in th e report of the Hospital ' Comrnittee. By the kindness of an anonymous donor a sum of £1,000 ha recently been offered for the enlargement of the buildin o', a,nd although this entails a large increa e in the annual co t of maintenance, the 'hapter trusts that a considerable addition to the receipt in the subscription Ii t will enable it to meet this expenditure, and thereby afford the greatly needed relief to human suffering ntail d by the ravages of the frightful disea,se known a, ophthalmia,.

On two other cln,y.· Dr. Jolly took l:tll the

out-patient, and one day was kept quite free for operation, except for any pecial cases. Operation ·were performed it u ual on thre day a week. \V c admitted on ' double days' up to 170, and on other days from 90 to 100 a befor. In conequence our nlllllb l' of attendances ha mounted up from the former twelve or thirteen thou and with one urgeon, to twentyone thou and ·with two surgeon for the econd half year. The increa e has been mainly due to the repeated attenda.nces of tOlyn folk, chiefly Jew : a the nlunb l' of n8l\- ca 'e , chiefly Arab and country fOlk, ,vas only 800 more than our previou highe. t number under one ul'geon. The in-patient and operation hewed no material increa e over tho e of former year, but the object for ,vhich the econcl 'urgeon was 'ent out was attained, ina 'much a ,ve had to refn e but few I a.tient. , notwithst<mdin o' that the ophthalmia. wa, fairly ,eyere thi,' year." The tatement above quoted hewing that there has Geen no material change in the number of in-patients or of operation, means that, as the accoillillodation available for in-patients has remained the ame, and as each ca 'e would require about the same period of re iclence a form 1'1)" no increa 'e of thi' highly important department of the work would be pos. iUe except by an increase of the number of bed ' in which in-patient could be placed. Dr. ant has for a long time de ired to build such an addition .to the Hospital as would place more bed at hi disposal, and the means of accompli. hing this de 'ir have now been provided by the munificence of Mr. Martineau, <L gentleman who has been made acquainted with the nece .. sitie' of the ca e, and who generously oftered a donation of £1 ,000 , which would cover the estimated cost of the required additions, on condition that the new ward should be furnished and occupied, and that the second surgeon should be made a permanent instead of only a temporary officer. The acceptance of the e condition',

on the recotmnendation of' the Committee, has been sanctioned by the Chapter of the Order, and the work will be put in hand with the least possible delay. For the cOllling year, however, the arrangement will be the ame as tho e of last year; and the COllllllittee 1001- forward to th rc-engagem nt of r.

The final competition for the ilver chall nge shield, pre en ted by the A ociation, took place in lay at the Portman Rooms, the judges beino' Dr . R. J. Collie and G. H. Darwin. Out of the fifteen teams entered in the preliminary heats five were selected by the judge to try conclusion, the companios thns repr senteel being: The London and N orth-\Vestern (holder ), Great \Vestern, Great N or thorn, orth-Ea tern, and Cheshire Lines. The trials commenced at 12.30, and fini hed at 6 o'clock, the re nIt being a hard-ea,rned and well-deserved victory for the Great orthern team. The other teams were placed in the following order: Great \Vestern, North-Eastern, London and N orth-\Ve tern, and Cheshire Line, the number of marks gained being Great Northern, 373' Great \Vestern, 337; N orth-Ea tern, 328: London and N orth-'vVestern, 322 ; Cheshire Lines, 306. At the conclusion of the trials the challenge shield and prizes, together with badges of merit gained in the preliminary hats, were presented to the 'winners by the Countess of On low, in the unavoidable absence of the Marchioness of Breadalbane from indisposition. The prizes awarded were: First, fiye plated tea services, in addition to challenge shield; second, five ca os of plated spoons and forks; third, five lamps; fourth, five ca es of carvers; fifth, five biscuit boxes. Badges of merit were gained by the South-Eastern and Chatham, 1'Iletropolitan, Great Ea tern, and :Jlersey RailwFl,y tealllS. On the motion of Viscount Knutsford, a hearty vote of thanks WFl,S given to Lady On low. Lord talbridge also spoke, and paid a high tribute to the work done by the railwaymen in rendering first aid to the wounded. It is gratifying to record that at the lamentable accident which took place in June last at Slough, the services of the 'to John Ambulance n1en were alluded to in The Ti1nes of the I~th inst. in the following terms :A large proportion of the Great -Western Hailway staff at. 'lough :: po '~ss the ambul~~ce certificate, a~d va~uable as ista~ce waR rendered " by tne_I? to the m,J~]J:ed. On theu'. arl'lva~ at Pad~mgton they were " dealt ,nth by the 9-1 eat "e.-tern Railway Company s ambulance corps " at that tatlOn wIt~l. an ample sup~ly of s.tl'etchers and other appliances. The authontle. of • t. :JIal'Y s HospItal have spok n highly of :: ~h~ work done by the Great '~T.estern Hailway ambulance men, and the mJu~'ed have expressed gratItude for the treatment which they "receIved. The Great ,'{estern l1ailway Company have devot d special ,e

11 e attention to the am bulance work among their emptoy6s, and upwards of " 5,500 members of the staff possess the first aid certificate of the •'to

"John Ambulance i\.ssocia,tion. "

The Board of Tra Ie returns of accidents on railways in 1899 afford another proof of the necessity for such instruction. It is stated that during the year 14 pas engel's were killed and 693 injurod in accidents to trains, rolling stock, 01' permanent way. Nineteon railway serva,nts wor lrillod and 196 injured in accident Lo trains, rolling' sto 'k, or pormanent way. Including accident at level C1'O 'sino's, and to trospa. sers, including suicides, the total. [Lre 1,240 kill 1 an 1 7 , 10.1 inJ'ured 1179 . , a. aO'ainst b " killed and 6,:34<: injured in IH9 ). In addition to these, numbers of per ons ,y 1'0 injured by fallin o' oyer packaaes on platform, getting in and out of trains, the clo ino' of carriage doors, tlunbling while walkin o' along the line, &c. Including these accid nLs, th anmd t tal, ar , 1,34<0 killed and 19,1:'55 injured. Amongst tho Polico Eorc 'S ambulance instruction i well maintain d.

The classe h ld under the au pices of the l\lersey Ii ion for Seamen have again been largely attended. At the instance of the North of England Steam hip Owners' A ociation attention has been again called to the advantages ot first aid instruction for the mercantile marine, \,·hi h is at present only carried out on a limited cale, and a communication has been addre ed by th Chamber of hipping of the United Kingdom to the Board of Tra(le recolllmending the inclu ion of this subject in their exaJnination for certificate of proficiency. The obstacle appear to be, hOlyever, that the compul ory subjects an officer ha, to pa s in are already 0 llumeron ' that it is difficult to add to their nnmber, thouo'h the variou, organisations recogni e the benefit. It has been ,'ugge ted that a voluntary examination might be instituted, and the Board of Trade has promised to give the ubject it careful consideration. From a report from two of Her lIaje ty' In pectors of Factorie recently i sued as a Parliamentary paper, it 'would appear that in 1 99 in docks, in wharve , and quays, no Ie than 115 deR,ths and 4,591 non-fatal accidents were returned, an undeniable proof that the occupation of a dock labourer is one of the IDa t dano'erous of tho e that come within the scope of the Factory Acts, and one where a knowledge of ambulance ,vork . hould be continually urged.

I ha'\e the honour of ublllitting the following l' p rt of the material and comfort recei,ed and forward cl for th usc of the sick and ,,"ounded in outh Africa, frOln the 27th tob~r, 1899, to December, 1900. Under the regulations of the entral British Reel \'O.'S Committee the t. John Ambulance s 'ociaLion is al I oint cl to tmdertake the reception and forwardin o' of mat rial, an(l cni the 19th October, 1 )99, at. the l' que t of ir Herb rt errott, I took charge of the warehou , generou ly 1 nt hy Me ' l' . Barne and Co. (Limited), of attIc Brido'e Lane, Tooley 'treet. It fulfilled all requirement achnirably, being pacious alld airy. I also had the inlmense adyantao'e of bing aUl Lo con 'ult Mr. ,V. G. Barne , Junr., the ll1ana cr ing director, nt all timo.'. He had previou ly had experience in the 'ouelan, an 1 had be n associated with the working operntion of Lhe Briti. h R d ro .'S Society since 1880, consequently he was able to assist me in every case of difficulty. The aInbulance staff of the warehouse consi ted of myself, Sergeant-l\1ajor Robinson, of the 10rp of 10lillli sionaires, late of the Royal Engineers, Mr. Hitch (foreman to Me rs. Barnes and Co.), and a few of the finn's workmen. ergeant-Major Robinson andl\Ir. Hitch worked Rdrnirably and with z al. At £.Tst we were embarrassed by the great influx of articles, so numerous indeed, that we had considerable difficulty in coping with the work. Very many kind people of the poor l' classes sent their little gift, often with pathetic letters. hadually these small gifts arrived in fewer quantities, and later, we 1

daily, and who wrote from mornin o' till night for many day, and aloof .Mr. Ed ward , who often found tim to a i tIne. Not only had ,ve to an weI' enquirie fr 0111 upport r of our own ociation, but from all part of the nited 1 ingdom and frOln the Continent, came letter a king u to advi e the wriLers how to end comfort and clothin a to thi ho pital or that, or to yanon orp in the field; how to buy goods fro111 manufacturer , the be t material, etc., tc. Indoed, thi aave us a great deal of extra, work, and it wa diffi ult Lo convince people that we were unable to forward any articl to cOlllbn,tant troops in the field, or to ho. pitals other than Lho 0 under the dir cLi n of our ommi ioner m South frica. I would add that el'" ry letter a king advice ,"as an wor cl by nle, and circular and pattern were nt to everyone a. king for them, and I ventur to think that w may have been of s rvice to lllallY ho pitals and orp at the eat of war other than Lho e connected with the ociety. The averaae capacity of a ca e was 5 cubic feet. The date of the first shipment ,,'a the 27th October, 1 99, on s . O(wi",b?'ook Oa tle. From the 27th October, 1 99, to the nd of January, 1900, the good were consiO'n~d to olonel J. .

