The Baroness Won Groyss, who is now

head a party OF Austrian and Hungarian
women to go to the front as nurses. She
is experienced in such work, having given

In the American civil war eight soldiers
died Of disease to one from wounds.
Experts expect that in the present gen
eral European struggle not more than
three will fall victim to sickness to one
killed on the field Of battle.
Such is the advance Of army santa
ton and army surgery in fifty years. The
Americans and the Japanese have been
the leaders. The United States army
hospitals have installed many remarkable
Innovations since the Spanish American
war with its dreadful lesson in the
danger OF typhoid and these new ideas
have been adopted by the army surgeon
of old world powers.
So is is expected that the present war,
the greatest yet in history also will be
the most humane There will be no dis
proportionate mortality list from disease
and no army Of cripples as an after
math. 49,
The modern high-power, quick-nring
military rifle and the development in
artillery will have much to do with the
change. - r-
Those who die win die more quickly.
Gangrene and infection will be practi-
cally unknown quantities, it Is thought.
Before the Russo-Japanese conflict the
aEmies the world over used high caliber
bullet. made Of unsheathed lead and
creased to overcome friction in the bar
rel .s
The muzzle velocity was less than half
that of the missiles now employed.
Then, too, bayonet and saber charges
were more common. These resulted in
hideous wounds, very dihlcult for sur
geons TO handle.
The bullets which are flying in Europe
today are OF less diameter than the ordiE
nary lead pencil They are jacketed with
nickel, lead or steel, and have tremend-
Gus velocity.
The soft, mushrooming bullet OF the
old day resulted in the shatering Of bones
and the crushing. rather than cutting, Of
tissues. Infection was aAmost inevitable,
the grease being especially Vnsanitary.
A wound in the abdomen was considered
necessarily fatal The death rate among
the wounded was enormous,

10 go. II is doubtful II they will ever get
across the ocean. The question OF the
men giving UP positions with the expecta-
tion of being called to. the front Is one
we are anxious TO combat"
Many of the men who have shown a
disposition to go will have to leave wives
and children without means Of support.
To meet that situation both Hungarians
and Austrians are raising a relief fund
for the families left destitute through
the fathers and sons answering their
country's call.
At the Hungarian consulate
many women have registered in the hope
Of doing Red Cross service. Many
women are anxious 10 go along with
their husbands. and will use this as a
means OF realizing their wish.
All OF New York's foreign-born women
are planning Red Cross aid for their own
countries. French. Germans, Servians
Austrians and Hungarians are registering
and planning to care for those who may
