WILL UNDERGO OPERATION,
Blamer Ordered to Naval
Hospital Here.

Commander D. W. Blamer has been or
dered to the Naval Hospital In Washing
ton. where he will be subjected to an OPP
GRAFTON with the hope of relieving a seri-
Gus gall bladder trouble.
Commander Blamer is now at the hos
pital at Portsmouth, n. H. He has been
on sick leave for three months.
Just before he applied for sick leave
Commander Blamer was a sufferer from
this trouble. Under treatment at the
Portsmouth hospital he was greatly bene-
fitted, and the necessity OF an operation.
1t was believed, had passed. But he was
stricken with grip while recuperating and
his other trouble returned.
Although the operation he will undergo
Is painful. there is no prospect of danger
to life. The possibility that his condition
will serve to disqualify from further serv-
ice is remote.
