NAVAL DOcTOR-CAPT4JNS.

The recurrence Of the controversy over the
policy Of confding the command of naval hos
ptal ships 10 surgeons will occasion uo sur
prise 10 those familiar with the past history
Of that step. Indeed. il has been long fore
cast in The TI1bune's Washington dispatches
81 which the purpose Of Surgeon General Rixey
10 present the name Of Surgeon George Pick
rel for commander Of The SOlace. now fitting
out ar Charleston. has been foretold.
Before any such step is taken the Secretary
Of the Navy will submit the question TO the
President who VIII determine not only if
Surgeon PickreIl shall have command of the
Solace. but if the policy shall be continued or
abandOned and il seems highly probable that
The Chief Executive will decide against H. Sur
gem General Rixey. who was the leading ad-
vOcate Of the policy when il adopted by
president Roosevelt against the earnest protest
Of Admiral Willard II. Brownson, then chief
Of navigation, waged his warfare against the
recommendation Of practically all tie line Of the
navy, from the vantage point Of White House
physician, an advantage he viii not now enjoy
as Mr. Taft and his family are attended by
army surgeons.
When Alr. Taft comes to weigh the question
purely or its merits he viii find great array
Of advice against the policy from capable naval
officers. including Admiral Brownson. who re-
signed his position as chief Of navigation rather
Ihan sign the order designating a surgeon 10

naval affairs commands the highest possible
respect. Mr.. Taft has the utmost respect for
The advice Of military experts on purely military
affairs. Throughout his service as Secretary of
War he was always predisposed 10 accept the
views Of the General STAFF on subjects of a
technical character and there il no reason Ia
assume that commander in chief he viii be

4 GREAT CHINAMAN

In the death of Chang Chh-tung the Chi
nese Empire has lost one of its greatest men
Of the present age, and, indeed one who is TO
be classed among its greatest men of all ages
contemporary Of Ii Hung Chang, he was
the nveterate opponent Of that statesman. and
in consequence, during the period of LIS as
cendancy was kept somewhat in the hack
ground, and after LIS death he was already too
Old to take the active part in affairs for which
his abilities fitted him. Despite these .circum
stances he did more for the welfare of China
than almost any other man of his time ne
had the distinction of being scrupulouslv hon
est even in the worst welter Of corruution
which marked the days of Ii Hung Chang He
was regarded as Il conservative, vet he was one
Of the foremost in the work OF Introducing mil
roads and other appurtenances of civilization
into China, and at Marking he performed great
public works which give that city an enyiable
supremacy over all others in the empire He
was antagonistic TO foreigners, but that was
only for the protection Of China. and he inces
sanity urged that the Chinese themselves shOuld
build railroads, open mines and do the other
works which foreigners were seeking conces-
sions 10 do
