Why More Io Gained by Wounding Than by Killing an Enemy. in a letter to the Army and Navy Journal a retired army officer says that □o' Intelligent soldier will fire a Jum dum or an explosive bullet at the en emy. for they both kill. The object of the rifleman Is not to kill an enemy, but to wound him. “A dead man is simply one soldier lost from his army. He is not a burden to any one- A wounded Soldier most be taken care of. Four wounded soldiers must have an ambulance with two Horses and an nb|ebodled p«l®er flrtver ••Thirty wounded soldiers must have a Surgeon, a hospital steward and ten or a dosen able bodied soldiers to aid the doctor and wait upon and nurse the wounded men. The ambulances block the roads and delay the troops, espe cially the artillery and the supply wagons. -When a man is hurt every 4|p is anxious to get him at once to a doctor If the troupe on the firing line are not well disciplined and a soldier Is wound ed there will be three or Tour soldiers ■who are willing and anxious to carry him to the rear. “For every soldier wounded the firing Um loses four soldiers, and a hundred men wounded means that 400 men are lost to the firing line, for they never re Join their regiments until the battle is over." >. ■ ■■ ■-x ■ The tin W Trewesre.
