Itri'iit lifii of tlio aliiln, piled Ova
deep In long windrows? Are they nil
burled, or lira many left to He where
they fell?
Those (locations lire answered fully
lu "The' War Manual" edltlou of the
Worlil'a Work. And the following ex
trncti are made In litrite part from It:
Every soldier of every army carries
In aottled tin box flmt aid packet
coimtnllliK of liuinliiifo, antiseptic
Btiuxo and adhesive plimtor. A part of
the training of Die soldier la bow to
UNn these, end If the wound la slight
nd In an aoceaalble place he may ap
ply the dntug hltnaolf; If mure se
vere, comrade may apply It for hint.
The wounded aoldlor, with or with
out Orat aid dressing, If he l able to
walk, paia hack to the roar to the
field hospital, which la alwaya more or
loss sheltered from the tire of the
nrmloa. If he la unable to walk he la
carried back on a litter by the boa
tilinl coria. Aa 'hhi at ho cnu atand
trniiHportntlon he la passed on to the
general hospital and thence In flue
time to the convalescent camp to re-cujx-rnt.
The Zonae of Leaaaa.
The medical Muff of an army la
quipped upon tiie theory, baaed upon
pnt exKrlcnce, Hint 10 per cent will
tie killed or wounded In each battle. If
the number of cnmmltlc la 18,000 the
eatlmato la that fully 20 per cent, or
8.(XX), will be dead on the livid; 8 per
cent or I, WO, will be to severely
wounded that It will be Inadvisable to
wove them; 40 per cent or 7.2i0, will
be able to walk, one-half of them to
the atutlon for the ellKhtly wounded In
the rear, the rent to the field hospital,
nd 82 Per cent will require to be car
rled off the field.
lu deciding iiHin hla arrangement!
fr a bnttle the chief auriceon leara
In mind Hint the wounded wilt be dla
trlbuled In "fconea of lonaea," The
UNtml proportion of wounded In 20 per
cent up to l.Otio yarda range; from
I.imiO to hiO yards rting, 00 t cent;
In tho fluul nuh. 10 per cent; la pur
ult. 10 per cent
The field hoxpitul la not pitched till
the tactical situation develupa and the
point where the mnln attack Is to be
la made known. Then a alto l chosen
beyond the range of the enemy'a fire,
acccNMllilo to front and rear by rond,
yet off tho route of uiartii of advancing
troops, convviilent to wood and water
If poHHllilo, nenr building which may
bo UHcd for the overflow of wounded.
The chief aorKcou haa under him a
corps of surgeons for amputating the
llmba of the wounded ond dressing
wounda and a corpa of litter benrera
and ambulance men. Many acta of
hcrolatu Hint are not recorded In the
annala of the battle are performed by
the men of tho hospital corpa and of
the Ited Cross, who go out often In the
face of terrific firing and gather up the
wounded.
Where an army la Intrenched or
fighting In the cover of a wood or In
any other protected place which It
holds for a long period of continuous
fighting tho gravely wounded are gath
ered up aa they full by tho litter bear
era, aHHlsted by the soldiers, and are
passed buck to tho rear.
Burying tha Daad.
When a fighting army la driven out
of Ita position and tho advancing
enemy rustic over tho fluid and on lu
pursuit tho niedlcnl corpa then ha an
opportunity to gather In tho wounded
left In tho wnko of tho two armies, and
often the niedlcnl corpa of the two op
posing nruiloa work together upon the
field, each carrying off lta wounded.
Often an armistice la taken ao that the
wounded may be picked up and the
lead buriod.
The hint service rendered to tho sol
Jler by the medical stuff la to see that
those killed ore promptly buriod after
the battle, Thore ) no ceremony about
It It la all a matter of the cold, hor
rible business of war. One aquad col
lects the dead In piles, another digs
long, shallow trenches, and the bodies
are packed In the trenches and covered
with earth. .
Often an army Is driven from lta
position and must leave the deod be
hind. Thon they are aoraetlmes burled
by the enemy which occupies the posi
tion, but more often, in the present
wnr, the dend of both armies arc loft
. to bo burled by tho noncombatants.

from a letter of two American engi
neers who reached London from Rou

PITIFUL SIGHTS OF THE
FLIGHT FROM PARIS.
Drama of th Mlddl Agee, Say M.
Brleux Women In Cattl Car.
I)spntclus from Paris to the London
Chronicle picture the misery of tho
refugeca fleeing before the Uermuu ad
vance on Purl.
Kugene Ilrleui, the dramatist wit
nessed tho arrival of a train full of
fugitives at t'hartre aud described but
XMrtenco In the Figaro,
"Children weep or gaze wide eyed,"
be any, "woudorlng what Is the mat
ter. Old folk alt In gloomy silence; tha
women, with haggard cheeks and di
sheveled hair, accuied to belong to an
other ii Ke. What I see is a drama of
the middle ages or even farther back
lu the times of the Huns-days when
whole population fled before wild
horsemen clad In the skins of beast."
One of the fugitives explained to
blm why, after the first hour of their
flight they hud bad to carry the eldor
a well aa the younger children. Bhe
allowed him a pair of boot. "I felt
the Inside with my fingers. The nails
hud como through the soles. I looked
at tha child's feet They were dirty
with red brown clots. It was blood."
Lines of cabs, many of thoai Oiled
with household good, raced through
the boulevards to the southern and
western railway stations.
A woman who had arranged some
time ago to leave 1'arl for Blarrita
bad to be content at the last moment
with a seat on a rough bench In a cat
tle truck, Into which thirty passengers
or wore were crowded, without glim
mer of light
The odd thing Is that there waa an
Inflow aa well a an outflow, though
not on so large scale. First there
waa an uninterrupted stream of refu
gees from the Immediate scene of the
fighting. More then 20,000 of these
poor people were landed at the Nord
station, many of them carrying odd
ments of property, and some of the
children bud been allowed to bring
favorite dog or canary.
