...great work of the Army and Medical Corps of the world, and at least as much space would be needed to describe with any completeness the vast body of scientific knowledge and skill used in the engineering feats that are witnessed almost daily when a drive is in progress. To move forward the vast armies with which we are familiar in the war conditions of today and to move them forward, as is, of course, necessary, with proper speed and with proper support, is in itself a scientific achievement of a high order demanding at every phase the exercise...
There may be some satisfaction--though we doubt it--to know that the progress of cold waves is "due to thee gravity of the hydrostatic pressure due to the weight of the air in the rear of a volume of cold air advancing from the northwest, resulting from the diurnal rotation of the earth on its axis, giving a centrifugal force to the denser cold air greater than that of the neighboring warm air." This mechanical theory of the progress of the wave does not, however, explain exactly why the present (it is impossible at the moment to write "recent...
