to the field hospital.
These are the rules OF the medical
department., but they did not palm out

hospital corps men were sometimes
unable to reach a wounded man for
tw~enty-four hours: at other times
they were able to creep up and give
them water and a hypodermic injec-

the field. In many Instances the sur
geons have found that the wounded
man had recovered from the shock

Impossible To Treat All Wounded.
In hundreds of cases the wounded
in the present war receive no treat
ment whatever until they reach some
hospital In a city, and In most in
stances the wounds have commenced
to supperate. AS the fighting goes on
almost all the time the vast numbers
of wounded have fairly swamped the
small corps of surgeons who have
found themselves unequal to the task,
A number OF American surgeons are
scattered over the war zone and their
report of the situation is appalling.
Scores of American women are lend
ing their aid, but the Hood of wounded
pours In each day-men who ear i'll
be spared. yet numbers of whom II
they live will be %crlpples to the end of
their days.
AS to the work on the field, the hos
pital corps are working day and night
to reach the wounded and give them
water at least, for even a slight wound
In warm weather creates intense thirst,

MONG the Ancients the care of

the fifteenth century the treatment

cure patients showed the greatest i'm
provement, while those of the boiling
oil treatment were feverish and un-
comfortable from infamcd wounds.
Even as late as 1872 the wounded
were left in a measure without care.
Men had to drag themselves to the
surgeons and afterward obtain shelter
as best they could. often waiting on
the floor in a house until some wound
ed man died before obtaining a bed.
such a thing as a field hospital did not
exist until we'll into the nineteenth CEN
fury. Even in the Crimean War the
hospital accommodations were hor-
rible, and even at the base hospital
there was no n to nurse the wound
ed and many men died without eve
having their wounds dressed.
Florence Nightingale First War Nurse.
1t was not until Florence Nightin-
gale arrived on the scene hat order
was brought out Of chaos. This grand,
good woman brought a number Of
ladies with her and they so changed
things by cleanliness and attention to
the sick that many lives were saved.
This was the first time hat ONE
had been employed as war nurses, but
their work was so successful that ever
since the war nurse has been a famil-
lar figure In the hospitals at the sea
OF war. Today the wounded are being
cared for not only by nurses Of their
own race but by those OF Neutral coun-
tries, which have been sent through
the Red Cross, that remarkable So
ciety which has done SO much to
ameliorate the sufferings of mankind.
The medical departments Of the
warning European nations are facing

ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT NARROW
LY ESCAPED BEING A
TRAGEDY

Tommy Morris, who has recently
returned from college and therefore
is not accustomed to the city ways,
met with an accident, or rather caus-
ed an accident to occur yesterday
evening that came near resulting IA
tally. He was driving his father
7-passenger Buick car and at the
same time trying to teach a little
girl who rode in the seat with him,
how to steer the car. Rounding &
corner suddenly he ran fairly into a
Guthrie Hardware delivery wagon,
driven by Geo. Taylor The impact
was so great and so sudden that the
harness was completely stripped
from the horse and the animal eata-
pulled to the parking. The delivery
wagon was carried half block, in
front of the car before young Norris
could get his machine under control.
The wagon is a wreck and the driver
is in hospital. The car was injured
but little. Morris and the little girl
were badly frightened but escaped
without scratch
