BARGE TRANSPORT FOR OUR
WOUNDED

Stars ard Stripes-American sol
diers with she'll and bullet wounds
in the chest and abdomen and dough-
boys whose long leg bones have been
broken or cracked into Jagged, splin-
tered pieces are to be transported out
of the border n of she'll fire to the
farthest base hospitals as gently as
a mother carries a sleeping child.
Those dangerously wounded men,
for whom the slightest jar or motion
may mean a fatal bleeding in the up
per body cavities, or a hemorrhage
from the big artery of the leg due to
the shifting of saw or knife-like frac-
ture edges, are to be carried down the
canals and rivers Of France on hos
pital barges.
The chief surgeons office has just
completed arrangements for the hos
pital barge system, which in every
detail is designed to transport the
seriously wounded with as little move
ment as possible.
Hospital barges 12O feet long, with
a draught of little more than one
foot, will be moored to landings as
near the front as possible and will
receive wounded as soon as possible
after they come out of battle. Hos
pital operating barges, in use in no
other army. are also to be put in SER
vice in certain sections.
Where the hospital operating barge
is used it will be moored to a land
ing, with a string Of hospital barges
connected to the side of the canal or
river opposite the landing. The
wounded will be placed on a cot at
the landing and lowered on lifts to
the operating section, where they will
receive the attention necessary to fit
them for the journey to a base hos
pital. Still on the cot in which they
were first placed. they will be trans
ferred, by special lifts, to a hospital
barge.
New base hospitals located at or
near the waters edge will receive the
wounded from the hospltrl barges. All
through the winding journey by canal
and river the wounded will be given
as careful attention as if they were in
a hospital ward on land. The barges
will have all the usual hospital equip
ment, and in the case of the hospital
operating barge this will mean the
usual surgery lifted with tables, X.ray !

instruments and machines for anes-
thesia.
The barges will have rows of win
dows along both sides, and the con-
ditions of air and lighting will APP
proach the ideal sought to promote
quick recovery in men whose wounds
are often attended with severe shock.
1t is estimated that the cutting out
the humping auto hauls will mean
the saving of the lives of many men.
1t is estimated that of all men
wounded in battle, so per cent will
be able to return to the front within
40 days. The experience of other
armies has shown that of the wound
ed who live long enough to be car
ried down to the field ambulances, 80
per cent recover; of those who reach
the casualty clearing stations 95 per
cent recover, and of those who reach
base hospitals SO per cent recover
The possibilities of the hospital
barge system are emphasized by the
extent of the canal system of France.
A canal map Of the country shows an
intricate network Of waterways, bind
ing rivers and cities, from the coast
of Belgium in the Mediterranean.
From Paris as a center, it is posi-
BILE to reach both coasts and almost
any part of France by the all-barge
route. In fact, medical officers say
that it would be possible to transport
wounded men direct to the United
States on the same bed in which they
placed at the landing ready for

Day after day the great general,
perhaps the greatest since Napoleon,
fought the battles of the retreats, the
one on the Somme by the British, the
other north of the Marine by the
French without throwing our troops
in. Just a unit of American troops
was on either front. He noted, as
did the world, that the only point that
did moi yield as the Prussian legions
battered their way toward Paris, was
held by the Americans. 1t was the
Chateau Thierry sector. Many things
that occurred there will be recorded

American boys who were receiving
their first baptism of fire. Here's
