DR.. M'MULLEN
MISSED ORDERS

DR.. J. NJ. McMullen, formerly sta
toned at Hongkong, has been ordered
to Honolulu to take the place in the
Marine Hospital service of DR.. Man
ming who departed for Manila on the
Buford yesterday
Had it not been for a singular mis-
carriage Of orders. DR.. McMullen would
have been here now. DR.. McMuIlen
was a passenger from Hongkong on
the Siberia month ago. He had been
ordered to return to the mainland to
await orders.
On the day he arrived at San Fran
cisco the Alameda left for Honolulu,
carrying orders to DR.. Golfer desig-
mating DR.. McMullen to succeed DR..
Manning. Had DR.. McMullen tele-
graphed his arrival to the Surgeon
General at Washington Immediately
upon reaching San Francisco he would
probably have been ordered to take the
Alameda, then sailing and report to
DR.. Cofer in Honolulu. His orders
passed him on the way and We're no
doubt awaiting his arrival at San
Francisco. Just at present there is no
telling who will succeed DR.. Manning
as no new orders have been issued,
and DR.. McMullen may still come here.
The reason given for the many chan
ges in the official staff of the local
branch of the Marine Hospital service
is the needs of Manila and the Philip
pines. The climate of the Philippines
is such that the Marine Hospital men
sent there cannot stand the work for
any great length of time. As Homo
lulu is the nearest American station
from which the vacancies can be
speedily filled, this city is made head
quarters for the men of the Marine
Hospital service who eventually are
ordered to Manila. There have been
half a dozen changes in the local staff
of physicians in as many months.
