MODERN WAR is MERCiFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound
ed Are Given a Fair Chance
to Recover to Health.

A general impression is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss of life and greater pain
are caused. The view is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless 1t Is o.
the soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful. and either kills outright or
gives its victim a fair chance Of re-
covery. 1t does not, as rule. mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical
ly unknown 60 years ago, and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but it is far more eff
fective than in the pre-Lister days.
Rapidity of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres
ent war it is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying in Brit
ish hospital within "a hours Of re-
ceiving their wounds. II the risk of
being hit is greater, the chances of
recovery from injury have been i'm
mensely increased

"Blotches like ringworms started to
come out all over my face and neck.
Later it took the form of white fakes
and when would rub they came OF in
little white scales. The eczema SO
disfigured me that / was ashamed

my face the least bit wet. 1t would

The more l rubbed or scratched the

ing generally develops. One side
gains an advantage only to lose it
when the pther side brings up re-
enforcements.
While England paid homage to Lord
Nelson on the anniversary of the bat
tie of Trafalgar. the forces of Germany
and the Allies continued to fight back
and forth along the battle line in
France and Belgium to the south from
trenches, woods and villages, and to
the north over a web of waterways,
the presence of which seems likely to
give the struggle there the name OF
the battle of the canals.
Heavy Rains Along Coast.
Torrential rains have been falling
recently near the scene of the coast
fighting, making the flat country
sea of mud. and this. with the net
work of canals, makes the movement
of German guns extremely difficult.
The Germans, however, are still
bringing up re-enforcements, mes
sage from Amsterdam saying that
troops are steadily moving westward

ward the French frantier. 1t was
added that the men were of all ages
and were accompanied by heavy guns,
supposedly for Ostend.
French Hold Eastern Line.
The French still hold the eastern
frontier fortress line, although a
number of barrier forts have fallen. A
letter from a German officer who was
before Toul describes the art with
which the French defend every yard
before and between the fortresses. The
French infantry is sheltered in three
story trenches The bomb proofs, even
in the infantry positions, are rooted
with concrete, against which all ex-
cept the heaviest shells are ineffec-
tive. Cannon in disappearing armored
turrets answer the continued German

successful.
The pajamas will not be fancy and
will not contain ribbons and elaborate
trimmings, but they will be service
able. The night garments probably
will be made of material similar to
that used for overalls and jumpers.
The purpose OF the pajamas equip
ment is to provide the dodgers with
coverings during the night. while their
clothing is being sterilized. The cots
used are of steel, and no bed clothing
