in Army history On the battlefield
medical results have been produced
which are little short of miraculous
We have every confidence that, no
matter what the burden imposed
on the medical service may be, the
American doctor in this war will
maintain the splendid record so far
established"
With all due credit to the re-
markable results obtained by the
use of sulfa drugs to prevent intec-
tions in serious wounds, and the
beneficial effect Of human plasma i'll
war surgery, ranking officers of the
Army'S Medical Department regard
as equally important the vital con-
tribution made by the system of
sorting and evacuating the wounded
from the battle front.
Surg. Gen. Magee points out that
the system has functioned efficiently
in every theater of action since Pearl
Harbor. Without it, he said, neither
sulfanilamide, plasma, nor surgical
skill could have saved the lives of
the wounded.
The foremost thought of the medi-
cal officer in the field in this war,
after first aid has been given the
wounded soldier, is TO get him back
as quickly as possible to a hospital
at the rear where he will have a
real opportunity for full recovery.
With every combat force as it
moves forward against the enemy
line go physicians and men of the
Medical Corps. 1t is their iob to

Ki|day Bill 10 Defer
F athers Will Be Given
New Study Tuesday
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

The side-tracked Kilday bill
which would make it mandatory
for draft boards to call all single
men and married men without
children, throughout a State
before calling any fathers, may
be revived when the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee meets
Tuesday to consider the father
draft issue.
The House passed the kilday bill
in April, but it was tabled in the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
after Selective Service and Army
officials contended it would be i'm
possible to administer in such IRON
clad terms. They argued that, with
young men becoming 18 every day,
draft board could never be sure
every single man and nonfather in
the State had been taken.
Hershey's Testimony.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey. di-
rector of selective service, testified
recently that, even without passage
of the legislation by Congress, the
draft system has tried during the
last year to call men in the order
listed in the Kilday bill, ito the best
of its administrative ability"
Chairman May of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee said yester-
day, however, his committee may
consider tacking the Kilday bill on
to the Senate's new bill, which seek
to tighten up on occupational defer
ments without forbidding the induc-
ton of fathers.
Representative Kilday, Democrat,
of Texas, author of the earlier meas
ure, said there has been some pre-
liminary discussion of reviving his
proposal, and if he finds substantial
sentiment for that step in the COM
mittee, he will propose it.
Occupational Provision.
Aside from its effect on the call
ing of fathers, the Kilday bill would
strike a blow at the present policy
of listing nondeferrable activities,
in which workers of military age
become subject to immediate induc-
ton. The Kilday bill contains a
provision that no individuals shall
be called for military service be
cause of their occupations.
The bill the Senate passed
Wednesday, as a substitute for the
Wheeler ban on the drafting of
fathers, already contains direction
to selective service officials to call
other categories ahead of fathers,
but only Ito the fullest extent de-
termined by the director of selec-
tive service to be administratively
practicable" With this latter quail
fcation, 1t is not as inf1eXible as the
Kilday bill would be.

diate relief from pain.
From the battalion aid station,
the wounded man is evacuated as
quickly as possible by ambulance
jeep or litter to a nearby collecting
station. Here he is classified as to
type Of injury and placed in the
section for surgery or treatment as
indicated by previous examination.
Next, the wounded man is removed
farther back behind the lines to a
clearing station where he is given
further treatment If required, and
data relative to the seriousness OF
his wound Is tabulated.
Afterward the wounded soldier
may be moved by jeep, bus or am
bulance to an evacuation hospital
and placed in a waiting ambulance
plane to be sped quickly and COM
fortably to a hospital far removed
from the battle front.

BY JAMES E. CHM.

To preserve man alive in the
midst of chances and hoStilitieS Is
as great miracle as to create him.
Those words were written back in
the 18th century by noted English
minister, the Rev. Jeremy Taylor
Today, against the background of
hard, grim war. doctors and nurses
in Americas armed services are per-
forming that miracle on the far
scattered battle fronts and in can
tonments and hospitals half circling
the globe.
In the hot, steaming jungles of
the South Pacific, on the plains
of Italy, in the air above Europe
our soldiers have the benefits
of the prompt and efficient action
of the most highly skilled and we'll
organized medical organization in
the world-the Army Medical Corps.
AS a result, the death rate among
the wounded SO far has been lower
than in any previous war. No
longer do abdominal wounds, burns,
shock and shrapnel mean death
Wounds don't usually become in
fected. Skilled surgeons save shat
tered arms. legs, faces and lives
The miracle has been made pos
sible not only by surgery and the
use Of blood plasma and the new
sulfa drugs, but also by the i'm
proved and quick methods of evacu-
ating the injured from the battle
field.
394 of 400 Burned Are Saved.
When 400 soldiers were badly
burned by flaming oil in North
African operations and brought into
a field hospital, the use Of BLOOD
plasma to reduce shock that ordi.
narily would have proved fatal
saved the lives of all but six.
In the fighting in the Solomons
less than l per cent Of the men in.
iured in battle died of their wounds
Equally impressive have been the
reports from all the fighting zone'
on the results Of sulfanilamide.
Far greater miracles of healing
are looked for through the use O.

Aside from protecting soldiers

the problems Of mass warfare.
IF great losses are inflicted by
infectious diseases" said Maj. Gen
James c. Magee, surgeon general OF
the Army, IAN army may suffer q
decisive defeat and nation be lost
before the battle line Is reached
Military strategy may have to yield
before the supreme threat OF
disease"
The armed forces of the United
States, wherever they may be, are
not likely, however, to be threatened
or handicapped by disease epi-
denies.
Results Justify Effort.
THE impact Of the war has con-
verted medico- military theory into
practice. plans into operation and
surmise into experience" said Gen
Magee. The results, both in the
home cantonments and on the bat
tlefleld. have justified the immense
expenditure of effort and the Ions

modified established one of the
best health records of all time and
