THE SURGEON GENERAL JACOB
FRANK AUXILIARY,

We reprint the following extract
from an article in Chamberlin's mag.
aZine:
Lieut.. Col. Jacob Frank of Chicago.
surgeon general of the Illinois Ma.
tional Guard, is one of the few Guard
officers to come through the Texas
mobilization of last year with an out.
and.out commentator from the War
Department. The regular army in.
spector.instructors were severe crit.
les, demanding of the citizen soldiers
the same standard that obtains among
the professional soldiers. Hence when
Col. Franks friends found on page
1913 OF the governments official RE.
port on Mobilization of Organized Mil.
tia and National Guard OF the United
States-19l6" the following entry,
they felt 1t no small compliment:
Maj. Phalen, medical corps, U. 5.
Army, nspector-instructor, commends
Lieut.. Col. Jacob Frank chief surgeon,
!. y. g., and states that the fact that
the Illinois troops were protected
from smallpox and typhoid fever be.
fore leaving camp was largely due to
his energy and administrative ability
Col. Franks first public duty was
in 1881 and 1882 as acting assistant
surgeon in the United States Marine
Hospital service, Nine years ago he
was appointed a first lieutenant in the
United States medical reserve corps
by President Taft. Later, through
examination, he became captain and
then major. At the time of the
Cairo food, when the Illinois Guard
was called out, Gov. Dunno detailed
Col, Frank to take charge of the san.
itary operations in the flooded district.
The surgeon generally becoming va.
cant, the governor appointed Col.
Frank.
Col. Frank was chief surgeon of the
Illinois mobilization camps last year,
first al Springfield and then at San
Antonio, Brownsville and elsewhere
in Texas. When the call for border
duty came Col. Frank had the cour.
age to ruin Illinois chance for a
record in rapidity of mobilization.

tant general and to the governor and
said Gentlemen, you have choice
of alternative action. Either you can
rush the troops into camp ahead of
other states and establish q record
or you can give me three or four days
to get the grounds In proper shape
In the first case you will have rec.
ord for eificiency--but lot of men
will die of meningitis, scarlet fever
and the like. In the second case you
will lose your spectacular record
but you will not lose any men" A
delay of three days was granted and
as result Illinois did not lose q

during the mobilization.

"Nothing is too good for the sol

and It was stated that no effort,
therefore, had been made to Introduce
mearless or wheatless days. 1t was
felt that the civilian population, en-
joying less strenuous life, should

attempted any regulation or control eli
