[6], xi,[1], 3-40, [2]8 pages. Illustrations. Large, 4 panel fold-out group photo between pages vi and vii. Foreword by Franklin H. Martin. Roster. Some minor soiling inside boards and flyleaves. Some wear and edge rubbing to cover and edges. Inscribed by the author. From an article in JAMA from 1908--After a struggle of four years on the part of the Surgeon General of the Army, backed by the medical profession, Congress at its last session was induced to give much needed relief to the Army Medical Corps, by an Act, approved last April, entitled "A bill to increase the efficiency of the Medical Department of the Army." Conditions in the Army prior to this were deplorable, so far as the organization of the Medical Department was concerned, as apparently no thought had been given to requirements for war. In fact, officers were far too few to perform the ordinary duties of peace times. To be capable of ready expansion in war time. the act authorized the Medical Reserve Corps, a peacetime pool of trained civilian physicians. This represented the first United States Army volunteer reserve and proved the forerunner for the entire Army Reserve system. The Medical Reserve Corps had grown to 1,757 officers, plus 146 on active duty, compared to 443 Regular Army medical officers at the time. By 30 June 1917, less than three months after the declaration of war, this had grown to 9,223 officers in the Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Officers' Reserve Corps. More

Georges Benjamin Clemenceau (28 September 1841 – 24 November 1929) was a French politician, physician, and journalist who was Prime Minister of France during the First World War. He played a central role in the politics of the French Third Republic. Clemenceau was first Prime Minister from 1906 to 1909, and then again from 1917 to 1920. His goals were a total victory over the German Empire and the restitution of Alsace-Lorraine to France. He was one of the principal architects of the Treaty of Versailles at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. He took a harsh position against defeated Germany and won agreement on Germany's payment of large sums for reparations. The Treaty of Versailles between Germany and the Allied Powers to conclude the conflict was signed in the Palace of Versailles, but the deliberations on which it was based were conducted in Paris, hence the name given to the meeting of the victorious heads of state that produced the treaties signed: the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. United States president Woodrow Wilson received an enthusiastic welcome in France. His Fourteen Points and the concept of a League of Nations had made a big impact on the war-weary French. Clemenceau realized that he was a man of principle and conscience. Since the conference was being held in France, Clemenceau would be the most appropriate president. He also spoke both English and French, the official languages of the conference. More
