last war and again we see
what progress in science
and brilliant organization
can accomplish.
This war is undoubted-
ly the most destructive
and bloodiest in history.
But it is also a war fought
with an unprecedented
economy in lives. 1t now
remains to be seen how
far the men who have
suffered permanent injur-
les and whose minds have
been affected can be re-
habilitated. On this phase
of medicine Brig. Gen.
Frank L. Hines spoke
hopefully. It is a phase
which calls for far-reach-
ing plans. It is a difficult
phase, because the chron-
ically i'll and the perma-
nently disabled have not
received anything like the
attention that is paid to
the injured or the acutely
ill. If the task of rehabili-
tation is performed as
skillfully as the Army and
Navy have performed that

a definite, almost stereo-
typed pattern of action
emerge. At first the adj
ministrators are greet
ed with a fervor which ex-
presses the joy of a self
respecting people once
more free to govern them
selves. Then, as they be-
gin to exert the authority
necessary to bring about
order, they come into con-
flict with groups whose
whole life for years has
been one of violence nee
essary to drive out what
authority existed-that of
the Nazi conqueror.
These groups are now,
naturally enough, condi-
toned to resent any at
tempts at discipline inn

MEDICINE AT
THE FRONT

Had this war been
fought under the medical
conditions that prevailed
in 1918, good as they were
for their period, 10000
wounded soldiers would
not be alive today; 5000
men who would have been
crippled for life would
not have been restored to
health; the Army's death
rate from disease would
be twenty times higher
than it is, and the Incl
dence of malaria in mos

by a combination of
strength, wisdom and
tact, to solve the problem,
or relegate it's people to a
chaos of unrest and civil
war.
The government of
Premier Pierlot in Bel

ceived an ovation in Par

stated, urging a grant of
special power to deal with
the situation:

would not have been re-
duced by IS per cent. This
good news was presented
by Maj. Gen. Norman T.
Kirk, Surgeon General of
the Army, at the recent
meeting of the Association
of Military Surgeons. No
message could be more
heartening to the men in
the armed services and to
the families they have left
behind.
That this triumph must
be attributed in part to
the remarkable progress
made in the last 20 years
in surgery and in the treat
ment of injuries and di-
sease with blood plasma,
the sulfa drugs and peni-
cillin we all know. Equal
ly important but less ap-
parent is the organization
which has been created to
succor those who have fall
en- in battle or who have
been laid low by disease in
jungles, deserts and cap
tured cities threatened by
epidemics. In no war of
history could a belligerent
assert that $4,000 military
patients are discharged in
a week-the equivalent of
So divisions in a year.
That such a record should
have been established
when the wounded and
the sick had to be trans
ported hundreds and even
thousands of miles by
steamer and by air from
remote battlefields testi-
flies to the smooth. working
of a system which is with
out parallel in large-scale
medicine and surgery.
Rear Admiral Luther S.
McIntire, Jr., completed
the picture by his account
of what the Navy has
done. Two hours after
men were Landed IN Nor
mandy the first men to
fall were on their way to
hospitals in England. A
generation ago they
would have lain helpless
for a day. AS in the Army,
the record of lives saved
is striking. Only 2.3 per
cent of the wounded in
the Navy and the Marine
Corps now die. Contrast
this with 8 per cent in the
