RECEIVING SHIPS UNFIT

Unsanitary "Rookeries of Modern

ton May Be Attributed to Them.

These ancient hulks are. from a sani-
tary standpoint, the rookeries OF the
modern navy. They have declined to
the status of prison houses, or perhaps
more aptly termed. houses of detention,
ships no longer"
Such is the denunciation OF receiving
ships which Surgeon l. w. Curtis, Of the
Buffalo. offers in a report of the health
statistics Of that vessel which shows
that the life and occupation of enlisted
men IN the navy are far from healthful.
Desertion in the navy is attributed by
Surgeon Curtis TO the unsanitary condi-
ton Of ships which are lying in port for
long periods. In CO rection of these evils
he suggests that every effort be made
