From The Surgeon General
To: The Chief of Staff.
Subject: Sanitary conditions at Camp
Doniphan, Okla.
1. During the past month Camp
Doniphan has had "a admissions
from pneumonia and II deaths; 316
cases of measles, with 1 death; 104
admissions from diptheria, with 1
death; and cases of meningitis,
with 4 deaths. While the number of
cases and the number of deaths from
the aforementioned diseases are
somewhat less than in other camps
visited, the conditions in respect of
those diseases is considered serious.
The basic cause I consider to be over
crowding of the camp. AT present
there are 8 men Quartered in each
tent, which gives totally inadequate
floor space for each man. | recon-
mend that the division commander
be directed to furnish sufficient tent
age or other accommodations so that
each man will be allowed SO feet of
floor space. This would give no
more than 5 men to a tent.
2. Measles and meningitis were in.
troduced into these camps by cases
being brought by incoming troops.
To provide against this in the future
it is recommended that an observa-
ton camp be established for all new
corners, where they may be kept I'M
der observation for at least IA days,
or as much longer as may be consid-
cred necessary by the division sur
geon, and no new man from observa-
ton camps should be placed in the
general camp until it is free from in
lection, I recommend that the divi.
