War Mortality Drops


A MEXICAN fathers and mothers and others having
"A loved ones in the mighty armed forces the United
States has mustered for this great war, will be
tremendously hcartened by recent statement by
Surgeon General Ross T. Mcintyre of the United States
Navy
He gives the amazing news that LESS THAN
ONE PER CENT of the men wounded in the Solomons
have failed TO
This compares with mortality rate of per cent
among Americans wounded in the first World War
He reports further that less than per cent of the
men receiving abdominal wounds fail to survive-and in
the last war the death in this dreaded category
EIGHTY PER CENT.
The grimmest aspect of has always been the
plight of the wounded
Until very recent times wounded man in
considered a dead man.
War is utterly ruthless Battles are fought far from
medical bases and of course the battle there
is little time opportunity to care for fallen men,
THIS war is little different from any other in that
But it is different in a very vital respect-and
especially different the way America is fighting it.
Thanks to marvellous medical and scientific dis
every American soldier carries essential drugs
which prevent infections He treats his wounds if
he is able to do so.
He attends fallen comrades with hardly pause in
combat operations. And the result is, if he goes
unattended for hours, his chance of survival is inn
measuraby better than that of the wounded soldier in
earlier
This is only of the for his better
chance"
The medical services of the armed forces vastly
better organized for prompt and efficient treatment of
wounded than ever before.
The availability of blood plasma for emergency trans
fusions, contributed in veritable rivers by patriotic
American and women has been further boon to the
wounded.
CONSEQUENTLY, the American people are assured
u hat S nOt ect Of he ed
in this but that there is astounding and UMPIRE
cedented salvage of the wounded.
Nothing comforts the families and friends and
trymen of our American fighting more than this
The experience in all wars is that for every man
assured of the survival and recovery of most of this vital
twothrds of all casualties brings relief and courage
TO all.
AS the goes on the American people count
the medical services Of the armed forces to BETTER
their fine record in this important matter
4 ND the American people must continue and improve
n their participation in TINS wonderful work
They must support in greater volume the blood banks
of the American Red Cross They enlist train
themselves in the voluntary services open 10 civilians
And they must keep on buying the bonds which
supply hospitals and field units less than they provide
the implements Of destruction with which the must
be fought and
We cannot hope to avoid all the grim consequences
of this terrible But IT is hearenng TO know are
able TO minimize those consequences greatly and with
such wonderful restoration of life and health those
who serve US well:

SOUTHWARK HO!

It was December /. 1912, and we
made the first part of our journey
through rain and snow as we took
the train for the west and south.
For companions we had soldier boys.
and they were good comrades. We
were especially impressed with their
fine faces. good nature. kind and
gentle manners. and communicative
spirit.
They were far from being boast
full, reckless and boisterous. There
was no profanity or carousing, prob
ably due to tho presence Of their
own military police. These accom-
panied them on every train. They
bore the insignia, NJ. p. and were
armed with gun and baton. Their
serious mood was transferred to the
boys. who apparently had all that It
takes to make . soldier Of the
United States army.
From the car window we could
see everywhere unhusked corn.

R. J. S0MMERS BACK
AFTER EXTENSIVE
TRIP IN STATES

r. j. Sommers, of the Sommers
Construction Company, is back in
Juneau this week after a six weeks
trip in the States on which he
covered the country from Chicago
and Texas to the Pacific Coast
Mr. Sommers had business in Den
yer, Minneapolis, st. Louis, Chi
cago and Texas and found dis
agreeable weather everywhere.
Travel, except on essential bust
ness and with priority, is extremely
uncertain and unpleasant through
out the States, Mr.. Sommers said
In speaking of the weather, he
said some of the coolest he en-
countered was in Fort Worth
Texas, where it was eight above
zero with a wind like a Taku blow
ing.
Mr.. Sommers expects to remain
in Juneau until next June, when
he will leave in connection with
his construction projects in vari-
GUS parts of the Territory.
