After reeiting the marked advances
made by the military medical profess

many phases OF the profession In gen.
eral. Colonel Maus touched upon the
question Of titles and ranks for the
military surgeon.

Proper rank" he said, is essen

precedence on military courts. boards

functions in both army and navy.
Unfortunate as 1t may be, though
nevertheless true" he continued. mil
itary rank is actually necessary in the
military service. in order to maintain
social consideration in the uniformed
world"
Colonel Maus closed by emphasizing
the fact that the military surgeon Is
just as much of a soldier as the man
behind the gun, despite the popular
opinion In many quarters that the pro-
fessional link between the physician
in civil life and the medical officer
Of the army places the latter In the
class OF the physician rather than
that of the soldier.
What Soldier Really Is.

broad and humane definition of the
term soldier said Colonel Mans.
and that the uniformed officials who
build bridges and roads, provides arms,
Announcements clothes, medical care
and the like, are equally members
OF the militant force. equally neces-
sary in the great game OF war.
