H o w oft in m y dream I go back t° the day W hen I stood at our old wooden gate,

A n d started to school in full battle array.W ell armed with a primer and slate;

A n d as the latch fell, I thought myself free A n d gloried, I fear, on the sly,

T ill I heard a kmd voice, that whispered to me,“B e a good boy! Good-by!**

A G O O D B O Y ! G O O D *

“Be a good boy! Good-by!** it seems They have followed me all these days;

They have given a form to my youthful dreams A n d scattered my foolish fears;

They have stayed my feet on many a brink, Unseen by a blinded eye.

For just in time, I would pause and think’“Be a good boy! Good-by!**

— 39—

Y !

Oh, brother of mine, in the battle of life,Just starting or nearing its close.

This motto aloft, in the midst of the strife. W ill conquer wherever it goes!

Mistakes you will make, for each of us errs. But, brother, just honestly try

To accomplish your best, in whatever occurs, “B e a good boy! Good-by!**

L ieu tenan t

Ye may talk about the A rm y and all its toils and cares.The tribulations visited upon us everywheres,The early risin all of us are now compelled to do.A n d “Taps'* that puts us in our beds before our work is through Shure these things may annoy us, as nothin's done before.But it hurts me bones whin Cineral Jones Shouts “W an! Tw o! Three! Four! ^

I can stand three hours of lecture without a single groan,I can hark to talks on soldiers until the cows come home.The Zone of the Interior has terrors none for me.A n d Combat Trains and First A id Packs are plain as A . B . C .;But I trimble in me puttees whin I hear a distant roar.A nd Cineral Jones turns on me with His “W an! T w o! Three! Four!"

—41 —

Jones took these em bryo officers in hand and by intensive drill w h ipped them into v ery creditable shape in a fortnight, so th a t on the form al opening of the cam p on June 16th, Colonel Page had a w ell d rilled organization of ab o u t one hundred m en as a nucleus fo r his com pany form ation.

H e'd come upon ye suddint-like while marchin in the line,W id yer chin stuck up and chist thrown out and Munsons steppin

fine.A n d he'd fire a verbal volley that would shatter anny man,Shure he cud take the biscuit when he started in to pan.But whin he had ye goin* and ye wanted to get sore H e'd smile and tell ye, “Very good!**“N ow ! W an! Two! Three! Four!'*

I f I ever reach the river where they stopped Ould Man Von Kluck, A nd a German bullet gits me and I lose me Irish luck.I ’ll remimber Jones' orders and the paces we wint through.A n d the grillin' and the drillin’ an* the weeds an* mud an dew; But I ’ll ask no better blessin* beneath the cannon's roar Than a kindly hand and last command O f “W an! Tw o! Three! Four!'*

is the slogan at th e fron t fo r the trea tm en t o f the w ounded . T o facilita te these essentials in the p resen t w ar, o rders from the Sur­geon G eneral, d a te d Ju ly 5, 1917, d irec ted the C om m anding O fficer a t F o rt O g le tho rpe to p roceed as soon as prac ticab le to organize an evacuation hospital. O ne w eek later, u n d er Special O rd e r No. 47, issued b y C olonel Page, the hos­p ita l cam e into being.

F o r years evacuation hospitals have existed on p ap er, b u t th is is the first tim e one has ev er been fo rm ed in the U n ited S ta tes A rm y. M uch u ncerta in ty existed concern ing its duties an d position a t the front.

T hese units have been know n in the British A rm y in th e p re s­en t w ar as casualty clearing sta­tions. T h e U nited S ta tes in p la n ­ning its hosp ita l cam paign , con­sidered the w ork o f these organizations o f such im portance th a t it d ec id ed to m obilize tw o evacuation hospita ls fo r each division.

T hese units will b e loca ted betw een the field an d base h o s­pitals, an d will be on the line o f com m unication b eh in d the first line o f advance . W h en ev er possib le the evacuation hospitals will be q u arte red in tow ns an d villages, w here su itab le bu ild ings m ay be found . H ere tem p o ra ry care will be tak en o f p a tien ts so severely w ounded th a t the ir rem oval to the base is d eem ed adv isab le , and

trea tm en t will b e given to those w hose sp eed y recovery is ex­pected , o r those w ho can n o t stan d tran sp o rta tio n to the rear.

W h en ev er possible, the evacuation hosp ita ls will be situated near a ra ilro ad term inus, an d in such cases, if in rural districts, will be q u arte red in tents. In connection w ith b a ttle service, th e ir func­tion is sim ilar to th a t of field hospitals, w hich they supp lem en t o r relieve. T hey a re m ore e lab o ra te ly fitted ou t th an field hospitals, including equ ipm ent fo r th ree such field units. C onsequently , w hen the field hosp ita ls advance, all m ate ria ls an d supplies in use w ith pa tien ts m ay b e left w ith them , an d th e field hosp ita l equipm ent co m p le ted from th e supplies b ro u g h t b y the evacuation hospital. Each evacuation hospita l will b e equ ipped to care for 432 patien ts.

