It is the rule of the Japanese surgeons at the front to do little or 110 operating except in cases of extreme emergency or whore hemorrhage threatens immediate death. All cases are treated by the application of the lirstaid dressing and thou sent to the rear as quickly as possible, thence by hospital boat or trail snort to tlif> lin?o hnsnttn!* lii Japan. "The Japanese soldier lias been taught liow to treat his Intestines? and consequently liis intestines are now treating him with equal consideration. His plain, rational diet is digested?metabolized and assimilated. It is not an irritating, indigestible ferlnentip. mess, acting as? a local irri taut, nuil producing gastritis, duodenitis, enteritis, colitis, heptltia and the long list of inflammatory intestinal processes with which we were nil familiar in the hospital "wards at Camp Alger, Chattanooga, Tampa, Cuba, Porto Itico, Montauk Point, etc., in 18!)8. "The great hospitals are there, interne, contagious and infectious dements, their conspicuously empty beds voicing more eloquently than \vorils the most important lesson of the war. A few cases of diseases of the respiratory system are found?colds, bronchitis, and an occasional pneumonia, contracted through exposure in lordlug rivers, exhaustive marches and bivoucking on wet ground, a few more of typhoid (.1 saw only three in .Manehurfci), occasionally one of dysentery ?and a number of eases of berl beri, that former scourge of Oriental arm4 IL'9. "Rut of all the many thousands gatli *" ered in three institutions there wore ^ut few medical cases, and of those scf.vccly^a baker's dozen came under the htvAing of "Diseases of the Digestive System." Therein lies one of the greatest secrets of the Japanese success. Napoleon never made a more truthful statement than when he said. 'An army lights on its belly.* The Japanese have that belly, and they take good care to keep it in lighting order? not by insulting it three times a day by cramming it with material totally unsuited ?o the soldier's necessities, thereby exciting irritations and disease, hut by supplying it with plain, palatable, easily prepared and easily digested ration that can be thoroughly metabolized and converted into the health and energy that makes its owner the ideal lighting machine of the world to-day. "The organization of the niodicnl department of the Japanese Army and Navy is modeled after that of the Germans, with, many added improvements. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the medical department of the army and navy for their splendid preparatory work In this war. The Japanese are the tirst to recognize the true value of an army medical corps. i ii? iin <1 m ui viiiicer is tiiniiipri'seiii. iuii avill And him in countless places where in an American or British army lie lias no place.

As an answer, tlie statement of a distinguished Japanese ollicer, when discussing with me the subject of Russia's overwhelming numbers, is pertinent. "Yos," he said, "we are prepared for that, itussia may lie able to place 2,000,000 men in the Held. Wo can furnish ">00,000. You know in every war four men die of disease for every one who falls from bullets. That will be the position of Russia in this war. We propose to eliminate disease as a factor. Every man who dies in our army must fall on the field of battle. In this way we shall neutralize the superiority of Russian numbers and stand on a comparatively equal footing."