Fir t aill has been rendered on numcrous occasions during the yaar hy ccrtificlte(l 1'er.'on (not including members of the Accrington Oorp , whose cases are reconlecl :srparately), amongst others being the following :-Flesh wound bal'k of righL hand ancl fractured fore-arm . Oertified by Dr. Gn,illeton, "Exceedingly well dressecl. The fracture was also very well treated ." Fmctnred collar bone; fractured femUl' ; di'locatious ; wouncls ; scalds, etc. It is to be noted that a COll irlcrahle number of case' where firt aid has been rendered are not reporte(l by persons who hold certifil'ate. Thi ' i probablyaccountecl for by the per OilS named not being gencrally in touch with the actual routine work of the Ol'ntre. The past year has been a record one as regards finance, the support of the public to the appeals heing vcry generous, enabling the Committee to make grants to the Oorps, to cope with the aLlditional expense of provic1ing volunteers for ho pital d uty in onth Africa. The transport of injmell and ick persons is provided for by the police of the District in conjunction with the members of the Ambulance Oorps.

Mr. ANNUAL HEPORT. THE Oommittee of the Local Oentre have plea nre in pre. enting the twentieth annual report and tatement of a,ccounts. The deficit on the year amount. to £9 13s. 2d., are ult which the Oommittee eonsicler highly satisfactory, inasmuch a. the snm of £37 17s. lld. has been expenLled on BriC/ade work. Included ill tl1', t' £ .. 0 IS a~ou~ 1S 29 IS . lld., the expense incurred in connection with the equipping of Brrmmg.ham ambulance men for the outh Africa.n , Val', fun pal'tirnlaJ's of which appear m the Acting Secretary's Report of the Birmingham Oity Diyisiol1

of the St. John Amhuln,nce 13rigarlc. The numlJer' of classes-viz., 21-is one in exces of thc nUlllber held in the previons season. Your Oommittee arc pleased to record that Lhe intercst in the work of the Oentre is satisfactorily maintained. It is to be regrettcd that none of those holding the St. John Ambulance certificate for first aid have proceeded to take the nm'iug course, men holuing the nursing certificate having obtaine(l hrtter positions ill the ambulanee department of the Army in South Africa. It is hoped that in the coming scason the usefulness and interrst of this course will he recogniseu and taken ad v(1,ntage of. The income from voluntary subscription ,' again shows a slight decrease as cOlH}Jared with last year. The OOlllmittee gmLefnlly acknowledge the receipt of a donation of £5 from the Hospital Saturday Fund. The thanks of thc Centre are most gratefully and cor(lia11y due to the medicalleeturen;, whose untirillg and gratuitous crforts from year to year make the Association thc success it is. Thc need for mr,1l at the front prorluccrl thc most cordial and enthn iastic respon e frOID all sections of am lmlanee workers in Birmillgham, and it is most gratifyillg to note that past llifference' on matter:> of organization were' sunk in thc common cndcavour, ~o fa.r, so \\ ell discharged, to 11a\-c the city IJrOperly repre 'cnted in the work of the amlmlance (lepartmel1t of the Army in South Africa. To tho e who have risked so Illllch for their fellow-men ill their patriotic endeavours to relieve suffering, it is felt that 110 mere thanks, however cordial, call ill any way mark the sense of gratitude aml pride tlleir action has in ·pired. From Her :Jlajesty the Queen down to the humhle .. t citizen of tlli great Empire, has come grateful recognition of the labolU's of tlw 't, John Ambulance Brigade, of which our men formed a considerable contingeut. The work of preparing the men for departure wa' undertaken by a bocly of workers, sl'lected for their ability to discharge the duties ,,'hich involved considel'al,le lallonr :mel time, \lith llluch enthusiasm and patience. The formation of the Birmingham Oity Diyisioll of the 'to JOhll.\llllJl1Iance Brigade, for the pnrposes ahoye mentioned, marks the first steps in an a1l1icalJle arrangement of difference existing at the time of last year's report, all(l it i confidently hoped that before long the e will be all rCIllo\'cc1, and that the whole amlJUlance force of the Oity will become unite,l under onll organization, with the motto, "Pro utilitale hr)1nitlwn."

report for the ession 1 99-90. show· that the intere t taken in the work ten(ls to an increase; a larger receipt from cIa s fee and two good railway cIa es afford in tances of this tendency. That 13 pupil!:. received instruction through the ,,'inter is, of COul' e, satisfactory, but that the per centage of those examined and pa 'ed is much higher is gratifying to teachers and Oommittee. Financially the po ition is about the same as last year. A change ill examiners through illne s hu increased considerably the cost of examinations. Thanks are again due to 1\11 E. Rowe Lewis, for a contribution of £2 from Hollington. an(l to the Watch Oommittee for a donation of £228. per ~Ir. F. O. Baker, Ohief Constable. An effort i' again to lIe made this win tel' in the direction of e tablishing a Division of the t, John Amb ulan ce Brigade, as it seems a pity that Hastings hould be behind A 'hford, Ohiehe tel', and Tunbridge ,YeUs, in not having at command such a useful contingent. The almost paternal solicitude of our Ohairman of Committee, the Deputy Mayor, Major-General berer, the kindnes. of the ladie of the Oommittee, the care of the Auditor, :Mr. W. P. Harvey, in auditing the accounts, again place the Centre nnder a deeper indebtedness.

THE opening of our work this year among lllen gave indication of considerable growth. However, several classes withdrew from the Centre before the time for examll1atioll, and are left with a strength just erlual to last year ill consequeuce.

AN :r AL REPORT. THE COlUmittee ]uwe much pleasure in stating that ;;ince the last Report issued in 1896, the work of the A;;.'oein,tion has been carriec] 011 in a very aetiye manller as i evidenced by the fact that during this perioel the number of certil1cates gained amonnts to 311. The lJc·t thanks of the Assoeiation are clue to Dr . C. Pye Oliver, R H. '.V. Johnston, R. T. Cae ar, J11]]., and V. X. Harcourt, for the care and attention they have devoled to the clas.·es. Among other cla 'es he1<1 a cour'e of instruction was given on unday aftel'1loons to rail\\ ay employes of the, '.E. and O. Ry. and ;'4 eerLiIicate' wore gmnted, many of them being gained by railway ofl-icials at village stations, a circumstallce whieh the Committee are glad to note, seeing that at these places-more or Ie. ' isolated-skilled a si tance i. often not available for some few homs. The Police of the Borough have recently undergone another comse of instruction, and ttrrangements arc in hand for instructing the Police of the county. The Centre ha' sustttined a sevcre loss in the suddeu death, at a comparatively early age, of it· inderatigable an,1 able ecretary, 1\1r.'laude IIamilton '.Vhite, who was appointed in 1 3 aud has sillce that time devoted a large amount of time to the intercsts of the, 'ociety. The Oommittee desire to place on record its appreciation of the valuable hplp he has rendercd them and of the heavy loss they have sustained. Mr. E. Arthur ball1bel', having kindly consented to act as Secretary, was 011 the nomination of the President, lajor Cornwalli, unanimously elected Joint·Hon. Secretary with Dr. C. Pye Oliver.

YOUP. Committee have the pleasure to report that the pa t year bas been one of unprecedented activity in alllbulance work. Twenty-three cIa ses ba\'e been formed, and 4 5 certificates and 41 medallions have been i ·ueel. The thanks of the Ceutre are due to the lecturers-Drs. A. Thom 011, H. Greaves, \Yadtliugtoll, Fort, Hearne, Law, Lendrum, Boyd, \Yilkinson, and G. Thomson, all of whom have rendered gratuitous services. The demand for ambulance men to proceed to outh Africa has been largely rc::;ponsible for the increase in classes, and your ommittee are proud to put it on record that Oldham ha responded to the call for ambulance men wi(;h enthusiasm, having dispatched. the large number of 116 oflicers and men to the front. Your Committee desire to acknowledge with gratitude the great kindness of the Mayor of Oldham (111:1'. Alderman Hood ), who has done everything in his power to encourage ambulance work by per. onal1y attending and addressing the ambulance volunteers on theil' departure. The enthusiastic celles at these send-ofrs, when enormous crowds, cstimated at 30,000 on some occasions, turned out time after time to wi h the men God-spced, can never l)e forgotten 1JY anyone who witnessed them . On August 11th the review of the ollth-Ea t Lancashire County Corps took place in Oldham for the first time, and was witne 'sed by a very large assemblage, including the Mayor. Your Committee desire to thank the Misses Lees, of Weyneth Park, who generously gave a handsome Silver Challenge Cup for Police Competitions, which was appropriately wou by the Old.ham police. The whole of the first prizes were carried off by the Oldham Corps and NUl' ing Division, and were Yom Committee desire to presented to them by Mrs. Lees, of Weyneth Park . acknowledge with gl'atitude the free use of the Oldham Football Ground, gl'anted for this purpose by the Committee of the Club. First aiel has heen efficiently rendered on very many occasions by ambulance men and women, and the horse am1)ulance caniages, of which there are now four in the district, have 1Jeen very freely taken advantage of by the public. Your Committee are glad to announce that the 8uallgemcnts already in progress for next sesflion evidence no falling-off in ambulance work.

THE Committee again have pleasclre in reporting a uccessful year's "'o1'k, and tlley take this opportunity of extending their most grateful thanks to all tho e "ho have so kindly sent donations both in money and kinn, 01' have granted the free u e of rooms and places of meeting. The Horse Van has been of great use, having been out on ten OCC9. ions, and the Wheel Litter 11a al. 0 been of great service, haying been in use on eleven occasions. The Committee are al 0 gratified to announce that after careful consideration it was decided to have the interior of the van altered ane1 one side made into the form of a couch. This will enable patients utTering from heart rlisease, severe shock, and other complicated complaint. to ride in a more comfortable position, instead of lying down or sitting straight up a before, and will no doubt be very useful in such ca es. Two new Furley ~ tretchers of tIle latest pattern have heen purchased, and the Committee have in hand the que tion of l)ul'cha ing OUl e ambulance boxes and placing them in prominent po. ition in the to\yn. ,ixty-follr cases of first aid have been rend ered hy Member of this Centre during the pa t year.

One member, Private DaviJ Applegate, of N'ewhey, unfortuuately contracted entp-ric fever at Bloemfontein, and died on 21st Junc last.

REPORT.

THE past year ha been notable for the great amount of intere. t taken in the outh African ,Val'. When ambulance men were asked to volunteer for active ervice in the campaign there was a ready response, and ix addleworth men were accepted. The e were Mr. G. Lee , :Mr. W. :Mellor, Mr. L. Brierley, Ml'. E. Wood, :Mr. II. Wood, and Mr. H. Hill. The fir t five a re still at the front. All were giyen a very hearty send-off, under the auspices of the Saddleworth Oentre, and carried with thl::m many tokens of goodwill from the friends they left behind. It is also pleasing to know that Dr. Harry Ramsden is at the front in the capacity of urgeou-Oaptain. On 16th June a u other successful Oycle parade was held, and the sum realized, £41 16s. 4~d., was eq ually divided between the adJleworth Oenh'e and the Indian F amin e Funrl. On 17th eptember an inlere ting event in the hape of a demonstration by the Oldham Am bulauce Oorps took place at U ppermill. uperintendellt Jon es was in command, and the display of practical am bnlance ,york wa watched by a large crowd of spectators. The Committee have to record with deep regret the death of Dr. ,Yo H. F. Ramsden, who gave such material assi tance when the Oentre was formed in 1894. The Committee gratefully acknowledge the services of the members of the medical staff, without whose assistance the valuable work; of the As ociation could not be carried on.

