ADMIRAL DEWEY IS 70 TODAY.
Hero OF Manila Bay VIII Quietly
Observe AnniverSnry

Admiral George Dewey. who had quite
a celebration last week when he wasn't
yet seventy, reaches that age to-day. and
will DO so quietly and without any more
display than any man who is a full ad
miral of the United States navy might
be expected TO display.
After a life spent in serving his coun-
try on sea-and some OF the service has
been regarded as very eminent. indeed
Admiral Dewey feels content that he
hasn't wasted his life. or misspent it, or
done any OF those very sad things which
some old men say that they have done in
their youth.
Admiral Dewey was born at Montpe-
lier, VT. December % 1897. He entered
the Naval Academy September % 1854
and was graduated from the institution
in 1888. Since then his history has been
written with that of the navy, although
the latter part of it. and particularly the
Manila Bay part, is written in a little
redder ink than his early years OF service

DUTCH CABINET RESIGNS.
Trouble Arises Over Crisis In EstI-

The Hague, Dec. 25.-The Dutch cabinet.
or council Of ministers. comprising nine
members. by whom the executive au-
thority Of the government is admins
tered. to-day presented its resignation. Il
is thought that the dissolution OF the
Parliament is likely 10 follow
The resignation Of the cabinet is due
10 the defeat OF the army estimates in
the second chamber OF Parliament. The
opposition. in the discussion OF these esti-
mates, COntended that the efficiency Of
the Dutch army was not proportionate 10
its cost. The clericals. who are opposed
to the governments plans for universal
suffrage. are pleased over the situation
created by the cabinets resignation. as
they prefer that the expected general
election which Is to follow should be
fought out on the military issue rather
than on universal suffrage.

Too Much Interference.

The internal administration OF the Bu-
reau Of Medicine and Surgery has been.
in my opinion too much interfered with
by the Bureau OF Navigation. This In
reference has at times caused me grave
concern as 20 how I could meet the needs
of those under our care.
AT present the hospital ship Relief
would be in commission. and after having
done good service with the fleet before
starting would have accompanied IL on
the cruise south. The Bureau OF Naviga-
ton thought otherwise. and the feet of
1890 men, with its auxiliaries. is without
"a hospital ship. and Will be until il arrives
az Magdalena Bay. more than three
months from now.
I have only asked that the Relief be
put IN commission. just as every other
hospital ship has been. and that the navy
medical officer be given exactly the same
status as that accorded 70 bis brother
officers in the army. who have command
ed this identical ship. NOT 20 do this
would be unfair 20 our medical officers.
As this Is matter pertaining entirely
20 the Bureau Of Medicine and Surgery,
and is decided by the Secretary Of the
Navy. il is hard 20 understand how Ad-
miral BrowEson could be specially in
volyed, as his duties pertain entirely 20
another bureau. not directly responsible
FOR the care Of the sick of the navy, and
In which he should not interfere unless
directed by the Secretary.

RIXEY REPLIES.
Continued from Page One.

more than a year ago. 10 attempt 10
unity the medical services as much as
possible, recommended that hospital ships
should be commanded by medical officers.
and the recommendation was approved
by both the Secretary of War and the
Secretary Of the Navy in general orders.
Settled In Civil War.
"The question was settled definitely, so
far as the army was concerned. during
the civil war. and all hospital ships and
medical transports placed under the
Surgeon General Of the army. and have
remained so up to the present time.
THE japanese naval hospital ships
were commanded by medical officers.
after having tried line officers.
Hospital ships are simply floating hos
pitals. and as such are considered by all
services 20 be properly under the control
Of the medical department. which is di-
rectly responsible for the care Of the
sick and injured of the service.
Naval medical officers have had posi-
tive rank for some years, given them by
act of Congress, but as the use OF titles,
which indicate rank, has been denied
them. II is not generally known. They
also have the right TO command in their
own corps, and all those who are intrust-
ed TO their care whether on the sick list,
in the hospitals. or on hospital ships.
Il have contended that hospital ships
should be conducted in peace exactly as in
time Of war. During war time, line on
GERS cannot be spared. and do not and
should not desire the command OF these
ships. and It has always been considered
doubtful question u the Geneva and
Hague agreements could guarantee the
neutrality Of these ships II cOmbatant
Qine) officers and crew were aboard. This
very doubt prevented the japanese from
using line officers on hospital ships.
a medical officer In command. with a
civilian sailing master and crew for the
navigation Of the ship, has been proven
over and over again the proper personnel
for this type OF ship.
The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery
is directly responsible for the welfare OF
the health OF the navy. and every friend
and relative looks 10 il for the care OF the
sick and wounded. This work should
have the sympathy and active support Of
every one.
