THE HE'LL OF WAR,
Disease More Deadly Than Bullets,
Kills Four Times as Many.

The splendid achievement Of
scientific medicine In civil life in the
prevention OF disease, should be even
more effectually obtained In an
army, where only healthy men are
accepted, and vigorous outdoor camp
life should keep its units, who are
subject to strict military discisline.
In perfect physical condition. Fnalth
alone. however, Is no guarantee
against the insidious attack OF the
silent foe that fingers In every camp
and bivouac. says an article in APP
ords of war for the past 200 years
have proved. that Is responsible for
four times as many deaths as the
guns OF the enemy. to say nothing
OF the vast number temporarily In
valided or discharged as UNIT for
DUTY.
1t Is the dreadful unnecessary sac
rifice OF life from preventable dis
eases that constitutes the hell OF
war today. In the Russo-Turkish
war the deaths from battle casual
ties were 10000. while those from
disease were $4,000; in our great
civil conflict. Of the nearly 100000
men who perished on both sides,
about 100000 were sacrificed to
disease to 100000 from battle cas-
ualties.
In recent campaign OF the
French in Madagascar $4,000 men
were sent to the front. Of whom
29 were killed in action and over
1000 perished from prevent
able diseases. In the Boer war In
South Africa the English losses were
ten times greater from disease than
from the bullets of the enemy. In
our recent war with Spain IL lives
were needlessly sacrificed to ignor-
ance and incompetency for every
man who died on the firing line or
from the result of wounds.
That the monstrcus sacrifice OF
| 80 per cent is almost totally unnec-
essary, was abundantly proved In
the records of the Japanese war,
where 100000 men were sent to
the front, in country notoriously
unsanitary. and only $1,000 men
diec from disease to $4,000 who fell
In the legitimate line Of duty on the
field of honor. This because the
japanese had a properly equipped
medical and sanitary department,
whose officers were empowered to
enforce proper sanitation and hy-
giene.

officials of the road believe this is a
most opportune time to move in the
matter, as the many men out Of en-
ployment and anxious for work makes
IL comparatively safe for the company

While no formal orders or written
instructions have been issued, w. w.
Atterbury, general manager, has given
his subordinate officers clearly to
understand that men active in fur
thering new unions are not wanted

ranted to stand the test of DR.. Wiley's poisoning
squad.
However, there is one supposed difficulty
which does not seem to have bothered the ma
chine men, If Mr.. Tafts new speeches for the
instruments are as long was his address OF ac-
ceptance and if Mr.. Bryan tries TO compress
more than a million of the words he has used in
various speeches, fear that even Senator
Richardson's canning factory could not il called
upon, supply enough cans or cans sufficiently
large to hold the words.
IT, however, there are long speeches in the in
struments they may be put to practical use. Dur
ing the Addicks convention at Dover, always in
the front row were several aged delegates from
near lZoar, Omar or some other Sussex county
places How those old Yellowstone of whom

the resolutions And we believe they would lis
ten to a hve-hour canned speech by Judge Taft
with delight while tweny-hour timed address
by Bryan would not cause hair of their whis-
kers to blow towards the Democratic camps
There is another phase to this canned and NOV
ing picture business 1t is likely that the doinge
of statesmen may be preserved for future genera
tons and even in this generation. Think OF the
many political happenings in Delaware that
would now be 10y TO see, even in moving pic
ture. Who, for instance, does not recall the IA
nous Regular Republican convention at George
town. that stirring gathering when General VIII
son marched at the head of the column up
through the Sussex street with Mrs Smith as
body guard? Who can not recall the experiences
at Dover when Mr. Hastings announced his de-
parture from the convention, and Hugh Z.
Browne disappeared through trapdoor-and 1t
was large trap door? Suppose we had in NOV
ing pictures Addicks marching through Dover
followed by legion of supporters, and DR.. Lay
ton delivering his many addresses; the fight OF
Henry b. Thompson from Dover when Major
Mitchell announced that Senators Ball and Alice
were chosen And Mr.. Thompson, bless him,
how sorry we are that he is not still in the polti-
cal turmoil, canned or uncanned.
Then, again, John +. Salisbury, in defiant atti-
tude at the height of his glory in the Biggs con-
vention or the late Edward L. Martin at the con-
vention which nominated Governor Tunnel
when he told the bowling Wilmingtonians who
cried louder" that they would hear him before
he got through-and they did. And even down
to date that historic thunder of Mr.. Handy, when
the Hon Thomas +. Bayard flashed the Gray let
ter in the Dover convention should have been
preserved.
Many incidents of our political life, here in old
Delaware, might have been kept in machines
which arc now lost except to memory.
If the younger fellows could see them repro
duced, even by machines, they might be stimu-
lated to kick up a racket once in while them
selves.
