FOR WAR CONDUCT

Persons accustomed to think of the medical
corps of the army as non-combatant unit will
be astoninshed to the suggestions prepared for
the conduct of military surgeons newly arrived
in the war zone. bulletin from the office of
the Surgeon General sums up the technical mil
itary knowledge which an army surgeon must
have to do his duty competently and incidentally
shows the exposure to which he is subjected.
CAS- soon as the battalion or regimental sur
geon arrives in sector and has supervised
The installment of his material" the bulletin
says, "he should rapidly gain an intimate per-
sonal knowledge of the first line trenches, dug
outs, listening posts, evacuation trenches and
means of transportation to the rear. This know
ledge should be gained on the day of arrival if
possible, because enemy surprise attacks are fire.
quently coincident with the arrival of troops in
a new sector.
1t should be acquired through day and night
inspections in order that he may be able to de-
scribe the topography of the terrain to his per-
sonnet. The latter should also be given an early
opportunity of familiarizing themselves with
the system of trenches and evacuation routes, so
that when called upon to pick up wounded, at
least one man of each squad is familiar with the
general contour and direction of the trenches.
The surgeon should also acquaint himself
through his commanding officer, with the loca-
ton of the enemy trenches, batteries, trench
mortars, and mitrailleuse redoubts, together
with the habit of the enemy in that particular
sector. BY habits is meant the routine firing of
the day and night during periods of normal &C
tivity. Certain open spaces, cross roads, gulleys,
etc.,are regularly under fire at certain hours of
the day night and the sanitary persannel
must learn to avoid these exposed places during
these periods.
In the preparation of an attack the battalion
and regimental surgeons are invariably appraised
of the probable objective to be attained They
must study the general topography of the coun-
to be traversed, its enemy trenches, dugouts and
stations, in order to be able to utilize them dur
ing an engagement.

OPPOSES MILITARISM

Much interest attaches to that portion OF
Lord Curzon's speech at a recent meeting IN Lon
don in which he strongly attacked the lncllna-
ton of some to put great military and naval lead
ers at the head of the British government. Lord
Curzon who is leader of the house of Lords, and
is a member of the War Cabinet, declared such a
policy would be extreme hurtful and would be de-
moralizing to the military forces themselves.
Lord Curzon said that he was thoroughly as
tonished when he read the newspaper propos-
ais made by responsible persons that the right
thing to do at this emergency was to place gen.
erals and admirals inside the British cabinet.
The strange thing about this suggestion he said
was made by those who "shrieked about Ger
man militarism
"Let the general and admirals," he Ntntinued,
ATTEND the cabinet meetings they do every
day, and advise cabinet ministers, but the mo-
ment soldier is placed in control of the policies
of an administration, the soldier is spoiled, and
he does not improve the administration"
He said that mistakes might have been made
but "since the present government has been in
office the empire has given forth war effort
which has never been equalled in history. The
position of England today is that she is at the
moment the pillar and bulwark which is uphold
ing the liberties of the world"
Grave times are ahead" he continued land
British soldiers may have to give ground. En-
couragement is to be found, however, in the un-
ity of command in Americas effort, and in the
resolute, indomitabe spirit Of the British people.

STARVING AUSTRIA

Further details of the critical food situation
in Austria is given in statements of burgomaster
published in the Vienna Neute Freie Presse,
quoted in an official dispatch from Switzerland
The burgomaster of Innsbruck wrote that for
months it has been impossible to obtain flour
throughout the Tyrol except that made of corn,
and even that is scarce. Potatoes practically
unobtainabe. Whole districts have been
without bread for weeks
The burgomaster of Klegenfurst said he did
not know how sufficient food is to be obtained
this month. Flour is almost entirely lacking
while milk and potatoes are not to be found.
Canned goods are entirely exhausted, and he
says, the situation will be unbearable, unless
help arrives from Vienna of Germany.
The burgomaster of Gablonz, Bohemia says ::
ut is folly for the government to distribute food
cards when nothing can be procured with them.
This method only succeeds in driving the people
to despair

1t looks if the German U-boat warfare is
in a fair way to be controlled, if not entirely
eliminated. April 23rd an audacious attack was
made at Zeebrugge which, although spoken
lightly of at the time by the German press, has
just been admitted by Berlin to have been sue
cessful. Now comes the news that this raid was
duplicated at Ostend, thus sealing up second
U-boat base. The raid on Ostend, the second
most important German submarine base on the
Belgian coast, made under terrific fire.
In the raid to bottle up Ostend the British sue
ceeded in sinking the obsolete cruiser Vindictive
filed with concrete, in the neck of the harbor
channel The Vindictive is three hundred feet
in length and the channel 800 feet wide, the
hulk, therefore does not entirely close the chan
mel. but it does close it for submarines and
light surface craft except under conditions of
the most slow and careful navigation.

Asserting that any further reduction in ship
ping assigned to the Italian trade would menace
the Italian people and their army with starva-
ton, F. Quattrone, Italian High Commissioner
to the United States, has made an urgent pro-
test against the proposal. Mr.. Quattrone de-
MES that Italian shipping is lying idle in Italian
ports and makes especial denial of certain
newspapers reports that ships which might be
diverted to the transatlantic line of supplies
are being used to export from Italy cargoes of
spaghetti made of American wheat. Edward n.
Hurley, chairman of the Shipping Board, has
written the Italian High Commissioner that the
published stories referred to did not emanate
from the Shipping Board.
