Leaders in the American Medical
Profession Cooperate in
This Work.
PUBLICITY Big SAFEGUARD
Mistakes of the Spanish-American War
vfll Be Standardization
of Medical Supplies Is Be-
ing Accomplished.

Washington to the eager
ness with which the medical profession
has responded to the problems of car
ing for United States military forces In
the field was given in an interview by
DIR. Franklin III. Martin, chairman of
the committee on medical surgery or
the medical section of the council OF
national defense. All the b.st medical
thought has been given the committee
to aid in solving new difficulties incl
dental to sending so many men into
3 rvice.
The trained physician knows that
unless certain precautions are taken,
Doctor Martin said, dangerous cpl
denies, such as typhoid fever or men
ingitis, are almost certain to occur In
the army camps, striking often with
the most surprising suddenness. The
less is heard of the medical branch of
an army the more efficient it is, because
usually when much is said about 1t the
comment is Of very unpleasant char
acter."
Declaring publicity is going to be the
big safeguard against mistakes similar
to those made in the Spanish-Ameriean
war. Doctor Martin continued:
''The work of safeguarding the
health of the army and navy could not
be in better hands than it is right now.
In the Best of Hands.
'The general medical board of the
council of national defense, composed
of the country's biggest medical men,
including the surgeon generals OF the
army and navy, has served as clear
ing house Of professional opinion ana
has brought to the solution of the ques-
tons at hand In reconstructed form the

GUARDING ARMIES AGAINST DISEASE

in three main channels. The most COM
prehensiye has been keeping In touch
In an advisory capacity in the work of
the several divisions of control of the
government and the civilian population
the medical corps of the army and
navy, the public health service, the
Red Cross and the work with the civil
ian and munition workers.
Besides this work of keeping gen.
eral oversight over all branches of the
public medical service, the committee
has concerned itself deeply with the
problems of personnel and supplies.
The personnel problem has not been
solved, but 1t is possible to say that the
section has been of great service In
putting the government departments in
touch with the kind of men they need.
To take advantage of carefully laid
plans we must have in their admins
tration Only physicians with the vision
and the professional training needed to
carry them out, both for active service
at the front and in the concentration
camps back at the rear. The medical
service must be filled with men of the
broadcast gauge, of the standard al
ready set by it's present personnel, and
we must depend on the profession be
tween now and the first of September
to furnish of its best even more gen
erously than in the past. The question
Of planning for health now seems
somewhat academic. When the army
is modified it will be vital.
''The supply problem, which Is cared
for by Doctor Simpson, who sits In
with the general munitions board, has
been another source of difficulty In
which the medical section has coop
Grated with the medical divisions or
the army and navy. Faced at the be-
ginning with a shortage. due to the
country's previous almost exclusive de-
pendence on Germany for its medical
supplies, we have hal both to arrange
for taking care of civilian hospitals aid
private practice and at the same time
to build up additional sources to meet
the vast needs of the new army.
Through constant conferences with
manufacturers and close attention to
detail, especially Standardization Of
products, this work Is in fair way to-
ward accomplishment. There will be
no serious dearth.
1.-The country can rest assured that
everything of which the American med
ical profession is capable has been
done to prepare for taking care of Its
new troops"

Measuring Your Pace.

How many steps do you take to the
mile? Even If your considered reply
be "1,760," shall take leave to doubt
1t. Should you be a British infantry
man your pace will be the longest OF
any infantryman. The Russian pace
is the shortest, being but 271s inches;
the French, italian and Austrian pace
is 20 inches, the Germans do SO inches
while British soldiers stride an extra
half inch. But your own pace, what
of it? h depends upon your height
Take your eyebrow height, halye IT,
and that represents your pace. You
will find it to be somewhere between
30 inches and 80 inches, so that you
will need between 1000 and 2,lVO

Gases Used in Warfare.

A recent scientific report from Eu-
rope treats Of the principal gases used
for attack. These include chlorine,
bromine, sulphur dioxide and formal
dehyde. Chlorine and bromine have
proved most effective, because Of their
great weight. They roll over the
ground like water. These gases are
released from compression tanks. The
sulphur dioxide and formaldehyde are
produced by burning the appropriate
chemicals. There are many gases
more deadly than those named, but
In order to be effective for trench
work the poison gas must have sutfi-
Client weight to stick to the ground
The gas mask has practically done
away with the actual effectiveness OF
the gas attacks, but they are said to
have considerable psychological effect
still, many soldiers thinking they are
"gassed" when they are only smelling
the harmless Eapors set up inside the
gas masks.

GOLD IMPORTS SET RECORD
Shipments From Foreign Countries to
United States in Fiscal Year Are
Nearly Billion Dollars.

The total movement of gold and sill
yer between the United States and for
eign countries during the fiscal year
1917 reached the unprecedented total
of 81, 3S2, $50. 745. According TO a state
ment issued by Uncle Sans bureau Of
foreign and domestic commerce the i'm
ports of gold were S977, 176,D26 and Of
silver S35. O33, seq. Gold exports amount
ed to 1921. 921, 225, and silver exports
to S7S,279,931.
The net imports Of gold during the rs
cal year aggregated $685., 254,S01. a
striking increase over the net import
of $403, 759, 1853 IN 1915, sos, 344,607 in
1915, and the net export of $45,A99, $40
in 1914.
The net exports of silver showed an
increase in 1917, but this metal is pro-
duced in great quantities in this eoun-
try, and is sold abroad in the same
manner as other commodities. An ex-
cess of exports, therefore, has no such
significance as is sometimes attriE1ted
to similar movement In gold,
