PROMPT SERVICE RENDERED
BY MOBILE HOSPITAL UNITS

With the American Forces In
France, Sept. 11-Within forty min
utes after arriving at an advance sta
ton behind the firing line some of
the mobile operating units attached
to the American Army are ready to
receive wounded soldiers for major
operations. Ordinarily the unit is
stationed near a base hospital to
await a call from near the firing line.
1t consists of sixty.two officers, fifty
nurses and nearly 200 enlisted men
and is composed of five sections each
of which is complete operating
group with chief surgeon, and an
assistant. Students from the Untver-
sity of Cleveland and who were
trained at Allentown, Pa, composed
the majority of the enlisted person
mel.
Having arrived behind the firing
line the unit unloads its equipment
and provides beds under canvass for
wounded men and must provide all
the accessories of modern hospital
for immediate use The operating
pavilion is a tent erected over met
al floor, the outfit includes xray
plants and sterilizing appliances,
Electricity for light and for operation
of the X-ray outfit is supplied by a
motor and dynamo carried on a truck
By these advanced methods sur
geons are saving lives today in cases
where a few years ago the patient
would have been counted as mortal
Iy wounded This is partly due 10
the fact that with this modern equip
ment and swift movement the most
difficult and delicate operation may be
performed often times within sound
of the big guns along the line OF bat
tie.
Some of the best known surgeons
in the United States are engaged IN
this work and daily and nightly are
performing operations during battle
which would have been impossible in
previous wars.
