ARMY DOCTORS FACE

CAMP MEADE. Admiral. Md. Dec. Is.
Commissioned officers in the medical
corps at Little Penn must prove their
fitness or resign from the service, ac-
cordng to orders issued at division
headquarters
Ten days ago an examining board was
appointed to determine the fitness of line

this board. 1t was explained that many
men in the medical corps of the National
Army have failed to meet the require

can be included in that group are at

time this week Little Penn has been
called upon to furnish men for other
camps.
The latest draft sent twenty-six men
TO the Sixth Regular Army Division at
Anniston, Ala. The men who left Camp
Meade for the Alabama camp are:

the officers came on parade for what
was to be the last time. We were quite
proud of our company because We had
just received a reinforcing draft of forty
men which brought our numbers up to
about 12o-slightly more than oue-half

In those days men were not as plenti-
full as they are now. We had TO &c.

Every man was carefully inspected I,

gas masks and his iron ratlons. Tho
latter consisted chiefly OF tin bully
beef and some hard biscuits. These
were most necessary. as we never knew
when the Germans might attempt
flank movement at the base OF the Ypres
salient, and II this were successful those
Of us who were at the nose of the
salient might have to subsist for two
or three days on our iron rations until

tin of bully beef struck the men as
being a piece of useless and very heavy
furniture, which 1t was advisable to

TO THE FRONT LINE
1t was just getting dusk as the in
spection was completed. Every man
hitched his pack up into a comfortable
position on his back, gave a final tug
at his belt and In a few minutes we
were off on that long journey OF seven
miles past Nlamertinghe and Ypres, right
