 In presenting J. S. Jenkins, M. D., now lieutenant in the United States army medical corps, who was guest at the luncheon, Dr. 'Wm. BreathWit paid his colleague high tribute, and took occasion also to point out that the criticism of the medical corps for conditions among United States troops during the Spanish-American war was deserved. Dr. BreathWit said the government ignored the plea of the medical men for equipment and l that no provision was made for them to work properly Despite this, how ever, he said, the Japanese learned enough from the American physicians and surgeons to permit them to send their troops thru the Russo-Jap panese war with less disease than was ever known up to that time. Dr. Breath wit declared that if the United States government will give the medical corps of the army the equipment and cooperation desired, the countries of the entire world twill take off their hats" to the medical profession of America, and that "Dr. Jenkins will have big part" in the great work. | Lieutenant Jenkins, in making clear his reasons for offering his services l is now recognized by all right-think- 1 ing people that the United States was forced to war to defend the prin- ciples of government and humanity On which the pioneers built this gov ernment and that, while it is not easy for one to sever ties of home and friendship, ''there is nothing for a patriotic man to do but to offer his services to the nation" especially if he is so situated that he can depart from his home without causing oth- CTS material suffering, and is equipp- ed to aid humanity. On behalf of the club, H Hemp Toney, president, com mended Dr. Jenkins for his self-sac- rifice, wished him good fortune. and "an early return to the welcome of fellow citizens who will be proud to accord the honor to which your noble course entities you" ( :: w.
