INFiRMARY is TRANSFERRED
OWOSSO TO KALAMAZOO
Captain n. A Hume and His Me n
Offered Places In Medical Depart
ment Of State Administrative
Staff.

Captain HI. A. Hume, commanding
the 32nd Michigan infantry infrmary
stationed here, received orders Mon
day to transfer the organization at
once to Kalamazoo. The transfer
was recommended by Major Lee, SEN
ior medical officer of the Michigan
brigade, some time ago, and permis-
sion was asked of the war depart
ment by Col. Bersey, adjutant gener-
al, to make the transfer.
Captain Hume was ordered to
Lansing for a. conference with Col.
Bersey and went from there to Kala-
mazoo to arrange for the establish
ment of the infrmary. The order
directs that Captain Hume be re-
lieved from duty with the infirmary
and that the enlisted men here either
make application for transfer to
some line organization or to the med
ical reserve. There are at present
IL enlisted men in the infrmary.
Captain Hume has been offered a
place on the state administrative
staff, medical department. The staff
consists Of one major, two captains
or Geutenants, two sergeants and six
privates. Captain Hume is given per-
mission to transfer eight of his men
to this staff and will do so. This
will mean that two of the privates
will be promoted to sergeants as all
three of the sergeants in the infrm-
ary were recently discharged under
the dependents ruling.
The work of the administrative
staff is, as the name implies, admin
istrative in nature, and it will be
Captain Hume s duties to secure
equipment, and recruit and instruct
the reserve medical corps at mobili-
cation camps after the hospital corps
is called into the federal service.
Those duties will not for the time
being, at least, interfere with his
duties as medical member of the
county board on conscription.
