Washington, Oct. An increase In
the death rate of the army from 1894
per thousand in 1901 to 15.49 per thou
sand in 1.uk Is shown in the annual re-
port OF Surgeon-General r. M. 'OReilly
for the fiscal year ending June 30. mis-
incr Ase is attributed to cholera which
caused 3.54 deaths per thousand. A
slight improvement appears in the ad-
mission rate for disease and injury
which declined from 1,791.59 per thou
sand in 1901, to 1,716.51 per thousand In
1902 Discussing other features Of the
health of the army Surgeon-General
O'Reilly's report says:
A New Racial Element.
"The enrolment of about 5000 ma
tive Filipino scouts having added
new racial element to the army, 1t be-
comes a matter of much interest to
study the comparative effects of dis
ease on them and on our white and
colored troops. For the whole army, at
home and abroad, during the year 1907
the white troops showed an admission
rate of 1,7O633 per thousand and a
death rate of 14.4O. The negro troops
had 1874 admissions and 24.11
deaths per Thousand, and the Malay
scouts 1,7O72l admissions per thousand
and 24.O4 deaths The white race there
fore gave the lowest figures in sick
ness and much the lowest mortality.
! The black race led in both, although
the Malay closely approached 1t III
death rate.
| FfIfpinOa Are Temperate.
The freedom of Filipinos from the
vice of drunknessess is strikingly
shown when we find that out of s.
NO men only three individuals were
| treated for alcoholism in one year, and
| that while white soldiers were admit
ted to sick report on account OF their
own misconduct in the use of aicohoi
at the rate Of PATS per thousand, and
colored troops at the rate OF lilo, the
MALAY scouts showed the extremely
small admission rate of O.62 per thou
sand.
Due to Abolishment of Canteen.
THE steadily-increasing prevalence
of venereal diseases is the most dls-
courasing feature in the sick report OF
the army. In 1902, $1,000 admissions
were from this cause alone, equivalent
to a rate of 1904 per thousand. Ad-
missions to sick report from alcohol
ism in 1902 were sligotly In excess OF
the number (including voluntaers) for
1901. A total number Of l $3.50 cases equiv
alent to 2265 per thousand,of strength
occurred. 1t is impossible not to at