Thirty classes have been held under the Centre (2 fir t aid, and 2 nursing), and in addition to the e the members of 33 cla es (23 fir t aid, and 10 nursing) held in connection with the chool Boa,rd Evening Oontinuation chools have had the benefit of examination by the official examiner of the As ociation . The total membership of these cla ses wa 35, a again t 726 in the previous year. At the examinations held on behalf of th e Oentral Executive, 577 tudents po. sed the first examination, 174 the first re-examination, and 65 the second or final re-examination. Th ese figures acl<led to those of previous years make a total of 10,067 passes

:Wl

since the formation of the Centre. Successful classes have been held during the year at several of the large works in the di trict, aloin connection with the [icllanu and Great Central Railways. The Committee would again urge upon all employers of labour the desirability of encouraging the formation of first aid cIa es among t their men. I nstruction in first aid is now being given to additional members of the police force, also to a large number of men employed in cOllnection with the orporation Tramways. The Committee feel that in these ca es a knowledge of first aid is of the greatest importance. The Committee learn with much satisfaction that the City Council has recently purchaseLl an improved horse ambulance carriage to supplement the conveyances provided by the Centre some years ago. This matter ha bern referre(l to in the Annual Rel)ort of the Centre for 0111e years ]last, the Committee being :trongly of opinion that further ambulance carriages were nace sary to place the police in a position to deal effectively with such ca es of emergency as are continually aIi iug in a large ci ty . Reference ,,-as made at the last annual meeting of the Centre to the dcsirahility of forming a Corps or Division of the t. John Amhulance Brigade in hefliehl, and the Committee felt that such an organisation would bc of very great benefit in providillg opportunities for co-operation and regular practices amongst ambl11ance students. The matter was enthusiastically taken up by a Committec formed for the purpose, and a very successful Corp formed. In re 'ponse to a call from thc 'War 0 ffice for ambulance men to go out to 'outh Africa, no Ie, s than 41 mcmbcrs of the Sheffieltl Corps volunteered, and their services ha,e prove<1 of great value at the front. Th e Committee of the Centre heartily congratulate the promotcrs of the Corps UpOI1 the great succes,;; which has attended thE-ir efforts, and have had much pleasure in gi Villg a donation of £10 out of the fnnds at their eli po 'al to\Yanls the cCluipment of the Corps. The Committee desire to express their best thanks to the h ll. secretary (Dr. Martin), the lecturers, the class secretarics, anel all those ,yho havc hy their kind assistance hclped forward the work of the Centre.

Ix presenting the Anuual Report the Committee arc again plea eu to rl'corcl that a large amoun t of good work has beeu accompli 'hed dming the pa t year. The wurk of the Centre has progressed mo t favonrallly, illcrca 'ing interest ha ],c~lllllallife!"te(l, and the outlook for llext , e sion is velY encouraging. As mentioned in laRt year's lieport, the Committee havc erecte(l, allil :;nppliecl "'ith " First Aid" Applian ces (including 'treteher), three Street Alllbula,llee 'ascs, aCCl'.ti to which may be had day 01' night. Each member of the Police Force ill the town has been provided with a key. I n consideration of the generosity of Mrs. F. E. and II'. G. E. Rawson, or Thorpe, in giving a donation of olle pound each to our funcls, it was deeiued to supply a. box of "First Aid" Appliances for llse in Triangle anll district, to be kept at the house of P.C. Tattersall, Oak Hill. The Committee have clecided to spend the sum of £10 on Nursing Appliau('c' to lend out free of charge in the Jistrict. The Committee were appealed to by th e Red Cross Cowmittee, throngh the llCallquart.ers of the St. John Ambulance Association, for appliances io be usecl in nursill~ the wounded soldiers in the present South African war. ArrallgeJllcnts were being made to send some of the articles asked for, when " 'ol'd can,e that til' appeal hall been . 0 generonsly responded to that no more were needed, lmt tlmt fUlllls wer0 required to send out to the frollt the articles l1lade for the soldicrs. It was then decidell by the Committee to send a contrilmtiGll of three guineas ['or the purpose named.

submitting it report for 1 9-1900, your Council desires hriefly LO review the position of thi branch of the 't, John Amlmlaul:e Association. 'Whcn first forml' (l in thi Colon), in 1 9~, the greatest interest was evinced Ly the pulllil'. lllallY male and female clas es were held, and HUIll bel's of pupils gained certit-icates in both Perth and Freemantle. The movement was Yery popular indced fol' a year or tIYO, th cu olYing doubtless to the rush of prosperity and to .uu:e(l Llellt depression throughou t the Colony, public intere t waued or was diverted into other chanllels. The theu hOll. secrf't:1.ry resigned, the management hecame lax, and the work of the Association stood still till 1897, when a Slight revival occurred. From that time to ~L<ly, L9!l , five meetings of your Council were heM; ancl two lir t aiu cla 'ses insLrn<.:tell. In.J Lty, 1 99, however. yom' Coullcil filled vacancic' which had occulTed t.hereill. al'pllllltell a new hon. ecretary. and resol vod to m<tk(' a vigoron l'fl'ort to get the A 'sociatiun into working order once more. A large quantity of valuable stores had gone astray of IVhich no tmcc coulll ue got, and wi tIt some accounts unpaid, and \\'ith very little cash in hand the utmost e(:ol1o111Y was necessary. 11. Committee of influential ladies W.1S furmed; from l1ay 1 '99, to September 1 n99, your Council held 9 meetings, 3 bllies and ~ men\, cla 'se " including a la lies auvanced nUi'sing claRs were carried through succesfllUly il1 Perth, some of the lJL1Vilfl gaining exceptiollally Iligh marks. At One, a suu-ce ntre lJas l,een formed, 1111'. Anhur E. '.Vood, H on. ,'ecretll.ry, and two clll.sscs in 'truct.eLI, uut not yet examined .

AXNTAL REPORT. Ix presenting the first Annual Heport of ihe 1 cw Plymouth entre the Executive are plea 'eel to . latc that good ucce~s ha 11 ttelHled tIle year's c!['ort. At thc Anllual Meeting, hcld 011 1I1ar(;h 30111, the 'cel'etary was a1l1e to report 121 succes ful calldillates for certi!icatcs and l1lctblliollS, ~ of II'hom were of thc "ew Plymouth classes and Frankly Road ,'u 1l-secLioll. a lll i :39 from thc clas e of thc iulallll town, Illglewoocl, tratfOt'lI, anLl ElLham. OJI J all unry 21th ll i Excellency the Governor ancl Lady Ranfllrly llOllOlll'ed New Plymouth with a pcciaJ visit for the pnrpo e of

242 presenting the certificate. and medallions in the Theatre Royal. In IIis Excellency's address he was pleased to say he hadneyer known a more uccessful first year's work in any centre. As part of the programme, after Lady Ranfnrly hacl graciously pre ented the certificates, the town m embers gave a stage pre entation of a street accident, and the Frankly ltoael member, a bu hm en, of a bu h accident from a fallen tree, which was most effective and in trllctive. Several cases of first aid rendereel by members are recoreled-notahly , one of a man who \Va seriously injured by a ga explo ion when a i ting in laying a street main. Fonr or five of our members, working neal', ba.d renderecl prompt and efficient first aid before the arrival of the doctor: who complimented them on their ·kill. Th e knowledge gained by m ember. ha al 0 been of incalculable yalne in the country districts, wh ere accidellt are 0 very frequent. The Commi ttee are al 'o plea ed to tate that owing to the enthu iasm of the tratford Local, ecre tary two cIa es have been organized at Toko, six miles from tratforc1, from wh ere a m eelical lectUl'cr attends to instruct some 26 t udent. N o examination. for thi year ha,'e yet heen held, and general re uIt are not expected to be 0 good a la t year, llwing partly to the far-reaching efi'ects of the, outIl African 'YiLr, ,Yhich ha 0 c1istractecl puhlic attention. The lecturers this year have been Dr . Hutchinson , :1l'Clelancl , H ome, and ,Valker for New Plymouth , anel Drs. Paget, Carbery, allnder, and Harri son for inlaml town. . Th e finance of tbe Ccntre are in a ati. factory tate. The Committee are gratified at the election as life member of Dr. Hutchil1ol1 , \\h o is still taking a very active intel'e t in the moveme nt, and ba s ju.:t conc1Ulled another COluse of lectures to a third veal' c1a .

In "Feln'uary, 1900, owing to the extraordinary state of the atmo ph ere, there were an alarming number of cases of sun-stroke, and the re ources of the "Asistencia Publica" (the Government amhulance department) in' Buenos Aires were taxed to the uttermo t limit. The ~ervices of several certificated members of the 't, J obn Ambulance A. ociatioll and Argentine First Aid ociety ,yere gladly accepted, and one yonng gentleman who hold the certificate of hoth soci ties was even given charge of a ward after his fir t dlty' experience, and gave great sa tisfactioll.

HEAD QUARTERS, T. J Oll 's GATE,

19th March, 1901. My LORD, I have the honour to submit my report on the Brigade for the year ending 30th September, 1900. As this report will not be published until very late in the current year, it has appeared advisable to bring it up to date in respect of matters of present interest. The most important event of the year has been the partial mobilization of the Brigade for active service in 'outh Africa. As the mode in which this was carried out has been fully described in my special report of the 2Qth 1ay bst, it is not necessary for me to do more than mention what assistance has been given to the Government since that date. Prior to the publication of that report, the Brigade had supplied in all 1313 men; since then 14 further contingents have been furnished, bringing the total number of men up to ] I regret to have to report that, up to the present date, the total number of deaths among the Brigade men employed in outh Africa has been 56. It is gratifying to be able to state that evr.ry call for assisLance that has been made by the \Yar Office has been fully and promptly met, and that most sati factory reports have been received from time to time a.s to the usefulness and exemplary conduct of the men on serVIce. In compliance with a request of the Military Authorities, steps are being taken to provide, for home defence only, five Bearer Companies of 5 men each, who, in case of mobilization of the Field Army for Home Defence, would enlist in the Royal rmy Iedical Oorps and be in all respects on the same footing as the men of the Bearer ompanies of that Corp, but each company would be officially distinguished as ,. No. earer Company ( t. J obu mbulanc~ Brigade)." The Colonial Office also has I cently applied for 50 men of the Brigade to be enlisted for 3 years in the onth African Constabulary. Although the work of supplying hospital orderlies for active service has been sufficient, and more than enough, to tax the energies of the officers of all ranks, the ordinary routine duties of the Brigade throu~h out the country have been performed with unabated zeal and wIth greatly increased fficiency, as testifi d in the personal reports of the Deputy Commissioners in charge of Districts. . Owing to the necessity of my constant presence at head quarters, It wa impossible for me to hold as many inspections of Corps ~n.d Divisions in th e provinces as I had intended, but I was able to VISIt several units in different parts of the country and was in each case thoroughly satisfied with t he state of efficiency to which t hey have attained.

