189 car over a gangway and two other orderlies helped to fit the handles of the cot in the proper rings attached to the ropes. These cots were about two feet in width, which made it possible to accommodate twelve in a car, while leaving a passage seven feet wide across the car from one door to another. The cots were placed in two tiers, three in one row, that is, six on each side of the main passage. A freight train consisting of thirty-three cars was calculated to hold 896 cases. In the middle of the train there was a set of cars com- prising the kitchen, two supply cars, and one third-class car for the staff. The cost of a train completely equipped was calculated at 14,000 rubles, making 35 rubles per cot. The staff was to consist of two doctors, three junior medical officers, six trained nurses, a super- intendent, thirty-four orderlies, two cooks, and the kitchen assist- ant. The total salaries of the staff were reckoned at 1,685 rubles per month. Each car was to have its own orderly, and one of them was to act as a senior in charge of the others. Each nurse had five to six cars to look after, while each junior medical officer was to attend to ten or eleven cars. As for the doctors, the two divided the train between themselves. Particular attention was to be paid to the feeding of the sick and wounded. The food allowance of the staff was computed on the following basis: the higher staff, numbering twelve, at one ruble a day, and the lower, numbering thirty-seven, at 50 copecks, which made a total of 915 rubles per month. The cost of maintenance of the sick and wounded, calculated at the rate of 50 copecks, on a basis of fifteen days a month per patient, was estimated at 2,970 rubles. All other expenditure, such as that for fuel, light, management, medical supplies, dressing material, equip- ment, etc., was put at 1,430 rubles. The total cost of maintaining a hospital train therefore amounted to 7.000 rubles a month, or 17 to 18 rubles per cot. The findings of the committee were reported to the Central Com- mittee of the Union, estimates were scrutinized, and experiments were carried out with the installation of cots in fast trains between Moscow and Podolsk. The Central Committee then approved the recommendations, proceeded to organize a special hospital train de- partment and gave orders to form at once ten such trains for evacua- tions in the interior of the country. Workshops were opened at Mos- cow to supply the necessary equipment, and the department next WORK IN THE ARMY
