General Headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces, Dec 31.-tCor- respondeslce of the Associated Press. )-The prodigious effort or the medical department in the army ill France is revealed in statistics which The Associated Press is now permitted to make public. When, on November II, the armistice suspend ed hostilities and the great expan- sion and extenson work of the med ical department was suspended, there were in operation 2S3.240 beds in camp and base hospitals and con- valescent camps with about 100000 of them vacant
 There were on duty in the Ameri can Expeditionary Force at that time 12,9S9 doctors and S.593 nurs- es. The authorized nurse strength of the army when, America enter ed the war was 2O6 and oe doctors 300, figures that testify to the work tho medical corps was called upon to perform.
 The disqualification of the army in France is interesting. Basically it consists of mobile organizations. To each division there are f,nr field hospitals, two evacuation hospitals and in addition there is fixed hos pitalization. consisting of camp ana base outfits and sconvalescent camps. with an authorized bed capacity Of 1o per cent of the strength of the command.
 There are now S5 camp hospitals serving, training, and billet!ng areas while for general service and for tho treatment of more serious cases and battle casualties there are 115 base hospitals. These base hospitals oc- casionally are single institutions ot from 1000 to 5000 beds or arc grouped in hospital centers. Twenty such centers of from 2.500 to 15,000 beds are in operation.
 Convalescent camps at the bed rate of twenty per cent of norman hospital beds are authorized for the purpose of giving as early sraduat- cd physical training as possible and fifteen such camps are in operation at present,
 The American hospitals are partly Tn French barracks. school buildings and hotels and partly in construct cd cantonment of demountable build ings. All tho buildings taken over were remodeled and cutfittcd for the purpose, lighted and heated and modernized, while tho demountable huts are models of their kind.
