MEDICAL CORPS
FIGHTING UNIT
Of j. {. ARMY

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Persons
accustomed to think of the medical
corps of the army as a non-combatant
unit will be astonished by suggestions
prepared for the conduct of military
surgeons newly arrived in the war
zone. A bulletin from the office of
the surgeon general sums up the tech
nical military knowledge which an
army surgeon must have to do his
duty competently, and incidentally
shows the exposure to which he is
subject.
mental surgeon arrives in a new sec
tor and has supervised the Install
ment of his material" the bulletin
says, "he should rapidly gain an in
innate personal knowledge of the first
line trenches, dugouts, listening posts,
evacuation trenches and means of
transportation to the rear. This
knowledge should be gained on the
I day of arrival, if possible, because
, enemy surprise attacks are frequently
cOincident with the arrival of troops
in a new sector. It should be ac-
! quired through day and night inspec-
ton in order that he may be able to
describe the topography of the ter
rain to his personnel. The latter
should also be given an early oppor-
tunity of familiarizing themselves
with the system of trenches Hlss evac-
uation routes, so that when called
upon to pick up wounded, at least one
man of each squad is familiar with
the general contour and direction of
the trenches.
"The surgeon should also acquaint
himself, through his commanding Of
ticer with the location of the enemy
trenches, batteries, trench mortars
and mitrailleuse redoubts, together
with the habits of the enemy in that
particular sector. By habits is
meant the routine firing of the day
OF night during periods of normal &C
tivity Certain open spaces, cross
roads, gulleys, etc, are regularly I'M
der fire at certain hours of the day
or night, and the sanitary personnel
must learn to avoid these places dur
ing these periods.
I'm the preparation of an attack the
battalion and regimental surgeons are
invariably apprised of the probable
detectives to be attained They must
study the general topography of the
country to be traversed, it's enemy
trenches, dugouts and aid stations. in
order to be able to utilize them dur
ing the engagement.
"The battalian surgeon must often.
perhaps usually, ,extemporize the first
aid station within enemy lines, AS
soon as he has done this he must in
dictate to his personnel the proper
evacuation routes for the wounded.
When an advance is contemplated or
severe attack is being repulsed, and
reserve stretcher bearers are being
sent to the aid stations, the surgeon
should Immediately inspect the new
personnel, and especially see to it
that the men understand the use of
gas masks and portable oxygen tanks.
"At no time must the surgeon lose
sight of the fact that he must try to
keep his personnel intact In trench
warfare, especially, there are innu-
merable opportunities for useless
wastage of personnel. Lack of famil-
iarity with the terrain, an unguarded
raising of the head, ETC., will often
suffice to reduce the personnel of the
medical corps"

the building very carefully and 10
Gated the new instruments and the

made in the interests of convenience
and time saving and will be a decided
aid toward efficiency. The new in
struments will be numerous and To-

will often enable the location in or
out of the building of some partic-
ular person quicker than in any other
way.
