Show Doctors With the Armies. The medical schools in England are being largely depleted for men with medical knowledge to go to the front and work with the Red Cros, according accord-ing to one of the most prominent British weeklies. The time they spend in this sort of work is to count as terms kept in the schools, arid they will ro doubt be very usefu!. The very enthusiasm of the Frencb doctors doc-tors for the war led to a greater de- mand for English doctors, for the Frenchmen all want to be in the fight i ins line. Many medical students from England are also in the fighting line 1 Doctors are not only wanted to look I after the wounded; they can do a,reat I deal to prevent sickness. It is their I busiress to watch the sanitation of the camps, to prevent the contamination contamina-tion of the water supply in short, to do all 'hey can to prevent disease, which, in all previous wars, has been a more deadly enemy than the bullets of opponents. . Happily up to the present pres-ent we have no news of epidemic sickness, sick-ness, and it is certain that the advance i of medical and surgical knowledge has made the lot of the wounded much more capable of being relieved than was the case even 20 years ago.
