ARMY MEDICAL OFFICERS
HELD TO BE Competent
Government Will Not Pay Civilian
Physicians Employed by Members
of the Service or Families.

The Secretary of War has promulgated
a policy regarding the employment of
civilian physicians and surgeons for
army officers and their families requiring
medical aid. The case presented was that
of army officer on duty at Fort Nc
Pherson, Ga. He was suddenly seized
with an illness which was. as it proved,
correctly diagnosed by one of the junior
army surgeons, but the family Of the
stricken officer lacked faith in the army
medico. and insisted calling in a
specialist from Atlanta. He performed an
operation and the patient died. The
specialist presented a bill for $3.50. The
controller of the Treasury, taking into
consideration all the circumstances of
the case and discovering that three army
medical officers were on hand ready to
treat the patient, decided that the gov
eminent should not pay the bill of The
specialist.
Secretary Dickinson believes the army
medical officers are competent to treat
cases which arise at army posts and except
in a few cases, there is no necessity for
calling in civilian physicians or surgeons
OF course, it is not intended that the
wishes of a patient or the desire of the
members of the family shall be frustrat-
ed. The point made by Secretary Dick
inson is that the government must not be
expected to pay the fee of specialist
outside the service, when the government
al medical service is easily available

co BACK TO REGIMENTS
EDICT OF WAR DEPARTMENT
TO MANY OFFICERS.
Failure of Congress to Increase
Quota Makes This Action
Necessary, It Is Said.

The War Department has announced
that, I'm view of the improbability that
Congress will take up the bill to increase
the number of officers of the army which
has been urged for several years by the
department. it has become necessary to
get as many officers back to duty with
the depleted companies and regiments as
possible
While the list has not yet been made
out, it is known that it will include a
large number Of officers on duty with
various state educational Institutions,
and West Virginia; the general staff.
Army War College. the Porto Rico Regi-
ment. the Philippine Scouts. the judge
advocate generals department and the
commissary and quartermaster's de-
partment. including even the Military
Academy and the Panama canal COM
mission.
A compilation Of the list of detached
officers shows the extraordinary num-
Der of 700, only seventy-nine of whom
the necessity of maintaining army Of
ficers on various staff duties and with
military institutions, Secretary Dickin-
son. at the same time. has called for
volunteers from the retired list to come
forward and fill the vacancies thus to be
created. The detachment of approximate
ly 200 is only for the present. According
the the program, fully as many more will
be detached in the fall. if sufficient
number of retired officers can be found to
take their places.
One reason why nearly 700 officers on
the active list have been detailed to de-
tached duty was because of the small
of available retired officers
who were qualified and willing to go on
duty Under the law retired officer
cannot be detailed to active duty without
his consent. Until the last two years
the majority of retired officers have Ell
Their been old men or physically disquali-
fed.

EuttOTIaIlZlng In government PAM
phlet is not usual. 1t is feature of
a publication, however, just issued by
the marine hospital and public health
service as an appeal to the municipal
authorities, urging them to do what
can and ought to be done toward the
eradication Of typhoid fever.
Englishman Is Quoted.
The moral tone of the communication
is exampled by a quotation from VIII
liam Budd. an English author, on the
brotherhood of man, in connection with
a discussion Of this particular disease.
This quotation says:
And let no one suppose that this is
a matter in which he has no personal
interest. The duty itself We may
evade. but we can never be sure of
evading the penalties of it's neglect.
This disease not seldom attacks the
rich. but 1t thrives most among the
poor
But by reason of our common hui
manity we are all. whether rich or
poor. more nearly related here than we
are apt to think. The members OF the
great human family are, in fact, bound
together by a thousand secret ties OF
whose existence the world In general
little dreams, and he that was never
yet connected with his poorer neighbor
by deeds of charity or love may one
day find. when it is too late, that he is
connected with him by bond which
may bring them both, at once, to a
common grave"
Ancient Sanitary Methods.
After referring to public hygiene as
cultivated among Egyptians. and the
code of sanitary laws given to the
children Of Israel" and suggesting
that they might be advantageously
adopted by many of our communities,
the pamphlet refers to the vavious
and. at times, most fantastic hypothesis
that have been adoptd to account for
the visitations of typhoid.
Farther on comes a quotation from
Ruskin. who. the pamphlet states. "cyn-
ically observed:
ANY interference which tends to re-
form and protect the health of the masses
reference with their vested rights to in
evitable disease and death"
High Death Rate.
In regard to the high death rate from
typhoid in the United States, the report
says that the rate for the whole country
averages a fraction more than forty-six
for each 100000 of population, compared
with 60 in Scotland, 10 in Germany and
11.2 In England.
The appeal, particularly to the mayors
and the city councilmen of smaller towns
is, that first of all they should study
the agents Of typhoid contagion and the
means for it's prevention; that they should
make the fight against the disease a lea-
ture of their administrations, so that they
can point to their record in reducing the
death rate as reason for demanding re-
election; that they should pay their
health officers adequately SO as to obtain
efficient men, and that they should ap-
propriate as largely for sanitary work as
the tax rate will permit. 1t is pointed
out that there are always people, especial
ly in a small community, who resist at
tempts to impose the simplest sanitary
conditions on Them and it is recommend
ed that in case these people refuse to
care for themselves the authorities should
take them in hand, and care for them to
prevent their becoming a menace to the
rest of the community.

