A Norwegian Protest. The Christianis Seamen's As- sociation has adopted a resolution of protest against "the German marezore of defenceless Nor wegian woman after the British -noort had been destroyed." "The civilised-weild," the motion continuer, has been harrified, in spite of its experience of the strocities of the submarina war. Here there is no question of a war smessure, but a murder of such a degree se would have brought a blash to the obseks of the "bar- barians of the middle ages. For quoh'sh set of war we express our | deepest loathing."
Twin Adgals of War. The doctor has made this war one of the least“ deadly ever fought in proportion to the num- bers engaged, aid Dr. Woods Hatchinson, a Fellow of the American Academy of Medicine, at the Royal Society of Medicine, "In other wars there were 6 to 9 -deaths by disease to 1 in battle or from wounds.- In this war there has been only 1 death from dis-{.. ease to (16 destha in battle. Of the wounded whò survive 6 hours, 9 out of 10 recover; of those who reach the field hospitals, 95 out of 100 recover, and of those who arrive at the base hospitals 98 out of 100 get well. The twin angels, anaesthetics and antiseptice, have not only diminished pain, but have made amputations rarer and grave cripplings fewer. Bately 5 cat. of 100 wounded are crippled or permanently disabled.
