Some Figures on
The Feeding and
Moving an Army

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
BERLIN, July Si.-A writer in the Neue
Gesellschaftllche correspondence has been
trying to visualize to the casual reader
the dimensions OF troops as they march
and fight. A German army corps, he
says. consists OF 900 men, 1900 horses,
and 100 vehicles, including the cannon
Such body OF men and their belongings
make a procession about thirty miles
long on a single road.
Even when in pretty close touch with
the enemy the length of corps is about
fifteen miles; and when the front detach-
ments become involved in a battle it will
be five or six hours before the men in
the rear go into action to assist them.
Before this war began II was generally
assumed that a single corps would occupy
about two and one-half TO three miles
of the fighting line, but in actual expert
ence II has been found that the average
front Of n corps is considerably broader,
namely. three and one-half 10 five miles.
An army OF ten corps is not very large,
as armies go in this war; but even such
an army would fight on a front of some
thrty-seven miles, and the man who
undertook to walk from one wing to the
other would require twelve to fourteen
hours In doing II.
The shipment of an army corps by rail
is no small undertaking. The troops alone
require sixty-seven trains. while the
artillery. commissary and other belong
ings call for forty-one trains, total Of
about 10 trains.
The feeding Of corps appears to be
big problem when the matter is worked
out upon the basis of the daily consump-
ton of each man and each horse. The
daily average ration OF a soldier in the
German army weighs about 3.6 pounds,
while a horse gets his thirteen pounds of
oats, and the large draught horses con-
siderably more. These figures work out
at about $1,000 pounds OF food for the
men and about $4,000 pounds for the
horses, as n minimum. There is thus
nearly 100000 pounds OF provisions to be
moved forward every day, not to mention
ammunition. Under the most favorable
conditions, therefore, it calls for a train
of $50 wagons to bring up the food for
each day.

Better Method of
Treating Wounds

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
LONDON, Aug, H,-A year OF war has
worked q revolution In the army sur
geon's method OF dealing with the ordi-
nary wounds of the battlefield. which,
on account OF the changed character OF
the projectiles, are smore severe than in
previous wars. In almost every instance
or wounds from modern artillery, the
broken tissues are found by the surgeon
to have become infected by scraps OF
cloth CT other material. on a scale with
out precedent. AZ the start. most OF the
surgeons relied ON q stringent applica-
ton OF recognized methods OF antiseptics
To combat this Infection. The tissues
were deluged with powerful germicides.
even strong carbolic acid being employed.
The success OF this method. however.
was far from complete. and gradually a
new system, based on wen-known prin.
eiples. but entirely novel In application,
was substituted.
One Of tho elementary principles OF
physics Is, that n vessel contains two
solutions OF varying strength divided
from each other by an animal mem
hrane, LIQUID will pass from the weaker
TO the stronger solution until ultimately
both are az the same strength. This
principle was brought into action in the
treatment OF wounds In order to stimu-
late the action OF the serum OF the blood,
which has strong antiseptic properties.
The wound 10 filled with liquid solution
OF salt and sodium citrate at n consider
ably greater concentration than that In
the serum OF the blood. Under the infiu-
enee OF this liquid the serum il poured
OUT from the body into the wound, tend
ing both TO cleanse Il and 20 destroy the
bacteria that are present
This system has the great advantage
that II leaves the tissues unimpaired by
the fluids used for the destruction OF
germs The full recognition OF the eff
cheney OF this method. introduced larsely
through the efforts OF Sir Almroth
Wright" says q medical writer. must
be regarded as one Of the most import
ant advances made In surgery az a result
