THE SCHAiNTON TlUBUiYE-WEDNESDAY. JUNE 8. 1SJ.
COL. GIRARD'S
NEW METHOD
Injured Will Not Be
Touched Until Battle
Is at an End.
HIS REASONS FOR THIS
Believes It Will Result in a
Decrease of Deaths.
AMBULANCE COUPS WILL HE KEPT
INTACT, DISCiriilNE WILL HE
I'UESEIIVIJD AND AS BOON AS
1'HACTICAULE 111E GUKATCST
l'OSBIULE SERVICES WILL HE
KENDEUED TO THE lNJfHED.
T11KHE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY
THAT THE CAMP WILL HE MOVED.
SECOND COUPS WILL REMAIN IN
TACT. Special from a Slnft Corrci-pondent.
Camp Alger, Vn June. 7. What nt
first seems to be a heartless rule has
been adopted Into the hospital drill
regulations dratted by Chief Surgeon
Ulrnrd. It Is that wounded men shall
be allowed to lie where they fall un
til the lighting about them ceases. In
the old hspltal corps manual the rule
was thut the bearers of the stretcher
corps should keep close to the engaged
lines, and as fast ns the men fell jdck
them up and enrry them back to the
hospitals. I'nder the new drill the
hospital men must keep themselves
out of danger at all times, remaining
nut of range of fire until the battle
cense, or until the line changes Its
position. Then the stretcher men wilt
gather up the wounded and bear them
back to the surgeons and stewurds at
the hospitals.
I saw Colonel Glrard In regard to
the new rules and had a long talk
villi hlrn concerning his plans. Ho
said he realized that the uninitiated
would at llrst glance view with some
astonishment the regulation In regard
to allowing wounded men to remain
unrnred for until such time as the hos
pital corps could attend to them with
out exposing themselves to danger.
Instead of being Inhumane, Colonel
Glrard Insisted, it was Just the oppo
site, for it would positively decrease
the percentage of fatalities.
Only 10.") out of every 250,000 men
slain In battle die from hemorrhage,
the colonel went on to say. This per
centage Is so small that It can be
disregarded. The percentage of non
combatants such ns compose the hos
pital corps, who are killed in conflict
Is comparatively as groat as the per
centage of actual combatants killed.
This can bo avoided by disregarding
the inllnitesinial percentage of deaths
from hemorrhage, and that is what it
Is proposed to do.
STILL ANOTHER REASON.
Another reason for keeping the hos
pital corps out of danger Is that Its
efficiency may not be Impaired. The
experience has been that when a hos
pital corps should be most efllcient,
that is at the close of a skirmish It has
been virtually disorganized by gaps
in its ranks, loss of paraphernalia and
Impairment of discipline. With these
Impediments to efficient work removed
not only will the lives and limbs of
the hospital men themselves be saved,
but the percentage of deaths of wound
ed combatants will be decreased by
reason of the superior work that ful
ly organized and equipped and thor
oughly disciplined hospital corps can
do. There will be exceptions to the
rule, of course. Colonel Glrard says,
when circumstances demand It, but as
far as practicable this Is the plan upon
which the second army corps hospital
staff will work.
In this connection it Is apropos to
note some figures Colonel Glrard gave
nn the results of modem and recent
battle. Out of every 100 men engaged
twenty per cent, are wounded or ren
dered unfit for duty by exhaustion. Of
this twenty per cent, eighteen per cent,
or about four men are killed outright
and twenty per cent, die in the hos
pital. The other sixty-two per cent
or 12 men recover.
Colonel Glrard ha been an army
surgeon since 1R67. He has nlvvays
stood high In the estimation of his su
periors and was commissioned to go
abroad during various of the continen
tal disturbances In the field and to
study their .methods nt the military
schools. The faith that his superiors
have In him Is attested by the fact
that Surgeon General Sternberg gave
him carte blanche in the matter of
dealing with the wecond corps hospit
al plans and General Miles has given
the plans his official approval and
personal compliments.
AHOUT MOVING.
The. probability of the camp being
ioved grows stronger every day. The
commissioner appointed to deal with
Your friends may smile
But that tired feeling:
Means danger. It
Indicates impoverished
And impure blood.
This condition may
Lead to serious illness.
It should be promptly
' Overcome by taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla,
Which purifies and
Enriches the blood,
Strengthens the nerves,
Tones the stomach,
Creates an appetite,
And builds up,
Energizes and vitalizes
The whole system.
s Be. sure to get
. Only Hood's.
the mntter, at the head of which
Colonel Cllrnrd, chief surgeon of the
corps, received un olllclal order from
the. war department yesterday to pro
ceed nt onco with Its work.
