TO a rate OF 1904
per thousand.
Admissions to sick report from alco-
holism In 1902 were slightly in excess OF
the number dncluding volunteers) for
1901. A total number OF 1880 cases equiva-
lent to q. .65 per thousand OF strength oc-
CURED. 1t Is impossible not TO attribute
large part OF the steadily increased
venereal disease OF the army TO the loss
OF the canteen where the soldier II he
so, desired could get his beer throughout
the month but was not subjected To the
temptations TO intemperance and vice
now attendant on the expenditure OF a
full months pay at the low resorts in
Testing the outskirts OF our military re-
servations.
"A slight dimunition OF insanity occur
red In the army during 1902 There were
1SS new cases. equivalent TO the admis-
sion rate OF LII per thousand which is al
most Identical with the decade 1901 to
1900"
