ARMY SURGEON

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. H.
Fathers and mothers whose sons 90

know just what sanitation conditions
surround the military camps, says DR..
Franklin II. Martin, chairman of the
committee on medicine and surgery
of the national defense council.
Constant vigilance is to be main
tanned thru the daily press, he says.
Il believe the country learned the
medical lesson of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. Publicity is going to be
the safeguard against similar mis-
takes in this vastly greater enter
prise" he pointed out.
"Vital as is the matter of surgical
care Of the wounded, this task is of
small Importance" DR.. Martin says,
"in comparison with that of keep
ing the men in the camps and on
ships free from infectious diseases.
1t can be promised that there will be
no dangerous epidemics of prevent
able disease" DR.. Martin concluded.

where, but most of all in the army
where large bodies of men are
brought together. In its true sense
it. includes not only keeping your
body clean, but also your mind and
your actions. Fortunately it is a vir-
tue in which Americans generally
rank high. There should be little diff
ficulty in setting satisfactory
standard in the new army. This is a
subject more fully treated later in
this course.
Cheerfulness.
Cheerfulness is always promin-
inent trait of good soldiers. Here
again Americans may be counted on
to make a splendid showing, even
in the face of any unexpected hard
ships or difficlties that may be
ahead of US. There are numerous
episodes in American military history
to justify this confidence.
In January, 1868, the Union army
lay in camp at Falmouth, Vr. About
a month before had occurred the dis
asterous and bloody defeat of Fred
ericksburg. In the north it was the
darkest hour of the war. Everywhere
outside the army there was depression
and fear. On January 81, the COM
manding general ordered the troops
to break camp and move forward. AT
the same time "a cold drizzling rain
set in; the ground speedily became
like sea of glue; everything upon
wheels sunk into the botomless mud;
it took twenty horses to start single
caisson; hundreds of them died in
harness.; but still the general persist
ed. But the rain persisted also, and
it soon became simple impossible
ty to go forward" After two days
of effort it was necessary to have
the men struggle and founder "thru
the wilderness of mud back to their
camp"
Picture the situation. Recent de-

NINE soLDIERLY QUALITIES.

The three basic qualities, loyalty,
obedience and physical fitness, were
treated in the preceding lessons.
There is another group of three SOL
dierly qualities that are especially
needed during the periods of train
ing, marching and waiting between
combats. They are:
Intelligence, cleanliness, cheerful
ness.
Altho these qualities are asso-
ciated chiefly with camp life, they
are, of course, scarcely less helpful
in all other phases of military SER
vice.
Intelligence.
Intelligence does not necessarily
mean education, but rather quick OBJ
servation and willingness to learn.
There is plenty of need for intelli-
gence in modern warfare. The ma
tional army vii be forced to absorb
within few months training which
would ordinarily extend over period
of two or three years. Those who
intend to fit themselves for promo
ton should study thoroly the manuals
and the drill regulations which af-
feet their duties. In time they should
learn something about map-making
end map reading, the construction of
field entertainments, training and
care of horses, signalling. the hand
ling of complex pieces of machinery,
and many other subjects.
Any practical knowledge that you
may now possess will surely be use
full and helpful to you in the army.
Capt. Ian Hay Beth, of the English
army, points out that in the first
British forces Of the present war the
previous trade or training Of every
soldier was sooner 81 later utilized.

The change from outdoor activity
