. During the late meeting at Berlin of the Society for Giving Aid to Sick and Wounded in Time of War, the Prussian army had a grand manoeuvre. In this they imitated exactly an actual field of battle. Men were supposed to be killed and wounded, and were borne off the field. The ambulances were all equipped as for war, and the army surgeons were ox duty and watching over the carriiige of the wounded men, as if tho field of battle were a real one. To test the medical arrangements the number of men supposed to be wounded was made greater than would actually be the case, and wounds of all kinds were supposed to be inflicted. Every wounded man was attended to on the field, and the brobability is that the medical department was harder worked for the time than even at Koniggratz. At any rate, they received a most instructive lesson, which it would be most useful for us to repeat sometimes at Aldershbt.
