RED CROSS IN NAVY.
A NEED WHICH MODERN WAR;
FARE AT SEA HAS CREATED.
Care for the Wounded Inadequate
Red Cross Hospital Ships
Should Follow the Big
Sea Fighters.

Are the chances of the wounded at sea
to-day much better than they were
hundred years ago? In some respects
it may be doubted: for whilst surgical
skill has increased greatly, so has the
destructive power of the guns; and mod
ern mines and torpedoes introduce new
element of utter humiliation in the
space of minute or so that belongs en-
tirely to ironclad warfare, and has no
counterpart in the old battles, save in
the rare instances when a battlGship
blew up, like L Orient at the Nile. Taken
altogether, mans chances are smaller
than they were in the more leisurely bat
ties of long ago. And in spite of the hor-
rible roughness of surgery in those days,
their modern comrades in suffering,
Surgeons then were blunderers COM
pared with those of to-day, and the mer-
cy Of an anaesthetic was unknown-it
is not wise to follow the via dolorosa to
those old cOckpits too clOsely-but at
least they could collect and dress their
wounded in comparative security. The

ters all this, for with it's numberless
Compartments, divisions, and water
tight doors (all of which would be closed
in action), it would be almost impossi-
BILE to remove the wounded from the
place where they received their hurts to
a place of safety where they could be at
tended to.
But now the destroyer, the torpedo
boat, and, under certain conditions, the
submarine, has brought new element
of terror into naval war. A certain
school of young officers in the new navy
pin their whole faith to these weapons,
and are rc.dy to prove their faith with
daring, contemptuous facing of dark
dangers, that is almost inconceivable to
the average shore-going mind. And it
is fact that battleship may be ami

seas, in less time than it took to back

Shun Men.

On a small island in the Greek
archipelago there is a colony which Is
composed entirely of women. 1t is a
sort of religious, order which considers
it disgrace for one of it's members
to even look at a man. When fish
erman approaches the island, the wo-
men pull the gray cowls of their cas-
socks over their heads and turn their
backs. Provisions are never import
ed, as the women, strict vegetarians
grow their own products. Only the
matron, who is annually elected head
Of the colony, is ever allowed to leave
the island. The others remain there
all their lives, taking their turn at
filling the soil, washing and house.

the topsails of an old first-rate, as has
been desperately proved by the Russian
Petropavlovsk and the japanese Hat
suse.
The loss of life in land warfare has
considerably decreased, in spite of the
increased range and accuracy of artil-
lery. But the proportion of loss at sea is,
if anything, rather greater, as Mr. H. W.
Wilson makes plain in "Ironcla;Ss in Ac-
tion,' WHICH was, Of course, written be-
fore the present RussQ-Japanese war
lent emphasis to his statements. Itgoes
without saying that the heaviest loss al
ways falls upon the losing side At the
battle of LISA in 1866 and at the Yalu
in 1894 the greater number of men lost
their lives through drowning. This will
always occur when battleship comes
by her end either by ram, torpedo, or ex-
plosion, instead of being simply beaten
to standstill by the fire of her enemy's
guns
The moral to be drawn from this is
simple. Battleships are built for de-
struction, and it is out of their power in
an engagement to turn aside to save life
Behind the fighting line on shore follow
the ambulance and the Red Cross. Sure
ly they are equally needed at sea!
1t is somewhat striking fact that the
British navy is only provided with one
hospital ship-the Maine-and that ship
was presented to the admiralty by the
Atlantic Transport company and the
ladies of America. it is only quite re-
Gently that the British admiralty have
taken any steps towards solving the
problem presented by the. naval
wounded. 1t is most necessary that such
an essential thing as first aid'' should
be taught to f1eetmen. If an hour or two
each week were taken from the cleaning
of paint work, and devoted to learning
how to stop bleeding from an artery or
how to prevent simple from becoming
a compound fracture, many lives and
limbs might be saved when 1.-The real
thing" comes.
All this is from the point of ivew of
the treatment of the wounded in the bat
tleships Observation-Disclosures which.
at the best, can only be of temporary
description; for, as has been seen, the
arrangements on board battleship for
dealing with the wounded are quite in
adequate. After an action there would
be great need of small vessels bearing a
Red Cross flag to pick up the drowning
and relieve the fighting ships of their
burden of wounded-in fact, to play the
part of the ambulance on shore. OF
course. there would be difficulties in the
way of voluntary aid in the form of Red
Cross ships, for to be of any use after a"
engagement they would have to keep in
touch with the men-of-war and yet clear
of the very extensive zone of IRE of mod
ern guns: Above all, they would have
to be properly auth orized and recognized
by both sides. .+

The courts are nnally rid of that
nasty case in which VIM. Vaughan
and Chas. Gunnel were charged with
fornication, the former being convict

The case was tried before a jury COM

had the matter submitted to them
Friday evening. There was a hitch
as to an agreement, and a verdict was
not announced until Saturday morn

defense asked that sentence be defer

granted.
