'AR COnKESPO.DCNTS.
The StnlTof Which an Expert Is .Undo.
Not nn Evinble Position.
Fiom the Detroit Kreo Press.
General Sheridan once remarked, do
lorously: "The main thing in true
strategy is simply this: First deal as
hard blows at the enemy's shoulders
as possible, and then cause so much
suffering to the inhabitants of a coun
try that they will long for peace and
press their government to make It.
Nothing should be left to the people
but eyes to lament the war." It Is left
for tho war correspondent to witness
the atrocities, in their variegated
forms, and to keep that unsubstantial
thing, called the public, Informed of
each and every movement.
The profession of "war correspond
ent" Is not one of ancient origin, nor
Is it one of cane and comfort, though
to note the applications received at
every newspaper ofllce, one might
Judge It to be a life of luxury. Some
imagine that tho correspondents take
their positions In the background, away
from tho flying bullets. This Impres
sion may have been gained by an ac
count sent by Stephen Crane to an
English Journal during the recent Ar
menian troubles. The account de
scribed a village tavern, Instead of
warfare, and the author's portrait was
sent as a suitable Illustration for tho
article.
It Is n notable fact that the first war
correspondent, as we now understand
the term, Is still living. When the
Crimean war broke out the London
Times sent a young Irishman to the
front to record the deeds of England's
armies. The siege of Sebastopol was
described with wonderful minuteness
by him, and from the trenches of the
besiegers, he Is said to havo witnessed
every Important event of the Crimean
campaign. This veteran pen artist was
"William Howard Russell, who, after
serving through the Indian mutiny,
camp to this country to witness our
Civil war, where his biased description
of the battle of Bull Run gained for
him the sobriquet of "Bull Run Rus
bell," and ultimately resulted In his
return to England the following year.
His work as a war correspondent did
not end here, however; he followed the
Austrian army In Bohemia In 1866, and
told of the trials and triumphs of the
Franco. Prussian war of 1870. But his
name will be handed to posterljy as
the man who drew the glowing pen
picture of the memorable siege of Se
bastopol, The most rioted correspondent of the
present day is Archibald Forbes,' who
gained his first impression of war as a
common soldier In the Royal Dragoons.
He described the fall of the Commune
in a vigorous manner for the London
Dally News, and, In 1877, his descrip
tion of the war in Turkey gained for
him a reputation ns ono of the world's
greatest war correspondents, Mr.
Forbes recently remarked:
"It Is virtually impoflble that any
one can have accurately pictured to
himself the scene In Its fullnes which
the next great battle will represent
to a bewildered and shuddering world.
"Wo know the elements that will con
stitute its horrors; n we know them
only, as It were academically. Men
have yet to be th.rlljed to the heart
by thr-'welrdriees of wholesale death
SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Hank to Mrs. Pinkham.
Tho following letter to Mrs. rink
ham from Mrs. M. Rank, No, 3,351
East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia,
Pa., Is a remarkable statement of re
lief from uttex discouragement. She,
soys:
" I never can find words with which
to thank you for-what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegctablo Compound has dono
for me.
" Some yenrs ago I had womb troublo
and doctored for a long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times I
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt tomething
terrible creeping over mo, I knew not
what, but kept getting worse, I can
hardly explain my fcelihgs at that
time. I was bo depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys
teria, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safo to bo left
alone.
" Indeed, I thought I would loso my
mind. No ono knows what I endured.
" 1 continued this way until tho last
of February, when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of n lady whoso caso was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegcta
blo Compound. I determined to try it,
and felt better after tho first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
henrt, 'Thank God for such a medi
cine." Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her atjynn, Mass.,
for advice. All such letters aro seen
and answered by women only.
Inflicted by missies poured from weap

be discerned because of the absence
of powder smoke. Nay, if Dr. "Welss's
recently Invented explosive,' of which
great things have been predicted, is
to be brought Into use In the German
army, there mny no longer be any
powder, the 'Villainous saltpeter' being
superseded by the more devellsh "fatty
substance of a brownish color.' The
soldier of tho next war must steel
his heart to encounter the deadly dan

plosive In the midst of dense masses
of men."
An American correspondent who,
with Forbes, was In Servla when the
Russian Invasion began was Januarlus
Aloyulus MacGahan) MacGahan, as
correspondent of the New York Herald
which Journal's work In the field
pf war coirespondence has never been
equaled by any other American news
paperexposed horrible atrocities com
mitted In Bulgaria by the Bashl
Bazouks In 1876. History tells tw that
it was MacGahan's dispatches that
turned the tide of public opinion
against any thought of armed oppo
sition to Russian Intervention, and
led to the emancipation of the Bulgar
ian nation. Grlbayedoff eays that to
this day the Bulgarians look upon him
as their savior, and cherish his mem
ory as that of national hero.
The position of the war correspond
ent Is not in the rear, but oft times In
the very front of the battle In the
thickest of the fight. Of the four men
who were sent by London newspapers
to picture the battle of Metemneh on
the Nile, Frederick Vllllers alone es
caped uninjured; St. Leger Herbert, of
the Morning Post, and J. A. Cameron,
of the Standard, were killed outright,
and Colonel Burleigh. f the Dally Tel
egraph, was wounded. Many other
brave correspondents who were sent
to the Esyptlan campaign, still He be
neath the burning sun that poura down

