Offers to Resign.
DR.. Scarito at once stated his willing

the alleged failure of the mission was a
question of the personality of its leader.
DR.. Cav again assured him that such

In the general debate following evi-
dences Of high regard for DR.. Scarito,
and his work, which includes the service
he gives as a physician, were seen on all
sides. 1t seemed to be entirely a ques-

spent. A wish was expressed that the
work could be transferred to the far
richer field of Baltimore.

finally adopted. one proposed amend
