and their friends.
Despite the fact that Col Gorgas en-
gineered the work Of making the Pan
anna Canal Zone sanitary. q work in
some respects as great as the construc-
ton Of the canal itself, there are serious
efforts afoot to have some one else ap-
pointed to the office Of surgeon general.

canal sanitation work, but he is the
ranking officer OF the medical corps
Colonel Gorgas Is now in British South
