FOUR ARIZONANS IN LAST A. [. r.
 CONTINGENT

A massed attacked OH Turkey and its allies was conducted by the last members of the American EXpedi- tionary forces to arrive in New York on January 19, according to word re- ceived yesterday from the Rocky Mountain Club.
 Four Arizona soldiers Jwere ill the party that landed from the transport with General Connors, and were en- tertained at the Waldorf-Astoria by the hospitable club. They were Higinio Chaires and Samuel E. Tay- Tor of Douglas, Captain John E. Ar drey of Nogales and John R. Nc Kean of Lowell.
 From what could be learned, the last A. E. F. men to retire from France made a terrible onslaught on Turkey, with the result the enemy was completely devastated, if not de- feated and routed.
 With this entertainment, the club closes its bureau of welcome, for it has completed the job. Even all over the west will come expressions ot gratitude to the organization, which has not only welcomed the men at the port of debarkation, but has effective ly helped maintain touch with the relatives of men who were brought home i'll and sent to hospitals instead of to discharge posts.

SOMETHING ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE WHICH IS
 SOON ID CONTROL WHIPPLE

When Whipple Barracks is turned over on February Is to the United States Public Health Service, whose record of government service is 122 years old, it will be only a transfer from the war department to the treasury department and insofar as the interests of Prescott are con cerned, from a business standpoint, affairs will be on the same basis as at present.
 The United States Public Health Service was created by an act of con gress in 1798 but was known as the United States Marine Hospital Serv- ice. As it developed and assumed additional functions, from time to time, 1t became known as the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service. In 1912 the name was changed to the United States Public Health Service, and by the same act, its functions were enlarged so as to include, not only marine hos pitals and quarantine stations, but also the prevention of the interstate spread of communicable diseases.
 H. K. loUL6, was an act of con gress, in 1918 authorizing the secre- tary of the treasury to provide hos pital and sanatorium facilities for discharged and disabled soldiers, sail ors and marines, army and navy nurses, (male and female) patients of the war risk insurance bureau, and others entitled to treatment by the Public Health Service. At the pres ent time the United States Public Health Service stands obliged by law to treat the following cases in addi- ton to those mentioned above:
 l. Merchant Seamen.
 ?. The Mississippi River Commis- sion.
 ,. The United States Coast Guard Service
 4. The United States Lighthouse Service
 5. The Engineer Corps of the United States Army.
 6. The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
 7. Civilian employees injured under the worknan's compensation act.
 s. Civilian employees injured on Army transports.
 9. Cases of discharged soldiers and sailors under the war risk insurance act of October 6, 1917.
 To meet these requirements the United States Public Health Service had in January, 1919, 2 hospitals and one sanatorium, with a total capacity of l,556 beds. This total was increas- ed by "A beds additional authorized jy a provision in the urgent dehci- ency act. But even when these addi- tional beds were ready, there was an inadequate number to meet the needs of the Public Health Service, exclus- i've of the requirements of the war risk insurance bureau. At that time, the Public Health Service was obliged to find accommodations for s1ne of its patients at private hospitals. With the inadequate facilities at that time, 1t was called upon to meet the fol- lowing burdens and responsibilities
