Camp for the Navy.
TO AWAIT VACANCIES
CERTIFICATES ISSUED TO TWELVE
ENLISTED MEN.
The President Commends the Target
in Recent Local Courts Martial.

The recommendation for the establish
ment of IA tuberculosis outdoor hospital
and detention camp for the navy at Port
Royal S. c., will be renewed by Surgeon
General Rixey of the navy. 1t is the opin-
ion of the surgeon general that a farm or
hospital camp in connection with a station
at Port Royal could be made self-sustan-
ing. The medical authorities of the navy
are DESTROYS of remodeling some of the old
hospitals, and among other things they
hope to be able to secure congressional
action, which will enable them to increase
the accommodations at the Norfolk hospi-
tai so that $50 patients may be cared for
and to have the building arranged in such
manner that the facilities for caring for the
navy's sick and wounded may be increa sed
to 800.
Surgeon General Rixey is also DESTROYS
of securing authorization from Congress
for the construction of a hospital shin for
the Pacific coast. In pointing out the need
or such vessel medical officers of the navy
say that it would prove of inestimabIe value
in cases like the Bennington disaster 1t
also is urged that it could be used to great
advantage in transporting the sick from
the Philippines and in taking convalescents
from hospitals for sea trips which would
prove highly beneficial
