Chicago, Feb. THE United States
in few years will have an army Of
100000 men ready to take the field,
and to meet the requirements of this
vast body of men at least 10000 sur
geons will be required, asserted, as
serted DR.. w. G. Gorgas, surgeon
general Of the United States army be-
fore the annual Congress of Medicine
here tonight
The Examinations
DE- Gorsas was urging the adoption
of a proposal offered earlier in the
day for a national conference Of med
zeal examiners, composed of repre-
sentatives of state medical examining
boards. which would prepare examina-
ton questions for state boards
throughout the country. Candidates
who passed this examination would
he eligible for the United States Med
ical Reserve Corps and would not
have to pass any other examination
for licenses to practice.
Should the plan be adopted DR..
Gorgas said, it would place the United
States in a state of preparedness from
medical standpoint. uneXcelled by
any nation: each surgeon would be
instructed in field duties, camp sani-
tation. and the proper foods to be
given out in various climates
At a moments notice he would be
ready to take his place in the field and
perform his duties without any in
struction.
This form of preparedness, asserted
DR.. Gorsas, is just as essential as
military preparedness.
The session of the congress today
was devoted to discussion Of the
proposal, but no change in the orig
inal form was suggested.
The congress will close tomorrow
evening with a joint meeting of the
Association of American Medical Col
leges and the Federation Of State
Medical Boards.
