Sept. 10.-Among the many in- teresting units in this camp that of the Army Medical Corps is worthy of at- tention. There are various branches of the service. Some work as preven- tive forces. others as curative. The preventive forces keep an eye on the men under their care, check them up and inspect the various sanitary mea- sures, the latrines, the incinerators and the usual devices to get rid of re- fuse and to destroy waste that might cause pollution and bring diseae.s The curative forces maintain the field hospitals and the clearing hos- pital, of which there are two in this campi These forces are supplement- ed by- a third at the moment, the ex- amaning forces whose duty it is .to pass on the physical fitness of the men who have volunteered for the front and to inoculate them against enteric. _ Just now the third force is the busi- est.. They examine men at the rate of 2.000 a day,and pass them on to receive s. jab of the preparation that is designed to render them immune from typhoid. There is another branch that has important duties to fulfil. the veterinary men. They have to examine all horses in camp and to inoculate themagalnst such diseases as these animals are subject to. Judging from the manner in which these examinations and inoculations are being carried out every man and every animal moved out of this camp will be in perfect health and equipped to resist disease. It is probable that as a. further precaution there will be vaccination against smallpox when the division is on the high seas. Stiff Medical Test. It is an interesting scene about the examination headquarters every day. Men are moved forward in battalions of 500 to take the physical test. Close by the Medical Headquarters there is au array of marquees. Each has its board platform and a physician in charge. Men are lined up in sections before each one and enter in pairs to pass before the doctor. The examin- ation is a stiff one. The men have to strip to the buff and perform varions antics to show their freedom of move- ment and agility. lt may look odd to see a big man dancing on one foot and then on the other, but there is no gaiety in his dancing. it is for a very serious pur- pose. Heart and lungs are carefully examined. and the examination as to the condition of men‘s feet and teeth is particularly stiff. These are im- portant items iii a soldier. An infan- tryman with poor feet is helpless, for the man who falls-out on the line of march is of no earthly goodbecause he cannot reach the firing line. For that reason the feet are given a very careful and searching examination. They are insisting on good chest expansion here, and the man wiio can- not expand three inches loses his chance. With such a large amount of men answering the call for volunteers the physicians can afford to be ex- ceedingly strict and the makeup of the first contingent, as far as physical fitness is concerned. ought to be as close to perfection as it is possible to get. Later on they may not be so stern, but now they are. Men who yet lack an eighth of an inch of the required height have been rejected. It is very hard, no doubt, but they have to sufer now. Perhaps their turxi will come later. Don’t Like Vaccination. 'l‘hc men are pretty nervous wliilo awaiting their examination.

There is a difference when a man knows that he has answered the reqnirmcnts of the physician and is ordered forward to another tout for inoculation, but even here many dis- play nervousness. ln the emi when they move out nnd everybody agrees that it did not hurt they become a more cheery lot. .Some men appear to suffer discomfort from the inocula- tion and others are not bothered abit. After inoculation the men are on sick leave and are not subject to drill for a day or until such time as the arm is normal. The two hospitals are interesting places. They are really clearing hos- pitals, and tho clearing hospital is the pivot of the army medical service in the field. The clearing hospital is si- tuated at a safe distance from the front of an advancing army, that is usually out of the fighting zone. The first aid service is given by the regi- mental surgeons. Then the field am- bulances pick up the wounded and re- tire with them to the clearing hospi- tal., There a man i treated for a day. or, at the most .two days.

Just now they have beds, but in the field a special mattress is used. There is tue usual equipment of a dispensary tent and stores. At present the two hospitals here have been attending the various ills that will be found in any large body of men, but there is nothing' of a "seri- ous" nature to be attended to. There were a couple of cases of measles, but prompt and efficient iso- lation prevented any spread of this disease. The dispensary. tent is usu- ally a busy spot In the mornings. Men will bash their fingers, and since the artillery have moved in there are men suffering from the effects of kicks from the horses. Each hospital has its dental chair and all the things that go with it. It lacks the style of the city dentist's outfit but it lacks no- thing in effectiveness and the work done serves its purpose. Medical Students There. That section of the Army Medical Service which is. going forward ap- pears to be s. fine lot. The officers, all qualified physicians and surgeons, are keen men, and the pharmacists and dressers are quite up on their work. Among the latter are a number of medical students from McGill. Queens and Toronto who have volunteered for active service. On the subject of the college man there are a large number of them here. They are to be found in every branch of the service, and McGill men appear to have volunteered in force. Perhaps, that appears so because the writer is acquainted with more ~Mc- Gill men. and the wearing of a red and white coat sweater on a cold day attracts the attention. However, there are many of them, and they are all over the place, from Headquarters to the ranks. Even the man in charge of the men constructing the “Panama Canal" which may be translated into the sewer trench, is a. graduate of McGill. And a mighty efficient man he is, too, judging from the speedy manner in which this work has pro- gressed. The engineers have been particularly favored by the college men, science sending her sons for service in generous numbers. C. J. H. RUSSIAN PLAN MAKES POLAND A WAR CENTRE. Russian strategists, at the out- break oi the war, expected- that Ger- inany's first attack upon the (‘-zar’s forces would be into Poland, and. they deliberately left Pol-and open; or invasion, inviting the German attack there, This was done for good reasons, and the Russians chose' Ko\-‘no and Kicfi as their points of concentra- tion, believing that the Germans would push into Poland and find. themselves in a. diillcult. position and in danger of being cut oil by tfhe northern ltusslnn army, if it was able to advance intO.Gcrmany. 'A political consideration was also part of the, Dlarrlbecause the governmentvwas not aware of holding the Poles true to the Russian colors. _ The 'plans of the Russians failed to materiulize because of the Belgian re- sistance, making the German advancg into Poland too risky, and so the Russians reoccupied Poland and ea- lished its forces there. The original plan had been to let the German advance, £0 protract thc campaign into the winter which 'ls a time more favorable for Russian troops than for Germans. . Also tho Russians had constructed caves all along bchind the outposts, huts like burrows, warm .md comfortable even in the coldest weather, and would have been able to combat the Ger- mans nt a distinct advantage, as by thc time of cold weather the ltus- sians would be provided with suit- able clotliing. Thus the Russians are provided “ith the best retiring posi- tions an army could have. GERMAN csN'rnE nerlniue LONDON. September ll.-An offi- cial announcement says the German centre now is retiring.

