Dr. Samuel A. White of the Chemical Warfare Service asserted that chemical warfare is more humane than bullet warfare. He exclaimed: "From actual past experience, I know that [my] son's (and your son's) chance of surviving, and of surviving without mutilation or lasting disability, would be increased many fold, if the war were to be fought with chemicals."
To prepare doctors for such wartime troubles, 19 U. S. medical schools last month re-established Reserve Officer Training Corps units. Next year 31 medical schools expect to follow suit. When commissioned in the Army a doctor gets $2,000 a year as a first lieutenant, $2,640 as a captain, $3,600 as a major, $4,000 as a lieutenant colonel. In the Navy Medical Corps a lieutenant earns $2,000 a year, a lieutenant commander $2,400, a commander $3,000, a captain $3,500.
