And in this service the medical debarka- tian corps, suddealy thrust into the foreground of publicity by the col- lapse of the Central Powers, plays an important and picturesque part. The end of the war found the port medical authorities prepared to shoulder the heavy burden laid upon them. During 19 months of Ameri- can patricipation in the conflict they had maintained an embarkatian hos. pital service, treating the compara- tively rare cases of illness amoag troops ready to go overseas. When American forces entered the trench- groups of wounded, evacu- ated from hospitals in Framee, began to filter through the service on this side of the Atlantic. With this ex- perience accentuated by the lessons of the Allied governments in repa- triating thelr wounded, the debarka- tion s em was t in readiness the reception of injured men at rate of 10,000 to 15,000 a month. During the war and a five weeks' period following the ning of the armistice, approximately 11,500 wounded had been received at New York and 4.500 at Newport New: And the autharities were prepared, on official advices from Washington to handle 50,000 cases in the next four months.
