In the early days of the war, wounds were of an average gravity far beyond that expected from the experience of pre-, vious wars, while tetanus, gas-gan- grene and severe suppuration, were general and hundreds died of com- | paratively trivial injuries for lack of early and adequate treatment. This situation has now been al- tered almost beyond recognition. ! Serum treatment has almost done ! away with tetanus, while earlier and ! largely defeated gangrene. case of John | was | to secure | more energetic surgical treatment has More and more of the major surgical work is being carried out in the casualty clearing stations, and some of the most famous of the American sur- geons have spent most of their time since their arrival, in advanced hos- pitals within sound of the German guns. The key to the whole improvement | in surgical results has been the push- ing of the surgeon nearer and nearer | to the fighting lines. The enemy has | endeavored to counter this by persist- ent bombing of the advanced hos- pitals, but the saving of life is more than worth the loss of life, and suit- able defensive measures are being taken. The doctor, as distinguished from the surgeon, has also accomplished wonders in this war. The small mor- tality from disease in the British and | French armies is due to his constant vigilance. His two great weapons have been sanitation and prophylac- tic inoculation. In a scene of un- paralleled confusion and in an area of quite primitive sanitation his exer- tions have resulted in an astonishing degree of sanitary efficlency. Refuse is destroyed or deeply buried; battle- flelds in many cases are cleaned up within a few days; pure water sup- plies are provided. Everywhere be- hind the immediate front, order and cleaniiness are the rule; The rule of the army medical offi- cer is not always welcomed by the in- habitants, but it works with magnifi- cent success, until canrps and towns; which in previous wars would have been death traps, have a mortality as low as the most approved health re- sort. The routine work of these medical officers has probably saved more lives than all the other medical work of the war. Preventive inoculation has robbed typhoid and dysentery of their ter- rors, although all previous wars, these two c responsible for far more deaths than shells and bul- lets.

CORNELL IN DOLDRUMS. Badly Battered by Michigan, It Now Must Meet Fordham. Ithaca, N. Y., Nov. 18.—If the phy- ical condition of the Cornell foot- | ball team does not improve this week Fordham is sure to make all kinds of trouble next Saturday. The Red eleven last Saturday was badly battered by Michigan, an eleven which Dr. Sharpe rates above the team of last year. He was much impressed by the Michi- gan backfield’s work. The attitude of the Cornelf squad is grim determina- tion te see it through, but half a f dozen of the players are in shape. The men who have suffered most are Pendleton, fullback; Ackerknecht, left tackle and Strauss, right guard. Reuther, the center, was in such poor shape that he could not play Sat- urday.