256 , The usual ambulance station was furnished at the Royal Agricultural Society's show at York, from June 15th to June 24th, the staff being sent down from head quarters and the rest of the personnel (4 men and 2 nursing sisters daily) supplied by the Hull Corps. In compliance with the wish of the York Centre of the St. John Ambulance Association, three local ladies who hold first aid certificates were inviteu to assist the nursing sisters of the Brigade. The following local medical gentlemen very kindly undertook to at Lend the station daily in turn, and their services were most gratefully appreciated by the staff and members of the Brigade on duty:-Drs. Evelyn, Foster, Hood, Long, and Metcalfe. During the show, 77 cases of a more or less severe nature were attended to. In consequence of the pressure of work in connection with mobilization) it was found impracticable to hold a Brigade Conference during the past year, and for a similar reason the competitions for the Dewar Shield and Symons Eccles Cup were postponed. The recorded strength of the Brigade on the 30th September, 1000, was approximately 8738 Medical and Ambulance Officers and men, and ] 526 Nursing Officers and sisters, an increase of about 1940, as compared with the total at the same date in 1899. As many new Divisions have been formed since the close of the past official year, it may be assumed that at the present time the Brigade numbers several hundreds more than is shown in the District returns. During the past year the following promotions were sanctioned by H.R.H. the Grallu Prior :Captain C. H. Milburn, M.B., from Acting Deputy Commissioner, to be Deputy Commissioner, o. 6 District. W. Vernon, Esq., M.R.C.S., from Acting Deputy Commissioner, to be Deputy Commissioner, No. 2 District. As, in my special report on the mobilization of the Brigade, I bave endeavoured to bring to notice the most prominent services rendered by members of the Brigade of all ranks in the interests of the country, of the Order, and of the Brigade, in conneetion with the war in onth Africa, I will content myself with taking this opportunity of thanking the Superior Officers for their continued and increased devotion to their important routine duties, and for the assistance which they have always so readily given me in carrying out my own j and I would also assure the Order that at 110 time in the history of the Brigade have the Medical, Ambulance and Nursing Officers, and the members of all ranks as a whole, been so zealous as at present in the performance of their self-imposed duties, or so ready to fulfil the requirements of their voluntarily. accepted discipline. I enclose the reports of the Deputy Commissioners on their respective Districts. I have the bonollr to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's obedient servant,

These Officers were either (laily or nightly occupied in giving instruction to the members of the various contingents between the arrival in Londou of the men and their departure for South Africa, and in holding examinations at the close of each cour e.

Notwithstanding the heavy pressure of ,,"ork con elluent upon the mobilization of the Brigade, the work of the Di trict ha been cal'l'ieu out a heretofore in all respects.

Duty wa performed daily during the holding of the Woman' Exhibition at Earl's Court, at t. Paul's Amlmlance tation each unrlay, and at the DUllean l\lemoritll Ambulance: 'tatioll .nightly. On ~5th June ( t. John' Day) a di play of amlmlance work was gIven before the members of tIle Order of t. John of J ern alern at the Charterhouse. ::'The competition for the Massey-Mainwaring Cup wa held at the Charterhon e OI~ 21st July, the team repre enting the King's Cms (G.N.R.) Division being the WInners. Three new Divisions have been formed:-Belgravia ur ing, Boro' of ,Vest IIam, ~wcl Causton's; but, on t~1e other hand, the following Divisions, owing to lack of mterest and c:ollsequent faIlure to carry out the regulations of the Bricrade and the tanding Orders of the Di trict, have been disbanded. vir.. : -:M idland R~ilway No. :2 and Oxford House. The Crystal PaJace District Ga Co. Divisioll, which was in abeyance for twelve month, has not Leen re-formed, and should therefore now be removed from the strength of the District. Thirty-eight D~vi ions have .u~en inspected, viz. :-twenty-eight by myself and ten by my ASSIstant Commlssloner, 1\[1'. F. D. Mackenzie ' and I take this opportunity of tllanking him for the able assistance which he'ha8 ·n.t all times b en ready to give me. Six Divisions were not inspected, owing to the du,tes fhed having to be postponed from various causes. Owing to the absence in South A~rica of the District Chief Surgeon, he was un fortuuately unable to take any part III the annual re-examination of the members of the Metropolitan qorp~; the following HOIl .• 'urge~ns, however, who kindly c~nductecl the re-exammatIODs, Drs. J esop, IYnyne, coam, :Main, Todd White, and GOl'don- Brown report most. favourably upon the efficiellcy of the Corps. The total nlllllller exal11111ed was: of Ambulallce Ofncers 29 nrsincr Officers 13 rank and file, 6).0,..aud nursing sisters 9J, making a gra~d totalOof 746. I~ the ambulance DIVISIOns 624 passed, and in the l1ursincr Divisions 106' in the former ~5, a~d in the latter only one failed t~ come up to the rerluisite stancl9.rc1. rr;he Supermtenclent of Stores, Mr. S. B. PIer, reports that all ambulance stores whlCh are the property of the D istrict, arc in good. order. The dutics of this department have been carried out by Superintendent Piers and the storemen in a most satisfactory manner. Sllperintende~lt Pontin, Cyclists' Division, assisted by First Class upernllmerary Dfficer S. H. Vllvel1, Second '2la.f-;s 'upernumerary OfIicer H. IIallatt, and Private

L. F. Hnymall, of tbe same Divisioll, have rendered great assi tame to the secretarial department of the District, voluntarily underLaking a consideraule portion of the dntie , which they havc carried ont n:08t satisfactorily. '1'he thanks of the Di5tl'ict are due Lo the Ma. tel' of the Chal'terhonse for so kindly granting the use of the grounds of the harterhouse for drill and competitions, a privilege which I trust may be extended to the District during the current year. In conclusion, I desire to cxprc::. my gleat appreciation of the willing and efficient manuel' in which the members of all ranks have carried out their respective dutie . I have the ],onom to be, ' iI', Yom obeclient Servant, BF.LGR.\."E

The effective. trellgth of the Divi 'iOll shows a dccreAse of nine, accounted for by the carrying out of the rule by which all members not attending elI'ills are rigourously excludell.

The reputation of the Division has been maintained, the following dutie havincl been ptlrformeJ during the year, vi:>:., ,Voman's Exhibition, Earl's COl1l't, t . Pau]'~ and Duncan Memorial Ambulance tatiou Fire BrigaJe R eview, Ramp tead Heath, l\Iildmay Club Carnival, I lington Carnival, . Central Club Children' Outing, l\lildmay ports, tam ford Hill Gronnds, R eceptlOn of the Crew of H. M. . Powerful, Lordl\Iayor' how, and Alexandra Park, all \ypH attended. Over 100 case were treated in the neighbourhood of I slington and Stoke NelYillgton by member not on !lublic duty, th6 litter from 1Hildmay Club being used for hospital cases on lifteen occasion . Eight mem bel's voluuteered for ervice in onth Africa.

al1ll)ulanee station, cOlltaining a litter and the necessary cquipmen1, permitted within the works and six ambulance boxes are distributed at various points, which are very useful. The aunual display was not h rld this year. The Division had the honoUl and privilege of send~ n g scven men to outh Africa (the COI?pany kind~y assisting their families ill thCIr ahsPllce), aud, although some were laid low by swkness, 110 de.1ths fortunately, have becn recorded . SpOI ts are still beld in the Recreation GrouIlcl attached to the works, and mllch u eful work has l,een undertaken on the several occasions by th~ amhulance 111embe1's. The large percentage of men absent from the annual inspection i .. explained by the fact that as the \york of tlIe Company is of a contiuuons naturr a full mllster at one time is impossible. Duty ha~ ·been uIldertaken iu respollsc to the everal calls from Head-quarters.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY CO "?lUll , TOKER. 2, ~iUSEG)!

;

TImET, IPSWICH,

20th (;ctober, 1900.

Ka.llle or Corps or Dlvi,,;ion.

SIR,

I have the honour to ubmit the follolying as my Annual Report for Xo. III. District for the year ending 30th September, 1900. There has been decided 11l'ogress in the strength and eJliciency of the varion, Corps and Divisions in the Central and Eastern District during the past year. The carrying out the general regulations ha nece itated the weetling-out of many nonefficients, but, on the other hand, a larger number aud better cla s of recrnits have been attracted to the ranks of the Brigade. Among t the new Divi ions formed tluring the year ure four for nur ing, yiz. :-Rothwell, Littl e Houghton, and Leighton Buzzartl, whilc new ambulance Divisions have been formell, or are in course of formation, at Xorthampton, Leicester, :Kettering, Ipswich, Birmingham, Ashuy-de-la-Zoucb, Dunstable, Grays, and Willoughby. It is with much satisfaction I have to report the formation of the Birmingham City Diyision. It has already done good senice by 'cntling representative~ in the drafts for senice in outh Africa, and I ltave every reason to believe th<\t during the ensuing year a strong Corps will he formed in connection with the Brigade. 'lith the help of Assistant Commissioner ,Voolston and Chief urgeon.A ndland, t1le annual inspections were carried out in a sati ,factory manner throughout the District. The reports showed a higher standanl of efliciency both a regards first aid work and the transport of sick and injured. The annual in pectiolls of the K orthampton and ,Yellingborough Corps, which ahmys partake more of the character of ceremonial review's, passed oIT in the usual successful manner. These inspections took place early in September, ancl, favomed ,yith fine weather, the field mOYelllents were witnessed by large and influential gatherings. Special interest was giyen to the proceedings by several Supernumerary Officers and men being on parade who had just returned from active service in South Africa. The feature in this year's report has been the molJilization of i11e Brigade for service in 'outh Africa. The patriotic manner in which the memhers of the Brigade came forward at a time of national emergency to supplement the regular Army medical staff has excited the admiration of the military and other authorities. The subject has been so fully and ably dealt with in your report to the Director of the Ambulance Department of the Orrlcr that I need not further refer to it except to thank all ranks in o. III. District for the help ancl support they gave me in times of emergency. Without the assistance and loyal co-operation of the Assistant Commissioner, Chief Superintendents, Honorary Surgeons, antI Secret~ries throughout the District, it ,,"onld have lJeen impossible to have olJtained the vanous contingents and despatched them to IIeac1-(luarters in the limited time allowed. I feel naturally proud that upwards of 200 Oilicers and men should have been tlrawn from the District under my charge to supplement the ranks of the Royal Army

Th e dilliculty of geUillg uniform ill the Corps is greatly owillg to there not being any ub cription list llor any fund. to draw from. Th e men get up concerts now awl again, and so get together a fe\\' pounds yearly. The Divisions are scattered, and cannot be got together at samo time; especially this is the case with the railway men, unly a few at a Lime can be spared froUl their respective duties. Several accidents have been removetl from the railway station on wheeled litter bel. nging to the Railway Co. to the In firmary, ancl Olle case requiring removal wa effected by ])len of the Railway Division with tJle Company's wheeled litter at MOl'hay, neal' Ashbourne, which meant a three-mile march. The men were uuder command of First Officer Barrnall and letter was received from the medical man in attendance, say ing t hat th~ wO:'k was very well dOlle.

