War VIII Embody Story of
Surgery and Doctors
Aids

The surgeon general Of the army
Maj Gen. William C.. Gorgas, has es
tablished a board to collect material
for the medical and surgical history OF
American participation in the Euro
pean war. This board Is composed OF
Col. G. G.. McCuIlock, librarian Of the
army medical library; Maj. F. H. Gar
rison, assistant librarian in direct
charge Of work on the history; and
Capt. John S. Fulton, secretary Of the
Maryland state board of health, who
will havo charge Of the statistical
work.
One phase Of the subject which will
be given attention is the advance
made N reducing both the number OF
cases Of disease and the death rate
among those cases occurring. This
reduction is forecast by results dur.
ing the mobilization Of United States
troops for service on the Mexican Dor
der and among the European armies
Engaged in the war.
Some European countries are
known to be well along on medical
histories Of the war. The medical his
tory Of the civil war in the United
States is made up Of six volumes,
whose preparation covered period
Of twenty-eight years from the end
of the war.
It Is planned to have the work
done relatively soon after the end of
the war, although the immense mass
of reports to be gone through and an
alyzed and the material from them as
sembled will probably require many
months work.

I'VE Of the army an dnavy believe

wish it should TO US be a command.
Within the last ten days | have heard
directly from the president that 1t Is
his wish that all benevolent acts IN
connection with the war be placed IN
the hands Of the Red Cross.
at Is The duty Of all civilians, az
well as that OF the fighters. to follow
the presidents wishes. One fact alone
should make every man, woman and
child join; that Is that even the Ger
mans permit Red Cross packets to 20
through their lines to American. pris-
oners.
THE Red Cross IS the only legalized
body for benevolent work In The
United States: it was organized under
{. congressional act. People ask two
things: What is the Red Cross doing?
Why should We do something 70,
them?
All they have to do Is to visit Camp
Sherman to see what has been done
out there. 1t is too bad all OF their
, wonderful work cannot be visualizeo
: in that manner.

work. l just had the pleasure OF lis