Fidelity Of the Clerks.

II don't say that every clerk In every
department does the best that is in him
to do. But do believe that in proportion
to numbers you find as few who do not
attend strictly to business at all times
as possibly you will find among the en-
ployes Of great corporations such as Mr..
Bell is the head Of. or with the railroads
or other vast industrial corporations. l
never knew a clerk who hesitated in CIV
ing the most cheerful response when the
request came to remain possibly for hours
and sometimes into the night to, do the
work. 1 know of one man. an eighteen
hundred-dollar clerk, who lost his life be-
cause Of the service he rendered his gov
eminent during the Spanish war. and 1t
was my pleasure to give his widow a life
position, as some compensation to her.
Why, are you going to refuse the right
eous demands of more than 10000 be-
cause 200 or 300. or possibly 400, are in
capable or incompetent? There Is no JUS
tice in that. We all understand it. I
say when Congress increased the salaries
of it's own membership 1t did right. When
it increased the salaries of the President
and Vice President it did right; when it
increased the salaries of the judges
throughout this broad land 1t did right.
And for the same reason it would be right
for them to increase your salaries. The
argument that obtained in the one case is
the argument that must convince in the
other case.

land as result of that experience and
contact I say that. in my judgment,
the clerks in these bureaus are abso-
lutely honest; they are intelligent and
they are honest.
Rush at Closing Time.
I'm talking to a gentleman some two
or three years ago on this subject he
said to me. Just watch these different
departments, and see how at or
half past o'clock they all rush out
Certainly said I, there are $4,000 or
$4,000 of them to rush. and 1T creates
an impression 1 said, Go with me
where some great building is being
erected, when the clock strikes the
hour the workman drops his hammer
or his brush and walks out. Walk
down to the Office building on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. where the Southern rail-
way has it's office: you will see that
clerks walk out also. Go by the stores
up and down our streets, on Pennsyl-
vania avenue and F street. Don't the
clerks walk out when the store closes?'
Why should the department clerk re-
main after office hours, according to
the views of this tender-hearted gen.
tleman? And does that affect your
cause. because you do not stay after
the chiefs of the divisions and the
chiefs Of the bureaus have gone?
Take another point. Some gentle
men while walking through the cor
ridOrs in one of these great depart
ments have occasionally seen clerks
not working. Quite so, have seen
them. In some of the offices certain
clerks are compelled to wait until the
chiefs of the bureaus have arrived,
opened and read their mail and distrib-
uted it. Sometimes that chief may be
late in opening his mail, or possibly
in getting in.

The Course to Follow.

whether or not 1t Is wise to follow the
course of the government in the army
and navy, so as to force retirement at
fixed age. is a question. In addition to
those who retire at sixty-two. the navy
forces out every year number of Of
ficers who are under the age Of sixty
two to make places for the subordinates
who are coming on. Foreign nations
have not only provided for those in the
service, but they are providing to meet
the necessities of all laboring men who
grow old. A few years ago, in the city
of Baltimore school teachers met and
determined to incorporate society with
a weekly payment. so that when a teach
err was injured or Ill the salary would go
on. The first night they met to deter

was asked by the temporary chairman if
it is all right. but I find one defect;
you must have a fund to begin with:
some one might be sick right away. Here
is my check for 5000 as the beginning
of that fund: I don't believe that the
people of this nation are ready for
straight civil-service pension. I doubt
whether the public mind has reached that
stage. I understand you are asking
that Congress shall by direct appropria-
ton make proper provision for those
who have reached the age Of seventy or
sixty-eight. and that if Congress shall
take care Of these you, yourselves. will
take care of the rest Of it. If that be
true. 1t seems to ME that when Mr..
Shoemaker and Mr.. Bell go before the
committee tomorrow in Congress and
ask that they shall take care of those
who must retire and you will take care
of the rest, 1t ought to appeal to them.
This Is so absolutely fair that you ought
to get favorable response

Both Probably Acquitted.

Despite the presentment of Ways and
Hoffman. the general belief is that moth
ing will come out of the trial other than
acquittal for both men.
The ugly part OF the whole affair. from
the viewpoint of the politicians, lies i'm
the fact that Max Ways is the closest
lieutenant of John j. Mahon, the city
leader. AS matter of course the in
dictment of Ways does not add at all to
the prestige of Mahon.
Mahon is also just now under bitter
attack from newspaper that has for
years past been the recognized organ
of the democratic party i'm both city and
state.
