IOWA CANTONMENT
HOSPITAL ENLARGED

Des Moines, Feb. 1.-THE govern
ment is still enlarging the base hos
pital at Camp Dodge. When it was
started it was to have 500 beds. The
government then ordered 1t enlarged
to accommodate 1000 beds. Now a
third order has come to increase the
plant to 1000 bed size within the next
two or three months.
It Is not that there has been more
sickness than had been anticipated, for
generally the health Of the men at
Camp Dodge has been unusually good,
but because of the strict quarantine
and detention measures now being en-
forced, while companies are at times
detained until all danger OF their COM
ing down with some disease to which
they have been expos ed has passed.
Col. w. p Chamberlain Of the sur
geon generals office at Washington
has been at Camp Dodge the last few
days. He is considering the plans for
the enlargement OF the hospital
II the hospital is increased to 1000
bed capacity it will be one Of the larg-
est at any cantonment In the United
States.
When the next increment comes in
there will be need for more hospital
room than is now available at the
camp.
