the presence of the Spanish torpedo

caught the enthusiasm from their eld-

these loud praises. His reply was that

OF course / cannot say how many are
undergoing treatment, but patients are
not supposed to remain in the hospital
after they have ceased TO need the spe-
cial care which the hospital is designed
to give. In both the Second and Third
Division hospitals the percentage of pa
tients ranked as typhoids is very large
The First Division hospital has less than
200 cases and a smaller percentage of
typhoids, but all told there are not less
than 1900 in all three hospitals and 80 at
Pablo. AS rule, think that the pa
tients are doing well. The mortality is
less than at other points but there is still
room for reduction. In the Third Diyi-
sion hospital, out of 145 male nurses, 43
were on the sick list last week; and out
of 43 female nurses, Il are sick today
This is due, in some measure at least to
overwork and want of suitable food
Conditions are better in the other hos
pitals. but tha nurses are overtaxed in all
except, perhaps. in the first division,
where they have been placed on eight
hour shifts. In addition to the sickness
In the hospital, there is great deal in
quarters-from 100 to 300 in almost every

to secure more healthful conditions the
camp has been scattered over a wider ter
ritory. and the distance from the division
hospital Is so great that practically the

The diet of the men can be greatly varied
within the limits afforded by the Govern
ment rations. if company commanders
and regimental quartermasters would
only take enough interest in their men
and make it their business to vary the
diet as they should. But in the absence
of this interest the Red Cross must do
what il can TO remedy the situation, and
this requires much money. We need an
other thousand dollars right away. Gen
