Interesting Letter
From, Paris Boy

News comes from Sam E. Coun-
sell, specially assigned to Base Hos
pital Fifty-Seven, now in training at
Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga, of the wonder
full work Uncle Sam is doing in the
Medical Department of the army.
Many hospitals units of every de-
scription are located i nCamp Green
leaf, at Ft Oglethorpe, and from ac-
counts written by Counsel, are en-
joying life while they train. The
boys take to the work in great style
and seem to love the first aid work
more than any other part of the train
ing. This consists of Litter Drill
ing" and of all the details of applying
the tourniquet to different parts of
the body, in order to stop severe
bleeding. Every man must pass
through "The School Of the Soldier

the rules and regulations of military
life. Each man is kept busy from
First Call" in the morning until
"Taps" at nine-thirty at night, how
ever, all the boys seem to like the life
and of course mix great deal of fun
With their work.
Base Hospital Fifty-Soven was or
ganized by Frank D. Smith, a we'll
known surgeon of Memphis and
throughout the South. Its officers
and men are mostly volunteers from
Memphis and the surrounding coun-
try. 1t was organized for oversee
service and is to be equipped for one
thousand beds, with staff of twenty
six officers, two hundred men and one
hundrd nurses. The men are all
eager to finish their training and are
waiting patiently for tie day when
the command comes to go "Ovei
