Of the present wsr to Tribune representative
This striking utterauce BY one of the greatest
surgeons in New York briefly expresses the spirit
which in recent years has dope much to rob war
Of many of its horrors. The men in the field are
still obliged to endure the most terrific sort OF
hardships, but their suffering is much less than
was experienced by the soldiers in the wars OF
The past.
Improved conditions are due to the work Of the
microscopist, as Dr. Morris went on to show. The
sntiseptic treatment Of wounds, which will great
~ lessen the mortality from such injuries has
been made possible only by the work Of the bac-
teriologists. These scientists have isolated and
described the various bacilh which caused the

HAND GRENADE MANGLES VICTIM AND

There is one form of weapon whose injuries
if at all serious are frequently beyond the skill
Of the best doctors This is the hand grenade.
II was in the Russo-Japanese War that THESE
first became important They consist Of small
tin tubes with a cord by which to throw them
They are filled with special varieties of powder
which not only explode with terrific force, out

is near the point at which one eXplodes is nor
riby mangled and the hurts arc complicated ov
the chemicals from the powder Hand grenades
have been used in several battles of this war
but no details as TO the result have been OBJ
tanned
The field hospital outfits Of the European ia
lions are almost identical with each other and
with those of the United States. Dr. H. Sher-
dan Baketel, who is the treasurer Of the Medical
Reserve Corps of the United States army, de-
scrbed them to the Tribune representative. DR..
Baketel has Just returned from Europe, where he
went to attend the Clinical Congress of Surgeons.
He was present during the mobilization of the
German troops.
The field hospitals are marvels of compact de-
tail. A regulation unit has medical and surgical
supplies equal to any lOObed civil hospital, but
everything is so perfectly arranged that it can
be packed in seven or eight wagons and weighs
only about ten tons. The operating room consists
of tent about fifteen feet square. 1t is supplied
with an scetyene generator and lighting outfit,
sterizer and complete list of surgical in
struments and accessories that any major oper-
alton can be performed without the slightest diff
fculty.
Each unit has diSpensary, with all sorts Of
medical supplies, including tablets and fluid ex-
tracts of almost everything in the Pharma-
copGia. There is also plentiful supply OF anti
septics and dsinfectants, hospital stores and such
things as atomizers, cruches, eye shades fracture
boxes, mortars, litmus paper and elastic bandages.
Besides all this, there is library Of from twenty
to thirty standard textbooks a microscope and
complete outfit and other instruments Of pre-

will prove TO be Of the sort which lend them
selves most readily to medical treatment.
Unfortunately, shrapne is playing great part
H. the conflict. SO important has it become that
It forms 80 per cent Of the ammunition of all the
artillery now in the field In the Balkan War
skrapnel caused from Is to 10 per cent of the in
iuries and shrapne wounds are hard to treat.
thrce-inch ffteen-p pound shell contains 252 lead
balls half an inch in diameter. When it eXplodes
these arc spread over fan-shaped area with
deadly force while the steel OF the shell itself
splits into fragments. The average number Of
those which are effective is 500 At distance o,
$500 yards the velocity of the shell plus that
added by its explosion gives the shot and broken
fragments a speed of 865 feet second. This
relatively low velocity, combined with the irregu-
lar shape, raises great Jagged wounds, which
make many amputations necessary.
As one of the officers put it: "The effect o.
sbrapnel is so terrific that where there is much
artillery fire the form of bullets used in rifles
does not seem of much Importance. A few well
handled 6O-pounders utterly annihate reg
ment in a few minutes"
Even the terrible effects of shrspnel fire will be
survived by many because of prompt surgical
treatment In speaking of the Oldtime soft bull
lets DR.. Morris said:
at was not the terrible impact or the injury to
the tissues of the oldtime bullet which caused
most of the trouble, but it was what got into the
hurt afterward Microbes had full sway Now
they are kept out entirely. Under sanitary con
ditons even the jagged, lacerated wounds caused
by shrapnel can be cured II no vital organs are
affected"