Tho report given out by the war de
partment, or that which tho newspaper
men received as coming from the war
department and purporting to be the
finding of the commission experts on
tho condition of Camp Alger Is ie
pudlatcd by the members of the com
mission. Major Moore,, one of tho
commission, said yesterday "That is
not our report. In faot wo have not
mado a final finding yet. When we
do yoit can rest assured It will not
deal as lelcntly with Camp Alger as
does thnt report furnished the news
paper men."
It Is believed that tho commlaslon
has notified Secretary Alger thut this
place Is far from what It ought to be
and that troops should never have
been sen' here until provisions had
been made for furnishing a sufficient
supply of water. The war department
with a view of letting Itself down easy
Inspired the mild report given out f-'nt-urday
and proceeded at once to find a
better ground In anticipation of the
commission advising that the cunip be
moved without delay.
Here it ousht to be said that the
conditions nt present are all light. The
water supply, while It Is far from con
venient, is nmplo for drinking nnd
conking purposes. It, however, does
not admit of bathing facilities, so nec
essary to the health and comfort of nn
nrmy and furthermore, If the number
of men here Is Increased to any Inrge
degree or If the hot weather diminishes
the flow of the springs nnd wells, ns Is
the usual cuse, there will not be water
enough for cooking and drinking.
WILL REMAIN INTACT.
This second corps will remain here
almost Intact for the greater part of
the summer. The condition of the
various regiments In the matter of
uniform, equipment," discipline and
drill makes this almost Imperatlve.and
In further substantiation of this state
ment. Colonel Glrard said yesterday,
unhesitatingly, positively nnd with an
air of authority that General Grahum's
command, when It moved, would move
as a whole, and that would not bo un
til It was completely equipped and
trained. Parenthetically, It might be
noted, that he wont so far as to dis
cuss his plans for moving the hospital
staff, how it would be divided Into
three sections and how each would
have a separate train while In this
country or caravan of ambulances nnd
wagons when In Cuba or Porto Rico
he wasn't sure which would be the
destinatlon-iund so on.
Accepting that the corps will remain
virtually Intact or that a large body
of men will be maintained here by sup
plying with the newly recruited com
mands, the places vacated by troops
called to the front from time to time,
this camp site will not be satisfactory.
It has not the natural conveniences
and alt this talk about reservoirs and
water works and the like to the con
trary the necessary conveniences can
not bo supplied artificially. One of
two things hns got to be done, either
to scatter the troops In brigades over
a wide expanse of territory In this
vicinity or move the camp to some
satisfactory site. The former plan Is
plainly objectionable. The latter is the
likely one.
When the war department Is next
heard from on this question It will be
In the shape of a general order giving
the findings of the two commissions
ami, it Is safe to say, directing that
the troops be moved to the new camp.
Falls Church was thrown Into a state
of gient excitement yesterday. Tho
cavalrymen wanted to practice cap
turing a town and picked the quiet lit
tle country village as Its victim. Tho
troopers swooped down on the place
about a o clock on the afternoon, two
hundred strong, dashed up the main
street on a wild gallop yelling like a
lot of Cumin-inches and upon reaching
the centre of the village separated into
small squads, which scattered them
selves in all directions, taking posses
sion of stores nnd shops and compel
ling the people on the streets to betake
themselves within doors and stay there.
IWore the townsfolk fully realized what
was going .mi a bugle call brought the
troopers together again nt the town
pump nnd of" they dashed through the
cloud of dust their wild entre had rais
ed, never halting until they reached th"
camp three miles off. When the Falls
Churchers found out what It all meant
tluy were quite pleased to think their
little town had been of such great ser
vice to the .soldiers and agreed to send
word to the troopers that any time they
feel like capturing a town and frleht
onlns the tovnspei.ple out of their wits,
whv come to Falls Church. But the
troopers enjojtd It.

OVATION FOR GENURAL WILEY.
Tendered to lllm on Ills Departure
from Ml Home In I'rnnlilln.
Franklin, June 7. Urlgadler General
John A. Wiley left his home In this
city, yesterday to report to General
llrooke nt Chlckamauga. He will prob
abyl be unsigned to command the Third
brigade, composed largely of Pennsyl
vania troops. He was given a great
send-off. Mays post, G. A. 11., led by
the cornet band, nnd followed by two
thousand people, niar.y of the pupils
of the public schools carrying flags,
escorted him to the Erie depot, nt
noon.
