POOR SHOWING
FOR OUR ARMY
DISEASE RATE FAR ABOVE THAT
OF ALL EUROPEAN MILITARY
FORCES.

Washington. oct 10.--Of the TWEEN
ty-one men of the United States army
killed in action in the past year only
two were by gunshot according tc
the annual report Of Surgeon General
'O'Rielly. Twenty-seven soldiers com.
mitted suicide Ten deaths were due
to homicide Forty-hve soldiers were
drowned, II per cent of the total
deaths from all causes, indicating that
the soldiers should be taught to swim
There was decided increase in insan-
ity. but this increase was not Incident
to the service. or the lightweight sol.
diers discharged for insanity the dis
ease was noted as having been con
tracted before enlistment In twenty
two cases, and probably so contracted
in eleven more. Eight soldiers were
discharged as insane within three
months Of enlistment
An unfavorable showing is made for
the American army in comparison
with other armies In the statement OF
diseases I'm the army. This is more ap.
parent than real. In the American
army the soldiers are admitted to sick
reports and treated. In other armies
they are promptly discharged. Gener'
al O ReillN says
THE comparatively high American
death rate for tuberculosis Is explained
by the fact that in the United state.
army tuberculosis patients are sent t.
a saptarium and retained In service fo'
long periods. while in other armie
they are promptly discharged; th'
high admission rate IS no doubt due Il
the present defective system OF medi
cal examination of recruits.
"The undue prevalence of typhoi,
fever in the army Is partly explained
by its undue prevalence in the civl
communities where the troops are sta
toned, as a result of the general fail
ure TO purify water and sewage in Am
erlcan municipalities"

heavy" he says "The force in these
bureaus need wedding outs / will find
places FOR those whose services are not
required in their present capacity in
other divisions, where the work under
the new method has been slightly in
creased.
4 believe that at present the Pension
Office force is about as well proper
toned as can be ordinarily expected.
Yet, the success with which the former
scheme has worked and the manner in
which the business Of the Office is now
being kept up to date justifes the
changes that l am preparing TO put in
force
One OF the most Important develop
ments from Mr.. Warmers reorganiza-
tion scheme is being welcomed by Con
gressmen at the Capitol During the
opening week no fewer than 1000 bills
and resolutions asking for pensions and
increased pensions for war veterans anC
their widows were introduced in both
houses

Fair Ones Try Old Gag
to Get Into the

A good illustration of the 'cruel ef-

p. M signs in the Government office
buildings was given yesterday when
two handsomely gowned young ladies'
accompanied by an elderly gentleman
presented themselves at one of the en-
frances to the Treasury Department
about 30 o'clock.
To all appearances the request OF the
ladies should have been unhesitapnSly
granted. They said their uncle was an
official, and they desired to see him on
important business.
Uncle Sam, Maybe.
