III HEN it comes to diplomatic
w mareuvering to accomplish their
designs the officers of the navy can
give pointers to the Russians and the
Japanese. AS an instance the case of
the hospital ship Relief may be cited.
1t will be remembered that last win.
ter President Roosevelt made an or
der that the Relief should be com
man led by medical offiLar. The men
at the navy department were amazed
that doctor should be given COM
mand of vessel, but there waa no
appeal from Mr. Roosevelt's order,
The Relief was detailed to accompany
the fleet on its trip around the world.
Letters from men who are with the
fleet have been received here telling
of the sad experiences of the hospital
ship and her commander. In describ-
ing these experiences one writer pref
aced his letter as follows: The Re-
lief is the most unpopular institution
in the navy. There is no exception
The Relief has everything else beaten"

Naval Officers Experts in Diplomacy

The story is that the Relief has been
burdened with woe ever since the
cruise began. and that every officer Of
the navy. except the doctors, IL
tickled to death that this is SO. The
line officers who didn't approve having
doctor as their commander have
found many ways, the story goes, Of
making life miserable to the men in
charge OF the hospital ship. OF course
the suggestion of a service conspiracy
to this end would be resented and
could not be proven, but there is a
sub rosa intimation that something
very like a cabal has been formed
with the purpose Of proving how much
a doctor doesn't know about running
a ship.
Wherever the fleet has been the Re-
lief has usually limped along behind
the procession. She has had trouble
getting supplies. getting coal, getting
consideration of all kinds. 1t always
just happened this way and nobody
"A particular was to blame. 1t IL
hinted that when the fleet returns sug-
gestions will be made in many quar-
ters that the cruise has demonstrated
that Nobody is competent to manage
a war weasel who is not an accredited
officer Of the navy. In other words,
that the experience of the Relief, with
a medical officer in command, has
been a hopeless failure.

and face were a solid, raw sore. 1t was
awful. He suffered dreadfully, and
screamed until we thought he would go

baby commenced to get better right
away, although by this time the disease
bad a good start. I don't think we
used more than three bottles Of the

all traces of the eczema were gone. the
