Report on Operations of

WORK IN PORTO RICO
SITE FOR A FIELD HOSPITAL Sc
LECTED.
Local Courts Martial Cases-Would
Provide Cavalrymen With Bayo-
nets-Edgerly Promoted.

The surgeon general of the army has
ceived an interesting report from Capt.
b. h. Ashford. assistant surgeon, in re-
sard to the operations of the anemi;a COM
mission which has its headquarters at All
bonito, Porto Rico. Surgeon Ashford is
stationed in the mountainous section of
Porto Rico. which is practically bereft of
medical assistance. and has a population
of 100000 people. % per cent of whom, he
says are afflicted with the causes of
anemia. Some of them are helpless indi-
viduals. unable to get about for even the
simplest necessities of life. He adds that
ii is difficult to picture the dire need of
these people for proper medical attention.
A site for a field hospital has been selected
about one and half miles from the town,
where a dilapidated building has been rem
ovated for the purpose and Il free dis
pensary has been opened. The people are
coming to realize the Importance of the
movement in their behalf and to appre-
ciate the fact that something can be done
for their benefit. 1t has been an uphill
job for the surgeons to get this into the
heads of the natives. especially those of the
peasant class who practically know moth
ing about hygiene in any of its forms, and
who were dying by wholesale when lives
might easily have been spared. The com
mission will establish every two months, ii
resources permit a substation in different
parts of the island. Dr. Ashford con-
cludes his report follows: Our labor
will be to teach the people practically that
their illness is durable and why they
sick l believe that until a considera BILE
part of the inha bitantS of the island learn
the value of the law prohibiting earth pol
luton such law would be i'll timed, and
for that reason a complete failure"

Local Court-Martial Cases.

Brig. Gen. Grant, commanding the De-
partment of the East. has approved the
sentences of general courts martial in four
cases recently tried at posts in this vicinity.
In the case of Private Edward n. Mansky,
LIST Company, Coast Artillery, stationed at
Fort Washington, Nd, the court found him
guilty of the charge of desertion and SEN
fenced him to be dShonorably discharged,
forfeiting all pay and allowances due him,
and to be confined at hard labor for one
year, but recommended him to the Glenn
ency of the reviewing authority. In pass
ing on this case Brig Gen. Grant said:
The court has recommended clemency,
but as the court has already used the func-
tons of the reviewing authority by award
ing confinement for one year when the limit
Is eighteen months, there remains, in order
that the offense may receive some punish
ment, no further room for clemency.
Private Edwin NJ Bingham, Company A,
Hospital Corps, and Private Harry Walker,
Company H. 18th Infantry, tried at Wash
ington Barracks We're also sentenced to be
dishonorably discharged, FORGETTING all pay
ana allowances due them and to be confined

Bayonets for Cavalrymen.

Many military men view with favor a
proposition to equip cavalrymen with bayo-
nets in order that they may be enabled to
reEder more effective service when dis
mounted, which Is not an infrequent oc-
currence in the exigencies of the service. 1t
faEtry and actually serves as infantry when
their horses cannot be used. 1t is urged,
therefore, that cavalrymen be supplied with
the bayonet and made familiar with infan-
try tactics. One officer holds that the bay
onet would serve a useful purpose as an
implement of warfare in the hands Of the
cavalrymen quite as much as when it forms
part of the fighting equipment of the infan-
trymen. 1t Is expected that the proposition
Will receive the serious consideration of the
