THE CADUCEUS.
THE END MAN
Mister Thompson, . Fs done read
where the Sultan am dead, the Kaiser
has nervous prostration, poor debils
they is guaiii ter be ruined. Charles
am the same and soon will be no em
perors ter boss the solid.
W'har does you say now Sambo?
You see the Americans done stole der
K-'iser’s goat, the Italians am plucking
der Austrians goose, der English is
gucin ter raid der Turkish harem,
rnd Gawd knows what the French am
gnain ter do.
Never mind Sambo, answer me this
ouestion: Wlial is the difference be
tween accident and misfortune?
I give up, mister.
"Well, it IS like this. If the Kaiser
falls in tiiB river it is an aclcdent
- no if some fool rescues him it is a
a misfculune
One may have a million friends,
but if ho has a bit of hard luck he usu
ally finds himself deserted. Would-be
but misery.
Say, Sambo, how would you like 'to
be a captain in this war, lead your
men with your sword drawn and yell,
come on boys?
No, sah. Ah would rather be behind
and say gowan boys.
■ Yon bay you wouldn’t fight Ger-
nuins?
Yea. sah, l.u', I raiher have mah ra-
sor.
WOUNDED FROM THE FRONT IN
FRANCE.
The division in the Army Surgeon
General’s office charged with the
maintenance in this country of hos
pitals for sick and wounded to he re
turned has made some interesting cal
culations in regard to the number
that may be expected and the nature
of the cases to be treated. FYom fig
ures based upon the experience of the
Allies, it is thought to be a conserva
tive estimate that fewer than fifteen
per cent, of those disabled by wounds
will be returned to this country for
treatment; the other eighty-five per
cent 'will be treated over there and
after recuperation will return to duty.
The wounded and sick returned will
be held in the hospitals until they are
gt to be discharged, preceding recon
struction treatment up to the point
of vocational training. Many will so
far recover that they can take up
their former occupations; those who
are more badly disabled will be sent
to some of the vocational schools. The
tuberculosis patients will be sent to
sanitoria, and every effort will be
made to restore them to health. “Not
only for humanitarian reasons, but as
an economic proposition,’’ said a mem
ber of this division, “it is the proper
course to preserve for the nation all
the man-power that can be saved; and
with this principle in view the sur
geons in the base hospitals plan their
operations accordingly, and o^e of
their objects will be to restore the
wounded to usefulness. The hospit
als here are fully pre])ared to meet
any emergency.’"
Kaiser Bill is beginning to swallow
hard on that Adams-apple of his. He
finds that the American force has;
S-tick-to-it-iveness,
0- bedience.
L-ife,
D-iscipline,
