HOSPITAL CORPS ALL. RIGHT.
Authorized by the War Department
Yesterday.

Captain May yesterday received a tele-
gram from Washington stating that he
should authorize the state surgeon general,
who is Colonel William NJ. Wright, to nom-
mate the following to serve as a hospital
corps for the Indiana volunteers: Five hos
pital stewards, five acting hospital stewards
and 1H privates to be approved by the med
ical corps The authorization is tentative
one being caused by "a desire to equip the
troops in this respect, so that no time will
be lost in getting them into active service,
and the step is taken pending congressional
action on the subject, as the regular army
regulations do not provide for this estab-
hShment. 1t is very evident, in the opinion
of all the officers, that many things will be
allowed to be established, as in this case,
that are not in strict conformity with army
rules, but which are thought TO be essential
in cases of volunteer soldiers.
The present hospital corps is composed of
three hospital stewards only for each regi-
ment. and the regular regimental surgeons
in conformity with the United States army
regulations. Their names have already been
printed in the Journal The ones ordered to
be nominated in the telegram of yesterday

A PRIZE RECRUIT.
Soldier of Long Experience Who
Asked for No Office.

Asked for No Office.
Capt James Little, of Company A, Sec
ond Regiment, had a recruit assigned to
him yesterday who was out of the ordinary.
The recruit was originally unearthed by
Captain Mccormick, ordnance officer on
General McKees staff. The man came in
yesterday and stated to Captain McCor-
mick that he wished to enlist, saying he
had had eight years s service in the regular
army When asked if he had his discharge
paper with him he said that he had, and
produced of the finest certificates ever
issued to man in the regular army. The
discharge covered period of two enlist
ments, aggregating eight years, in the Fiji
teenth Infantry, to which regiment Captain
May belongs.
With this documentary evidence before
him, Captain Mccormick asked the appli-
cant what position he wanted when the
latter replied: II don't want any position;
/ want to be a soldier" Seeing that he had
before him a first-class soldier, Captain
Mccormick told him to come around later
and in the meantime tried to make arrange
ments so that he could have the man as
signed to him assistant. Colonel
Studebaker also heard of the recruit and
expressed desire to make use of him in
his regiment. AltOgetnSr, Ine young man
was very popular person among the diff
ferent regimental officers, but he fooled
them all by simply walking into Captain
Mays office and presenting himself individ-
ually for enlistment. His papers being all
right and his physical condition satisfac-
tory, the captain made no difficulty in en-
listing the man at once and assigning him
to the Second Regiment, Company A.
When enlisted the man gave the name of
Preston H. Nash, and stated that since
leaving the army he had been student in
the Indiana Law School of this city, max
ing his home at Danville. The chagrin of
the officers who had been pulling wires to
get the man was very apparent when it
became known that he had been assigned
TO Colonel Smiths regiment. Captain Nc
Cormick asked him what he had been in
such hurry for, as he could have used
you can get me transferred, can't you?"
II know I'll try said Captain Mccormick
And try he will.
Captain May, in speaking of Nash, said:
HE is good man and viii be valuable to
any company that secures him" His dis
charge papers contain several marks Of
credit gained during his eight years serv-
ice but nowhere in it was there even a
suspicion of a mark to his disadvantage.
He is, therefore looked on on all sides as a
very desirable acquisition to the brigade,
and will doubtless be given a fitting posi-
ton.
