FLU CAUSE OF HIGH
DEATH RATE in ARMY

WASHINGTON, Dec. Except
for deaths from tuberculosis and
respiratory diseases contracted dur
ing the influenza epidemic of 1918,
the army death rate for the year,
last, would have been very low, &C
cording to the annual report of Sur
geon-General Ireland.
The medical corps during the year,
Gen. Ireland asserted, was engaged
largely in physical reconstruction of
sick and wounded Of the great war.
At the beginning of the. year there
were 40,796 patients in the general
and base hospitals and during the
year an addition 10000 cases were
received The end of the year, June
80, however, saw all except .5,0S3 of
these cases discharged, leaving only
nine of the 81 wartime general hos
pitfalls in operation.
The policy of the medical corps,
Gen. Ireland declared, was to trans
fer patients to hopitals near the
homes of relatives and friends if re-
quested, but such was impractical
in cases where no sufficiently
equipped institution was available.
