Find No Flaw in His

Letter Inquiring Whether

Brings High Praise

II. H. Klein, FIRST Deputy Commits
sioner Of Accounts, it was learned yes

TO Dr.. Perry Bromberg, a physician of
Nashville, Tenn, in which he asked
the latter to tell him something about
the record of Lucius P. Brown, Di-
rector OF Foods and Drugs Of the New
York Department of Health. Mr. Brown
was suspended about the time the let
ter was written and is now awaiting 4
hearing.
IN his letter the Deputy Commits
sioner says he had been informed that
"Mr. Brown. who came to New York
from your city, left Nashville under
q cloud"
In his answer DR.. Bromberg praises
Mr.. Brown and adds that "the feeling
in Tennessee is that he is the subject
of political intrigue in New York.

letter TO the Nashville physician, said:

ton had is that he left there under

will be in strictest confidence, and would
like to receive reply before the 10th of

Reply Praises DR.. Brown
Here is DR.. Bromberg's answer. dated
May 8:
Replying to your letter of the 7th. beg
to say that DR.. Lucius P. Brown. formerly
of Nashville, is well known to me.
You are in error relative to his having
left Nashville under cloud In truth he
left much to the regret of the medical pro-
fesson as we'll as the various civic or
ganizations who stood tor fair dealing and
honesty in the administration of the Pure
Food and Drugs Department in this state
in fact, Tennessee regarded it as a very
distinct loss to have efficient and
capable leave, and the newspapers through
out the state expressed themselves edi-
torially over his loss.
II do not know the circumstances under
which DR.. Brown removed from office
in New York, but the general feeling in
Tennessee is that he is subject of politi-
cal intrigue. We know him to be a man so
high minded that he could not be used by
those higher in authority"

1914 the whole thing would a been
thin air.
The parting of the E boys was a
great event. 1t included a banquet
and dance that started at whirlwind
pace and kept UP right to the finish.
The mess hall was q scene of beauty,
while the squad room, decorated in a
most elaborate manner, served as a
dance center. The whole affair was
q great success and each and every
man who worked to make it so memo
rable an occasion received high praise
from the many visitors and officers
alike.
Sergt. Henry G. Warden proved him
self a second Oscar (the Waldorf-As-
toria Oscar, we mean) with a menu
that hasn't been surpassed by any out

soup to nuts 1t was sumptuous re-
past. Sumptuous is right! The walters
were very much on the job and did
the ir part in fine style.
Following the banquet. dancing was
enjoyed until a late hour, the boys
proving most hospitable hosts. A most
attractive souvenir in the form Of a
company roster, dance program and
menu was given each guest, it con-
taining besides the name of each man
in the outfit. each mans address. A
card of memoriam to the members of
the company who died during the "flu"
epidemic was also included in the~dain-
ty booklet.
~The departure of the ammunition
train boys was accompanied by dis
play of eagerness to get back home,
together with an outburst of company
spirit that made the surrounding wood
land ring. The various outfits sang
their marching Sings, while the depot
brigade band came over to play the
last retreat 1t was joyous line that
went to the station and they lost little
time in saying their farewells to the
camp.
Company B had a big celebration
the night before they left in the form
Of snake dance visitation to all parts
OF the artillery section Of the camp.
Each man had f1ashlight and
throughout the evening the line of
march was aglow with the flashes
from the Daylo outfits.

Camp Meade to a New Nurse.

AS we drive down to the movies I
look around, and the thought comes
to my mind, Behold our city"-a city
that Is SO young and yet so comfort
able to live in, and healthy. To my
mind the base hospital is q sana-
forum as well as hospital, where men
who have suffered from some ailment
or other for many years come in
and have their bodies put in shape,
SO to speak, and then have plenty Of
space and fresh air during their Pc
riod of convalescence.
Camp Meade gives you many i'm
pressions. Sometimes think of it as
large resort, where you meet inter-
esting people from all parts. You are
at liberty to help yourself to knowl-
edge and find interest at every turn
Your mind seems positively to stretch !;
every minute Is worth its while. At
other times it seems to me as sandy
desert that has been turned into
city and is surrounded by forests.
Camp Meade is in Maryland, but
merryland is in Camp Meade. We
come off duty while the boys are sing
ing and they are singing when we
come on in the morning; 1t gives one
the impression that they sing all
night. We watch them at the base
ball games. cheerfully having their
bones broken, and we see them cheer
full all the time those bones take to
knit. You need not be a slave to con-
vention in Camp Meade. Stick to the
rules, do your duty, and, for the rest
be happy.
Having seen Camp Meade, I realize
what a tremendous power America
will prove to be in this war. The
Americans. so far as can see, go over
with good foundations as fighters:
their training here gives them ex-
perience in all the different methods
of warfare. The world Is expecting a
great deal from America; perhaps
more than any other country. am
only one-year-old American in sery-
ice, yet I have seen enough to want

Remarks by Roberts"

Whene'er I hear fellow rant about
the things he can or can't or won't or
will, I liken him to William Brown, who
used to live in my home town. He was
a pill From early morn till fall of dew
he used to tell what he could do or
would or might, if he had dollar bills to
burn and some one else the wheels to
turn, and all was right. If he had all Of
j. DIS jack or just enough to build a
stack from Chi to Maine he'd win the
war on such a date or buy bond as
sure as fate. that much was plain.
But when the kids were selling stamps
to send more soldiers to the camps to
learn to fight old Bill would never get
aboard but said if he were Henry Ford
he'd buy sight. While poor folks saved
and bought a bond old Bill was fishing
in his pond or shooting quail, but he fell
in one day and drowned and nothing
but his hat was found, so spend your
kale. If we had each a billion rocks
we'd buy our thrift stamps by the box,
but some are short. so buy your stamps
by ones and threes. spend all you can
and make no pleas, but be sport.
