a number of officers. ninety-one discharg-

Miss Schaefer, a Red Cross nurse, who
went from Honolulu TO Manila, arriving
there Sept. 26 returned here, She makes
startling charges as to the way United
States soldiers are taken care of in Ma

statement for publication:

there IS before them nothing but the sim

with the probability of a relapse, and the
old WEAKNESS of despair TO be suffered
again. No wonder there are six or seven

is never empty.
"And outside the hospital and even in
