MODERN WAR is MERcIFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound.
ed Are Given a Fair Chance
to Recover to Health.

A general impression is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss of life and greater pain
are caused. That view is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let says the Scotsman, unless it is of
the soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives it's victim fair chance of re-
covery. 1t does not, as a rule, mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical
ly unknown 60 years ago, and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but it is far more eff.
fective than in the pre-Lister days.
Rapidity of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres.
ent war it is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying in a Brit
ish hospital within "a hours of
receiving their wounds. If the
risk of being hit is greater. the
chances of recovery from injury have
been immensely increased.

There is a geniality about the Ma

OPENED TO oYsTERMEN.
More Than 5000 Acres withdrawn
From Leasing Area.

Moro than $4,000 acres of oyster
bottoms heretofore regarded as sub
ject to lease were withdrawn by the
Shellfish Commission from the lease
able territory and reserved for the
natural-bar oystermen, under the pro-
visions of the Shepherd bill, passed at
the last session of the Legislature.
The withdrawal of this territory was
made as tie result Of re-examination
conducted by Commissioners Green
and Swepson Earle, engineer of the
commission, and which lasted from
June 10 until Thursday. 1t was found
that the territory, which, when it was
surveyed in the period from 1906 to
1910, was classed as barren bottoms,
had caught up and is now producing
oysters in sufficient quantities to en-
able the oystermen to earn living on
it, and 1t was therefore reserved for
them.
Commissioner Maltbie pointed out
that this did not indicate that the sur
vey as originally made had been
erroneous, but that in the time since
the survey had been made the lands
had become productive.
The areas added to the grounds re-
served for the natural-bar oystermen
included 1890 acres on the west side
of Chesapeake Bay, from Holland
Point to Point Lookout; 5000 acres In
Tangier Sound, 1850 acres in Honga
river and Hoopers Straits. 1000 acres
in Fishing Bay. 1880 acres in the
Choptank river and adjacent waters
and 1000 acres in Eastern Bay.
Engineer Earle and Commissioner
Green are now working in the Patux-
ent river and their report on that Sec
tion will be made in a short time and
will be acted on by the commission.