The New York Hcrnld was the only
American Jojrnal to send a corres
pondent to the Franco-Chinese diffi
culties In Tonquln- and consequently
Colonel William A. Gilder made a rep
utation in the field. When the two
Mongolian powets bet;an quart ellng a

IndHposed to look upon the situation

World, hastened to send James Creel

respondents of the London Times and

THE MODERN WAR SURGEON
Will Be Able lo Do More Than Those ol
'61 Deadly Gangrene May Now Be
Almost Certainly Averted,
From tho Worcester Gazette.
With war between the United States
nnd Spain actually taking place many
men will fall under the terrible fire of
modern guns, and there will be many
wounded to be treated upon tho field of
battle and In tho hospital of the ship
of war. But there Is comfort In tho
fact that medical and surgical sclenco
has progressed greatly since the war
of tho Rebellion, nnd wounded men will
have an' cnonnoua advantage over
thoie who then fell, both in their treat
ment on the field and in the hospital.
Not that war will be robbed of Its
hcrrors, for perhaps as many men will
die In proportion to those engaged ns
In the bloody battles of the Rebellion.
Perhaps the denth rate will bo even
greater, for the combination of modern
armamtnt and modern tactics Is yet to
bo tested under the conditions which
are pretty sure to exist If the country
goes to war with Upaln. But after a
man Is wounded he will have a much
better chance of living than In tho old
days, ns a usual thing.
TEACHINGS OF EXPERIENCE.
Dr. J. Marcus nic- of Worcester, was
a surgeon In the army all through tho
war and had much expcrlenco on the
field of batth.'. Ho was the surgeon" of
the Twenty-fifth Massachusetts regi
ment, which suffered more than almost
any other regiment In all the northern
army. At Cold Harbor the Twenty-fifth
lost more men than any other regiment
in a single battle. Dr. Rice is conse
quently well qualified to talk of the
treatment of the wounded In the Rebel
lion, and to draw comparisons with
what the treatment will bo In more
modern wnrfare.
In the first placp, said Dr. Rice, the
wounded will have the advantagp of
antiseptics. Ono of the horrors of the
Civil wur was gangrene. Many men'
who would have otherwise recovered
lost their lives from the entrance of
this terrible poison into their wounds.
It could not bo helped. Operating had
to be done tn a hmry because of tho
great number of men to bo treated.
Oftentimes there was an insufficient
supply of water; that used in tho
washing of wounds of one man had to
be used on those of tho next. Sponges
were employed, in themselves sufficient
to convey the contagion even when
there was enough of water. And tha
exposure to the hot sun was so general
that wounds became Impregnated with
gangrene even before the victims ar
rived at the field hospital.
SELECTING A HOSPITAL SITE.
It wae the duty of the surgeons to
select a site for a field hospital before
the Impending action, when there was
warning of a fight, and to make every
possible arrangement for the treat
ment of the wounded and the com
fort before and after being placed
upon the operating table. In the field
such arrangements must of necessity
be more or less primitive. No great
bulk could be carried; only what was
absolutely Imperative was at hand for
the use of the surgeons. For an op
erating table a door or a few boards,
covered with a piece of carpeting, or
matting, or whatever could be ob
tained for the purpose, were sup
ported upon crotched sticks. Boughs
answered for a resting place for the
wounded, and boughs alone protected
them from the heat of, tho eun, but
did not protect them from the rain If
the weather was wet. The men took
their turn, the more severely wounded
first, the others afterward.
When there were houses in the vi
cinity ono or more were seized for hos
pital purposes, but as a rule the op
erating was done In the open air and
the men were taken care of out of
doors In preference to crowding them
Into a building for fear of the dreaded
"crowd poisoning," which resulted
from too close quarters of tho wound
ed. This latter danger would not be
so serious today, because of the anti
septics, but otherwise the field hos
pitals would not be so very different
when the column was away from its
base.
HORROR OF GANGRENE.
Dr. Rice told of several Instances to
Illustrate the horror of gangrene. At
Cold Harbor a chaplain of a Vermont
regiment was brought to him for
treatment, wounded In the fleshy part
of the calf of one leg. The doctor con
gratulated him upon hi injury, and
when the clergyman looked up In sur
prise he explained, that he would now
have to go home, as his days of use
fulness In the army were ended and
he would be hereafter free from the
dangers of battl? and would be as well
as ever but for a trifling limp. But
the war would probably be ended bo
fore he was able to resume an active
life again. The chaplain was sent to
the base hospital at Fortress Monroe,
and a little later Dr. Rice was shocked
to hear that he had died of tho wound,
gangrene having set In.
Another Instance was still more terri
ble. It was In this same action. The
doctor had noticed a man lying on the
ground near his table and supposed
him to be one of the less seriously
wounded who were about the place
waiting for the serious cases to be dis
posed of beforo being treated them
selves. Finally there was a letting up
In the rush of the work, and the doctor
walked over to the recumbent man and
asked him Tihero he was wounded. The
man showed a wound. In the thigh; It
was already attacked with gangrene,
nnd there was nothing In the world
to do for him but to make him more
comfortahle and to let him die. VChe
heat had caused the polwm to appear
with Incredible quickness.
USE OF ANTISEPTICS.
The use of antiseptics will do much
to prevent fatal results from many
wounds which would cause death under
the same conditions as those which ex
isted in the Rebellion, When the
wounded are flrBt picked up on the field
antiseptics will be applied with the
temporary bandages. And when the
wounded man lp placed upon the oper
ating table he may be sure that all pos
sible precaution will be taken to pre
vent blood poisoning. If thero Is not
enough water what there Is will bo so
thoroughly treated with antiseptics
that contagion of gangrene or other
poisoning will be practically Impos
sible. Sponges will not be used, prob
ably, for the modern method Is to uso
cotton cloth and throw it away as soon

