ficant with what seeming cunning the

Now is the time to prove the boosted
a in sanitation, medicine and
surgery. Heretofore far more soldiers
have been lost and disabled by disease
than by bullets. This waste of life
in these times should be prevented to a
great extent. Rapid lines of commune
cation with an army are so numerous
that hospitals can be placed at health
full locations n all surroundings made
favorable. AS far as the 1885, 900 vol
unteers are concerned they are not
likely to go to Cuba very soon. Their
camp should be models in every re-
spect. The diseases to which soldiers
are most subject are we'll understood.
and medical stats will be expected to
show that their profession has made
rapid progress since the civil war. Sur
gerry has certainly taken a bound for
ward in it's antiseptic discoveries. Bull
lets can be exactly located by the x
ray, n guessing in that particular
has given place to certainty. But the
doctor and sanitarian can do more for
an army than the surgeon. Every sick
man reduces the effective fighting force,
and it abundantly pays a nation in
prosecuting a war to give the closest
attention to the health Of the troops

in the morning, may AVE ruined him.
Private John C. HEIGHT Of company C
aroused Colonel Grants anger by a
request for leave to go home to visit
his mother, who, he said, vas dying. He
approached Colonel Grant in person,
with his sister.
Onel Grant said. DO O know that I
have a margin of only foul men in this

He sent for Captain Avery Of company
C. When he arrived Colonel Grant said:
Take this man to his company, strip
him of his uniform and send him out
of the camp in disgrace. l intend to
make an example of him."
AS HEIGHT left I asked Colonel Grant
what caused his sudden harshness.
1.-The camp is overrun with women

answered.. II am going to stop it,"
] found among the men entire SYM
pathy with HEIGHT. Not a member of
the drum corps would have consented
to beat a note for his disgrace and Cap
tain Avery, though he did not say so
himself, would have left the carrying
out of the order to Colonel Grant. The
captain sent HEIGHTS sister to Brooklyn
for his clothes and left him in his ent
during the mastering ceremony.
Officers of high rank, who naturally
refused to criticise Colonel Grants ac-
ton, said they knew of no section of
the military code authorizing such
measures.
When the men returned from the
mastering Captain Avery had a talk
with Colonel Grant and HEIGHT was al
lowed to go home in peace. Miss HEIGHT
said to me as she left hat she had
never been so heartlessly treated in
her life. She said she had tried several
times to explain mattres to Colonel
Grant, but he waved her aside without
giving her an opportunity to say a
word.