Mac- Kinnon Druz Co.. comer Great George NAPOLEON Unless all indications fail. Kaiser William will find that the capture of Paris will be quite as disastrous a triumph as was Napoleon's taking of Moscow one hundred years ago. Suffi- cient evidence has been developed in the thirty days the Kaiser’s armies have been in Belgium and northern and eastern France to clearly show that the capture of Paris will not bring France to terms; and for the Germans to persist in attaining this objective. of sentimental but little military value, when the effort daily is becoming more precarious and the position of the defenders correspondingly more for- midable, is to invite a. repetition of the great Napoleonic disaster. By relin- quishing the invasion of France and swiftly concentrating his forces in Belgium, the Kaiser would effect a imaster stroke in relieving himself of a most dangerous territory ami by assuming the defensive near his bases of supplies. Aside from any consideration of the great Russian and Servian victories- which now seem fully confirmed-in the east and south, the simple process of adding and subtracting will show that the Ka.Iser’s attempt to crush France, backed as she is by Eugland’n domination of the seas and ability to secure Russian troops via Archangel and Scotland, is doomed to failure; and a German disaster on a hugely larger scale than Napoleoirs campaign against Moscow can be averted only by the rapid and orderly retreat of the Kaiser's forces from French territory and their concentration on Belgian soil. There, they will be in a position to more advantageously act on the defensive against the overwhelming forces the Allies are able to bring against them. ` Ka|ser's Move is to Fail Back on Belgium. We have seen how the little Belgian army was able to most seriously ham- 'per the l{aiser’s plan for the invasion of France. \Vith thc fortified points of Belgium in the hands of the vastly larger, better trained and equipped Ger- man army, we can see what a formid- able front the Kaiser could plant in the advance of the Allies. Acting strictly on the defensive in the small territory of Belgium, adjoining the German bases of supply at Aix-la- Chapelle and Cologne, the concen- trated German army of invasion not only could defy the attacks of the Allies for an indefinite period, but would be in a position to send rein- forcements to sorely pressed points in the east and south. Probably. no one knows, outside of the Berllu_ War Office. how many Ger- man troops were in the armies invad- ing France via Belgium. It has been estimated as high as 750,000 men. Whether that total is too low or too high is not material for present pur- poses. The point is that, with much greater forces than this pressing on her from the east and middle south, Germany cannot substantially increase the strength of her armies iii France. She can call out her last available soldier and fight to the “ last man "- and so can Russia, France and Eng- ilanrl, and, with the last two, this ex- treme measure will be acted upon to the letter, for this struggle means the very existence of France as a great power and to England it means the maintenance or overthrow of her colonial empire. . Also, probably. no one outside of tho Berlin War Office knows how many of the German invaders have been killed, wounded or are “ missing " sincc their entry into Belgium and northern France. It is highly significant that Berlin abruptly has ceased giving out the list of casualties. We do know, however, that thc losses of the Allies have been staggering, necessitating the immediate calling out of much larger masses of trops than were first deemed suflicient to check the inva- sion. The latcst oiilcial list given out in London admits tiiat down to Sop- tombcr 1, tho total losses in the British army of from 100,000 to 150.000 men have been 15,151, or fully ten por cent. German Losses Must Number 150,000. We also know, from the nnturc of the fortifications ntackcil by the in- vaders that thc German losses must have been double that oi' thc do|`oii- ders; some reliiiblc estimates placing it as high as three to one-which by no means is improbable. But, reckon- ing it on tho lowest reasonable basis, namely, 20 per cont., wc llnd that tho invaders, down to September 1, have their total initial strength of 760.000. ‘ We realise the full significance of this appalling total-one fifth of thc invading army eliminated from its fighting capacity-when we remember that down to this stage of the invasion, the Germans have been engaged in what may bo considered “ inereiy out- post skirmishlng."
