Few Wounded Die.

In predicting that the rate of NOR
tality among the wounded in this
war will be the lowest known in his
tory, Sir William Osler is basing his
faith solely upon the Improvement
made in the medical service. While
the great military nations have COM
peted in creating and employing in
the field more destructive weapons,
to a large extent they have neutral
lied one another's efforts by provid-
ing for better care for the wounded
and sick.
Through barbarous neglect in the
Napoleonic days, 100000 French SOL
diers died of disease in the Peninsu-
lar campaign.
In the Boer war; in the Bri-
tish force of 20S.326, 5.776 men
were killed in battle and 2,10S died
of wounds. total of 1884, or about
II per cent. per thousand a year,
while 1920 died of disease, or
25.5S per thousand a year. In the
war with Russia. the japanese lost
in action "a per thousand a year,
an enormous proportion, and 25 per
thousand a year died of disease,
about the same as the British rate
IN Co,1th Africa Rut the most Strik-
ing fact in the Japanese records was
the low rate of mortality among the
wounded collected and transported
to the rear, which fell to little more
than 3 per cent. In Manchuria one
third of the wounded within a month
returned to the ranks.
