Manager Watts baseball club, which
played series OF games with Milan last
weekend, had nothing but praise for
Milan s hospitality and Milan 8 sporting
spirit, in spite OF the fact that they were
badly beaten in the two games. They
we're so cordially welcomed and taken
care Of that they did not lose heart at
not making score in the first days
game.
The people Of Milan enjoy baseball;
they have good park and the. people
come out to the games. They are not
backward about donating little money
towards keeping up their baseball club,
their players are salaried and it is to the
credit OF the Union City men that they
succeeded in making the few scores off
the practiced Milan nine, who keep in
good form by training. Mike Harrel,
OF Memphis, who has been laid off the
Memphis club for a rest but was taken
back Monday, pitched for Milan in the
two games and it evidently takes some
pluck for club with as little oppor-
tunity for practice as ours to stand up
against professional who pitches like
a streak Of grey creased lightning.

position as to hide the operations of

has proved of tnestimable value In

The flying has been continued day

might have located the Japs and their
work and saved the Russians at least
from the great loss which occurred In
the battle that followed. Perhaps. in
deed, an aeroplane might have turned
this war into Russian victory. Again.
when the Spanish fought the Moors
in Morocco an aeroplane sent out from
Mellia could undoubtedly have located
the Moors In their ambush In the
hills. Photographs of these places
would certainly have prevented the
slaughter Of the Spaniaros which oc-
CURED SO many times. Spain was
compelled to depend upon Moorish
spies for her information and these
were far from reliable. On one &C.
CASTOR the Moors dressed up number
Of dogs in white muslin in order to
draw the fire of the Spaniards. They
succeeded and then surrounded and
slaughtered whole company of
Spanish soldiers. An aeroplane would
without question have prevented this.
During the war between Turkey and
italy the air scouts shopping" about
located the enemy time and again, and
on several occasions prevented battles
from taking place In which thousands
OF lives might have been sacrificed
Again. photography played It's part In
the Balkan War. when n magnificent
Of the Battle of Adrianople
WAS made by a Bulgarian air scout.
This picture was actually taken while
the battle was in progress. The scout
then flew back 10 the Bulgarian head
quarters and reported the strength Of
the Turkish forces, In the end
Adrianople fell and the Turks were
defeated, and who can deny that the
information brought by the flying
man did not figure largely In the
victory.

Some times a stretcher IL used and
ut others the man is carried on the
back of one OF the Hospital Corps in
such n manner as the exigencies OF
the case demand. These men are
taught just how TO handle the wound
ed in the most comfortable way to
the injured man. Frequently a badly
shattered limb must be bound up at
once and this is sometimes done by
bandaging the limb and then using a
rifle and bayonet as splints; straw.
grass or anything soft which can be
found nearby is used as padding
between the inside bandages and the

broken bones from grinding together

only is used. Very often the splints

OF operations can be performed here.
After the wounded man has reached
the field hospital he Is sent back by
the line of communication over which
the supplies reach the Army at the
front. The transportation column Ia
commanded by Major OF the Medical
Department with Ave assistants. No
special vehicles are authorized for use
by this column. but the commanding
officer Is supposed to get such trans
portatton as he may need by impress
ing automobiles. farm wagons or am
munition wagons into service. These
wagons go to the front Allied and when
they are returning to the base OF sup
plies they can be made to act as ambu-
lances by being padded in the bottom
with straw. The wounded are sent in
this way to the Evacuation Hospital.
which consists Of four field hospitals
combined with an accommodation for
four hundred and thirty-two patients.
Evacuation Hospital A Reality.
Heretofore the Evacuation Hospital
in the United States Army existed only
on paper. but now one has become
reality and has been organized 1t
Texas City. These evacuation hos
pitfalls are to be located at points ac-
cessible to railroad tracks from which
points the patients may be evacuated
by train to the base hospitals Tho
hospital trains as authorized by the
Medical Department, will have q ca
pacity of two hundred patients, eight
cars being used for that purpose.
Major Paul c. Hutton. through
whose courtesy the accompanying

The bolo knife comes into use here,
as by its aid any kind of wood can
be chopped into splints. A wound in
the head must be quickly bandaged.
The tourniquet is. of course. used to
stop hemorrhages. Anomalies spirits
of ammonia Is frequently used as a
stimulant. In extreme cases first aid
has been given just outside the firing
line. However, the Hospital Corps
makes every effort to reach the first
aid station with the wounded Here
the responsibility of the regimental
personnel ceases. At this station first
aid bandages are applied and the hem
orrhages are stopped. nothing further
being attempted there.
1t then devolves upon tho Ambu-
lance Corps to transport the patients
to the dressing station or to the field
hospital---in many instances to both.
The dressing station is usually located
at some protected point behind hill
half mile or more In the rear OF
the firing line. At this point the
wounded receive food and stimulants,
such as broth. coffee. chocolates, ETC..
a kitchen being attached to the dress
ing station where some sort of food
Is always in readiness for injured SOL
diers. At this point the bandages are
readjusted and broken bones re-
splinted in order that the patients may
be transported to the field hospital
located from one to three miles dis
tant at some sheltered point. Each
field hospital accommodates one hum
dred and eight patients but can be
made to hold two hundred and six
teen in great emergency. There are
four OF these field hospitals for each
division--one behind each brigade and
one in reserve which can be set up on
the field after the battle-the hospitals
going to the wounded in place OF the
wounded coming to them thus saving
the>pain of transportation. All sorts