I have the honollr to report on the work of this District for the ycar CUlling 30th Septemuer, 1900. On 8th ~Iay I made a joint inspcction of the Lo\\' Fell Divisioll allel the Fellin" N'ursing Division. Unfortunately the evcning tnrl.illg out YCl'ywd, the l'J'Ocel'dillg~ ~n.d to. take }11aee in the Schoolroom, and, cOllseql1e11tly, the UI'COlllllludatilill \\'.1' lllsuffielellt for the inspcction of two Vi,isioll ' at the S,llJIP tillie. E\'ell with thl dray,back, I was \yell plea 'eel with the \\'ol'k Ilonc uy the lil'st-1HllllC!1 Di\'isioll, Th e mel.nbe1's In:e ent {~5 in number (lid tl1eil' first nid ,\,ork slIlartlyaml Ileatly, and thell' lllarehmg auel stretcher drill W<1 ' gontl aml smart cvcn th01l"'h it bad to be carried on in crampcII IJuarters. This result coul!l only 'I c duc tn thc dose allll enthuijia tic attentioll to tlte Division which had evidellily llecn gi"ell lly the lIoll. Smgeon, tllC SUl'criutendent and his Olliecr". I al '0 illsjleetpd thc I.ooh, 1111U. found them carefully and well kept. TCll luellllH.!J's of the Felling ... Tnl'Sillg Lli\'i~ioll ",ere prrsent and. I had reason to belicvc that lllore would havr aLt'llde.l hnll it not ueen for the iuc1elllcIlt weather. Theil' " 'ol'k, flo' rar as I \Ya~ alJle to ]'ud"e, Ullller the . . " ad \'erse cm.mnlstallces, was fairly well dOllr. Tllis lJi\' i~inll has a largc >ilo~k of nursing material, whieh is in frcfluent u . c in its Di~lrictJ and evidently >iiltisfyillg a want. On the following clay I had the pleasUl'c of fiecillg the above Divisinns take street duty, 011 what I belien ifi the lirst time in I\l!\n;astle. Thc occasion wa" thc vI~it of T.R.H. ~he Duke and Duchess of COllllangltt, to Ol'ell a lIe\\' public lmilJing. nIr.

i\. :Memol'ial Service for Sir Douglas Galton was held at his p:l.rish church, St. Peter's, Eaton Square, on Thursday, the 16th of :U arch. It was conelllcted by the Vicar, anel an aeldress was m:.ule by the Dean of Gloucester. The Burial Service was nsed, except tho,:,e parts which are said when bodies are lo\\cred into the ground. The service was rendered. beauti .. fully by the Ohoir; the 90th Psalm being most impressive. Aftcr the Lesson, the hymn" L ead, ICindly Light," was sUllg; most appropriately for one who was aboye all things a eeker aftcr God. The Dean developed this thought in his 'Ad ... dress, showing how Sir Dougla ,in all his work, had two cmls before him; to widell our notions of God through scientific kuO\ylcdge and discovery; 0 to apply cience as to make human live healthier and happier. The result of such a life has been to increase our higher knowledge, and to diminish humall suffering. :B ew mcn had 0 many different lines 01 sphcres of work as ir Douglas Galton. till fewer haye been t.lckllowledged as authorities in so many and yarion directions, Ilis work was recognised by tho e who e acknowledgment is best worth having' by specialists, who can judge; by those who beneHted practically through it. These formcd a large congregcltion of mourner. The numel'OU Societies, in which Sir Douglas had been a leading member, were repr~sented; and there were present many humble fri ntl3 and fello\ workers. To the e must be added troops of friends, made during an official life of ncarly half a century, und attracted by a ingular charm of manner.

ADDRESS. By

THE VERY REV.

DONALD SPENCE, DEAN

OF GLOUCESTER.

I remember reading once how a great Preacher apologised for speaking Sunday after Sunday of death and eternity, for making it the perpetual burden of his discourse. " He could not help its monotony." He said he would "cease the strain when men were holy enough to hail the death that opens the pathway to eternity, but not till then. Still, monotonous though the theme be, when a well-known, well-loved name has vanished from the earth, when that which once liveLl and breathed, the impersonation of restless energy and noble striving has been borne away to be entombed in the sepulchre of history, the heart of the mo t careless is arrested, t.he mi ion of death seems to come direct from Heaven, and that decease, which is only the fulfilment of Nature's convenient law, startles us as something strange, it seems to be the immecliate interference of God I" Weare met to-clay (Brothers) to pay a last tribute of love and respect to one who for many, many year has been a prominent figure in the public life of our England. 'Ve can scarcely believe he has been taken from us. nut yesterday his bright, sunny presence was with us-inspiring his fellow-men to noble and generous work for their neighbours; yet \VC surely dare not grieve overmuch that our Brother bas pa sed into the open vision of God, for a long life of strength an(l generally successful effort lay behind him when the summon. came. In reviewing the last fifty years, perhaps the brightest page of our" i land story" are filled with the record of the successful efforts of earnest men to make life for their fel1o\y-men brighter, more healthy, less marred with disease and sickness. It is a quiet work it is true, and makes less noise in the world than the deeds of the successful soldier or sailor,--than the book of the romancist, or the poem of the song man. It is a quiet work less known and honoured than the acts of the

successful politician and statesman. But th?u?h such a work be less acknowledged, less loudly applauded, It IS perhaps more blessed, certainly more enduring; and one of the chief places 'n this little band of God's true heroes who have helped unnum~ered men and women to lead brighter, healthier lives was filled by Douglas Galton,. w.hose loss we sorrow for wit~ an unfeigned sorrow to-day. Tlus IS, and can be, no panegync of our dead friend; no one would venture upon this in these sacred walls; hut it is a glad thought for u who mourn him to call to mind his ceaseless, generous, self-forgetting work, remembering how the soldier has good cause to bless his memory; how the pOOl' in our great cities lead lives happier, healthier, thanks to his unwearied toil and forethought. No one perhaps in this ad company gathered here to-day, has better cause than he who now with stammering tongue and tear-filled voice addre e yon, to speak in reverent, loving terms of that great. soul now wi th his :Ma tel', whom he served so long, so faithfully, so unweariedly.

It is nearly forty years ago when on the threshold of life I was thrown with him and enjoyed the rare fortune of a great teacher's inspiring example. He taught me much, the beauty of a work-filled life, a life lived to h Ip others, to do good to others, 'laborarc est orare' \Va the motto he pre sed home to me by his example, nor was it alone in earnest, restless work he taught me the best way to make life beautiful and happy. The enemies of Religion, of purity and of all things lovely and of good report, are too ready to cast a stone at what they hate and dread, by recklessly assvrting that the friends of Holy Religion and of God arc rarely to be found among les ames d'elite among u. The contrary i the ea e. The noblest and most loyal servants of God and His Uhri t are found among our Statesmen, our great Lawyers, in the ranks of our bravest, our most distillgui hed sailor, soldiers, among our leading men of scienee-our dear friend who has just fallen asleep was a conspicuous instance here. There were two sides to that white soul. In public he was ever the restless, tirele ~

.6 ooeker after the sCCl'ds of that science, which daily finds out new methods of making life brighter and more tolerable to the d'wellers in great Cities. In pri\rate, he was the holy and humble man of God, who knows too well our littleness and weakness, who seeks and finds the source of strength and confidence in the everlasting arms outstretched beneath him. True friend-chivalrous helper of the "Neak and suffering, of all who needed help-unwearied, restless seeker after the higher knowledge which benefits others, true toiler for God-we must not mourn him as those who have no hope, for our friend is with his 1\1apter, with our God and His Christ for ever.

The Grand Prior may at any time specially convene the Ohapter-General, and will specially convene it on the requisition of seven of its Members, or in pursuance of a Resolution of the Oouncil containing a requisition to that effect, such requisition in either case to contain a statement of the propositions or particular matter to be submitted to the Ohapter-General. The notice specially convening the special Chapter-General must set forth the propositions or particular matter to be submitted to the Chapter-General, and may, with the approval of the Grand Prior, be a seven days' notice only. At special Ohapters no business shall be transacted, other than such as is specified in the notice. The Ohapter-General is always opened and closed with prayer, and is to be held according to ancien t usage, provided, nevertheless, that no Form of Prayer shall be used which is inconsistent with the forms of worship of the Ohurches of England and Scotland as by law established. The Ohapter-General has to examine and to settle the lists of members who are aspiring to becon1e Knights of Justice, and to examine and pass the accounts of the Treasury of the Order. The Ohapter-General forms the Oourt of Honour, and has power to make Bye-laws from time to time for the regulation of its proceedings. No resolution passed by the Ohapter-General or Act thereof, save as heretofore mentioned, is valid without the assent, either personally or in writing, of the Grand Prior. During the intervals of regular meetings the Ohapter-General delegates its powers (excepting the election, removal, and promotion of members and the final decision of awards of medals) to the Council; but the acts of the Oouncil, on the more important questions, are not valid unless confirmed by the

17 Chapter-General, to which it is directly responsible for all its proceedings; it being ~evertheless un~erst~od that the Oouncil is to deal with all ordmary matters of busIness, and that only the more important questions are to be referred to the Ohapter. The reports of the proceedings of the Council are however to be briefly made to the Ohapter at its Ineetings for confirmation; the object being that, while the governing power is reserved to the Chapter, to avoid delay and simplify work, the Oouncil, which meets more frequently is, except in special cases, to act promptly. No Member can vote in the Councilor Ohapter-General who is in arrear with his annual oblations, or who is in receipt of a salary for work done for the Order or its Departments.

