HEALTH EQUIPMENT
IS NOT COMPLETE
Gorgas, Fearing Spotted Fever
Among Soldiers, Put
in Charge.

Washinton. April 22.-The army rnedi-
cal officers are disturbed over the lack AZ
hospital corps men and some Of the equip
ment necessary for the field work Of their
department II is estimated that in the
event of the proposed organization Of
the LIST field army. under General Leon
ard Wood. there will be available only
about one-fourth of the sanitary units
prescribed by the field service regulations.
This need has been known for several
years and has been the occasion OF
urgent recommendations 10 the surgeon
general OF the army. Ii is now again
called 10 the attention Of the War De-
partment by General ". c. Gorgas who
was put at the head Of the Army Medical
Department. and found vital defects in
the facilities for caring for the wounded
and protecting the health Of troops.
The latter phase Of the situation is al
ready giving the surgeons some anxiety.
They have conquered such ailments as
typhoid. cholera. smallpox and malaria
so that little or no apprehension is enter
tanned regarding an epidemic Of those
diseases There is, however. spotted fever
among troops stationed in Mexico for any
length OF time. This is a camp disease
and prevails throughout Mexico. The
greatest care must be taken 10 protect
the troops against this possibility Of I'm
pairment OF efficiency.
The records of the surgeon generals Of
fee show that armies have suffered
greatly in this respect. There must be
special precautions 10 guard the troops
against this disease. General Gorgas,
who has attained an international reputa-
ton "a an expert in sanitation, is giving
his personal attention 10 the situation.
