BERLIN. Feb. 21. — According (o
figures just published by the German
medical weekly (lleutsche Medizin
ische Woechensehrift), the medical
corps of the German army has estab
lished better and better results almost
every month in treating the wounded.
The record at the start was, in fact,
a very high one, 84.8 per cent of the
wounded being so completely healed
that they could return to the ranks,
3 per cent dying, and the remaining
12.2 per cent being discharged as un
fit for further service or sent away on
furlough for later examination.

BILLIONS SPENT -
LATIN AMERICA "
01 [ . -
PANAMA. Feb. 21. — More than ten
nd a half million dollars were spent
i Latin-America by the larger mis
lonary organizations of North Ant
rim in the five years ending in 1914,
ceording to the report of the com
lission on the home base presented
oday by the Congress on Religious
Fork In Latin-Amerlca, which is in
ession here.
This sum represented an Increase
f almost four million dollars over
he amount spent in the preceding
Ive year period, and was nearly
hree times as much as was spent in
he first period for which statistics j
ire re available, 1889-1894.
At the same time the commission *
eported that the support given by
he home churches to the Latin Am
rican missionary field was pitiably
nadequate, in view of the tremendous
cope of the work.
The report declares that until re
ently at least the prevailing attitude
award evangelical work in Latin
unerica has been one of indifference,
nnguid interest or actual opposition.
'he commission says that the asser
ion is frequently made that the aver
ge Christian knows more about Af
ica or China than he does about the
epublfcs of Latin America.
“Another cause of the prevailing
ndifference." the report continues,
has been that missions to these
ountries have been considered as
ossibly an impertinence. Many find
mill' ill! Ill I.UIM Cl i r i/I ' ni mill' I H
il wealth and prosperity, such as are B
vldent in the capitals of Brazil. Ar I
entlna and Chile, as coincident with B
eal spiritual poverty. Some have ™
bought also that since the Homan Cn- —
holie church, which has been domin-| “
nt in Latin-America for four hun
red years, has so much of Christian
ruth and has accomplished so many
ood things, therefore, this church
leets the total need and there is no
all for outside religious Interference
r help."
After reviewing the enormous extent
f the countries to the south and the
auditions under which the masses of
te people live, the commission makes
n urgent plea to the home churches
> awaken to a keener interest in their
yuthern neighbors and give more ac
re support to the missionaries.
