how many French and Russians. If
these figures may be accepted as ap-
proximately accurate, the number who
would have died of sickness, based on
the ratio of four to one, would have
been in excess of half million men,
not including the French and Russian,
whose battle losses have not been
made public.
1t is the opinion of eminent military
medical experts in this city, however,
that modern armies have such i'm
proved sanitary system the old pro-
portion of death through disease and
gunshOt will be shown to have materi-
ally changed when actual figures on
the casualties are known.
History reveals a terrible record of
military deaths through disease, and
the last great example of this was in
stanCed in our own war with Spain.
In that war more than thirteen of our
men were sacrificed to disease result
ing from sanitary ignorance and in
competency to every one who died in
battle.
In the Russo Turkish war occurred
another shocking case of loss of life
from preventable diseases. In this
struggle 10000 soldiers were killed on
the field of battle or died of their
wounds; $4,000 persisted from disease.
During six months of the Crimean cam
paign the allied forces lost $4,000 men
from sickness and but 1900 from the
fire of the enemy. Cholera was one
of the principal causes of this disas-
trous loss of life. Sometimes whole
regiments contracted the malady and
were completely wiped out. At that
time the nature of the disease was not
| understood, and precautions against
infection through water supplies and
food were not taken. Consequently a
single case might result in wholesale
| infection.
Cholera has long been the dread OF
armies operating in localities where
| the malady flourishes. 1t was apparent
| in the Balkan war, when both the
Turks and the allies lost heavily from
the disease. Eyewitnesses to that
struggle told of seeing marching col
umns from which every few minutes
men would drop and drag themselves
off to one side to die. Some of these
regiments lost half their numbers be-
fore reaching the front.
| In our war with Mexico in 1S47, be
fore much was known of the value Of
sanitation, three of our soldiers died
of sickness to one of bullets.
The glamour of battle, OF musketry
of artillery fire, of bayonet charges
and the other methods of taking life
employed in battle have always taker
public attention from the more silent
reaping by disease. A certain cam
paign cost so many thousand men IL
battle. No reck is taken of the othel
thousands who contracted sickness il
that campaign that cost their lives.

RIGA, with it's tropical feVers and its
perfectly appointed layout for disease
propagation and distribution. The re-
suit? Wholesale epidemics Of disease
that wiped out companies, decimated
regiments, stalked rampant over the
remains of the stricken army.
DR.. Louis Livingston Seaman Of
New York, writing from Europe, where
he has taken the field for the active
study of military sanitation, declares
that the present war may establish
new record for absence of disease be-
cause of the lesson in military santa
ton taught the world by the Japanese
in their war with Russia in 1905.
Without minimizing her victories
on land and sea, some Of them the
bloodiest battles in history, have no
hesitancy in saying that the greatest
conquests of Japan have been in the
humanities of warm the stopping of
needless sacrifice of lives by the pre-
vention of disease.
when Japan makes war she mobi-
Lies her fighting forces, but with equal
speed, with equal care, she mobiles
her other army of fghters-the war
riors against disease 1t was that way
in the war with Russia In their long
headed fashion the Japanese looked
into the future. They realized that
every sailor, every soldier saved from
death by disease was just one more
to fight the Russians. And with this
in view systematic campaign was
started to save the lives of Japanese
fighters. The first step was to make
the medical army of equal importance
and equal rank to the fighting army.
The medical army, or sanitary army.
which was what it was, had numer-
ical strength of $4,000 men-the great
est army of the kind the world had
tary soldiers-men who were under
the direct command of a medical Off
Ger, who handled and unanswered
them exactly as a fighting army is
Unanswered. They carried out SAM
tary regulations, policed the camps Of
the regular army, served as hospital
stewards, litter carriers and took care
of the cleanliness of the food and wa
ter sources.
THE medical officers were always
found at the front of the army. They
went with the first line of scouts, for
they themselves were scouts, scouts
for good supplies of water and good
forage They located wells and
streams and made analytical tests Of
the water. They tested food, ap-
proved good and condemned the bad.
Between battles the medical officers
lectured the men on the need of sani-
tation. Practically the whole of ia
pans army were sanitary experts by
the end of the war. There Is little
doubt but that the armies of Europe
have profited by the example set by
the Japanese, and that the present war
will be singularly free from disease
epidemics"
