DEMAGOGY AT ITS WORST.

In the course of his arraignment of the War Department on the side of disease and death in the army camps over the country, Senator Chamberlain offered in evidence two cases of death attended if not caused by neg lect of physicians and nurses. They were very sad and drew tears from many of his auditors in the Senate Chamber. The recited circum- stances were enexcusiable. They call for the severest condemnation.
 But are these two cases fairly typical of the situation among over a million men in camp, away from home, exposed to new con- ditions affecting bodily health and inevitably bringing together sporadic cases of contagious disorders under circumstances most favorable for their spread? They are presented by the Senator They are absolutely disproved as such by the broad fact which he is obliged to acknowledge.
 This broad fact is that the death-rate among the more than million encamped sol diers in the first and worst months of their new environment to date is actually lower than it would have been among them at home, as proved by long Reinsurance experiene for selected lives of these ages. And the Sen ator has to admit it. The American Army is the healthiest in the world.
 This is a remarkable fact. These soldiers are at war, and are none the less at war for being mobilized far back of the fighting lines. And while disease heretofore has always been far more deadly to an army than the enemys bullets, the great advance in the hygiene of camp has still left it foe more dangerous than in civil life
 Secretary Bakers soicitude for the health and care of the soldiers has been nOt0rlOuSly particular. That it has been extraordinarily effective is provide by this broad admit ted fact Army physicians and nurses tend to become unsympathetic and neglectful, as in >"vil life wtcl ai:ng with inn ,,tcs CT large institutions, and need, then, to be called to frequent account. But when few cases of indifference their part among so great number are held up to harrow public feeling as typical of general camp conditions, dema- gogy has descended to its lower depths.
