Three responsible men tried last week to tell Great Britain just what sort of war the Government thought it would be-how long, how cruel, how futile...
Boxer Lou Nova, who spent three years at the California College of Agriculture, is a serious sort, reads books, diets, sleeps long, goes for some queer fangles in fighting. For the Baer fight, for example, he trained at the yoga roost of Dr. Pierre Bernard, the Omnipotent Oom of the Sunday supplements.

The late Spanish war taught doctors a rapid, efficient blood-transfusion technique. But military surgery remains essentially a problem in organization, and doctors aim primarily to sort and shift casualties, to move them on like "factory goods on a conveyor belt." Experts claim that eight operating teams, of nine men each (including anesthetists and nurses), can handle 120 serious surgical cases in ten hours...
