 Gross Negligence Claimed.
 Notwithstanding the fact that ty- phoid and paratyphoid levers are epi- demic in the United States and in spite of our extensive experience with these diseases during the Spanish American war, and later during the period of mobilization on the Mexican border, it is evident that many medi- cal officers have gained but little knowledge of the fundamental prin- clples underlying prevention and con- trol. It is quite evident that some medical officers are grossly careless and neglectful of their duties and responsibilities as medical officers and sanitarians"
 High Standards Not Maintained. It is fully recognized. the circular says, that conditions brought a bout bv the mObilizing of millions of men and the active participation in the war of 2,OOO, 900 of these have at times ren dered sanitary control extremely diff t1cult, especially during the stress of active combat. The high standards of sanitation and personal hygiene set by the army medical department during the previous decade, it adds, were moi lived up to during the past year and 8 half, due to a, com bination of fac tors, the more important of which was the lack of facilities and material transportation difficulties and insuff7- cient training and personnel.
