FOR CITIZEN SOLDIERS

| Another weapon of the trenches
| introduced by the Germans, in spite
of international agreements to the
| contrary, Is poisonous gas, This was
at first very effective, since no de-
fense against 1t had been prepared.
At the present time, however, each
man in or near the front carries n
gas mask, which enables him to meet
an attack of this kind without -seri-
Gus injury.
Wonderful staff Organizations.
Back of the lines the organization
of the staff branches of the service
has been enormously extended. Rail-
roads are constructed up to within
short distance of the front. Transport
of supplies and ammunition by mo-
tor trucks has been organized on a
big scale The medical departments
have also made notable gains in
methods of treating wounded men.
with the result that a very large per-
centage recover. Even In the. early
months of the war 1t was announced
that of the wounded actually treated
in French hospitals 54.5 per cent were
returned to duty within short time:
PAS per cent were sent home to COM
plete their recovery and later return
ed to duty; II per cent at the time
of making the report were still In
hospitals with the proba bility of COM
plete recovery; LIS per cent were un-
fit for further service; 2.5 per cent
had died from the effects of their
wounds.
There is probably little basis for
the idea that the number of casual
ties in this war is any greater, in pro-
portion to the number of men engag-
ed, than in previous wars In the
French army during the last six
months of 1916 (Which included three
big offensives) the total losses in
killed, wounded and prisoners are Of
ficially reported to have been only
1928 per cent of the French forces
under arms.
One of the striking features of the
war is the proof that has been CIV
en- of courage and devotion to duty
on the part of men of all nations As
soldiers we must honor and strive to
emulate the heroic bravery of those
who are fighting the battle for de-
mocracy and freedom. AS soldiers we
must recognize also the skill and
courage of the enemy, even though
they are shown in a bad cause. Moth
ing is gained by belittling the enemy.
1t is our place rather to see to it that
we develop among ourselves a still
higher degree of intelligence, spirit,
tenacity and self-reliance which
alone can win victories
The war In Europe has brought
forth changes and improvements
such as those just described, TO
which the soldiers of the national ar
my must quickly adjust themselves;
but it has not changed in the least
the qualities of body, mind, and
heart, which in the long run are al.
ways the greatest of all factors in
warfare.
