the action of the Senate in confirming them.

doubt as to his powers in the matter he
forwarded the statements prepared by his
direction to President Roosevelt for such
action as he deemed best.

MEDICAL CORPS UNIFORM.
Some of the Important Changes Con
templated.

Important changes are contemplated in
the uniform and insignia of the medical
corps of the army. The uniform board is
considering the advisability of substituting
maroon for green in the trimmings of the
hospital corps. Green is not regarded as
desirable. nor pertaining to the corps, but
more to rif1amen, and maroon is favored
because some shade of red has been adopt
ed by almost every medical corps abroad.
1t is also proposed to substitute the
caduceus for the familiar Geneva cross as
the insignia OF the medical corps.
The lcaduceus in mythology is known as
Mercury's rod, representing a wand en-
twined by two serpents and surmounted by
two wings. The ancient poets attributed
wonderful properties to the caduceus. The
rod represents power, the serpent stands
for wisdom and the two wings imply dill
gence and activity. important requisites for