As the train pulled out every steam
whittle In the city was s?t going, can
nons were lired, and the great crowd
cheered, and such n farewell salute
given as was never extended to anyone
leaving the oil regions. Shortly before
his departure the members of the Nur
sery club presented General Wiley with
a beautiful horse for which one thou
sand dollurs war, paid, and a cavalry
outfit, such as belongs to his rank.
OOSSIP OP THE CAMP.
From a Staff Conopondent.
Acting Hrlgadler Surgeon C. R. Parke
was yesterday Introduced to Surgeon
Geneiat Steinberg by his aide, General
John G. J'arke. find had a pleasant In
terview with the chief of the medical
end of the nnny. During the visit Dr.
Parke was both pleased and surprised
to leain that a former tutor who Is a
personal friend of General Sternbrg,
had. without solicitation or even notice,
recommended him for a permanent
place as brigade surgeon. General
Sternbeig Intimated, too, that the re
commendation wns one that had much
weight In the olllclal army circles. The
chances of Dr. Parke securing one of
these posltiotu; are not very bright. The
brigadier-generals appoint their own
staff' and unless some general makes
requisition on the war department for
a fitting surgeon, which Is a very slim
possibility, Dr. Parke will have to watt
until he cultivates n pull with a briga
dier. Twenty-seven brigadier surgeons
were appointed Saturday on the recom
mendation of as many different briga
diers. One of these will be assigned to
the brigade of which the Thirteenth Is
a pint, when th" successor to Colonel
i.'oiiTen arrives. If good fortune should
decree that Colonel Coursen will not be
relieved of the luigadiershlp, the ques
tion if Dr. Parke's promotion will ad
mit of no further discussion.
A guard has bten placed on head
quarters street and no outlined man Is
allowed thereon, except en business at
headquarters, and he must secure per
mission from one of his oth'-ers before
he ean come on the street even on nn
erra'id of this kind. Tliir order war. ne
cessitated by the fact that thei" are so
inaiiv recruits In the regiment unac
quainted with the rules of military de
corum. One unsor histKited reel tilt the
oth'-'i' day strolled clown the street,
walked Into Colcnel Cmren's tent the
colonel being absent helped himself to
a dilnk of the water and went his way
just as unconcerned ns It he had not
don; onietlmg that would throw Col
onel Doiigheity Into a fit.
Corporal Eugene Fellows, of Com
pany F, will go to West Point on the
Htli Inst., to try again for entrance.
Hrlgade Surgeon Parke yesterday made
an examination of him and found that
the slight spinal curvature which In
capacitated him at his first examina
tion has entirely disappeared. Through
Major Parke. Colriel Glrard has Inter
ested himself in Corporal Fellows and
has agreed to conduct the physical ex
amination himself If the West Point
authorities will deputize him. JlaJ r
Patke and Captain Fellows will make
an effort to have this clone. If they
do not succeed. Corporal Fellows ., ill
undergo examination at V'-'st Point,
He has alreudy passed th" mental
nminatlon nnd If he can successfully
get through the physic il test and
Major Parke Is confident he can- he
will enter West Point nt th com
mencement of the suinm.T encamp
ment, the latter part of the present
month.
The regiments which allowed their
wnlty to lead them Int 'thing dress
panicles Sunday ".'hen theij was u big
crr.wd of visitors, received a P'dnted
rebuke in a ueneral order from corps
headquarters y.-Mterdiiy. It read: "TI.e
attention of officers of this command
Is called to the Injunction of President
McKlnley against unnecessary work
on Sunday, us contained in General
Order No. 26 from these headquarters
This order will be strictly obeyed In
this command. (Signed) Mnjor Gen
eral Graham."
No one here could give any definite
Information on tho question of how
the iccrults ubout to be mustered weto
to be examined ns to their physical
fitness, so Major Parke broached the
subject to Surgeon General Sternberg
when he wns visiting him yesterdny.
"Thnt'B a faot; thnt will have to be
attended to. I'll make a note of It,"
said the general. It Is expected thnt
the colonels of each regiment will bu
authorized to detail a citizen surgeon
to do the work.
Camp Alger, June 7. In tho opinion
of the experts who examined Into the
sanitary condition of Camp Alger ut
the direction of the secretary of war,
the camp site Is not unhenlthy nnd
the water supply white not abundant
can be made amply sufficient with
proper management. The commission
does not go Into ectascles over the
camp site however, a? will bo seen
by tho appended report submitted by
them to Secretary Alger:
The water-supply Is obtained from two
driven wells, several living springs, and
a number of surface wells; two addition
al driven v ells are In process of con
struction, from which water was ex
pected to flew today and from the other
by tomorrow. The Potomac river Is
about four rnd nne-hnlf miles from the
camp.tlio na,-est point five und one-nilf
miles larthest.
