FIGHTING UNIT
OF 0. S. ARMY
WASHINGTON, May 20—Persons
accustomed to think of the medical
corps of the army as a non-combatant
unit will be astonished by suggestions
prepared for the conduct of military
surgeons newly arrived in the war
zone. A bulletin from the office of
the surgeon general sums up the tech
nical military knowledge which an
army surgeon must have to do his
duty competently, and incidentally
shows the exposure to which he is
subject.
“As soon as the battaliau or regi
mental surgeon arrives in a new sec
tor and has supervised the install
ment of his material,” the bulletin
says, “he should rapidly gain an in
timate personal knowledge of the first
line trenches, dugouts, listening posts,
evacuation trenches and means of
transportation to the rear. This
knowledge should be gained on the
J day of arrival, if possible, because
t enemy surprise attacks are frequently
coincident with the arrival of troops
in a new sector. It should be ac
quired through day and night inspec
tion in order that he may be able to
describe the topography of the ter
rain to his personnel. The. latter
should also be given an early oppor
tunity of familiarizing themselves
with the system of trenches
uation routes, so that when called
upon to pick up wounded, at least one
man of each squad is familiar with
the general contour and direction of
the trenches.
“The surgeon should also acquaint
himself, through his commanding of
ficer, with the location of the enemy
trenches, batteries, trench mortars
and mitrailleuse redoubts, together
with the ‘habits’ of the enemy in that
particular sector. By ‘habits’ is
meant the routine firing of the day
or night during periods of normal ac
tivity. Certain open spaces, cross
roads, gulleys, etc., are regularly un
der fire at certain hours of the day
or night, and the sanitary personnel
must learn to avoid these places dur
ing these periods.
“In the preparation of an attack the
battalion and regimental surgeons are
invariably apprised of the probable
objectives to be attained. They must
study the general topography of the
country to be traversed, its enemy
trenches, dugouls and aid stations, in
order to be able to utilize them dur
ing the engagement.
• “The battalian surgeon must often,
perhaps usually, extemporize the first
aid station within enemy lines. As
soon as he has done this he must in
dicate to his personnel the proper
evacuation routes for the wounded.
When an advance is contemplated or
a severe attack is being repulsed, and
reserve stretcher bearers are being
sent to the aid stations, the surgeon
should immediately inspect the new
personnel, and especially see to it
that the men understand the use of
gas masks and portable oxygen tanks,
“At no time must the surgeon lose
sight of the fact that he must try to
keep his personnel intact. In trench
warfare, especially, there are innu
merable opportunities for useless
wastage of personnel. Lack of famil
iarity with the terrain, an unguarded
raising of the head, etc., will often
suffice to reduco the personnel of the
medical corps."

Copenhagen, May 20.—At the
annual meeting of the East Asiatic
Company the President said the com

twenty-one new big motor-ships.
ROME, May 20.—’’Get • together

of Bohemians, Rumanians, Serbians
and other Slavs held here recently
Captain Laguardia, on his way tt
the Italian- front, remained in Roms

by speaking in the Serbian language
In the presence of Italian senators

said that the American people were
unfamiliar with the intricate politics
of the Balkan states, which were st
complicated, he added, that only ;

"Make it simple,” he went on. “A1

SOCIALISTS TO STRIKE
IE PRICE OF MILK IS RAISED
BERNE, May 20.—Milk at 7 cents
a quart is so dear in Switzerland that
the country has been talking about
little else tor months past, and a gen
eral strike is threatened if any in
crease is attempted.
Since last summer the state has
been paying the cost of the last in
crease. Now the farmers insist on a
further increase to about 9 cents a
quart, and it is doubtful whether the
state treasury can afford the expense.
The Socialists say they will call a
general strike if the price to con
sumers is raised. The milk producers
say they will stop all supplies unless
they are allowed to charge more.
