United States Commissioner Ferdl

goes on :
"Today , as I realize what a vast civ

"I wan and remain a great admlrci
of the Chicago's world's fair. When I
llrst came hero and for n long time
afterward I felt very doubtful whethei
the present exposition could equal
ours. My views have changed. Chi
rugo excelled In some respects. We
had there a magnificent situation-
vast areas of lake front and a splendid
park. Our men took advantage ol
these points with an Intelligence , the
result of which cannot bo overpraised
Even the French officials heading the
present enterprise have not forgotten
the marvelous architecture , harmo
nlous groupings , enchanting water ef
fects and the general loftiness of the
fair of 1893. They willingly concede
that Homo of those things must remain
unciiulcd | hero.
"On the other hand French In-
gcmulty and artintlc taste , coupled wltli
extensive previous experience , have
achieved wonders. The area of the
Paris exposition IB loss than that ol

west of the Allcghenles and that west
ern republicans must be considered.

qualifications and the officers so com
missioned arc to be subject to honor
able discharge whenever their ser
vices are no longer required. The bill
also provides for the promotion of
such assistant surgeons to the rank of

satisfactory service. General Stern-
berg has written a letter to the secre

the proposed legislation during the

ter of justice to a number of contract
surgeons who are now in the service ,

says devolves the duty of caring for
the sick of our armies in the United
