With the exception resolutions denunciatory of General Chang Hsun and his associates, but the intrepid old warrior has not been moved by any such action and stern- ly refused to return to his post in Anhwei province. Demands have been made by the press and public for the punishment of General Chang Hsun. He has been denounced as a military tyrant, who is defying all organized authority in China.

It is proposed to take in at first some hundred lepers selected from the thirteen provinces in_proportion to the number in each. During their stay on the island the lepers will be taught modern farming. Bee Want Ads Produce Results. Knows His Power. It is unlikely, however, that ‘he would accept the office of vice presi- dent, were it offered l\im‘ou condition pitals, qutcd at strategic points in the long stretch of border territory; eight camp hospitals at other points | where troops are stationed, a canton- | ment hospital at Columbus, N. M., to serve the force on duty in Mexico, | and twenty-six ambulance companies and forty-one field hospitals dis- tributed among troops in the field. The base and camp hospitals afford | accommodation for a total of 4,600 patients and have medical and surgi-| cal facilities equal to the final hos- pitals. Not more than half the beds have been occupied at any time since | the nation's militia strength was | called into the federal service, but the room is available in case of need. | Hospital Train. Back of this array is the potential organization. A hospital train of ten | Pullman cars, with a capacity of 250 patients, has been placed in use to transport patients from the camp to the base hospitals and from base hos- | pitals to general military hospitals in | various parts of the country, should | a campaign in Mexico be undertaken. | These larger institutions are the Wal- | ter Reed hospital at Washington, the | General Army and Navy hospi?l at | Hot Springs, Ark., and the Letti nann} hospital at San Francisco. About 1,-| 200 beds are vacant in the three hos- pitals at the present time. | In addition, a number of army posts | have been selected for transportation into general hospitals in case of emergency. This list includes Fort | McPherson, at Atlanta; Fort Ogle-{ thorpe, also in Georgia; Fort Ben-| jamin Harrison, Indianapolis,” and other army stations where barracks are available for hospital purposes. Complete Equipment. | The medical corps has complete equipment in storage for twenty| evacuation hospitals and two base hospitals. An evacuation hospital takes care of 300 patients and a base hospital accommodates 500, so the total reserve equipment ready for use at a moment's notice is sufficient for 6,000 men. Evacuation hospitals are entirely under canvas, and are intend- ed for use along an extended line of communication. The base hospitals now in service are located at Fort Sam Houston, Fort Bliss, Brownsville, Eagle Pass and Nogales. Serving as feeders for these institutions are the camp hos- pitals located at the following points: Laredo, 120 beds; Del Rio, %5 beds; due to infectious maladies yphoid fever was formerly the worst scourge of camp, but it has no place among the troops along tiic Mexican border. From May 1 to Oc tober 18 only twenty-one cases of ty phoid developed and no deaths re sulted from the disease. All of thesc cases were among the National Guard organizations, where in some in stances the men were not inoculated with typhum serum until after regi ments had come to the border. Therc was nqt a single case among the 42 000 trdops of the regular army en- gaged in patrol duty and stationed ir Mexico with General Pershing’s com mand.
