PRESIDENT MUST DECIDE
Who Will Be Supfeme on "Solace'
When Put in Commission?
ATTITUDE OF LINE OFFICERS
To Recommend That the Senior
Medical Man Aboard Be Mere
ly Gin Charge"

The naval problem as to whether a
naval surgeon shall command a naval
hospital ship. which caused SO mucn
trouble during the Roosevelt adminlstra-
ton, has cropped up again. This time
the question arises from the desire Of the
surgeon general to command the new
hospital ship Solace. That vessel, recent
~ brought around from the Pacific coast,
is at the navy yard at Charleston, 8. c..
being fitted out as a modern hospital ship.
Several weeks ago Surgeon Pickrell.
who was on duty at the Naval Academy.
was detailed to take charge of the spe-
cial installation necessary to fit the Sol
ace for its new duties. The surgeon
general has asked that Surgeon Pickrell
be detailed to command the Solace when
commissioned, which will be about July
1. when it is planned to add the vessel
to the Atlantic feet.
Line Officers Opposed.
The line officers. including the present
chief of the bureau of navigation, Rear
Admiral ]. E. Pillsbury, and Rear Ad-
miral William p. Potter, who will succeed
him July /. are said to consider 1t inad-
visabie to detail a naval surgeon to com
mand' q ship in commission. and espe-
cially a ship which is part Of q fighting
fleet. A recommendation will undoubted-
ly be made to President Taft that, what
ever orders may be given to Surgeon
Pickrell In connection with the hospital
ship Solace the assignment to duty be
SO worded as to make plain the dStinc-
tion between having charge of a hospital
ship as the senior surgeon on board and
exercising command" which is the func-
tion that line officers believe devolves en-
tirely on themselves.
The question Is the one which Surgeon
General Rixey induced President Roose-
welt to decide in his favor at the time
Surgeon Charles F. Stokes was detailed
to command the hospital ship Relief.
Came Near Going to Pieces.
That vessel came near going to pieces
while on the Asiatic station. and Is now
q hospital station ship at Olongapo. Sur
geon Stokes. was formally installed as
commanding officer of the Relief. and as
such was properly received by the other
commanding officers of the ships of the
Atlantic fleet when the Relief was part
of that command on its cruise from San
Francisco to Manila.
The Solace will be placed in commission
when ready for service. there being no
opposition to such q vessel, which is rec
ognized as having a useful function in a
feet. But it will have to be determined
by President Taft whether the senior ma
val surgeon on board that vessel shall be
in command or be simply In charge.
