with the added advantage Of facing ire from
small calibre hgh-power rifles. il Is not sur
prising that military men were startled by the
results. The treatment of wounds with simple
antisepticS was so successful that hardly man
was lost through sepsis, which in former wars
had carried off thousands who were only slightly
injured In fact less than per cent of the
wounded were treated in the field, and were never
admitted to the hospital tents. In other words,
. per cent Of those struck by bullets were out
of the fight for only a few hours In most
the recovery Of those treated in the hospitals
was proportonatcly rapid. Contrasted with the
heilish scenes in the hospitals Of the Civil War
and the Franco Prussian War the condition Of
wounded men in the japanese camps seemed posi-
lively cheerful.
But it was not in the Of the wounded alone
that the Japs showed the way. They were equally
successful in suppressing the epidemic diseases
which usually break out in army camps As in
the case Of the injured, this was not because Of
any phenomenal brilliance on the part of the
medical officers in charge, but was rather due
to simple following out of the sanitary rules
which had been worked out in Europe and She
United States
MEDICAL CORPS LARGELY RESPONSIBLE
FOR JAPANESE SUCCESS.
Japan proved conclusively that without any
question Of humanity it pays to have the best
possible medical equipment with armies in tha
field. Leaving out of consideration the great
physical handicap under which Russia fought be
of the distance between the scene of opera
tons and her base of supplies il may be said that
the medical corps of the japanese army was
largely responsible for the success Of the Mikado's
forces.
THE great powers Of Europe recognized thi,
fact and instantly set about improving their medi-
cal arrangements They saw that the very frs,
application Of modern medical principles to war
fare had been Of inestmablc value and every
energy was bent on building up this powerful arm
Of the service. The terrible losses which have
taken place in the battles already fought are prob
ably taxing the medical corps to the utmost, but
It is safe to say that conditions are better than
they have ever been before.
IF any further object lessons were needed
they were furnished by the Balkan War The
states involved in that conflict were backward
ores, and the medical departments of their armies
had been sadly neglected. Statistics show that
The ratio Of killed to wounded was as to 2I7
What this high rate really means is that thou
sands of men, with hurts from which they should
have recovered died through lack of proper
facilities for their care In the present war this
will not be the case. Thousands Of wounded sol
ders will not only recover, but they will be SO
completely cured as to suffer no after effects
IAN example of the almost miraculous cures
which can sometimes be effected is found in the
Of John Gretzer d private in a Nebraska
volunteer regiment engaged in the Philippines