Tho driven wells nre ceuvenlentlv lo
cated for some regiments; the natural
springs nnd we'ls are distant from 100
yards to on and cue-half miles; the sur
face wells are within the regimental lines.
The quality of water trom the driven
wells und living springs, as determined
by the senses of taste and sight. Is ex
cellent; Its quantity, as estimated by the
engineers, is Inexhaustible trom the
driven wells, but the springs nre said to
full In the dry season; thu surfucc wells
are temporary expedients. The chief sur
geon bus given orders to send sample.! of
the water to the surgeon general of the
army for analysis.
The method of obtaining wnter by the
men has been to carry it In any vessel
they enn gt, buckets nnd canteens being
principally used; later barrels have been
placed In tho camps and wnter has been
hauled. We were Informed that n large
supply of barrels for the whole com
mand was enroute.
The quantity of wnter immediately
uvallnblo for use b the troops has been
confined principally to that for cooking
nnd drinking, being ample for these pur
poses. Where economy wns forced, a
sufficient supply was to be had for laun
dry and washing, but the limited quan
tity available mnde tho supply for bath
ing practically nil. The colonel of one
regiment Informed us that he met tills
difficulty by marching his men to the
Potomac river, distant four nnd one-halt
miles, for a bath. As a sanitary precau
tion, tho meiliiul officer recommended
nnd tho commanding general ordered
that water for drinking purposes be
boiled. As protection against pollution
nnd to economize the supply, guards
were placed over the wells and springs,
nnd the flow during the night wns us"d
In the morning to fill the barrels. In other
respects there Is no ob.'ect'on on sani
tary grounds to the location of this cump.
If this camp is to be maintained, It is
recommended that prompt measures bo
taken for nn Immediate Increase In the
wutcr supnly. so that Its quantity shall
be without limit for all purposes. The
number of driven well should nt once
be increased to one for each regiment,
or a central plant should be established,
made up of a number of driven wells, op
erated by mechanical power, and the
water piped to the regiments whero
bathing arrangements might be conven
iently placed. It Is further recommended
that until measures proposed are finally
completed no more tioops be sent to this
camp.
It Is "captain" ns often as "chap
lain" with the men of the Thirteenth
when nddrsslng their revered ' and
popular shepherd. Attired In his full
regimentals shoulder straps, campaign
hat, boots nnd spurs he Is so much
the soldier in appearance that one
Involuntarily prefers to give him his
military title to thnt which carries
with It the sense of peace. And he Is
a soldier, too, being the only veteran
of the civil war in the whole regiment,
General Coursen excepted. One of the
useful and ornamental particularly
useful adornments of the captain's
tent Is a "housewife," which lie car
ried with htm In the civil war. Some
of the needles and pins remain In the
cushions Just ns his mother placed
them, when she was preparing her slx-teen-yenr-old
boy- for his Journey to
the front.
A genera: order was promulgated to
day giving the Insignia to be worn by
the volunteer officers on their coat col
lars. It Is "!'. S. V." followed by
cross-guns, sabres or cannon, accord
ing to which of the three arms of the
service tho officer is attached.
The Pennsylvania soldiers, accord
ing to a General order sent out from
the war department Saturday, are to
have two clays cut from their time of
service at Mt. Gretna. This is the or
der: "The time between enrollment
nnd muster Pito t'nlted States service
referred to in General Order No. 26,
current series, from this office, as the
Interval during which the United Stntes
will provide for the maintenance of
volunteer reel tilts, cannot, ordinarily,
under Paragraph 821, Army Regula
tions, exceed six days." The Thir
teenth regiment was twenty-two days
on the Mt. Gretna tour of duty. The
state paid it for fourteen davs; the
I'nlted States will pay for only six
days. The other two days will have to
bo contributed to the poor I'nlted
Stntes alonrr with the cots for Its hos
pitals that the people of Washington
had to contribute.
"Hereafter, the 'Star Spangled Han
ner' and 'America' will not be played
by nny band In this command In con
nection with other melodies, or ns
medleys or in any wny as light music.
These airs when rendered must be
played In their original form, entirely
separate from other melodies. They
may be pluyed as the concluding num
bers of programmes." Tho above
order was Issued yesterday by Majoi
General Graham. Its purpose Is evi
dent. It Is an unwritten rule In many
parts of the country to uncover when
these pieces are being rendered and It
has become a quite general custom
here. The custom, however, was
threatened with obliteration by the sac.