1. I IIA VE to tell \\'hat on' Ordn of Knighthood, more anci nt than the Orders of the Garter or the Gold n Fleece, has done-firstly, to protect Christendom from the :\Tahomcelans; and s( conell}" to prOlnote philan· thropy in the widest sense of tht..: word, When in the first half of the , eventh century l\Iahomedanism began its career of conque:t, Christianity had spread from its tarting-point in Jel'llsalrm, not only through Europe, but over A, ia :\Iinor, yria, Egypt, North .\frica, and Ab) ssillia, anel into J\rabia, It had established itself in Cl'ntral Asia, if not in 'hina, l\Ierv in thc fifth century wa the scat of a Ncstorian and in thc fourtl'L'nth century of a Greck archbishopric. In the n;nrteenth century thl Ruo.;sian rc-' tablished therc thc faith which Arabs and Tartars had <;\\'('pt ,l'\';)y, ,amarb.nd also, I believe, was at one +imc tlw ,eat of a Chri:,;ti,lll bi<;hopric, In Per ia the prie thood of the Zoroastrian rdigion, famIliar to us as thc :\Tagi, set thcm c1H'S teaclfastl), against the introcluction of. hrio.;ti,lT1ity, so that when the armies of Islam overran Persia, they found comparati\'dy fl'" Christians thcre_ 1'\ ow it mLlst not be supposed tlla t t 1)(' :'.Iahol1H'elans, though it ,,'a b) the sword that tl1PY spread the tlllL'ts or their faith, tn:-atl'd the Christians at first with lllcrci\css scverity, 1L :-.lwuld be borne in mind that both Christianity and Judaism were" ell known in ,\rahia, that ?lTahomed him:-.elf wa't brought into familiar contact \\ itb the111 , that the Arabs and the J e\\, claimrd descen t from 01H' anct..:'ttor, the Patriarch l\braham, and that the l\Iaholl1l'cLlIl faith rccogni cs l\dam, Noah, .\b raham, .:.'IIo. e', and Chri::-.t as the greates t of God's prophcts, prior to l\Iahomcd himself.

b rought much treasure in to the 1\10 lem coffers. When in A.D. 6:37 thc Saracens defeated the armies of the Byzantine Empire in S) lid and P alestine, and ] erusalem fo und it elf forced to surrender, the Christian P atriarch Sophronius went o ut in person (by prior agreement ) to meet the Caliph Omar, and the 1\ro roue into the H oly City iue by side. The Caliph granted to the Christians the frec ex'rci e of their reliot> iun • tl1 e possession of their churche , and the rights of pilgrimage, SUbjL'Ct (0 a light tax. Charlemagne early in the ni lth century exchanged emb,lssles with Harun-ar-ra hid, and with that Caliph's consent l'slabhshed at ] erusalem a ho pice f~ r pilgrims. When, however, the Fatimide dynasty of Egypt conquered yna at the end of the tenth century, the position of the residents and pilgrims became Ie s fil\'ourable. The pilgrim trafIi c in those days between Europe and the Holy Lanu was no doubt a somce of pI cUlliary profit to ,merchant and hipOlyners, especially to those of the Il ali,l11 ports, :\1ere gam, howeyer, wa , let us hope, a 'econuary con icll'ralion. It wa' rather religious zeal that prompted some merchant. of Amalfl (a maritime port situated ju t outh of 1\ aples) to found at ] erualem, in tIll; fiJ"t qu,uler of th~ eleventh century, with the permission of the Caliph of Egypt, an estabh hment for the reception of Chritian pirgrims, called in the Latin of that time" hospitium," whence the word" hospice." It was dedicated to St. .] ohn In this establishment the l)ilrrrims \\'L'rl' I 'oc1(rCll . the Almoner. u t), and, If sIck, cared for. The utility and con, equent popularitr of the institution was such that it soon attracted pecuniary upport, n ot ~nl} from the pilgrims themselves, but also from piou donor ' in all parts of Christendom . Large numbers of volunteers J'oined in assistin p , th· "ood u " work which it was doing. \"ith evcr-increasil1 c,- funds 111 e111\wr , aJ1d ,\ ork, some deflnite organisation soon became nece.·ary. frum thi organisation rose the Order of the Knights of t.] ohn of Jcrus,lkm. In 1065 the barbarous eljuk Turks overran Palesbnc. The Christians suffered terribly; and all Christendom was profoundly mO\'L·d by the new of the atrocities that were committed. Towarcls the clo. e of tIll Ct ntury Peter the H ermit traversed all Europe preaching a Crusade. In response to this call, sanctioned by the Pope, thou. ands from all parh \>( gan (0 flock across Europe and Asia l\linor 7'ld Byzantium toward ,; tLt! Holy Land. Four great horde of so-called crusadcrs , num berin ucr t1wir tens or even hundreds of thousands, composed of men and "omen and even children, were destroyed, two in Hungary: onc in Asia :\Iinor, and one in Bulgaria. After this, in A . D . 1096, the first Crusade \\ as orgamsed. The It aders of it bear names familiar to most of us: Goclfrey of Bouillon, ]' obert, brother of 'Yilliam the Conqueror, Raymond of Toulollse, P obL'rt of Flanders, Bohemoncl, and Tancred. This host consisted of n ot lrss than six hundred thousand persons, exclusive of priests and ,,-omen. However, I am treating here not of the Crusades, but of their influence on thl Order of St. ] ohn. After the capture of ] erusalem in 1099, many of the woullllecl soldiers were tended in the Amalfi IIospital of . t. ] ohn . The leali ns of the Crusade conferred endowments on the hospital, ancl many of thl' Crusaders sought permission to join the ranks of its fraternity . Its Il edel, Peter n~'

Gerard, now proposed that the fraternity should be for med into a regularly constituted religious body, bound by vows of obedience, poverty, and chastity, and subject to t he j urisdic tion of t h e P atriarch of ] erusalem . This being approved, eac h member was invested by the Patriarch with a black robe bearing 011 its breast the eight-pointed white cross, now known as the 7IIaltese Cross . This became the recognised mantle of the Order, as the white mantle with red cross became that of the Templars, and the "hite mantle 'with the black cross that of the Teutonic knights . The knights of St. John, when arrayed for battle, wore over their armour a red surcoat with a plain white cross. All three Orders fought to protect Jerllsaltm fro m the l\Iahomeclans. The Order of t.] ohn was the firs t in5titutl:'cl, being formally sanctioned by a bull of Pope Paschal II. in 1113. Up to the death of Peter Gerard in 1118 the Order remained a monastic and rL'lig<ullS one; hut under his succc, sor in the rna tership, Raymond clll Pu.". the mona. tic knights took a fre h oath to protect pilgrim on the roacls from th' sea to the Iloly City.

their organisation and discipline made them , as troops, far superior to the bulk of the crusading forces. About 11 50 ,Ye find Louis VII. of France regulating his whole army on the model of the Templars. The kings, princes, and noble's of Europc had endowed these Orders with great wealth. The Pope himself wa their Spiritual Head. They held landed property in and drew revenues from every country in Europe, Their Grand Prior anJ CommanJers represented them at every Court. They were the outward and visible ign in Palestinc of that religious zeal • which flOm time to time sent hundreds of thousands of Crusaders, led by the greatest monarchs of Europe, to protect the scene of the lHrth and martyrdom of Christ from the followcrs of Iahomed. Despite, hOWl'\'Cr, all their efforts, Salah-uel-din (, aladin \ ultan of Egypt, a sdf-made man of Kurdish race, won Jerusalem back from them in 11 '7, They were then forced to seek some other stronghold as a base of operations. Ther selected Acre, which had al 0 fallen to ,'alaJin in 11 '7. To thL'ir aij came Frederick Barbaro::; a, Emperor of Germany, Richard Cc.eur-cll'-Lion of England, and Philip Augustus of France at the head of tht Third Crusade. After a siege of t\\-enty-three months, .\.cre, de pitl' tIll L,""orts of aladin to save it, capitulated. It i' said that 10U,000 Crllsad 'r.; lost their lives during thc siege. Acre no\\' became the centre of ~lll' two Orders, to each of whom a separate ponion of the cih' was allotted. They strengthened its fortifications, the Templar ' also building' ~o miles further south on the coa t the stronghold known as Athljt, or Pi:g ims' Castle, the vast ruins of which exist to thi . day. .A t Acre, at the end of the twelfth century, they were joined, as has been already related, br the Order of the T eutonic Knight, It is no place here to l'lltl:r in>o the rivalries and intrigucs that ,et the Latin King, the Knightly Ordl s, and the leaders of the Cru ades at variance with one another. Sunicc it to say that they were at \'arianc~, e\'en to the extent of intriguillg not only with th eir arch-foe, aladin, who was at least a chivalrous soldier and a brave and honourable man, but with such clubiou~ allies a'i the" .\ssa sins" of the" Old :.\Ian of the :.\Iountain." \\There such jealousy and anill10sity existed, success was impo'sible. It is curiolls in thesl' dar~ to rl'<..d that, after the victories of our Richard the Lion-hcarte'cl OVCl' the gallant Saladin, it was proposed, as a basis of the treaty of peace, tllat Picllard'-i sister, the ex-Queen of icily, should marry aifuddin, Saladin's brothL:l', and that only the opposition of the Christian priests prevented aCt ('ptanet' of the proposal. (:.\Iarriage between Christians and Moslems is of very old date. About A.D. 730 the ::'IIoslem Governor of Cenlagne married Lampegie, the daughter of Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, and cntL'r('cl into an alliance with him . Vz'de Amir Ali's" History of the Saracens," p. 147" It does not, however, seem likely that even such an alliance as that would have brought lasting peace to Christian and l\I uslim in the H oly Land, Frederick II. of Germany, though under ban of ex-communication by the Pope, did, indeed, win back Jerusalem in 1228 at the' head of the Fifth Crusade, and crowned himself King (the last Christian K1I1g) of Jerusale m ; but in 1244 a savage horde from Kbiva in Central Asia overran Syria, and occupied the Holy City, The ne\\'s of thi s incited Louis IX. of France (, aint Louis) to embark on tbe Sixth Crusade.

