man, was the remarkable transforma

for duty at the Officers Training
School at Fort Mcpherson.
In giving his reasons to the congre-

enter the training school, DR.. Conklin
said that as a graduate physician and
pharmacist of two universities, he felt
that he could serve the government
more usefully as an officer than as a
minister. while some other man could
take his place In the pulpit.

In the midst of the group also lies
the volcanic lake Of 1lopango. A VOL
