Baltimore, Aprl 2 s peakins last night at
a banquet in ceebr; of the centennial an
riversary of the NJ and Medical and chi
rlrgical society, General Sternberg Said sit
is patent that the medical department of the
Urited States army failed under the great
stress put upon ii, but the reasons for this
failure arc'obvious. When / was made sur
my first fight with congress was to keen all
the surgeons VIC had. Congress wanted to
cut down the corps The force then was in 70
sufficient, When tho war came we had not
only an insufficient number, nut there were
twelve vacancies among the surgeons. The
Faces had TO be 1lled, and In some cases we
were compelled to call in very young men.
The army was increased suddenly from 20 0OO
- 100000 men. Everything had to be done In
the greatest hurry.
But | wish to say that Notwithstanding
the criticisms that have been made during the
war, there has been less sickness than in any
war | know Of, and. under the use OF anti
septic DRESSINGS for the wounded. thsr. have
been fewer bad cases and fewer capital upera-
tons. Not only is this true at Santiago, but
also at Manila. The wounds of the men neal
quickly.
Another thing that was q source of worry
to me was that the doctors hesitated to dag
nose anything as typhoid until IL war too
late and camp epidemic had started. When
you diagnose case of typhoid as nalaria.<ind
doso IL with quinine, you SOW the seeds OF
t. phoid throughout the camp know Of
many cases Of men who were held in regi-
mental hospitals owing to mistaken dag
ncsis and who later came to the division hosp,-
tai with typhoid. II was unfortunate, but IL
was owing to the hurry, the inexperience o;
the surgeons. and to the carelessness OF Off
GERS and men themselves"

that on Gen. Miles retirement he may

his vaulting ambition all United States

has stuck close to his desk and never
gone to war, will produce another con-
elusive proof that all things are possible
to an Ohio man.
The process by which the adjutant gen.
eral hopes to accomplish his plan is to
have President Mckinley appoint him to
the place in the list of major generals
of the regular force which will be made
vacant by the retirement of Gen: NJ r lit
