Any doctor who maintains that typhoid
fever must inevitably ravage camp Of
soldiers shows a contempt for all the pro-
testations of sanitary science. Sanitary
experts assert that an epidemic among
men whose camps are carefully chosen is
crime. Somebody is to blame for the
epidemic among our soldiers which has
extended to Porto Rico. According to-
DR.. Sem, many of the men carried the
seeds of. the disease with them to that

1t is fortunate that a complaint has
brought out a statement as to the med
ical service in General Lees corps. The
thorough system he has created is a
proof that all the suffering of the
wounded and sick in Skaters corps
from lack of proper attention might
have been avoided. In every division of
General Lees army three per cent of the
enlisted men are detailed for hospital
duty and are well drilled in all their
duties. Not soldier could fall from a
wound without being picked up and car
ried to the hospitals where they are sur
geons enough to care for all cases. His

Evidently Admiral Dewey did not know
the terms of the friendly agreement be-

distinctly says the Spanish are not pris-

as though they were.
