NlNE.TENTHS RECOVER

One OF the best pieces Of war news
we have had since we entered the
war comes from the American hos
pital Ia Paris. Those hospitals late
ly have been filled 10 Overlooking

fighting at Cantigny and the Marine
The cheerfuness and exuberant Op.
timism OF the wounded men have al
ready been noted with appreciate
by the American public. That, how.
ever. is not the present point We
now have. added to that reassuring
fact, the glad news that 30 per cent.
of the men will recover
This is apparently an unparalleled
percentage of recoyeries 1t Is due
partly to the continued Improvement
OF surgical methods. partly TO the
pr0mptness with which the wounded
soldiers were cared for aad partly
to the new style of fighting The last
factor Is one that may be counted on
pretty steadily hereafter.
The war has been reyerting to the
oldiashioned. open fighting. There
has been less shelling. less dying
helplcssly i'll trenches Men have
met above ground a. Of old and
fought with rifles, bayonets and ma
chine guns Most Of the wounds ar,
said to have been bullet wounds
which are much cleaner and more
easily cared for than shell wounds
All these favorable conditions may
be expected to continue Our boys
will therefore, even when bearing the
brunt of the battle, be safer than
any troops have been heretofore IN
this war More OF them will be able
to return to the front. and more will
come back home when The war is
