With Che number of American fighting men wounded in action expected to increase sharply in the coming months, the people should find comfort and satisfaction in the fact that new scientific methods of healing will restore most of them to health, say the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany, who point out that already thousands of soldiers in the present war have been helped by these new medical methods.
 "The remarkable advances in medicine and surgery since the first World War" the statisticians say, "are now paying huge dividends in saving the lives of soldiers wounded ln combat. Contributing to thls result are the outstanding dlscov- cries the sulfa drugs, the use of blood plasma, and new anesthetlcs |"

diary bombs. "ConseQuently," the statistlcians point out, wounds sui. fered by fighting men today are likely to be both more numerous and more severe. Also, the better organization of medclal services in the field today probably results in the inclusion among the wounded Of some men who, in previous wars, would have been recorded as killed in action because they died of their wounds before they were found"
 Excluding men killed In action or dying from wounds before medical aid reached them, preliminary data pertaining to American Army casu- alties in i942, show that of 4,l04 wounded, total of l56 died, which the statisticians point out, gives 0 case fatality rate of approximately { per cent, while the gross fatality rate in the American Army in the first World War was 7.7 per cent, and in the British Army on the Western front it was 76 per cent.
 Specific experiences in our forces during the present war, which may be cited" the statlsticlans ex- plain. "are the gross fatality rates Of 3,8 per cent of the wounded, re. corded in one of our large medical units at Pearl Harbor In December l94l, and less than per cent among the Navy and Marine oasu- alties in the first three months of fighting in the Solomons last year."
 Abdominal Wounds
 Mortality from abdominal wounds, which in former wars exceeded 90 per cent was less than per cent among our men in the early Solo, mons battles. Mortality from wounds of the chest cavity also have shown a remarkable decline, according to British report.
 Declaring thnt wound infections and gas Rangrono Rr0 relatively in. frequent in the present war largely as a result of the routine uso of sulfa drugs, the Statlsticlans point out that leach man in our combat forces carries Q supply of such drugs and has been instructed how to use them In case he is wounded or injured.
 T0tOnus Is almost q thing of the past among American troops, 1t is explained, ns Q result of the routine protection afforded our men by to- tanus toSoid. Yet, among British troops in 1914, totanus oomplicating gunshot wounds accounted for 6 per cent of all deaths from wounds, Tn contrast, among wounded troops evacuated from Dunklrk in i040, tho StatlsticianS say, only q few cases were recorded, oil of them among troops not immuniEed against tho disease.
 Shock and hemorrhage, listed by the statistiCians as important fac. tors in tho high mortality from severe wounds in earlier wars, arc now successfully combated by uso of plaSmR for tranSfuSlons of wounded men in tho field, whii0 prompt injection of sedatlyO drugs in the field has AlBo reduced the danger of shock.
 New Methods
 New methods of treatment of burns have largely solved tho prob- lem created by tho increased fro. quency of such injuries resulting from incendlaiy bombA high explo. sives, and gasoline and oil fires in this war; Consequently" tho statis- ticians explain, recovery is frequent even from extensive burns received in action, wherens previously such wounds were usually fatal"

Greetings of COnnectcuts Chief Executive to Madame

Governor Raymond E Baidwln'S address of welcome to Madame Chi0ng Kai.shek At Madison Square Garden last Tuesday evening has resulted in much favorable comment on the manner In which Ills Tlxeol- loneq ''lo0allS0d" his remarks. II0 in- jected considerable Connecticut his- tory in his brief address, which WaS aB follows:
 "c,onnoetlcut is proud and happy to welcome you Madame Chlang Kal-sh0k, for the bond Of friend- ship between the people Of China and the people of our Btat0 iB as strong and aB old as these United States. Even before Connecticut bO. came c member of our great Repubs lie, Yankee Clipper ships, sailing from our ports, were engaged in tho China trad0--and one of PfeB- Ment WaShlngton'S faVorlt0 pieces of jeWelry was a carved emblem brought from China and presented to him by ono of our Connecticut Yankee seq captains,
 Perhaps that is ono reason why China remembered Connecticut, For nearly q century later, in 1872, tho Chinese Educational Commission sent i20 boys and young men te
