Increased Power His as Result Of
War In the East.
The comparison Of losses sustained
ty the Japanese In the hardest fought
war Of history. and that BY our army
in the picayune difference with Spain,
shows in glaring colors the difference
between a scientific and a merely
technical administration. II In any
future war which we may have the
misfortune to engage our hospital
losses are not sensibly diminished 1t
will be because of small jealousy of
the surgeon on the part of the field
and line officers, and a persistence in
traditions and observances which
have been proved harmful in theory
and practice. That officer who sacri.
fees the lives of his men for the
maintenance of his own importance
will be Just subject for court-mar
tial in the future. AS q fighter he IS
to remain in supreme command, but
as a planner of camps and as super
visor Of sanitation he is to resign in
favor of those who have studied these
matters.-Brooklyn Eagle.
