FIRST ON RECORD.
Woman Appointed Acting Assistant


Woman Appointed Acting Assistant
Army Surgeon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Today, for
the first time in the history Of the
American army, a woman was appoint
ed member Of the medical staff. DR..
Anita Newcomb MCGEE, wife of Presi-
dent w. j. MCGEE, of this city. and
daughter of DR.. Simon Newcomb, for
merly of the naval observatory, was
regularly sworn in as an acting assis-
t&nt surgeon. This, according to Sec
rotary Alger's order, would entitle her
to the uniform of a second lieutenant
without designation OF rank. It Is not
likely, however, that DR.. MCGEE will
avail herself Of this privilege. The ap-
pointment, while a novelty from a
technical standpoint, is not the begin
ming Of DR.. McGee's service with the
war department. Throughout the war
she has been in charge Of the selection
of the women nurses and of the 700 now
in the field, most have passed muster
at her hands. Assistant Surgeon Nc
Gee goes to New York tonight to select
thirty graduate nurses for services in
Porto Rico.
DR.. MCGEE has regularly practiced
her profession in Washington for some
years end Is we'll known in medical
circles throughout this country, have
contributed several papers to the
American Association for the Advance
ment Of Science and to other scientific
organizations.

PAYMENT OF WAR CLAIMS.
Misapprehension as to How the

Misrepresentation as to How the
Claimant Should Proceed.
WASHINGTON Aug. 2s-Already
several of the states have filed with the
secretary of the treasury claims for
reimbursement Of expenditures growing
out Of the war. Auditor Brown, Of the
treasury department, in speaking Of
these claims, says:
There seems to be a misapprehen-
sion on the part of some of the claim
ants. Creditors cannot present their
accounts direct to the war department.
The law provides that all accounts
must be paid by the states and the gen.
eral government will reimburse the
states. The principal delay likely to
be occasioned in the settlement Of the
claims arises from the failure in some
cases to properly receipt the bills and
have them approved by the governor.
When the vouchers are presented In
proper shape this Office will pass upon
them promptly"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-There is
still possibility OF a change in The
personnel of the American membership
of the peace commission. Up to this
moment 1t is not yet definitely and alb
solutely known whether Justice White
will accept the appointment rendered
him, and efforts are making by the
president to learn his intentions In the
matter. Mr.. Macarthur, the assistant
secretary of the American commission,
is now in New York making arrange
ments for the sailing Of the commits
sioners on Sept. II, SO that very little
time intervenes for completing the COM
mission, in the event that Justice White
declines. It is suggested that Sena-

considered to fill the vacancy that
would so result.

After the drills yesterday a decided
~ different tone was noticeable in the
conversation of the boys on the impor-
tant subject Of mastering out. Nearly
all were more inclined to look upon
the bright side of a soldiers life, and
garrison duty did not appear nearly
so disagreeable. With little more
work to take their minds off of them
selves all dissatisfaction will be
gone. For nearly month the boys
have been penned up in the narrow
confines Of a camp, with nothing to do
and nothing to discuss but their woes
and tribulations. They would have
been a wonderful set of fellows, if the
majority of them had not decided that
home was the only place for them.

the companies in line was officially
promulgated yesterday. The compa-
mics are arranged in the same order
in the camp, beginning with Company

known as General Orders No. e.
