For Good Reasons the Work of the Surgeon
Begins When Wounded Roach Hospital.
There seems to te a misapprehen-
sion on the part OF good many per-
sons as to the modern medical service
Of the army" said an army surgeon
who had been detailed for the Porto
Rico campaign. There Is no sort OF
doubt that there Is general misun-
derstanding of what is required OF
surgeon in time of battle. Many COM
plants have been made OF lack Of
prompt surgical attention to the
wounded at Santiago and an absence
of system. It is asserted that there
were not enough, If any, litter bearers,
except the Red Cross volunteers, and
few, if any, ambulances; that the
wounded had to make their way unaid-
able-bodied comrades who were needed
in the ranks. There may be truth in
these charges, but II there is the blame
should not be laid on the medical au-

could be better than the system de-
vised by them, and if there was failure
at Santiago the surgical staff there
must be held to account. For the
division hospital per cent. of the en-
listed force is detailed. The able
bodied men thus taken from the ranks
are subjected to severe discipline, are
thoroughly drilled and have absolute
and entire charge of the wounded from
the moment they fall until they pass
into the hands of the surgeons in the
hospital. These men are provided with
stretchers and are expected to keep
close on the heels of the advancing
line to pick up the wounded.
THE complaint that there was no
surgical attention on the field is based
on misunderstanding. For good rea-
sons the work of the surgeon does not
begin until the wounded are brought to
the hospital. This hospital must be
outside the range Of bullets and shells
and far enough in the rear to be secure
against demolition or injury In mo-
mentary retreat"

An interesting writer has lately
pointed out that the children of Prince
Arthur, the only son of the Duke OF
Connaught, who is himself third son Of
the queen, will no longer be Royal
Highnesses," but merely nobles; and
should these children have children
they will be obliged to content them
selves with the commonplace prefix
"Mr." 1t Is this fact that has induced
the queen to issue letters patent, under
the SEAL declaring that the children Of
the eldest son of the Prince Of Wales
shall have, and at all times hold and
enjoy, the style, title or attribute Of
Royal Highness." Hitherto these
children of the Duke Of York had no
right to being so termed. They were
Just plain princes, and their children
would fare no better than their cou-
sins Of Connaught This state of af-
fairs results from the queen living to
see three generations of her direct
heirs, and 1t doubtless set her to think
ing how Grandpapa Wales would like
having an untitled great-grandson,
with no place in the royal procession.
Until the issue of these letters patent,
little Eddie, David and Baby Victoria
were nothing but commoners in the
eyes OF the law. 1t seems odd to
Americans that this decree of the
queens should have lifted quite
weight from the Wales and Yorks'
hearts; but what say the Connaughts
to being left out in the cold with their
plain your Grace" apd MR." They
haven't been benefited, and what Is
to become to them hundred years
hencA?

THE OFFICERS SIDE OF IT.
Another Statement OF the Trouble
in second Louisiana.

Atlanta, April 19.-The officers OF the
Second Louisiana and a number OF enlist
ed men arrived In Atlanta late last night
over the Central Railroad and spent to-
ay in the city, leaving for New Orleans
this evening.
An officer who desires that his name be
withheld. In speaking of the trouble be-
tween officers and men at Savannah, said:
There were probably rs or 100 men in
the regiment who did not tell us good-by.
OF these nearly the whole number had
been disciplined during the time we were
in the service. Among them were Private
Valentine Ryan, who has furnished an in
terviews in which ne admits he was dis
honorably discharged and in which he
says there "a trouble ia the regiment, was
one of these.
Several months ago he preferred
charges against an officer Of the regiment,
but Col Wood saw they were without
foundation and did not order an investiga-
ton. Ryan then sent the charges 10 corps
headquarters, Gen. Lee commanding, and
Col Wood was instructed TO order Ryan
courtmartialed for preferring trivial
charges against an officer Col. Wood or
dered him courtmartialed, but before the
court could be convened orders came to
muster out the regiment and the war le-
partment dissolved the court and gave
Ryans case the direction of dishonorable
discharge.
"The people down at New Orleans were
very anxious 20 have the regiment make
a display upon its return home and told
us they would furnish US with guns, our
equipment having been surrendered 70 the
government. We informed the men of this
and they decided 10 go home together and
have parade. We then told them that IL
we rode on the same train with them they
would have to be under military discip-
line on the way home as we did not intend
being held responsible for disorder on the
train unless there was military discipline
We also disliked the idea Of being escort
ed through towns by armed policemen as
