things too numerous to mention In
detail, but in general having to do
with the fundamental method OF pro-
cedure in army matters. Cne chap
ter may deal with ceremonies as part
Of a review, a funeral, the visit OF a.
foreign dignitary, or courtesies prop
er to exchange between officers OF
different services. Another tells in
detail how to go about getting sup
plies, how to take care OF them and
TO account for them IL lost damaged,
stolen, or used up. Another dis
cusses the difficult questions of re-
sponsibility and accountability, for IL
is evident that some individual must
be held accountable for property in
trusted to his keeping.
The drills must be learned by the
prosaic method of doing them one
self, for nowhere is Ii truer than in
the army that one is not fitted to
command who can not obey. This
exercise is also a good way for the
newly arrived physician to get him.
self into better physical condition.
The majority. OF those physicians
who have come TO us have found
outdoor work strenuous at first. Most
of them soon become accustomed to
it and say they have not been in such
good condition for years.
The obese often lose from fifteen
to twenty-five pounds; the thin
register substantial gains.
Average Age Over Thirty-Five.
The average age of medical officers
is well over thirty-five. At this time
OF life men are generally settled in
their habits, and however willing
they may be to comply, 1t Is a mat
ter Of some difficulty for them to re-
adjust themselves overnight. To
put the matter concretely, to man
who has been accustomed to get up
when he liked, go to bed when he
liked, and dress as he liked, il is dis
concerting to be awakened at 5:15
and be fully dressed and in line at
$3.50. 1t means springing out OF bed
promptly and getting busy - very
busy. To be in bed with the lights
out at 10 is not SO hard, for he is
generally dog tired. To be inspected
minutely, as the officer later will in
spect his personnel, is q fine object
lesson, but it comes a bit hard at
first.
One. might suppose that the ques-
tion OF submitting to superior
authority would be the most difficult
of all. but results have surpassed our
expectations. 1t was soon found
that officers who had attained real
prominence in the medical world
were most ready to get into the spirit
of military life. An energetic officer
of thirty or thirty five who shows a
distinct capacity for administrative
work and can command men may be
put in with a regiment either as a
senior or junior officer, according to
his ability. Another may be given
charge of an ambulance company or
field hospital. II has often hap
pened that two or three attempts are
necessary to find the best place for
a man. Some have been teachers
in medical colleges, and range from
department heads in large uni
versities to Junior assistant, and
such have been largely utilized as
instructors.

DR.. James Aylen of Fargo, who en-
sted in the medical service some
lme ago, supplies interesting data Of
he war work Of physicians in an
rticle that he has transmitted to
Hrs. Aylen.
The article, published by The New
fork Times, given an insight into
he medical mans life in the service
hat is exceedingly interesting.
| Medical officers are made in three
honths; they must know the army
ules, procedure and customs, and
heirs is no easy life.
/ The article in question is by Major
!. s.. Williamson, professor OF clinical
hedicine in the University Of Illinois,
nd follows:
The medical officer in the army
occupies a position different from
hat OF his civilian confrere, in that
lie must assume responsibility of a
arre amount OF administrative
york, which must be done along
Ines identical with those used by the
est OF the army.
! A member of the medical officers
eserve corps, transplanted to active
hity in the army, must be familiar
Fith the organization, its system for
facing responsibility, its relation to
he civilian authorities, and, lastly,
Eith that unwritten code known as
he customs OF the service. Further,
fe must know accurately the rela-
Jon Of the medical department to
he line officer in order that his
luties may be effectively performed.
Vow, these things, while less formid-
kble to learn than the professional
knowledge that the physician has
llready acquired, nevertheless re-
Iuire study. drill and practical ap-
llication. The training camps have
een instituted to instill this know
edge. Starting with the assumption
hat the physician is familiar with
he practical aspects of medicine and
surgery, the three months of in
lensive training supply the thing
aclxing to develop him into a COM
petent army medical officer.
