INAUGURAL SESSION OF THE CONGRESS The Inaugural Session of the Ninth International Congress of Mili¬ tary Medicine and Pharmacy was held on the 3rd of June in the famous Rumanian Athenee in Bucharest. More than fourteen hundred members of the Congress were present, including ninety-two official delegates from thirty-one countries, as well as representatives of inter¬ ested organizations, widely scattered over the world. In a striking way the Congress consecrated the progress accom¬ plished by the idea of the humanization of war. Never before has a unanimous public opinion expressed in so enthusiastic a way its en¬ couragement for those who have undertaken a crusade for the recon¬ struction of the laws of war. From the very beginning of the solemn opening session all the speak¬ ers paid homage to this great movement promoted by the International Congress of Military Medicine and Pharmacy. One after the other, the General of the Army Corps, Aide de Camp Paul Angelescu, Minister of National Defense in the name of King Carol II and of the Rumanian Government; Medical Inspector General C. Iliescu; Minister of Health Dr. I. Costinescu, President of the National Society of the Red Cross, emphasized the importance of the development of these ideas, not only from the limited point of view of the military medical services but also 'from the international viewpoint of the world in general.
