Fox Hills Hospital
Physicians Deny
Newspaper Charges
Four Consulting Doctors Say
They Know No Basis for
Accusations of Neglect,
Poor Food, Mistreatnent

The four consulting physicians Of the
United States Public Health Service
Hospital at Fox Hills, S. l., yesterday
issued n statement declaring the at
tacks on that hospital in an evening
newspaper to be "malicious and unjust '"
"We," reads the statement signed by
S. Adolphus Kropf, NJ D.; Robert
kingman, M. D.; Alexander Lambert,
NJ. d.. and Arthur McGugan, M. D.,
have heard of not one complaint justi
lying such statements as lack Of sur
glcal or medical attention. insufficient
or bad food, cruel or harsh treatment
on the part of orderlies, guards, nurses
or physicians. The sanitary conditions
are such as are found in any we'll
equipped and we'll managed military
hospital"
The statement points out that "Fox
Hllls was constructed in ninety days
by the army as an evacuation hospital.
The army retained this hospital until
october 16, 1920. AS the army in
tended to give up the hospital at an
early date no attempt was made to put
the place in a general state of repair.
The statement explains that extern
sive repairs are contemplated as soon
as weather conditions permit.
I'm reference to the published COM
plant about an insufficient staff Of
nurses and doctors," reads the state
ment, I'VE would wish to say that there
has never been a time since the hos
pital has become a part of the United
States Public Health Service. which
was on October Is, 1920, that a ward
was without the supervision of a
trained nurse, regardless of the great
and unexpected influx of patients.
Whenever there were seriously i'll pa
tlents, nurses were detailed to take
care of them.
In view of the fact that ex-servicc
men are no longer under military dis
cipline, it is inevitable that among
l,2OO men there will occasionally be
disturbance caused by men coming in
late, staying out beyond the hour of
permission given, and even once in n
while coming in intox icated. Such mat
ters are usually satisfactorily settled
by the morale officer

Fourth Festival Concert
Is Notable Musical Event
b Bach.Wagner Program Given
by Bethlehem and Oratorio
ChOirs al Manhattan

The chorus of the Bach Choir. of
bethlehem. conducted by DR.. j. Fred
Wolfe; the Oratorlo Society chorus
and the New York Symphony Orchestra
made a pleasing combination with a
bach- W agner program in the fourth
festival concert yesterday afternoon at
the Manhattan Opera House.
The Bach Choir began with four
Bach chorales, we'll chosen to exh bit
it's powers. 1t sang them in a manner
we'll adapted to their simple, uustere
beauty, and was perfectly responsive to
Dr. W ole 8 baton. At times the tone
seemed somewhat harsh in the louder
passages, but this may Lave been due
to the Manhattan's acoustics, VIII the
closing measures of each chorale were
especially laudable.
Then Mr. Damrosch took the stand,
and the orchestra played Bach's air for
G string and Gavottc Il, showing the
finished quality of its strings, after
which the Bach Choir sang "Qui TOLLS
pcccata mundi" and "Contteor unum
baptisma," from the minor mass.
The second half of the program, con-
Quoted by Mr.. Damrosch, was devoted
to Wagner, with Florence Easton and
sang numbers from "Tannhauser."
Nine. Easton gave Eltzabeth's air from
Act II and Mr.. VIII tehill the Song to
the Evening Star, in Act III. Both
sang we'll, although Nine. Easton
seemed occasionally to strain her voice
in order to fill the house The Bach
Choir joined the Oratorio Society to
sng the chorus in Act II of Tam
hauser" and the chorale awake" from
The Mastersngers," perhaps not so
carefully as at first, but with plenty of
spirit and volume, while the orchestra
alone played the "Tannhauser" over
turc and the Ride of the Valkyries.
The last scene of "The Valkyrie," with
the fire music, ended the concert, with
Miss Easton and Mr.. Whitchill in the
parts of Brunnhilde and Wotan. The
audience was large and applauded gen
erously.
