Will Revise Medical Kit.

Learning a valuable lesson from events
now transpiring I'm the European war
zones. experts Of the Medical Corps OF
the United States Army are preparing to
make an important revision Of the first
aid packet now carried by American
soldiers.
Stories from the front telling how
wounded soldiers have plugged the bullet
holes in their body with iOdine-SOaked
wads of raw cotton have produced a
profound impression upon army medical
officers here.
The suggestion is so valuable that the
War Department has appointed a board
of experts to revise the army's frst-ald
packet with a view to including tinCture
Of iodine as one fthe component parts
This board is composed of Maj. Eugene
r. WhitmOre. Mai Allie w Williams.
and Capt. Arnold u Tuttle, who will
meet at the Army Medical School here
within a few days to consider the i'm
pOTtant matter.
The use OF iodine as an antiseptic iS
mot new, and il Is employed extensively
by American army surgeons but so far
ii has not been Incorporated in the first
aid kits.
At present every American soldier iS
furnished with a first-aid packet for use
I'm time of war. The kit is contained in
a little Acknowledgements box about the
size Of sardins can. Its dimensions.
to be exact are four by two by one
inches II has in It two pieces of gauze-
two because there usually are two
wounds made by each bullet. one at the
point of entry and one at the point Of
departure from the body-a bandage and
some dressing. The wounded soldier is
expected to apply the gauze and keep II
in position with the bandage.
The army surgeons on the special
board intend to add tincture Of iodine
TO this packet. 1t probably will not be
furnished in a vial. for that would put
the soldiers to considerable Inconvenience

Denies Rifles Being Sold.

Secretary Of War Garrison yesterday
made most emphatic denial of rumors
circulated persistently for the last few
weeks to the effect that certain persons
are able to obtain Krag-Jorgensen rifles

lveries of these weapons. The Secre-

outbreak of the war prohibiting the sale
of any more of these weapons has never

Dempf Defends Militiamen.

The criticism OF the District Naval
Militia is an Injustice to the local or
ganization in the unofficial opinion OF
Joseph :. Dempf. commander of the
battalion.
Commander Dempf declined last night
officially to discuss the charges made by
Capt. Williams. of the Rhode Island as
in reviewing independently the various
points embraced in the account of the
cruise, he indicated there practically was
no foundation for the criticism.
Commander Dempf will answer the
charges of Capt. Williams in a formal
communication to be sent to the Navy
Department within a short time.
Il do not believe the District militia
men went on the cruise with the idea
of having a joy ride at the expense of
Uncle Sam" said the commander DO
you think heaving LOO tons of coal
sounds much like joy-riding? That is
what the District men did. Do you
think young men with good positions
and good homes would choose heavins
coal for two weeks il they merely were
looking for pleasure?
1T is said the District men are not
capable Of going aboard a man-Of-war to
do efficient service. l think this Is
true. but nothing else could be expected
When it is considered that the men meet
for drill only once a week for a few
hours, and that many of them had never
before been on a man-of-war. what else
could be expected? The militia has at
its disposal an old converted yacht that
will accommodate no more than twenty
five or thirty men, and there is no more
similarity between a converted yacht and
= man-Of-war than there is between d
hand press and a rotary machine.

Adams Made Manager.

The appointment Of Naval Constructor
L. S. Adams to be industrial manager OF
the Portsmouth Navy Yard has been
announced. This appointment is in line
with Secretary Daniels policy of reliev-
ing Commandants Of navy yards of the
essentially industrial supervision, and
placing this work in charge of naval
constructors or engineer officers who are
not sea-gOing officers.
Just now much interest is felt in the
work of the Portsmouth yard. as the
navy is undertaking to build at that yard

In this vessel will be installed the new

acquaintance if mustered into the navy.
There is little doubt the cruises to for
eisn ports furnished a fuller attendance
of militiamen than would have been the
case had the cruises offered fewer attrac-
tion@. There are considerable grounds for
suspicion that they attracted men whose
interest in militia affairs was confined to
the opportunity for a pleasant vacation
at government expense.
1T is evident from the experience with
nearly all. if not all the organizations
which made these cruises that men are
given ratings for which they have no
qualifications. Also. if the proportion Of
petty officers to unrated men on this
cruise is at all comparable to the proper
ton in the organization as a whole sOme

There seems some reason for believ-

criterion, will eventually be able to
traverse even the Atlantic In single

greatly minimize the danger of forced

far distant when the accidents of the
past due to structural weakness under
sudden strains will be as rare as they
have been common.
