UNITED FOR SEA DUTY.
Navy Surgeon, Addicted to Seasick-
ness. Transferred to Army.

On the ground that chronic seasick-
ness units him for service in the navy.
Passed Assistant Surgeon Clarence C.
Kress of the navy. recently ordered to
service on the cruiser West Virginia,
has applied for transfer to the Medical
Corps of the army, and the Senate has
passed an act authorizing such action.
Surgeon Kress has been in the Medi-
cal Corps of the navy about six years,
and recently was stationed at the prov
ing grounds at Indian Head. Md. Before
he entered the navy he had had four
years of service in the Medical Corps
of the army, including active operations
in the Philippines.
In reporting the bill for his transfer
back to the army the Senate military
committee said it believed that in
justice both to the government and to
DIR. Kress 1he transfer should pc made,
since it has become physically impossi-
Bile for him to continue permanently IN
the navy on account of chronic and per-
sistent seasickness."
