the report is dwelt upon at great length

Its complete form TO ba properly under
stood. glance at the commission =
summing up. however, will sufficiently in
uicate its nature:
"First-That az the outbreak OF the war
the medical department was, in men and
Materials altogether unprepared TO meet
the necessities Of the army called out
''SeCond-Fhat az result of the action
through q generation OF contracted and
contracting methods Of administration, il
was impossible Cor the department to
operate largely. freely and without undue
regard to cost
"Third-That in the absence OF a special
corps of inspectors and the apparent in
frequency OF inspections by chief sur.
gcons and of official reports OF the state
of things in camps and hospitals. there
was not such investigation OF the Sani-
tary condition of the army us is the first
duty imposed upon the department by the
rCCul3 tons.
"Fourth-That the nursing force dur
ing the months Of May. June and July
was neither ample nor efficient. reasons
for which may be found in the lack of
proper volunteer hospital corps, due TO
tho failure OF congress TO authorize its
establishment and to the non-recognition
In the beginning Of the value of women
nurses and the extent to which their serv-
ices could be secured
"F'ifth-That the demand made upon the
resources OF the department in the care
OF sick and wounded was very much
greater than had been anticipated, and
consequently. in like proportion, these
demands were imperfectly met
sixth That wcrless as the depart.
ment was TO have supplies transferred
from point to point except through the
intermediation of the quartermaster's de.
pdrtment, il was seriously crippled in its
efforts to fulfill the regulation duty Of
furnishing all medical and sick supplies
"Seycnth-That the shortcomings in adj
rinistration and of operation may Justly
be attributed in large measure TO the hur.
~ and confusion incident TO tho Assem-.
bling Of an army Of unframed officers and
men. ten times larger than before. for
which no preparations in advance had
b. en- made or could be mado because of
existing rules ana regulations.
Eichth-That withstanding all the
n2nstCst errors, Of emission rather than
or commission, vast deal OF good work
was done by medical officers, high and
low. regular and volunteer and there
were unusually few deaths among the
wounded and the sick
