DR.. JENKINS RECEIVES
FINE APPOINTMENT
AS Surgeon in Government
Service-Will Leave
a Palatka.

DR.. Frederick E. Jenkins for the
past three years engaged as an eye,
ear, nose and throat specialist in the
practice of his professional special
ties in Palatka, has been appointed an
assistant surgeon on the medical staff
of the National Home for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers at Hampton, Va.
He will leave Palatka for his new field
in few weeks.
Before coming to Palatka DR.. Jen-
kins was a surgeon in the regular
army, and since his advent in Palat-
ka he has been listed among the re-
serve surgeons subject to call.
His present appointment is not di-
rectly with the army, but is a natural
sequence of his former service.
He is still in the military depart
ment. There are number of Ma
tional Soldiers Homes throughout the
country and all are under direct man.
agement of the military arm, with
the President of the United States,
the Secretary of War and the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court as ex..
officio members of the directorate.
There is one surgeon in charge of the
department, with assistant surgeons
in charge of the various homes. DR..
Jenkins appointment stipulates that
he will be at the home in Hampton,
Virginia.
1t seems hard for man once in
the military service to get the virus
out of his system. Dr.. jenkins has
been engaged in practice in Palatka
for three years and has made a repu-
tation second to no physician in Flor
ida in his specialties. He enjoys the
confidence and respect of all the lo,a
physicians and has won the regard o.
the people. He has a beautiful home
on the river front a mile or more
down the river from East Palatka
which he only purchased and fitted up
a year or more ago. He was happy
and prosperous and all Palatka had
begun to regard him as fixture and
was proud. But here comes the mill
tary call, and 10, the doctor is prepar-
ing to hike. That's the soldier of it.
Mrs. Jenkins and her mother will be
main here for several months, and
DR.. Jenkins states that he proposes
to keep his river front home. He IS
allowed a regular vacation each year
and it is in the Palatka home he ex-
poets to spend it.
The appointment is one of attract
i've emolument as well as honor, and
is for life.

Simultaneous With Reas- sembling of Parliament the Field Marshal Makes
 Public Report of Another Success for British Arms
ASSOCIATED PRESS prapArcH1

LONDON, April 1.-The British par liament reassembled and simultaneous ly Field Marshal Sir John French's report of the British victory at Nueve Chapelle about which there had been rumors was published. Neither event fully satisfied the curiosity of the public on matters with which the minds of the people have been occupied in re- cent weeks. The house of commons sat only 35 minutes and the expected statement of the ministers on the ques- tion of liquor prohibition the accelera- ton of the output of munitions and the general progress of the war was post poned to future sessions.
 The statement of Under Secretary of War Tennant that there is no present intention to prohibit the sale in the army canteens of beer, the only alcoho- lie liquor in these establishments. in dicated the restriction proposed by the government would not be so drastic as some had been led to expect.
 The Germans and Austrians brought the Russian advances in the Carpa- thians almost to a standstill. At other points on both fronts there is no change in the situation.
 Field Marshal French's report goes into the detail of the operations of the British expeditionary force during Feb ruary and March. While he pays the highest tribute to General Sir Douglas Haig, who is directly in charge of the operations at Nueve Chapelle and re- ferS to the battle as a success and victory" he had some criticisms for other officers, although he did not ; mention them by name. He refers for example to considerable delay after the capture of the Neuve Chapelle position and says:
 'I am of the opinion that this delay would not have occurred had the clear i ly expressed order of the general com
 manding the first army been more l carefully observed"
 i He also says:
 ''The difficulties encountered might 1 have been overcome earlier in the day | if the genral officer commanding the
 Fourth corps had been able to bring his reserve brigades more speedily into ac- i ton."

HONOLULU, April 14.-Chief Gun ner's Mate Frank Crilly, an expert diver of the United States navy, to- cated the submarine F-4 which dis appeared on March 25, on the floor of the ocean outside the harbor at a known depth of 2SS feet. a new worlds record, according to naval authorities.
 Crilly, one of the group of navy experts who arrived on Monday on the cruiser Maryland. reported that he stood on top of the sunken sub marine He said the vessel lies on her starboard side with the bow pointing shoreward. After Crilly's report it was announced that further observations probably would be made by divers before any attempt is made to raise the vessel
 Crilly confirmed the previous belief that two lines were attached to the craft His descent to the new depth was made without difficulty. He wore the customary inflated divers suit. It was unnecessary. to use a recompression chamber designed to reduce the pressure on the diver gradually to prevent injury by sud den change from the high pressure at the low depth to the atmospheric pressure at the surface. Crilly was under water two hours. 1t took five minutes to make the descent, and he was on the bottom twelve minutes. An hour and rty-five minutes was required to bring him to the surface. in order to accustom him gradually to the change of air l pressure.
