Women in the War.
10 The Editor of The Evening Star:


After spending some six months at a
general hospital as an 9mploye of the gov
ernment, L believe 1 am fully able to give
my opinion, however slight its weight.
upon the employment of female nurses
the merits and demerits of the system. The
natural feeling that all men have for good
women would lead one of my sex to say,
emphatically, that the employment of wo-
men is necessity, but that is but partly
true. a woman is a natural nurse A man
is not. woman's presence is generally
soothing to an invalid. The effect of a
mans is dependent entirely upon the indi-
Vidual nurse and patient, the disease and
its stage. For the death bed a self-con-
trolled woman is much better than a man.
But to handle and control patients a man
is necessary. Women are more apt to Let
their sympathies run away with their best
judgment, and SO an actually reported case
of death from six hard-boiled eggs NAV
point the moral Again, whisky an aid to
the surgeon at times is great enemy to
discipline, and it is easier to bring it into
hospital where the majority of the at
tendants are women than where they are
men. For men, and especially soldiers
and sailors, know the tricks of their fell
lows. For the operating room men are
better than women. Their strength is AL
ways, and their self-command generalIv
greater than that of the opposite sex. In
preparing tid-bits for invalids the women
are more successful than the men but In
seeing that each patietn has just what food
is good for him, as determined by the at
tending surgeon commend ma to the men
The presence of women "at the 'front.' is
against the best interests of an army Their
presence at permanent hospitals is apuar-
entity desirable. These are my convictions
after talking with hundreds of wounded
and ailfng men of the two services.

ALL TO BE REAR ADMIRALs.
Examination by the Naval Board Con
cIudeI.

The naval board of promotion, consisting
of Rear Admirals McNair, Howell and
Howison, has completed it's work and sub
mitted its report. The board was convened
to determine the qualifications of those off,
GERS recently advanced to the rank of rear
admiral, under the terms of the naval per-
sonnel bill. The report passes favorably
on all the officers examined. so that all
question Of their advancement is removed.
The list is as follows:
Rear Admirals George c. Remey. Norman
HI. Farquhar. John C. Watson, Henry b.
Robson, Winfield S. Schley, Silas Casey.
William 7. Sampson, Bartlett j. Cromwell
John w. Philip, Francis ]. Higginson,
Henry F. Picking, Frederick Rodgers, Louis
kempf and George w. Summer.
In addition to these, favorable action was
taken on the case of Captain Benjamin f.
Day, whose formal promotion to the rank
of rear admiral by appointment of the
President has not yet been made. The re-
tlrement of Rear Admiral Robeson caused
the vacancy to which Captain Day will be
appointed.
The report of the board is now to be acted
upon by the Secretary of the Navy, which,
authoritatively that it did not contain a
word regarding the respective merits of
Rear Admiral Schley or Rear Admiral
Sampson.
After receiving Admiral SIMPSONS report
the board voted to make a favorable recon-
mendation in the cases of Schley, Remey
and Watson. whose cases had been tenn
porarily held up. The recommendation for
the promotion of Schley was made after a
careful consideration of all the facts con-
nected with the naval campaign in the
West Indies, resulting in the destruction of
the Spanish fleet, and is considered COM
piete vindcation of his conduct. The eigh-
teen admirals are divided into two classes,
inn ~ ~
ceiving the pay of major generals, $500 a
year, while the second nine. in which is
Sampson, receive the pay of brigadier gen.
erals, 1880 a year, with allowances in each
