Every soldier and officer in the army

Each Wounded Man Tagged.
A set of tags is also a part of the
equipment and on these are written
instructions as to the condition of the
patient. At the top there is red

ing automobiles. farm wagons or am
munition wagons into service. These
wagons go to the front filed and when
they are returning to the base OF sup
plies they can be made to act as ambu-
lances by being padded in the bottom
with straw. The wounded are sent IN
this way to the Evacuation Hospital,
which consists of four field hospitals
combined with an accommodate for
four hundred and thirty-two patients.
Evacuation Hospital A Reality.
Heretofore the Evacuation Hospital
in the United States Army existed only
on paper, but now one has become
a reality and has been organized at
Texas City, These evacuation hos
pitfalls are to be located at points ac-
cessible to railroad tracks from which
points the patients may be evacuated
by train TO the base hospitals. The
hospital trains as authorized by the
Medical Department, will have a ca
pacity of two hundred patients. eight
cars being used for that purpose
Medical Department Prepared
Whether there is to be war or not
to be war the Medical Department of
the United States Army is going to be
prepared for even the mere occupation
of any part of Mexico is sure to be at
tended with more or less sickness de-
spite the fact that every place where
our army might be located will be
speedily put in sanitary condition.
The Hospital Corps, while always pre-
pared for emergencies, are making a
special study of field work and drills
are held freOuently The s,,rgeops ~
the army are always busy men at any
time, but doubly so at present. Great
quantities of medical stores have been
laid In, and it is safe to say that the
soldier who is wounded or falls a vic
tim to disease while fighting under tho
Stars and Stripes will receive the most
prompt and best medical attention
science can afford.
Major Paul c. Hutton, through
whose courtesy the accompanying
photos were taken, Is regarded as one
of the most eminent surgeons In the

The dressing station Is usually located
at some protected point behind hill
half a mile or more in the rear of
the firing line. At this point the
wounded receive food and stimulants
such as broth, coffee chocolate, etc.
a kitchen being attached to the dress
ing station where some sort of food
IS always in readiness for injured sol
diers. At this point the bandages are
readtusted and broken bones re-
splinted in order that the patients may
be transported to the field hospital
located from one to three miles dis
tant at some sheltered point. Each
field hospital accommodates one hun
dred and eight patients but can be
made to hold two hundred and six
teen in great emergency. There are
four Of these field hospitals for each
division-one behind each brigade and
one in reserve which can be set I'D on
the field after the battle-the hospitals
going to the wounded in place Of the
wounded coming to them thus saving
the pain of transportation. All sorts
of operations can be performed here.
Abdominal Operations Avoided In
Field.
II is not the pOllCN OF the Medical
Department of the United States Army,
however. to do abdominal operations
at a field hospital unless 1t is highly
important. Contrary to the experience
OF some of the European armies the
experience of our surgeons has been
that patients with abdominal wounds
do better under expectant treatment
than when operated upon In field hos
pitfalls where the wounds cannot be
altogether protected from dust which
may blow in.
After the wounded man has reached
the field hospital he is sent back by
the line of communication over which
the supplies reach the army at the
front. The transportation column is
commanded by Major Of the Medical
Department with five assistants. No
special vehicles are authorized for use
by this column, but the commanding
officer is supposed to get such trans
portation as he may need by Impress

nation would not fire on Hospital
Corps man it is a well-known fact that
many of them were killed, perhaps
unintentionally, during the Japanese
Russian War, and in the Balkan trou-
bles as well.
Men who are in action must not
leave the lines to attend To the
wounded unless they are lighting an
uncivilized nation and the battle Is
going against them. The Hospital
Corps alone is expected to handle the
wounded. They are also charged with
the duty OF looking after matters Of

The Method Of making Photographs from
Aeroplanes and Balloons How These
Pictures May Change History.

