EQUIP MEN FOR NEW WORK Surgical Experts Will Endeavor to Re turn Wounded Fighters to Civil Life as Self-supporting Citizens. The whole conception of govern ment and national responsibility foi caring for the wounded has undergone radical change during the months ol study given the subject by experts serving with the Medical Officers' Re serve corps and others consulting with them. Instead of the old Idea thnt responsibility ended with the return of the soldier to private life with his wounds healed and such pension as he might be given, It is now considered that It Is the "duty of the government to equip und re-eduentc the wounded man, lifter beullng his wounds, mid to return him to civil life ready to be as useful to himself and his country as possible. To carry out this Idea Uncle Sam's plans are well under way for building "reconstruction hospitals" In large cen ters of population. Sites have been chosen, In the following cities: Bos ton, New York, Philadelphia, Baltl more, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati Chicago, St. Paul. Seattle, San I"ran Cisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, Richmond. Atlantti, and New Orleans. Those In Boston, New York, Washington, and Chicago will probably be constructed first. Ench will be built as a 500-betl hospital, but with provision for en largement to 1,000 beds If needed. Training to Be Given. These hospitals will not be the last step In the return of the wounded sol diers to civil life. When the soldiers are able to take up Industrial train ing, further provision will be ready. The Injured man may be retrained to bis previous occupation to conform with hta handicapped condition or retrained for a new Industry com patible with that condition. Addition al education will be given to those fit ted for It, and men may In some cases be returned to more valuable work than that from which they were called to war. Workshops will be provided at the hospitals, but arrangements will also be made with outside Industries whereby more elnborate methods of training may be carried on. An em ployment bureau will be established to place men so trained in different parts of the United States. This whole matter conies under the department of military orthopedic surgery recently organized In the medical department of the army. Arrangements huve been made by the department of military orthopedics to care for soldiers, so far as ortho pedics (tho prevention of deformity) is concerned, continuously until they are returned either to active service or livil life. Orthopedic surgeons will be attached to the medical force near the firing line and to the different hos pitals back to the base orthopedic he pltnl, which will be established within 100 miles of the filing line. In tills hospital, In addition to orthopedic sur gical cure, there will be equipment for surgical reconstruction work and "cur ative workshops" In which men will acquire ability to use Injured members while doing work interesting and use ful In Itself. This method has sup planted the old and tiresome one of prescribing a set of motions for a Dan to go through with no purpose than to reacquire use of his Injured part. It Is not the Intention thnt men able to go hack to the firing line shall be returned to this Country unless their convalescence will extend over a period of n considerable number of months. Soldiers Unable to return to duty will be sent to the reconstruction hospitals in the United States. Instructors and Examiners. Instructors and examiners for all the camps are also being furnished by the department of military orthopedic sur gery. A number of older and more ex perienced surgeons will net its instruc tors iwd supervisors for each of the groups into which the camps will be divided; a number of orthopedic sur geous will be detailed as attending surgeons at each camp to act as ex aminers and as consultants to the camp's other surgeons; directions are being provided for Instruction of med Ical officers In military orthopedic sur gery, emphasis being nintle on foot, back, and Joint conditions as effecting the acceptance or rejection of re cruits; and careful Instruction Is planned for line officers so that they will recognise the simpler orthopedic conditions and refer to the camp sur geon any men who develop them. Semimonthly Inspection will be made of all soldiers' feet and camp surgeons and men detailed for the purpose will be given special Instruction In care of the feet. Courses of Intensive train ing In military orthopedic surgery are being arranged for different universi ties so that the younger surgeons tak ing up the work may enter upon their duties with some special preparation. The course will occupy six weeks.

General Gordon; the Confederate commander, used to tell the following story: He was sitting by the roadside one blazing hot day when a dilapidated sol dier, his clothing in rags, a shoe lack ing, his head bandaged and his arm in a sling, passed him. He was solilo quizing in this manner: "I love my country. I'd fight for my country. I'd starve and go thirsty for my country. I d die for my country. But if ever this war is over I'll never love another country." . A Victim. "And why are you in prison?" "I'm a victim of unbelief, ma'am." "Unbelief?" "Yes, ma'am, I couldn't convince the jury that I was telling the truth." Detroit Free Press. Germany's Penalty. We all know what the last year and a half of the Civil War meant to the South; It well-nigh annihilated their youth. Boys and old men were called to the front, and half a century after the struggle the South 1b only begin ning to recover. Tbis is what another year of the war will mean to Ger many. On the western front, French, British, and American manhood will divide the cost of the battle In human life. But tbe German manhood will have to defray It all and the tax will, therefore, be enormously higher upon the German. Germany, by using enslaved popula tions, by using prisoners, has been able to put a far greater percentage of her manhood on the firing line than her opponents; this has enabled her to hold off her enemies, and still enables her to do it, but it has also compelled her to use up a far greater fraction ol her Human capital ana thus cripple herself In the after-war recovery.
