said DR.. Holcomb. "She was formerly
coastwise steamer running between
New York and Boston. in the passenger
service. Her hull was of steel, the deck
house Of light construction. and during
the war with Spain she was thought TO
be a prudent purchase for the War De-
partment's use. After the sale she was
hastily converted into a hospital ship
She was then Of much value in Cuban
and Philippine waters and after SIX
years was transferred 10 the Navy De-
partment, overhauled thoroughly and
fixed up for a regular hospital ship.
"She was ordered to Magda1ena bay,
Mexico. at once to Join the Atlantic
fleet for trip to Manila But at Manila
she was condemned as unseaworthy.
and after repairs, numbered with the
Pacific feet, to be stationed moro or
less permanently on the shores OF
Chile On the way down to Chile she
was struck by a typhoon, and re-
turned to the Philippines on her last
sea legs. Now she is used to supply
hospital accommodation, but like an
old lady worn out by long service, she
will cease to dare long distances.
There are many hospital ships which
lie in harbor, or practically SO. Before
the army and navy made use Of such
ships to any extent there were those

continued DR.. Holcomb. Having been
fully equipped for taking care Of the
wounded and efficiently caring for the
sick. the admiral decided May to send
her north with them in order that they
might be transported to a colder climate
at the earliest date practicable.
The hospital there in New York. for
merly called the Brooklyn Hospital, was
erected in 1888. The construction, char
acteristic of the period. is massive blocks
of Sing Sing marble. The reservation
contains about sixteen acres of ground,
and the building has accommodations

to Mexican waters without moments
delay.
Only a few hours after the trouble in
Vera Cruz this hospital ship of ours ar
rived from Tampico. where she had been
stationed for some time. and received
the men injured in the engagement. She
is surely we'll named" said the surgeon
gravely, pausing moment before he went
deeper into subject it was evident he
loved.
You see. to begin with, the Solace
wasn't built for hospital ship. She
was made to carry merchandise. and did
it for years before the Navy Department
bought her. during the war with Spain.
She was of steel. and 500 tons that
made good speed. After the battle OF
Santiago her work as a hospital ship was
over for the time. and she was ordered
to duty as naval transport between
San Francisco and the Philippines.
1T was In 1909 that she was placed In
permanent service as a hospital ship.

LAS hospital ships were not common
when We started rounding out the work

problem. Perhaps one of the most diff

was heavy sea. Taking patients aboard

gerry can perform
Hero DR.. Holcomb interrupted to say
that Gen. BREASTED Is more interested
in the subject of hospital ships than
most anything else, and that the plans
made were his own. only he was too
modest to tell it, that these plans COW
cred exhaustive studies of the Japanese
navy and it's hospital ships used dur
ing the Russo-Japanese war, and be-
lieved to be the foundation for the
present status OF hospital ships in gen
eral
Still there is little we can learn from
the japanese concerning hospital
ships, resumed Gen. BREASTED. Their
hospitals are good for Japan. but fitted
for the care of the Japanese only.
Their institutions would not be at all
satisfactory to our people Their navy
had when l was studying in Japan,
eighteen hospital ships, two of them
Red Cross vessels.
They did not impress me as favor
ably as | had hoped They seemed less
spacious. and the finishing touches
were not as well looked after as l had
presumed they would be. The only
thing in which these ships surpass our
own is that they are better sea boats
possibly. The position of the Japanese
on an island group has made them ever
seafaring people. They have sent their
men abroad to every country on the
globe, to study the navies of other ma
tions. as well as their own, and they
make battle on the sea constant

There is one great feature Of serv-
Ice We can learn from them. and that
obeys unwaveringly the slightest in

discipline of the medical branch is in

Male nurses only are employed on
their ships. There is an Isolation cell
for the insane. which is q rather
marked feature This cell is well pad
ded, with canvas cover, and painted
white. In the door is small sliding
shutter to hand in food and no one
need come in contact with the soldier
so afflicted.
I might mention a number Of facts
which would prove not uninteresting. but
would merely be demonstrating the
great use Of this type Of ship, which I
hope we are coming to realize the need
of more every day. The Secretary of
the Navy is much interested in hospital
ships, and he fully realizes our need for
them, not only in time Of war. but in
time Of peace. It is now a recognized
principle that in peace times we should
have one hospital ship in the Atlantic
feet and one on the Pacific coast
"Of course, we have been using hos
pital ships, in certain sense for many
years. In the civil war we utilized them
with the squadrons In the Mississippi.
and we also employed them in the trouble
with Spain. During the latter war we

and a plan was suggested by Colonel
BelliDger, who professed himself eager
to see that Atlanta merchants were
given the opportunity TO compete. in
the contracts for supplies given by
the fort.
The members of the committee were
e,ated over the suggestion. OF course
with no troops at the fort, there is
little trading at present But as soon
as the Seventeenth returns or another
regiment is assigned TO take its place,
the usual large demands for supplies
will be resumed.
Colonel Bellinger said 1t was his
opinion that the supplies could be pur-
chased from Atlanta merchants as
adyantageously as through any other
station in any other part of the coun-
try. He impressed the COMMITTEE
members with his evident good viii
toward the Atlanta merchants, and
the impression is that with the re-
turn of troops to Fort Mcpherson the
Atlanta dealers will have an equal OPP
portunity of bidding on the contracts
for provisions
Formal action on Colonel Belin-
gers suggestion is to be taken at the
meeting of the entire committee to
be called soon by Chairman Fort.
