The Training

of those officers who are to be an

partments of the service. But he
believes he does know the training
the war surgeon should undergo,
as he proceeds to point out:
while the training of this group of
officers should be chiefly technical. in
struction in the general duties of
medical officers is of value and should
not be omitted. The writer recalls
with the keenest pleasure and cnthusi-
asm course of instruction conducted
in Plattsburg in 1916 by Lieutenant
Colonel (now ColoneD Henry Page and
Major (now Lieutenant Colonel) Philip
Huntington. Besides physical exercise

Toward Improving Our War Hospitals
----Now That the War Is Over.

tain age limits, to all classes of society
alike.
The organization of the staff of an
evacuation hospital includes the ap-
pontment Of a director, together with
from twenty-five to fifty other officers,
depending upon the capacity of the
hospital, arranged according to their
ability and experience, into two groups,
namely, those to whom the more serious
operations are to be assigned and to
those who are to serve as their assist
ants. Directors should be, as far as
possible, men of wide experience who
previously have been visiting surgeons
or assistant surgeons to civil hospitals.
Of these considerable number have
trained successive generations of in
ternes, and through this association are
peculiarly we'll qualified to suggest
candidates for appointment to the staff.
The recommendation by the director
of such officers for appointment, es
pecially if approved by the committee
at large, should, when possible, receive
favorable consideration. Such a nu-
cleus of men, of more than average
ability, trained by similar methods, and
enthusiastic and eager to serve under
a former leader, vastly increases the
efficiency of any hospital unit. Unfor-
tunately request of this kind by the
writer, when about to organize an evac-
uation hospital, was refused, owing to
lack of feasibility
"Of the six candidates so recommeno-
ed not one reached the front until
after the armistice was signed. and
several remained in this country dur
ing the entire war. 1t is, however. a
pleasure to mention that, during the
Argonne campaign, several former stu
dents, temporarily assigned to dutv on
the writer's staff, rendered service of
the greatest value and clearly demon
strated the advantage to be derived
from the appointment of those moro or

each passenger has view outward
during the progress of the fight.
In the front of the car, as sug-
gested in the above picture, is a
small observation platform. Here
passengers, if they wish, may have
fine view on all sides. In such
large aircraft there is nothing to
prevent passengers now from NOV

nacelle. The other two, each of 500
horsepower, drive wing tractor air
screws through tubular shafting and
single bevel gears.
In front Of the centre nacelle is
the navigation and control compart-
ment. The span Of the planes is
100 feet. The designed maximum
speed is 11O miles an hour, and the
service speed 100 miles. The ma
chine, with passengers, will weigh

War Surgery

"The study of war surgery should inn
mediatcly follow that of practical
anatomy, the necessary instruction be-
ing given in hospitals near the front
While opportunities for observation OF
practical work under these conditions
were extended during the past war to
limited number of officers, no serious
attempt was made to provide COM
prehensive course of instruction and
the observer left to his own initiative
was inclined to spend the larger
amount of his time in the operating
room
This most important part of an OF
ficer's training, which he should re-
ceive not as spectator but as an
actual assistant to an experiences
member Of the staff. must unquest;on-
ably be supplemented by training IN
the triage, in the evacuation wards, IN
the shock ward, where the desperately
wounded are treated, both before ana
after operation, and in the post-opers-
tive wards. In all of these different de-
rartments as in the operating room the
student officer must be not a mere OBJ
server. but an actual assistant to the
surgeon in charge"
New-York tribune., 1919-06-22

Inc estimated weight, including
1000 pounds of mail, is 10000
pounds.
The wing structure scheme is
monoplane, with a small auxiliary
plane principally for bracing pur-
poses. The spars of the planes are
made partly self-supporting from
the fuselage, thereby reducing the
loads on the interplane struts and
wires and, consequently, their di-
menslons and resistance to air
pressures. Tentatively the price of
thls machine is estimated to be
$1,000.

A attempts to outline system de-
signed to improve the war hos.
pital. He finds that the "functions
and administration of evacuation
hospitals at the time the United
States declared war and for almost
eighteen months afterward were not
at least in this country, clearly un.
derstood."
The trouble would seem to be that
until the recent hostilities it has
never been thought necessary to
standardize methods that could be
applied to war surgery Of to-day.
Surgery of the Civil War day was
obsolete and that of the Spanish
War ineXtensive
A plea for practical, rather than
theoretical, operating experience,
and for a divorce of the technical
and administrative stats are the
outstanding points in DR.. Eliot's
paper. Of the organization of the
modern evacuation hospital he has
the following to say:
whether it is possible to obtain a
sufficient number of volunteers from
the ranks of the medical profession in
war of any magnitude or length, es-
pecially for the less popular admins
tratlve branch of the service, is ex-
tremcly doubtful. The number of those
who, impelled by patriotism, are
prompt to respond to the call for VOL
untecrs and who are willing to serve.

no matter how mcnal, is not likelv to
prove adequate to the demand. The
resulting deficiency must be compen-
sated by the draft, which should be an
