the wounded was a hell of agony.
In the treatment of wounds the in
vention of the Carrel- Dakin system of
irrigating and cleaning deep wounds
has attracted wide attention and has
saved many lives. 1t is a cumbersome
process, however, and requires the re-
dressing of the wounds every two
hours. The surgeons are actively seek
ing simpler methods.
The next great step to be taken in
the armies will be the vaccination of
all the troops with the anti gangrene
serum-which will prevent gangrene
from ever setting in. The vaccination
for typhoid and smallpox, and the care
ful sanitation of camp sites. food and
water have already cut down the
deaths from sickness to below the nor
NAL peace time rate-whereas in the
civil war the deaths by disease vastly
exceeded the deaths i'm battle or in the
wounded hospitals.
While trench warfare has evolved
new and difficult kinds of wounds. it
has had it's great compensation for the
wounded and for the surgeons. Sta
tionary warfare enables the wounded
to he picked up as soon as hurt, and
to be placed in expert hands and in full
ly equipped hospitals from the moment
of injury. The hospitals. and the am
balances are always ut hand and work
like clockwork.
In the war of movement all is diff
ferent. There the hospitals are left
far to the rear and the medical corps
must trail the armies as best il can as
they sweep across country. The wound
ed must often lie for hours where they

Like the notorious Mafia," said Dr.
Clark. certain African secret socie-
ties can be employed to arrange the
murder Of any person for definite and
often ridiculously low prices.
Among the most fiendish of these
organizations is the Nkimba.
Its members live largely by thiev-
cry. A favorite ruse is for band of
Nkimba to rush through a native viii
lage with wild outcries-a sort of
pseudo drive on the devil. Then
while the devil Is being routed and the
frightened villagers are scattered the
Nkimba are stealing everything they
can lay hands on.
They rub their bodies with white
clay, and when a member is seen In
the act of thievery he has but to run
to the sacred enclosure Of the society
to escape Justice.
For anyone not a member of the
organization to enter this enclosure
means almost certain death.

homes where a father is absent. Some
where, either in America or France

morning in a training camp or In the

homes and when the last dollar has
been spent for food and clothing there
will be none left to fill those empty
stockings.
In other homes there will be the
same poverty that faced the family in
previous years. Poverty that has
