Mclntire, chief of the Navy Bureau of Medicine Medi-cine and Surgery, says that it has been necessary to remove the Red Cross brassards from hosupital x aye k3cve.ii groups because the Japanese have been using the marks as targets. The Admiral, however, had some good news. The Navy, he reports, has cut the mortality rate among all wounded personnel to less than two and one-half per cent. This compares with nearly eight per cent in the first World War. The experience of the Navy duplicates dup-licates that of the Army. The wounded, in this war, seldom die.
