the command of hospital ships in the
navy, which resulted in the resignation
OF Rear-Admiral Willard H. Brownson,
and, incidentally, some caustic obser-
vations on that incident. was made

calf gave to the press two letters from
the President addressed to him on the
subjects.
In the first Of these letters President
Roosevelt condemns in unmeasured
terms the act Of Admiral Brownson
declaring it to be unseemly and inn
proper. The question on which Ad-
miral Brownson took issue with the
Navy Department, the President de-
clares, is one as to which there can be
entirely legitimate differences of opin-
ion, but, he adds, there is no room
for difference of opinion as to the
gross improperly Of the admirarB con-

organization of the department and in thu
actual drill OF the fleet. It is we'll. h,
says, that these defects be pointed out
but it is also well that they should b,
