SPECIAL DISPATCH TO The CALL
WASHINGTON, Dec. zs.-"we
will have it as it is in the army" are
the words which President Roose-
velt is reported to have used when he
decided, over the protest of Rear Ad-
miral Brownson. to place the hospi-
tai ship Relief under command of
Surgeon Charles F. Stokes, thereby
causing Rear Admiral Brownson to
resign and creating the greatest naval
sensation since the Sampson-Schley
controversy
The officers OF the line are Sc
cretly opposed TO. giving commands 70
surgeons and uphold Brownson. but
they are too discreet to openly criticise
the president or Secretary Meteaf
That serious breach exists between
the bureau Of navigation and the bu-
reau Of medicine OF the navy. involving
the question OF the resDonsi-

made apparent tonight in state
uenr issues By Surgeon General Pres

that the controversy he reviews was
potent factor.

commanded by medical oficsrs. with a
sailing master and civilian crew for
purposes OF navigation. This partic-
ular vessel. he says. formerly belonged
70 the army and always was command
ed by a medical officer when used as a
hospital ship. In attempting to unity
the medical services OF the army and
navy. he says. a joint army and navy
board OF medical officers. which was
convened by executive order more than
a year ago. recommended that hospital
ships should be commanded by medical
officers and that that recommendation
was approved by both the secretary OF
war and the secretary of the navy in
general orders. Since the civil war, he
says all hospital ships and medical
