the army to examine sites for a large winter
hospital in the South. It Is the intention to

at some place on the coast, and the opinion
prevails that it will be at Charleston or Savan-
nah. The hospital will be constructed of lum-
Der, and will accommodate from 1.200 to ], D
patients at one time. 1t will be similar to the
