is by Mr.. Justice Shepard.
In the case Of Robert West, who was
convicted IN the Supreme Court of the
District OF housebreaking, the finding
OF the lower court was reversed. and
the case remanded for a new trial. West
was found guilty on the strength of \
confession he is alleged TO have made
TO the policeman who arrested him.
His counsel objected to this being
admitted as evidence against him at his
trial. Justice Morris in announcing the
decision OF the higher court stated that

The Surgeon General of the Army is
greatly surprised and disappointed at
the showing Of the doctors and almost
despairs of filing the large number Of
vacancies now existing by the autumn,
when the services of number Of young
surgeons should be available to relieve
those whose terms of duty in the Phil

Still Many Vacancies.

passing upon the qualifications of all
young doctors who have been author
lied to appear, with the result that
forty eight vacancies still remain un-
filled. with but few applicants on file
to be passed upon. The present situa-
ton is most embarrassing to the War
Department and is unprecedented in the
history of the corps. Usually there is
not the slightest difficulty in securing
excellent material from civil life for the
Medical Corps. and generally there have
been at least a dozen candidates for
every vacancy existing. The Medical
Corps of the army, in fact, has been
considered one OF the most desirable
branches of the service for men just
entering from civil life, on account Of
the rank and pay the new appointee
receives.
Another Examination.
Next October the army will hold an
other examination, and meanwhile an
effort will be made to secure the attend
ance of a large number of candidates
well qualified for commissions.
