FEW WOUNDS BY COLD STEEL
shrspnel and Shell Fragments Cause
Greatest Trouble Owing 70 Greater
Danger OF Infection.

Much is said about the comparative
ay unimportant part played by cold
steel in the present war. The follow
ing passage from the article on Sur
gerry. Military" In the New Interna-
conal Encyclopedia. would seem 10 IN
dictate that conditions had not changed
much In that respect since the Franco
Prussian war; also that the general
classes Of wounds remain essentially
the same.
"Shrapnel wounds are ike those OF
the old round leaden musket balls, be-
cause Of their low velocity they are
more frequently lodged in wounds than
are rife bullets. Shell wounds, as
class, are much less frequent. but far
more severe than shrapnel wounds.
Shell fragments cause complete de-
struction near the bursting point. but
effect less damage in more distant
zones. Both shrapnel and shell
wounds are usually infected. because
the missiles carry into the wounds
pieces Of clothing and other foreign
matter. The danger Of infection is
much increased because Of the greater
extent Of laceration. Wounds by bayo-
net, saber and lance occur so infre-
quently as TO be of minor interest. Dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war there
were only 900 wounds by cold steel
among $4,000 wounded. Grenades.