as onco used.. But If sponges were
used, they, too, would bo so filled with
antiseptics that there would bo very
Utile danger from them.
There will be other advantages than
thosa produced by tho use of antisep
tics. Medicines nro now put up in
forms very'casy to carry." There may
bo more convenient operating tables,t
though Dr. Rico doubted if a portable
operating table would have sufficient
stability for tho purposes for which It
was intended. And another very Im
portant feature In the treatment of the
wounded will be In the matter of food,
for nowadays pretty much everything
In the way of a sick room delicacy Is
put up In the form of compressed food
or, In cans of glass or tin.
EXPOSURE OF FIRE.
There 1b one danger to the wounded
which modern sclenco Increases rath
er than decreases. The field hospital
'must necessarily be rather near tho
scene of action for convenience In re
ceiving the Injured, and consequently
the hospital Is often under Are, though
the practice of warfare Is to avoid,
so far as possible, firing upon the hos
pital flag, which marks the place
where the wounded are under treat
ment. The killing range of tho mod
small arm and cannon Is much greater
than of those used In the civil war,
and the danger to the wounded will
probably be considerably Increased
thereby. Dr. Rico was himself wound
ed while standing beside his operat
ing table at the battle of Roanoke Is
land. But such casualties In the hos
pitals were not frequent. Tho doctor
recalled ono Incident of Cold Hnrbor,
which Illustrates what may happen in
warfare. A Bhell fell into the field
where the wounded were resting after
treatment by the surgeon, and burled
Itself In the earth near where two
men were lying, each of whom had
Just submitted to the amputation of a
leg. They scrambled away as fast as
they could, crawling, to avoid the
bursting of tho shell. The missile did
not explode, but the effort to get away
was too much for one of them, and he
died from the shock.
NEWSPAI'Elt IIBPOIITEUS.
Tholr FnlrOllndedncss, Scrupulous
Care, Itelinblllty nnd Intcgritr
From the Philadelphia Times.
A very common error Is prevalent
that the woik of reporters, given In
newspapers, as a rule Is not entitled to
respect or credence. It Is snerally
assumed that tho reporter writes chief
ly or wholly to make a sensation or In
some way Interest leaders without re
gard to facts, while Just the reverse Is
the truth In all icpu table newspaper
establishments.
It is safe to assume that the state
ments of reporters given In the loading
reputable Journals of the countryaro
quite as truthful as are the general
statements from the pulpit when the
minister gets outside of strictly re
ligious teachings, nnd vcrj: much moro
truthful than are the public expressions
of most If not all of the leading profes
sions. With very few exceptions tha
managements of our leading daily
newspapers enforce truthfulness and
fairness as the supremo attributes for
a newspaper writer, and yet it is com
mon for all who are displeased with
any reportorlal statement to say that
"it's a mere newspaper story."
It is .true that there are a fwv con
spicuous exceptions to the rule that
governs the reputablo newspapers of
the country. j
Not only are the managers of our
leading newspapers entitled to great
credit for the scrupulous care they en
force on their reporters and corres
pondents to present the truth with as
exact fairness ns is possible, but the
public little know the ceaseless care
that is exercised In every reputable
newspaper ofllce to prevent the publi
cation of even tho truth when It would
be more harmful to publish than to
suppress it. There Is not p. wc-ek, In
deed hardly a day, that the newspapers
of this city do not suppress the facts
proper for public Information which
would make a most Interesting story
solely because It would bring a flood of
sorrow to the Innocent and helpless and
cast an Imperishable shadow upon their
lives. With all the errors necessarily
committed In a newspaper office by
reason of tho haste with which the ar
ticles must often be prepared, tho pub.
lie little know with what thorough in
tegrity the newspapers, ns a rule, pro
tect the Innocent even at the cost of
suppressing legitimate and interesting
information. The skeletons of hun
dreds of households are carefullr
guarded In the newspaper oflireo of the
country, and generally without even
the knowledge of the people who are
thus protected.