T h e personnel of an evacuation hosp ita l is com posed o f sixteen m edical officers, including a lieu tenan t colonel in com m and , a m ajo r w ho is th e op era tin g surgeon, tw o assistan t opera ting sur­geons, an d a d ju ta n t an d a q uarterm aster. T h ere are 28 non-com - m isioned officers, eight o f w hom are sergeants first class, ten acting cooks a n d 8 4 8 privates, of w h o m 98 a re w ard a tten d an ts .

P ro b ab ly the psychological effect of the w o rd “ first” has been the ch ief fac to r in giving the first evacuation hosp ita l its co m m en d ­able esprit de corps. T h e priv ilege o f belonging to the first unit o f its »kind ever estab lished b y the G overnm ent, has stirred b o th officers an d m en to p u t fo rth the ir best efforts, an d has m ad e them esthusiastic on d rill g round an d in lecture room . A d e te rm ina tion to b eco m e efficient in the sho rtest possible tim e has been n o tice­able since the estab lishm ent o f the com pany.

T h e enlisted m en w ere carefu lly selected from the F irst, S econd an d T h ird C om panies of R ecru it C am p on Ju ly 1 2. A s a result the -evacuation hospita l unit is a well balanced organ iza tion w ith a personnel above the average intelligence.

S A N I T A R Y C O M P A N Y No. 1A N IT A R Y C O M PA N Y No. 1, th e first institu tion of

its k ind in the U nited S ta tes A rm y, w as conceived an d organized b y C olonel H en ry Page, him self an expert sanitarian. In creating this organization , C olonel Page expressed hope th a t it w ould p rove so efficient as to be­

com e recognized as an indispensib le p a r t o f each arm y division. H e w as ab ly assisted in its d ev e lo p m en t b y M ajo r O w en, also a

.specialist in san ita tion , and, like his chief, exact to the p o in t of precision, ye t ever read y to a id and fo rb ea r w ith those less expe­rienced.

T h e ob jec t of the San itary C om pany is to send every so ld ier to the firing line a m ilita ry effective, free from disease. *

T h e specific du ties of th e com pany a re : 1. T he con tro l ofth e insect pests b y killing the living as m uch as possible, b u t espe­cially destroy ing all b reed in g places such as stag n an t pools, refuse o f all kinds, m anure, etc. 2. P ro v id ing m eans o f disposing of all k itchen an d to ile t w aste. 3. P rov id ing adequate , m ethods o f d ra in ­age fo r heavy rainfall, „ river, creek a n d spring overflow . 4. P er­sonal hygiene in cleanliness, m odes of living an d various innocula- tions.

A n A rm y w ith Flies in the C am p, m eans an A rm y w ith Failures in the F ield . No m a tte r how m uch m oney the G o v ern m en t spends fo r food, n o r how carefu lly it is p rep ared , if it is served a fte r co n ­tam ina tion by the fly, it is no b e tte r th an poison. A s the fly is d angerous b y day," so the hours o f dark n ess b rin g the m osquito , an equal danger, an d no b o d y o f tro o p s can b e m ain ta ined a t an effi­cient s tan d ard , w hile flies an d m osquitoes a re p e rm itted to exist in large num bers, in the ir ne ighborhood . W e h av e been tau g h t the suprem e im portance o f san ita tion in th is regard , b y th e frightful experience o f th e Spanish W ar, w hen disease raged unchecked th ro u g h o u t our arm y.

T h e San itary C orps follow s us d ay an d night, in p riv a te an d in public. In cities, san itary defec ts are rem ed ied an d co v ered by

statu tes and laws, so tha t it is easier for p eop le to be clean th an not, b u t in cam p life, and in the field, conditions of living a re prim ­itive, an d w ith m asses of m en gathered together, there is im perative need fo r com peten t sanatarians.

W hen th e national crisis cam e th ree m onths ago, tro o p s w ere again gath ered a t C hickam auga P ark , the scene of the trag ed y of *98. T h e task of p reventing the recurrence o f this trag ed y w as en tru sted to C olonel Page, O rganizer an d C o m m an d an t o f the M edical T rain ing Cam p, an d he has successfully m et all difficulties. H e believes th a t instead of en trusting cam p san ita tion to un tra ined m en an d perm itting them to m aster its principles, there should be a b o d y o f experts, schooled in the a rt of p ractical sanitation, to teach this a r t an d a t the sam e tim e to co rrec t existing san itary defects. T hus o ld m istakes m ight be avo ided , and new prob lem s solved.

Beside the instruction fo r the officers, the enlisted m en of the com pany a re given special train ing in. d idactic an d prac tica l san ita­tion, so th a t th ey m ay becom e non-com m issioned officers as soon as the ir ability is dem onstra ted .

In th e w o rd s of the founder, “T h e San itary C orps is th e b o d y ­guard o f the A rm y, an d every m an, w om an or child in o r connected w ith th e A rm y ; an d the scope of its duties is limitless.**
