The nineteenth annual regatta Of the Ca

without difficulty. In the eight-oar race
the Argonauts led all the way and finished
two lengths in front of the Vespers of
Philadelphia, their only competitors.
The second and closing day of the regat-

ter were against the oarsmen, although
conditions We're better than on the open

the senior singles in impressive style, with
Goldman second and Marsh third. Cresser
of the Vespers gave it up after going a
mile and fouling Marsh. The Argonauts
of Toronto captured the senior fours
easily. Rough water did not bother them
to the same extent as it did the foreign
crews. The Pennsylvania Barge Club was
second, with the Dons third. The Vespers
were a bad fourth and the Ecorse fifth

Both He and Moran Are Anxious for

world, and A. c. Moran, the local rider. will
be held this evening at the track Of the
Park Bicycle Club on the Conduit road.
The event has been twice postponed on ac-
count of rain, and should the weather clear
up before dark this evening the race will
surely be held. Both men are anxious for
the contest to come off, and will be ready
FOR fine ra ,e when the event does take
place.
Michael is reported as having said that
ne would remain in this city and race Nor
an, If he had to stay for a full week The
fact that his match race has been twice
postponed, not only in this city, but in Bal
timore as well, exasperates him. His race
Saturday afternoon at the Manhattan
Beach track with Eddie McDuffee has been
declared off, and this will permit him to
stay In this city and wait. The only fear
of the mdget is that his pacing crews
might get out of riding condition by the
lack of training. The Welsh midget and his
pacemakers arrived in town this morning
on an early train. The pacing machines
and crews were taken out to the track and
despite the showery condition of the wealth
er managed to get a good deal of practice
riding.
The rain checks for the Monday night
race will be accepted at the door, but only
those will be given reserved seats who
produce the coupons. All other grandstand
checks will eLtitle the holders to general
admission seats only, located in the rear
of the stand. Should the weather clear
up 1t is expected that crowd of considera-
bly, over 5000 persons will be present, the
attendance Monday night being nearly
1900.

THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
Two Points In Surgeon Generals Re-
port Criticised.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t may seem superfiuous to further add to
the controversy now raging as to the
competency or incompetency of the
medical department of the army, but 1
would like to call attention to one or two
points that the surgeon general of the
army and his defenders seemed to have
overlooked in their publications Great
stress is laid by them on their inability to
get their supplies landed
Now, II occurs to the lay mind land vet
hesitate to take Issue with the ex-cathedra
statements of physicians, which surely
ought TO impress US laymen into siIence)
that inasmuch as the supplies of the med
ical department were so vitally important
there ought to have been no chances taken
as ID their transportation or disembarka-
ton They should have been at their des-
undtion ahead of time, sent on a special
transport whose sole duty was to take
them and land them. What is every ones
business is no ones business is a rule that
scarcely ever fails TO work
II the medical department had thus pro-
Nided Tor transportation ii would seem that
by careful Encouragement with the quar-
termaster's department prompt landing
might have been accomplished also The
fact stands that the medical department
failing at this point the Red Cross was able
to get its supplies off and save the medical
department from entire and lamentabIe
failure
And yet in spite of this Surgeon General
Sternberg said in an interview in New York
given out in various papers on July 81
when asked his view of the work of the
Red Cross at the front: 'I have opposed
1t from the first, and oppose it now
But. Srlnting the plea of the medical de-
partment that 1t was impossible to land its
supplies. was it ever impossible to land
men?
George kennon, in the Outlook of July
80, tells graphically the story of those ter
ribie hours after the battle of Santiago
when the medical department of the arny
struggled through its awful task with a
force OF five surgeons and about twenty
stewards and attendants, when there
SHOULD have been force of fifty surgeons
and at least two hundred stewards and at
tendants-"
l would like to ask who designated the
number of surgeons and hospitals to be at
the front Surely here is a point where re-
sponsioility can be fixed. If five surgeons
were ordered where ten times as man.
snould nave been sent, somebody miscalcu-
lated extraordinarily, and at time when
mlscalculation meant suffering to hundreds
and death-to how many who shall say?
Inc necessary surgeons and attendants
on the field. even hampered by the Iac6 of
supplies, would have been able to do much
10 mitigate the terrible conditions O. that
heartrending time.
1 repeat: Was 1t ever impossible to land
men?