It was a failure . Th e last or evenLh Crusade was led after th c death of t. Louis, by our King Ed ward I. (then Prince Edward ), a good soldier and capable general. His high reputation gathered rou nd him all who ·were willing to fight for The Cros. He failed, how ever, to achieve anything of importance, and finally returned to England about 1271, the last of the Cru aders. Acre, Antioch, l\Iargat, and Tripoli "'ere then still in the hands of the three Knightly Orders, and for twenty years were stubbornly defended by th em. But true as they were individually to their vow to wage undying "'ar against lhc infidel, and staunchly as they would land by each other in de fence of the common cause, their union of strength "'as sapped by the rivalry and ill-will that existed between the three Order. The Templars were inimical to Frederick II. of Germany, the last Latin ring, and vented th eir hatred for him on the Teutonic Knights. These tIl() appear to have driven out of Acre. Half a century or more of ranconr and j ea lousy between th e t,,·o great Order~, the Hospilalkrs and the Templar, broke out in 1243 and 1250 in open war betweell them. In 1260 the Order of the Templars is said to ha\'e numbert cl 20,000 Knight alone (not all, by any means, howL:\'cr in th e I Ioly Land) ; and as the Hospitallers are aid to have been victoriou in th' encounter of 1259, "'e must infer that their strength and number ,,·ere not inferior to those of the Templars. Despite th eir long and deadly feud, however, these two Orders were bound by mutual agreement not to receive ejected member of the rival Order, and the Templar cut off in battle or defeat from all hope of rejoining hi · mrn ranks might rally to the White Cross of St. John, or z'z'ce ·z'ersa. \Yhatever their faults, and they seem to have been many (the charges which in 131~ were the pretext for the suppression of the Templar are very grave indeed ), their courage, their gallantry, and their elevotion to the cluty to which they had avowed themselves, are beyoncl reproach. They never quailed before the enemy, nor clid they ever seek to save their lives at the cost of tlwir faith. The higher grade of both Orders were at once Knights and ':\l onks, and realised each in his own person the highest icleal of the meclli.."e\,al ages -that of dauntless chivalry and stainless devotion. They waged war single-, or, we should perhaps say, clouble-handed, against all the forces of Islam. By 1290 ::\Iargat, Antioch, and Tripoli had all fall en before the overwhelming numbers and power of the . 'aracens. In 12\)1 Acre fell, afLer a long siege and desperate resistance, before the arms of the Caliph of Egypt. The few Hospitallers and Templars who escaped retreated to their ships under cover of the arrows of their archers, and set sail for Cypru. The Order of the Templars ccased to exist in 1:31 2. The Teutonic Knights betook themselves to Germany, there to coerce to Christianity the heathen of Prussia, Poland, ancl Lithuania. The Knights of St. John alone remained to oppose the whole power of Islam in the Mediterranean.

stock as the Phc:enicians, and possessing a seaboard extending from Suez round to the mouth of the Shat-el- rab, they seem to have ri\'ztlled in Indian and East-African seas the maritime enterprise of Tyre and Sidon in the l\Iediterranean and Atlantic. Sayad Amir Ali claims for the Arabs the invention of the mariner's compass, and states that they voyaged to all parts of the ,,'orld in que t of knowledge and in the pursuit of commerce. ir Thomas Holdich thinks that the Arab were the fir t astronomers and earliest navigators, and that Vasco d e Gama not improbably was guided by Arab pilots to the shores of India (in 149 ). It is stated by Sayad Amir Ali that the Arab fleets on the .:\Iediterranean about A.D. G50 were strong enough to dri\'e the Byzantine fleets into the H ellespont, and to invade and reduce the islands of the Greek Archipelago. l\Iahomedan pirates as ,,'ell as aracen fleets infested the .:\Iediterranean. Europe, therefore, during the Crusades had to contend with a power sirang- on the sea as well a by land. After the Knight · Hospitallers withd rL w from Acre to Limasol in Cyprus in 1291, they turned their attention to the creation of a powerful fleet. This done, they attacked Rhod es, and in 1310 won it from it.' Saracen inhabitants. In 1312 all thc posse 'ions of the Knights Templars i\'ere transferred to them by the Pope.

Wo od drew a most apt parallel between the manner in which in the old days the he adquarters of the Order, in Syria, Rhodes, or l\Ialla, called on each priory and commandery in Europe for it quota of recrllits when danger threatened, or some warlike enterprise was about to be undertaken, and the mannel- in which in 180!)-1900, every District Corps and Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade had, in answer to the call from the headquarters of the Grand Priol-y of England at St. John's Grtte, sent its conlingent of trained ambulance men to complde the detachments required for service wilh thc R.A.l\I.C. in South Africa. Tliirt een such detachments have in the last nine months atte nded service in St. John 'S Church, prior to their departure. Just so we can imagine, in the old days, tlie knig.hts and servants-at-arms would attend service in the Old Priory Church, before setting out for the Mediterranean.

No hospital corps could do wiLh~ out ~hel11, TIl l11~inL 'na~lce 01~ an tll11b,ulance Lr~n,sport or bearer corps is a llS eful work, to which l1'1Ll\'e chlCfs, deSirous of cllcilng the Imperial Government, might be ilwited to devote their attention and resources, As far as my knowledge goes, hoth the Volunteers, the Poli c , and the mis, ions ,,'o uld readily adopt "Fir t Aid" in truction, l\J) ontention that mis ion can, if they choose, take up :l.ll1bulance instruction i ' endorsed by what the, t. Aidan :\[ission at Piete rmaritzburg has recentl\' done in aid of ,_ir Red\'er ' Buller's army in I atal. To educate to hum~nise, and to ci\'ilise are the main practical issues of Chri~lian missionary labour. Humanity is the main-spring of " Fir~L Aiel," It is not onl\, that it fits a man to aid his neighbour when in pain or in danger 01' life, buL it cultiYare ' in him philanthropic '~ ntimenls, to \\'hich th e native of India i strikingly callous, N"inety-nine out of one hundred of th em are of the type that passes by on the other . . ide, or that expend . . its liuit' enerOT in D, I U e 1ess clatter. "First Aid" instruction mig'ht act as a corrective to thi ' . If it progres 'e' among native, ye rnacular translation ' of the handbook will be needful. These the mission can, and, I think, \,"ould, readily make. In Great Britain the SL. Toh n •\m bulance Association finds its best fi eld in the great manura(.: t~ll'ing, mining, and ind ustrial centre. In Au~tralia it is doing the same work, During the la t quarter of a century mining and manufacturing industries ha\'e made great progress in India, and nowh 're more than in Bomba\'. 'Vhercyer machinery i ' at work accident are ine\'itable. Owners of 'factories and mines should be the first to encourage ambulance in. truction. There are few of us \\"ho would not dl) all in our power to save human life. It is \'e ry distressing in the hour of need to feel ourselves incompetent. A cour~e or t\\'o l)f "First Aid" lectures removes that incomp etency. A little knowledge prevents us doing the wfong thing. That i ' the point-not to make the injury or disea'ie \\'or e , To apply a temporary splint, to stop serious loss of bloo d, to restore animation, to minimi e the effect of poisons, burns, scalds, frostbite, etc.-these are the simple things that "First Aid' instruction teache, This is no case in .which a little knowledge is an e\'il. It is just that liLLIe knowledge whlch may 'a\'e the :ufferer from further injun'. Carekss handling and wrong remedies do mi schief that the medical· man cannot undo.

The present war in , outh Africa has b .... en so far marked by the comparatively mall numb er of casualties from disease pure and si mple , as well a: by the unusually large percentage of reco\"eries from wound, 1m proved hygiene, improved ambulance and hospital arrangements, the pro\'ision by Government of the mo. t skilled surgical aid, and the assistance rendered by the. t.

John of Jerusalem, when located at Rh odes anu :\1alta, \Va'" recognised and addressed as a " overeign" Order, and the Grand :\1asLer, as head of the Ortl er, had the right to confer such distinctions, just a~ he had the right to coin money, and to maintain amba. sadors or envoys at the \'ariou CourL.· of Europv. General \\ hitworth Porter, in his "Hi. tory of the Knights of :\Ialta" ( Vol. 1., p. 208, first edition ), accepts thi explanation a: correct, although in hi second editio n ( p. 136 ) he adds a note to the effect that many writers have disputed its accuracy. Domenico Promi , \\'ho is regarded as a v"ry reliable authority, in "Moneti dei R eali di Savoia," 1841 (Vol. 1., p. 75), thu. pronounces his opinion: - " :\Iolti eli nostri storici dicono che l' anno sussequente (1315) andasse in Levante in aiuto ai cavalieri di Rhoch stretti dai turchi; che facesse sciogliere l' assedio, e i ndi prendesse la croce bianca in campo ro sso, divisa di que' cavaliere, ed il motto ferl, inLerpretato ForHlztdo Ejlts Rhodulll T ellZtti. l\Ia questo fatto riguardato dai critici come favoloso, che la sc udo della croce era gia usato, come avanti abbiamo deHo, d el conte Pi etro e dallo stesso Amadeo nel 1287 (v.

A. LADE. The pith of the objections of 1esQieur Promi an i Lade is that the white cro. s was borne on the . avo)' COiJl1ge conqiderab..ly before 1315, and that "Fert" is not founel on the Savvy' coinao-c until the reiO"n of a 0 Amadeus Y1.

It shoulll be noted that the early Savoy coins bear no date or name, and consequently they cannot be attributed with certainty to a particular date or rf:'ign. IIence it is impossible or difficult to say in whaL year or under what reign the word " Fert" was first stamped on a Savoy coin. The author of " Anecdotes of Chivalry and Heraldry" (\iVorcester, 1795 ) says, on the contrary:-ccThe letters 'Fert' had long before (1315) been een on the collar of a dog,

This latter fact is ac1miLLed by all writer:3, and there is no apparent reason why the Counts of Savoy should not have earnec1 this clistinction as early as thc reign of Amacleus IlL, who joined the Crusac1e to the IIoly Land in 1147, and died at Nicosia, in Cyprus, in 1148.

