As a man became fit for duty, his disposition became a question. It wasapparent that he could not simply be marked duty, but camps of concentration must be estab-lished, which was done and all duty cases with records delivered there. The system was entirelysatisfactory. With the exception of elevators, these hotels proved very satisfactory as hospitals. Theyhad a good kitchen, dining rooms, offices, etc., and at least one large room that served well as anoperating pavilion. They were inadequately supplied with baths, so showers were installed. Allpatients received a bath and clean clothing before being assigned to a bed. Four of the hospitalswere designated as surgical, carrying 20 operating tables and one was designated as Medicaland cared for all medical and gassed cases. This system worked exceedingly well.
