LOW MORTALITY RATE FOR NAVY

(By Associated Press) "WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The navy's excellent health and low mortality rate during the war Is attributed by Hear Admiral Brats ted, surgeon-general ol the navy, In his annual report today, largely to the Increasing appreciation by commanding officers of the rules of hygiene and sanitation. Where defects in the health system have developed, he says, the blame falls largely on the country's unpreparedness for operations of such magnitude. Compared with an annual rate of 2.7 per thousand for the ten preceding years, the rate rose during the first quarter of this year to 8.9 per thousand per year. This, Dr. Bralsted finds, was due to the unfavorable and avoidable combination of circumstances brought about by the rapid expansion of the navy and the unusual weather conditions in the first quarter of the year. The death rate for the second quarter was low, 3.3, a figure closely approaching the average for peace times." Dr. Bralsted expects the hospital admission rate for the calendar year of '1918 to prove to be lower than the peace time average, despite expansion of personnel and unusual conditions. During the year 193 men were drowned, 30 died from exposure and '47 were killed by gunshot wounds. The war has served, Dr. Bralsted says, to clear the reputations of the (men of the army and navy of the imj pression in the public mind that dlseases due to the social evils were more prevalent In the service than outside. I The service doctors have contended all along the address said, that the ratio ! stood three to one In favor of the trained service men, and statistics compiled by the provost marshal general on the first draft, support them. Tho navy medical department began an organized fight against these diseases 15 years ago, the report says, 'and the demands of the country now has been aroused, until a nation-wide campaign is being waged not only gainst the diseases themselves, but also against the underlying social conditions on which they flourish.

1,513 OFFICERS OF U.S. NATIONAL ARMY WERE ELIMINATED

(Tly Associated Tress WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 Within Cine months after the national guard was drafted into federal service, 1,513 of its officers had been eliminated. Brig. Gen. John W. Heavy, chief of the bureau of militia affairs, said In his annual report made public today. Those included one major-general, 16 brigadiers and 42 colonels. Causes of elimination of the officers are given as physical disability, 511; resignations, 64S: and action of efficiency hoards, 352. Thirty officers were dismissed by sentence of court martial and two are carried on the rolls as deserters. The large number of officers dropped can be satisfactorily explained. General Heavy said, by the fact that only a small proportion had had any military training while a substantial proportion lacked the necessary basic education and physical qualifications. The aggregate strength of the national guard diafted into federal service is given as 12.100 officers and 3fi7,223 enlisted men. "In justice to the organization," the report declared." attention is called to the fact that IS divisions, composed almost entirely of national guard troops, were furnished in the present emergpney. All but three of these divisions are now (Sept. 25) in France."
