was not seriously injured and able to
walk, the blue margin was torn from
the tag. II he was so badly wounded
as to be unable to walk the blue mar
gin was left undisturbed and two lit
ter men transported him.
The diagnoses were made so as to
ascertain how much the sanitary
troopers knew about the medical
terms used In describing the various
musclesi bones and organs of the hu-
man body. For Instance, many of the
tags bore the diagnosis "Shell wound,
left malar region" This means a
wound In the cheek, but some OF the
sanitary troopers upon reading II be-
about the chest. other tags bore the
diagnosis, Perforated wound involv.
ing trachea." This indicated a wound
In the windpipe, but treatment was
given for injuries on the thigh by reg
ulars and militiamen.
No Mistakes by ID. G. Troop.
Mono OF these mistakes were made
by the District sanitary troop mem
bers. however. On the contrary, they
were highly complimented on the
treatment given the hypothetical
cases, and especially commended for
the thoroughness and neatness OF
their bandaging.
Among the many things the District
men learned was the knack OF utilik.
ing the resources OF nature In hrst.
aid treatment. In many cases OF
imaginary broken limbs they cut down
saplings. wrapped them with grass
and bandages, and used them as
splints. Tourniquets- for stopping the
flow OF blood from wounds were made
of bark stripped from trees, hat
cords. Logging strings, belts, and other
articles of clothing.
In q number of cases In which the
wounded" man was supposed to have
been shot through the palm OF the
hand, stones were used to stop the
flow OF blood. The stones were wrap
ped in absorbent cotton and placed in
the palm OF the hand. the fingers
being doubled over IL and bandaged

The District militia were also In
Etructed In the improvising OF litters
with two rifles with blankets folded