How far Hollar's print (dated 1(61 ) ac urate I)' r presents the buildinO's of ir Thoma DOC\\Ta'S Priory is open to qu'stion. Of the earlier Ch~lrch no description or pi 't ure or plan ha come down to us. By the excavations commenced in l\Iay last at the west end of the crypt and present church the plinth and ba e of the original "'all have been laid b:tre. The masonry is perfect. The portion of the wall laid b:ue appears to be the segment of a circle, and the inference is that the na\'C! of the first church of the Hospilall ers, like that of the Templars, wa circular. That such was the ca e is practically certain. The Ord er of the Hospitallers was ev n more closely a sociated with the scene of our 'aviour s life and suffcrings than that of thc Templars, and would b8 just as like ly to take the church of the Holy cpulchre at Jeru, alem as a model for the church of the Granel Priory at Clerken\\,E'11 as the T empla rs for theirs near Fleet treeL The round church of Liltle l\Iaplest.ead is thought to have been erected by thc Hospitallers in or soon aftcr 11 6, in \\'hich year the manor of Li ttl e ~raple . tead was granted by Juliana cl'Oisnel to that Order, and be came the , eat of one of it commanderies. ( l-/de Wallen' "Round Church of Littl e ~rapl e tead," p. 126. ) No connection, it seems, can be established between the round church of t. epulchre's at orthampton and either the T emplar or Hospitallers. Rumour " 'o uld have it that t. ep ulchre' s at Cambridge (attributed to the reign of Henry 1. ) was founded by th e Templars; but the best known archc:eological writers of Cambridge do not support this vicw. Conybeare, in his " History of Cambridgeshire," p. 110, trcating of "The Round Church of the Holy Sepulchre," has the following note :-" Charter as. 73 and 76 of the Ramsey Chartulary ( Vol. 1., p. 145, /LD. 1114-1130) grant to Ralph cum Barba of Camb. and other of the Fraternity of th e Holy Sepulchre the cemetery of St. George and the land adjacent to build them a min ter in honor of God and of the Holy .~(:'p ulchr e," Who " 'ere this "Fraternity of the Holy .'epulchre"?

In suc h acampaign there has been ample scope for inventive genius, and, as might be expected, several new invcntiolls and experiments have been made. The :'IIounted Field Hospital, manned and equipped by the Volunteer Army ::'IIedical Corp,; of ' I think ) :'IIanchester, CIa go,,", and Bradford, is the first Mounted Field Hospital ever sent into the field. It is well suited for work with mounted troops. Promptitude and rapidity in rend ering" Fir t Aid" to the wounded have been marked features in this campaign, and to that end several ne\v invention' tend; notably, the ~Ianders' Flying Hospital and Flying Ambulance Cars. Th e ordinary ambulance carriage i· as cumb rous and slow of motion a is the regulation doolie in India. :'IIr. Horace .:'IIanders, F.R.C. ., who is serving in South Africa as the medical officer of the 12th Battalion of the Imperial Yeomanry, designed two lighter \'ehic1e~, and :'ITessrs. \V. C. \Vind over, Turrill & Sons, of Lon g Acrf' and. outh Audley . treet, built them after his designs. I am indebted to this firm for my information and [or photographs of the cars. The Flying Ho pital Car i built to carry eight slightly wounded men, each man bing strapped in, in a itting position. The seats were at first mad e to face outwards, as in an Iri -h car. In the nevr' est pattern they are made to fa ce inward". The interior is fitted with all " First Aid" appliances. The companion to this is the Flying Ambulance Car, which carries six men strapped on stretchers. It has no" First Aid" appliances. Both these vehicles move at a gallop between the cene of action and the dressing-stations or fi eld hospitals. They can accompany mounted troops in action. The Dat'(J' Grap/lle of 21 t April had ont or t\\'o illustrations of these cars at ,,"ork in the field. They may be looked upon as a development of the Am bulanc Tonga whi ch has, for at least some year past, been in use with th e Army in India. These are now and have for ome time past been used with cavalry on field day and at manceuvres, and during the Tirah Ex pedition were u ed to convey sick and wounded men from the front to the base.

Probably fe,\' per. ons reali~c how comparati\'elr mod ern a thing is the system atic collection andkillccl treatment of the victim of war. It is true that surgeons and doctors accompanied the anllie of ancient Greece on active servic , hut the first idca of an ambulance train proper would appear to have originated \\ ith the Roman, for not only were the Roman legion provided \\ ith doctor. ancl even bearer , bu1.. they had a sort of mobile ho~pital, called the ,,\Taletudinarium," whose' 'pecial mission it was to minister lo the need of the wounded after the fashion of the field ho pitals of to-da\'. _ \\Tlth the decay, of clas ic civili ation r hmrever, all ' uch refinement':> vanished and w re ·peedily _ foraotten' .:> , in fact, it was not until the close of the ixteenth century that military hospital arrangement were revived by the French, who, indeed, to their everlasting honour, ha v' been the pioneers of the ci viIi ed worlel in this respect. In 1590, during the sieg of Orlean ' , . uIl), ordered the e rection of camp ho pitals for the re 'c ption of hi. wounded. Up till then the majority of the wouncled wer either carried to the rear by their comrade, or left to lie expo 'cel to all ri k, and unheeded until after the fighting had ceased. \Varriors of con equenc ,rere, it i true, somewhat ?etter off, for the 'e as a rul included a urgcon, in personal attendance, In their suite; but the rank and file may be said to have been left to die where they had fallen. Richelieu further developed the work of his predecessor, organi ing military hospitals on a large cale, and placing them under the control of a military medical admini trator.

KNIGHTS flO PlTALLERS AND AMBULANCE WORK IN WAR.

The exampll thus s ~t by the Frcn ' h Armies was grac1ually imitated elsewhere, so that by the nu f the scv ntel nth century the institution of military hospitals among besieging forces, or troops that rcnlained more or less ,tationary, had been permanentl), adoptcd. During the Marlborough campaigns, the Fr - nch again gave proof of their humane anxiety to alleviate the horrors of war, anu there th n appeared, for the first time in hislorr, heavy four-wheeled 'wagon on the battle-field itself, wh o e sol' duty it was· to collect the wounded, and remove them to the rear with all po sible de -patch. The 'e were the first ambulances, in the modern sens' of the v,Jo rd, and each contained a detachment of noncombatant, to carry out their laudable obje t. For a perio(l of close on one hundrecl and fifty years followin g their inccption, h0wever, the French wa. the only Army to make use of them. The ncxt forward move in the merciful direction occurred at the commencement of the Dettingen Campaign of 1743, and thi time the credit re t , with an Engli 'hman. Sir J ohn Pringle, phy ician to th e Earl of ,tair, ommanding the British forc e on the Con tin nt, induced th Earl to propose to the French commander, the Duc de oailles, that military ho ' pital on either side should be regard ed as neutral, and be mutuallr protected. The Duc assented, and this humane practice \\"a obse rv ed throughout the campaign, and ub eq uently became the universal custom in European wars. In the year 1792, a young surgeon, named Larrey, joinecl th Army of the North, and in its early battles ,,·a - much impre, sed by the fact that, excellent as we re these new arran o-ements, they we re on a totally inadequate scale, Accordingly, he in his turn set about improving the sy te m in vogue, inventing a more suitable pattern of mobile ambulanc" and attaching a complete field ho 'pital to each di \'ision. During the Peninsular \Var the want of a trained ambulancl' corps and of properly constructed sick transport carriage., each of whi ch the French Armies po e sed, formed a theme of constant complaint. For th e former, oldiers from the ranks were sub tituted-a double cvil , as they were un, uitecl for the w o rk, while their employment lcs ened the fighting strength . F or the latter, commis ariat wagon , or the agricultural cart of the country in which the troops werc operating, were ~mployed. It was not from want of attention bein called to the subject, as th e writing of Sir J. :'\I'Grigor :'I-Iillington and other Peninsular surgeons testi fy. Millington, indeed, publish d a very complete scheme of an ambulance establishment hortly after the war was co ncluded. There is rea on for believing that had the operations of the British troops on the Continent been continued, omc plan of thi kind woulll have been introduced. As it was, after 1815 nothing wa done for our army hospitals in the fi e ld, and th e war that our troop 'w ere engaged in in India, China, ' outh Africa, etc., did not lead to improvements like those in progress in Continental Armies, ince th climate, state of the country, and conditions of labour all n ecessitated special arrangements unsuited for meeting th e circumstances of European warfare. Thus, when the Crimean War broke out th e English Army was still " 'ithout an ambulance corps or an establishme nt of matend, whe r eas the Fre nch Army was,

experience of this war has sho\\'n what cawalties may be expected in a . must b e 0 b' I . I ny modern engagement; and It VlOUS t lat 111 ndia the existinO' ambulance arrangements are lamentably deficient in point of quantity. large number of Kahars are maintained in peace, and hundreds more are wept in from the bazar as each field hospital is mobilised; but after all a field hospital can only carry twenty lying clown cases in a many doolies' a small enough allowance for a regiment, to say nothing of half .. brigade: To carry these twenty cumbrous and unsati factory machines at least six bearers each are required, with a good surplus in reserve. It would be equally simple and far more satisfactory if corps of stretcher-bearers or the IIl1c!et' of such corp, ,,'er maintained and trained in peace - tim~ in big station" and the units expanded indefinitely in time of war." Thi candid and unbiassed testimony from one of the foremost journals in India gives some idea of the defective condition of the ambulance sen'ice and equipment of the Army in India. The rc!medies . , however suggested by the PlOllar by no means meet th case. Nor is the statement that the Natal Ambulance Volunteer were perfectly " untrained" correct. --. ome were certainly trained at the . 'to Aidan's l\fi sion at Pietermaritzburg. To the abo\'e let me add the testimony of the Tt'7Ilcs oj'Illdt'a (weekly edition of June 16th, pp. 2 and 14). From a long article on the" Indian Ambulance Corps in 1 atal" I will make one brief quotation : "Full three weeks were thu passed , in ir Redvers Buller's camp ) in almost continuous work emptying one ho pital after another, chiefly the stationary hospital. During the time five journeys were made to Frere, the men three times carrying the wounded the whole di tance of 25 mile in a single day. It was freely remarked, each time the 'lightfooted elastic-stepped' bearers covered the whole di tance of 25 miles with their charge under a trying sun and over a difficult road, that they alone could perform the feat; 100 mile - in five days may be accounted fairly good walking for a man unburdened with any weight but that of his own carcase and clothes. \Vhen wounded have to be carried on stretchers fo r nearly half that distance, and the greater portion of the remainder is trave rsed by men laden with heavy kit, such marching, I think, will be acknowledged as very creditable work. . uch is the feat lately performed by the I ndian Ambulance Corps, and one that any body of men may be proud of."

This shows what ad m irable material for ambulance work we have ready to our hand in India. I t remains for the dominant race there to train and use it. Be it noted, too, that the atal Indian Ambulance Corps was a Volunteer corps in every sense of the word" Volunteer."
