About two years ago the lonely,
snow-locked outpost stocked up with
700 pairs of skis, a like number Of
snowshoes and the array of equip
ment which is necessary for skier.
In classes of 200 each the regiment
set about the man-sized task of put
ting itself on runners.
Almost single-handed, Sergt. Peter
johnson whipped the men into
shape, teaching them everything
from simple country running
to difficult stemm telemarks and
ChriStiana turns. To date he has
produced more than 1000 fine ski
soldiers, several of whom have
placed in ski meets.
In addition to the headquarters
company and the machine gun COM
panieS there have been men out
fitted with snoWshoes and heavy
equipment. and guns have been put
onto sleds and toboggans. AS a
result, the whole regiment has been
able to take part in winter maneu-
verS which III many Northern forts
have hitherto been rendered impos-
sible because of the snow.
Pleased with the success of their
experiments, officers reported the
members of the regiment were able

strated, the soldier must be pre-
pared to ski for great periods OF
time without rest, when natural
obstacles have been replaced by an
enemy which has steel bullets, aerial
bombs, artillery shells, poison gas
and liquid fire.
OF course, he has the advantage
of near invisibility when clad in his
white over-garments and there are
periods when he must perforce rest
and wait. Probably he will be re-
warded with extra pay for his more
dangerous missions. Just the same
his lot is not soft.
But, like many other pursuits in
which there are elements both OF
danger and skill, the service will
undoubtedly be attractive to the
majority of young American men,
Many probably will envision it as a
free continuance of all the nice snow
trains they took last winter. Many
Army recruits in the past months
nave specifically requested Northern
post assignments. simply because
they want to ski"
But why they want to ski isn't
so important, so long as they are
good skiers and good soldiers.
What's important, in the eyes of the
War Department, is that they do
ski, and that they are at the right
places-at the right time.

in 1906. remains a medical classic.
In it he tried. with considerable
success. to establish correlations be-
tween various maladies and climatic
changes. He prepared geography
of disease on smaller scale. but
with much the same basic idea as
that prepared more than century
later by the late DR.. Earl B. Nc
Kinley, dean of George Washington
University Medical School.
Opened Institution.
Unanue opened at Lima in 1892
an anatomical amphitheater' and
taught students along the same
lines as those which since have
been adopted by most modern med
ical schools. Had the country been
more accessible at the time its capi-
tai might well have become a world
center of medical research under
his leadership He made intensive
studies of human longevity, thus
pioneering in the field of gerontology
which, within the past few years,
has become one of the most pressing
of all lines of medical research. He
made objective observations and re-
ports on dysentery and smallpox
and on the pharmacology of tobacco
and cocoa In addition he was a
celebrated geographer. a sociologist
and statesman. In few other men
did Bolivar place such implicit con-
fidence. In his spare time he found
ed and edited one of the worlds
first medical journals which for
nearly a century was the official
organ of Peruvian science.
With Espejo and Unanue is usual
ly associated the name of the Vene-
zuelan, Jose Maria Vargas. He also
was active in politics, notable figure
in the revolution and close friend of
Bolivar. He was one OF Venezuela'S
first presidents. He excelled as a.
linguist, mathematician, philoso-
pher and a theologican. But much
more than the other members OF
the trio of physician patriots, Var
gas was a practicing doctor. He went
about the streets with his medical
kit, actually treating the sick among
the poor and devoted little atten-
ton to research. He was the first,
and perhaps the greatest, of Vene-
zuelan surgeons. He brought to
South America the best traditions of
the English medical schools where
he had been educated.
Made Sacrifice.
After these pioneers perhaps the
most romantic name in Latin-Amer-
lean medicine is that of Daniel A.
Carrion, the Peruvian medical stu
dent who perished at the age of q,

trousers, two pairs of heavy SOCKS,

things as goggles, gloves and emer-

sary to the ski soldiers parapher-
MALTA.
The ski patrols certainly will not
constitute any soft" branch OF the
service. The men must have the
skill and grace of athletes, the cour-
age of lion trainers, topped of by
a generally rugged physique.
Skiing is difficult and firing
enough, when all one has to do is
ski. The natural hazards of any
good ski terrain make the flight
over the snow a constant battle
against the possibility of falls, bro
ken bones and even-death. To-
ward the end of the day a tired
ness comes over all but the most
hardened of skiers. which is of an
intensity approXimating paralysis

