SICK WERE WELL CARED FOR

Nurses Early in Outbreak Overcome
as Speedily as Possibie-ehysieian
Reports Epidemic Nov Over Attic
Some are Still Dangerously III.


Special TO Times Republican.
Des Moines. Oct. 2S.-During the
epidemic of Spanish influenza at Camp
Dodge Chairman Lafayette Young OF
the state council Of national defense,
detailed Dr. O. j. Fay, n member OF the
council and one Of the eminent sur
geons and physicians of the state, 10
make an investigation Of conditions at
the big cantonment for the council
Dr. Fay has Just made his report
Il am satisfied" declared Dr. Fay
in his report, after this personal IN
vestigation that you can safely assure
the fathers and mothers of Iowa who
lost their sons as the result OF the
epidemic that every possible measure
was taken to insure their comfort ana
the best medical treatment known was
administered in an effort to save their
lives, and that while some OF the pa
tents were compelled to suffer dis
comforts temporarily l feel satished
that it can not be truthfuly said that
single soldier met his death because
of any lack Of care and treatment
Facilities overtaxed.
DR.. FAY explained that with normal
hospital room for less than 1000 pa
tents and with some 5000 cases OF in
fuenza within fifteen days it became
necessary to convert about 100 bar
racks into emergency hospitals IN
which influenza cases alone were
housed. all cases developing pneu-
monia or otherwise serious condiuon
being Immediately transferred to the
| base hospital.
1t is but natural that increasing
the number of sick in very few days
from a normal Of 1,400 to 1000 threw
an enormous load on the base hospital
staff and on Major Burch. command
ing officer. 1t was to be expected that
during the early days OF the influx OF
patients there would be lack OF per-
feet system, especially in the barracks
converted into temporary hospitals.
No doubt during the early first days
Of the epidemic there was a shortage
Of many hospital supplies as well as
nursing personnel.
To much credit can not be given
to the American Red Cross for its eff
Gent prompt and mastery manner OF
handling this emergency. Thru the
representative of the central district
J. r. Stewart, located at Camp Dodge,
| more than fifty thosand dollars worth
| of material was supplied Camp Dodge
during the first fifteen days OF the
| epidemic.
Individual efforts for the relief OF
| the alleged shortage OF materials at
the base hospital should be discour-
aged. The efforts of everybody should
be directed instead to the support OF
the American Red Cross. which with
it's wonderful organization was amply
able to meet and has met this emer-
gency.
The epidemic Is now over at the
camp. All the sick are being cared for
at the base hospital. While there are
still many sick with pneumonia and
some of these probably will die, | feel
that the awful calamity is practically
over.'