~ HE science of photography has
~ kept pace with the progress of
the age, and new types Of lens,
w. shutters and plates with a rapid
emu lston have made It possible to
photograph anything at any time and
anywhere Photography really plays
very important part in Illustrating
interesting current events for 1t Is
used In so many ways instructive as
well as entertaining. In the early days
II was merely the taking Of poor
quality Of portraits Then when the
Civil War came on and battlefield
photograp hs were made the pictures
we're regarded as wonders, and won
ders they were when one thinks Of
the labor required to make them, for
tha pflotogra pher had to sensitise both
his plates and paper. Then too, he
required sunlight for printing and a
few rainy days played havoc with his
plans. Compare this with the photog-
rapher of today who does not Of
necessity carry even tripod. All he
does with his plates is to load them
In the holders and they are ready.
Els paper Is already prepared and
eren the chemicals which he uses to
develop II are put up In tubes to
whtoh merely water Is added. He no
longer needs sunshine for his print
ing--tn fact, he prefers gas or cleo
uicity. Half an hour will suffice in
getting a print ready If it is a case
Of rush copy. The editor will no
longer accept bad weather as an ex-
cnse for failure to get the scene of
some important event because there Is
a camera lens and plate made which
are equal to photographing anything
except events on a foggy day. Even
ON these days some very good effects
have been obtained.
When aeroplanes came into fashion

there was much discussion as to
whether or not successful pictures
might be made during flights and
photograph were eager to try this
out. Picture making from free bal
looms had been in a way successful
but aeroplaning was different. The
popular camera used by newspaper
photographers Is of the rejecting type
and Is totally unfit for aerial photog-
raphy owing to the fact that one must
look In the hood at the top. This is
almost an impossibility while sitting
IN an aeroplane. Such thing is, how
ever, possible when flying in one of
the flying boats for if necessary the
passenger may stand up in these 1ers
AS all objects are over one hundred
feet from the machine what Is known
as fixed focus camera can be used
or, better still, the camera can be set
for distance. This, of course, need
not be changed during the fight and
the operator has only the plates or
films to manage.
Plates Preferable,
Plates are always preferable be-
cause they are sure to lay fiat while

Is not always the case as the writer

from balloons. but does not recon-

~ ALI. the men in the United
states Army who go to war the
truly heroic are the Hospital
" Corps-the men who are always
in the midst Of battle yet are nom
combatants, They mingle with the
fighters and are in Just as much danger
as the men on the skirmish line, for
they face the enemy without returning
the fire. Theirs is the mission of
mercy, to succor the dying and bind
Up the wounds Of the men who fall be-

They rarely carry firearms of any sort
unless they are among savage races

wounded. Under these circumstances
only are they issued arms.
Enlist For This Purpose.
The men Of the Hospital Corps en-
list IN this special branch of the serv-
tre and go through a regular course
OF training-in fact. they go to school
for they recite certain lessons and are
given marks. These studies consist of
first aid to the injured, cooking for
the sick, sanitation. physiology, anat-
omy, hygiene, the diagnosis of dis
eases and injuries and treatment both
medical and surgical and the scientific
handling and transportation of the
injured. They must be also competent
drivers. After they have become pro-
ficdent in these things they are ready
for the front and in case of war are
sure to see active service, for the

Corps are always with the line. Each

SHIFTS
AT THE SHELTER
Beginning March I, Regular Crews
VIII Be Changed Three Times IN
stead of Twice in a Hours.


An eight-hoUr work schedule will
be put into effect at the Ell Paso
smelter on March I. The COMPANY in
a statement, says the work has been
on 12-hOur scale IN the past be-
cause competition was largely with
lead shelters in Mexico, which worked
such scale of hours. Now, how
ever, 1t is said the smelling is mostly
copper and 1t has been decided to run
the regular crews of men in three
shifts of eight hours each instead of
two l2-hOur shifts. This is the Drac-
tlce followed generally in Arizona,
the statement says. The company was
considering such a change some time
ago, the statement declares but "ac-
ton in this matter was delayed last
year on account of the strike which
occurred after a general advance in
wages had been given the laborerS,
without any demand having been re-
ceived from them"
The statement continues:
Men doing common labOring work
have been receiving for a 12-hour
shift $40 and in addition thereto Csc
bonus if they are steady rvorBmen,
making a total of S1.65. The pay for
this work on an 8-hour shift will be
SL5O without any bonus, this being
She rate which is customary in Ari-
iona shelters for such work.
No demands whatever have been
received from the men, and the change
IS entirely voluntary on the part of
the company, the directors taking
this action because they believe in
view Of the changed conditions, it is
right and fair to the men. The rates
paid are very liberal because at the
present time it is estimated there are
from 1000 to 5000 unemployed men in
FL PasO who would be glad to work
for S125 a day; this rate is being paid