weight and that of his clothing the

ing physicians. Only shortly before
the practice had been inaugurated
in the United States by Cotton
Mather. the Puritan physician
clergyman, between whom and the
Ecuadrian there is a strong resem-
blance because of their many-sided
careers. The South American In
dian, however, had none of the big
otry of the New Englander.
Both men were willing to die for
their convictions. Mather'S treat
ment of smallpox caused such op-
position among his fellow physicians
that he lost his pulpit and eventually
died poor man.
To the credit Of Ecuador, Espejo
was not prosecuted for his medical
opinions. Although unconvinced by
the claims of inoculation, in which
stand he was supported by most
doctors of his time, he was a stren-
uous advocate of isolation for small
poX victims. He was certain that
the disease was contagious and ad-
vanced a hypothesis which came
close to being the germ theory of

largely to the fact that Latin
America has been predominantly
Anglo-SaXon. 1t was from France
that the Spanish-speaking doctors
drew their learning and their in
spiration. There was little eX-
change between their countries and
the United States.
Consequently their names have
been neglected here until now. 1t
is one of the purposes of Pam
American Health Day to remedy
this neglect. They would have been
notable men in any country under
the sun-men who took all learning
as their province.
Inca Descendant.
One of the most illustrious of these
doctor philosophers was Francisco
Javier de la Cruz y ESpej0, the Ecua-
dorian, who in spite of his Spanish
name was of pure Indian blood, a
descendant of the Incas. In the
course of a busy life he became one
of his country's greatest poets and a
critic of social conditions with much
of the irony which distinguished
the works of Jonathon Swift in Eng
land. Although accepted among the
Spanish aristocracy, his Indian blood
kept his sympathies always with the
underprivileged of his own race.
Late in the 18th century Espejo
had imbibed to the full from the
current of social revolution which
was rife in the world. He came
into conflict with the Spanish colo
nial authorities. While his associates
in the liberal movement were exc
cuted, Espejo's life was spared and
he could at any time have obtained
release from prison by recanting. He
refused to do so and died in con-
finement, martyr to his convic-
tiOnS.
1t was from the blood of men like
Espejo, scholars and philosophers in
contact with world currents, that
Latin American independence even
tually came. They were the sewers
of the seed, the thinkers who pre-

no contribution to medicine, Espejo' S
fame would be secure as one of the
great men of his generation. He
was Ecuador's first journalist,
launching pitiless attacks on the
sanitation and health conditions in
Quito; the lack of hospitals and the
current quackery in medical prac-
tice. He wrote extensively on lep-
rosy, venereal disease, tuberculosis
and measles. The medical work for
which he is best remembered is
a paper on incubation for smallpox,
then rampant in the country.
Espejo's fame as a doctor is some
what dimmed by the fact that he
opposed inoculation. which had been
introduced into England from Tur-
key and was spreading around the
civilized world In the face Of stren-
uous opposition on the part Of lead

medical research and patriotism.
Ever since the days of the conquis-
tadores there had been reported in
high Andean valleys a group of mys
terious diseases which almost in
evitably killed their victims.
1t was known that anybody who
entered one OF these places probably
would contract the characteristic To-
cal malady and die. There were
about six of these, each reported in
medical literature under different
names and with different symptoms,
Carrion believed that they were one
and the same disease. that the widely
different descriptions were due to
the subjective descriptions of diff
ferent observers.
Some of the most notable work on
them had been done by. ChileanS.
During the Chile-Peru war, one OF
the bitterest and bloodiest in his
tory, he resolved to sacrifice his life
for the glory of his country and,
incidentally, for the service of man
kind. He deliberately inoculated
himself with the blood of a person

