Roger Babson. the statistician, IS
quoted as saving that fourteen out OF
fifteen men have been safe hitherto in
the Great War-and the losses at first
were vastly greater than the losses now.
He continues
Under present conditions, where man
power IS being saved. not more than one
in thirty is killed. Only one man in 500
loses q limb, a chance no greater than
in hazardous conditions at home
~ Andre Tardieu, French High Com
missioner to the United States, has
given out figures showing that the per
oeutage Of casualties in proportion to
the modified strength Of France has
fallen from 80 for the first six months
OF 1915 to 1.28 IN the last six months
of 1916
How does it happen that soldiers to-
day are safer than ever before?
Learning How to Care for the
Wounded
The answer, as suggested above, is
that the nations have learned how to
take care Of their soldiers. Camp sani-
tation, scientific rationing, business or
ganization OF the supply service-these
things count, but the big vital factor in
saving husbands and sons for the
women who Wait at home IS the eff
cheney Of the medical service.
The second answer, also. IS the Red
Cross. AS Lord Vantage, father Of the
British Red Cross movement, said
However well organized an Army
Medical Service may be, it never has
been. and never will be. able to cope
adequately with the sudden emergencies
oi war on a large scale. and voluntary
organizations. unimpeded by official re-
strictons, are alone capable of giving
auxiliary relief and Of providing extra
comforts and luxuries with the equisite
promptitude and rapidity
That IS why, when America entered
the war. the first organized forces Of
the United States to go abroad were
Red Cross base hospital units which had
been mustered into the United States
Army Medical Corps. That is why
right now you would find American
doctors and nurses desperately hard
