MAKE ONE EQUAL TO FOUR
American Army Officers Way of Ac-
counting for Victories of
the Japanese.

How Japan made n of her soldiers
equal to four Russians, is told by Mai.
Louis L. Seaman, a United States army
surgeon. The army and public are in
debted to Maj. Seaman, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, for the first detailed
information about the hitherto un-
equaled efficiency OF. the medical de-
'partments of the Japanese army and
navy, and in the article referred to he.
adds some important supplementary
information.
Ten years ago Japan began to pre-
pare for "a with Russia. 1t was esti~
mated that Russia would have some
100000 available soldiers, against
100000 for Japan. How. to equalizs
these forces in fighting efficiency was
the problem which confronted the. Jar-
anese general staff, AID in the solu~
ton of it the medical officers were q
most potent factor. It was known that
in war, generally speaking, four mer
die from disease to Il who succumbs
to wounds. Japan proposed to elimin.
ate disease, and Maj. Seaman tells how
they set about it and how admirably
they succeeded. His conclusion may
be summed up in the statement that
for the first six months of the war tho
Japanese loss from disease was only q
fraction of one per cent. Up to August
l 1852 cases had been received at the
Hiroshima reserve hospital from the
field. of whom $685. were wounded.
Of the total number up to that date
only "a had died. Quite as surprising
as the amazingly low death rate is the
fact that only about one-third of the
total cases were men suffering from
disease.
Japanese medical officers went in ed
vance of the troops, examined the water
supply and camping grounds and re-
moved conditions that threatened the
health of the troops. The work of the
surgeons Was thus confined mainly to
the permanent hospitals. Owing to the
"merciful" character of the modern
rifle most of the wounds were COM
paratively slight and most of the wound-
ed were soon in the ranks. First aid
treatment was sufficient to allow most
OF the wounded either to return to the
ranks or, at all events, to reach a base
hospital without calling on able-bodied
comrades for assistance. A veritable
revolution was wrought in the military
branch of the healing art. :
The japanese while protecting them
selves succeeded in turning against their
foes all the microbes and kindred NOR
biflc agencies that have PLAYED such
havoc with armies. :

this lis a !morgue,'' but to Cheer him -
I*told him his head must be wrong, and
I pointed to about a hundred dried
corpses,, a thousand years old, II. a@cor~
ner, with grinning skulls all around,
and told. hin that was the ballet, and
told him to look at the leading dancer,
and asked him If she wasn't a beaut,
from Butte, Mont, and that killed dad.
He leaned against me, and said his
eyes must have%gone back on him, be-
cause everything looked dead to him..
/ told him he would get over 1t after
awhile, and to stay where he was while
i went and spoke to one Of the ballet
that was reckoning to me, and / left
him there, dazed, and went around q
corner and hid.
People were coming along with
torches, all the time, looking at the
catacombs and reading the inscrip-
tons cut in the rock, and after awhile
went back to where I left dad, and be
was gone, but after awhile I found him
standing up with the >stits. He was
glad to see me, and wanted to know It
I thought he was dead. I told him / was
sure he was alive, though he had a death
ly look on his face. "Well, sir" says
dad, II thought it was all over with
me, after you left, for a man came along
and moved me around, and took hold
under my arms and jumped me along
here by these stiffs, and told me if I
didn't stay where I belonged he would
break me up into bones, and throw me
into a pile, and 1 thought l would have
to do as the Romans do and stay here,
and before the man left me he reached
into my pocket and took my money,
and said | couldn't spend any money in
there where l was going to stay for a
million years, and, by gosh; I was so
petrifed l couldn't stop him from rob-
bling me. Say, Hennery ,Nthey will rob
you anywhere, ever in the grave, and
II this Catacomb show is over, and the
curtain has gone down, I want to get cat
OF here, and go to the Coliseum or the
Roman amphitheater, where the wild
beasts eat people alive.' And so we left
the Catacombs and went back to town,
and dad began to show life again.
Say, you tell the folks at home that
dad is gaining every day, and his va
cation is doing, him good. He has prom
ised to kill me for taking him to the
Catacomb show, but dad never harbofs
revenge for long, and I guess your lit
tie nephew will pull through. l wish
I had my skates, cause dad wants to go
to Russia. Yours,
HENNERY.