Battalion Training.
The posts which will be included
in the Army's present plan of in
struction are Fort Devens, Mass;
Fort Custer. Mich, and the 7th
Corps Area Training Center, in the
Mark Twain National Forest, Rolla,
Mo. Complete battalions will be
trained at these encampments in
skis and snoWshoes.
In addition, soldiers who already
are good skiers will be selected from
these posts. from Fort Lewis, Wash,
and from Camp Dix. N. j., for ad-
vanced training in ski warfare. Two
divisions, the 26th and the 28th,
which will be indicted into service
too late for winter training, will be
given skis and snowshoes for recre-
alton and practice

radical for his time.
EspeJo may be credited with start
ing the controversy which has ragged
ever since over the origin of syphilis.
The general theory was that it had
been introduced to Europe by some
of the sailors of Columbus. The Ecua-
dorian resented this slur on his In
dian ancestry, made an exhaustive
search of the literature, and pre-
sented a strong, but far from con-
vincing case. for the opposite hy-
pothesis-that the crew of Colum-
bus had brought the disease from
Europe. The Indian doctor remains
one of the national heroes of Ecua-
dor.
In the hall of the an-American
Union here stands a statue Of Jose
Hipolito Unanue, as one of the ma
tional heroes of Peru, friend and
close associate of Simon Bolivar, a
moving figure in the revolution, and
one of the first rulers of the republic.
Unanue was the Leonardo da Vinci
of South America. Few men born
in the New World achieved such a
many sided fame by outstanding
contributions in so many lines.
His is one of the great names in
world medicine. In the stress Of
an active political life he could de-
vote only spare minutes to research.
Even so, the world is only begin
ming to follow some of the paths
he pioneered. His Observciones

affected.
1t Is also likely that the Army
will call on some of the top ski
meisters in this country who once
taught the armies of Europe. Most
of them too old for soldering, they
are nevertheless more than qualified
to instruct.
Among this band are Otto
Schniebs, at Lake Placid, who
helped organize the first German
battalion in the last war; Hannes
Schneider and Benno Rybizka, both
at North Conway, N. H., who helped
instruct the Japanese and French
forces. respectively. and Walter
Prayer. at Dartmouth, who num-

the Venezuelan, Rafael Rangel.
Born in mountain village ana
with a scanty education obtained
from the local priest. he walked to
Caracas, penniless, to seek an edu-
cation. Finally he graduated from
the national university. where his
work was so brilliant that he OBJ
tained a scholarship to work in the
Pasteur Institute. There his devo-
ton to work, disregard for rest and
insufficient meals brought on an
attack of tuberculosis. which forced
him to return to his native noun
tainS.
Back in Caracas, after apparent
recovery. he carried out some of
the most brilliant researches aSso-
ciated with Latin American medi-
cine. His major problem was that
of hookworm. He studied, even
before the subject had been taken
up in North America, the life cycle
of this parasite. He made brilliant
contributions to the subject of ma
laria and skim invading larvae.
Rangel was building up a world
reputation and promised to be-
come one of the leading figures in
modern medical research. But his
intensive labors had undermined
both his health and his mind. In
moment Of dependency he put
bullet through his brain.
Another Leonardo-like figure in
South American medicine was the
Guatemalan, Jose Flores. In 1882
he wrote the first medical books
printed in Central America In 1880
he was championing smallpox in
incubation in the face of such
authorities as Espejo and most Of
the conservative medical men of
Europe
Flores was one of the first to take
up the problem of flight and de-
signed a workable balloon. Whether
he actually made this balloon is
unknown. Almost single-handed,
against bitter opposition, he fought
epidemics with the weapons of isola-
ton and sanitation. He was one
of the first men in the world to
approach the study of electricity
from the scientific viewpoint.
The Guatemalan had his own
"crank" ideas. One of these in
volved the use of lizards to treat
leprosy and cancer of the skin. In
1896 he went to Europe to lecture
before the leading medical schools
on this theory. While there he wit
messed the earliest electrical expert
ments of Glavani at the University
of Bologna and became so en-
tranced by the possibilities that he
devoted the rest of his life to the
subject. He made demonstration of
the electrical phenomena before the
University of Paris.

5000 pairs of snowshoeS, plus a
quantity of packboards and fleece
lined sleeping bags, have been sent
to Alaska alone, where the men
are mainly based at Chilkoot Bar
racks, Fairbanks, and Anchorage.
1t is also said that the accent in
Alaska is on snoWshoes, rather than
skis. because the men could be more
quickly trained in the use of the
former.
The National Ski Association has
been working with the Army on its
training plans and will probably
