The Military.. authorities have Intel j. been embarrassed by an outbreak of a q epidemic of measles at Trent'ham, an 0 available hospital accommodation ha 0 been sevorely taxed. Hitherto th D sick men have been accommodated i CI a part of the General Hospital com nionly known as the D.T.'s Ward, an at the Plague Hospital at Berhampore j There has been a certain amount o overcrowding at the latter establish ment, and the Defence authorities hav ) now arranged to havo the use of an ) other . ward at the General Hospital Officers of tho Medical Corps will at J tend to the patients, but in other respects the wards will still remain under tho control of tho Medical Super--1 intendent at the Hospital. In spite . of the discomfort the sick men have ? shown excellent spirit, having not con . plained at all, and not a serious con plication has arisen in any single cas< . In future men sent in from the cam ; suffering from measles will go to th . quarters provided in the General Hosp: I tals. Wlien they are convalescent the 1 will go to the Plague Hospital, an " they will go to Trenthani to the isc lation quarters provided there, to re [ cover health and strength before tai j ing up again tie hard work of train > ing. > These epidemics of infectious disease I are the bane of all long-establighe camps, because sooner or later siclmes of this sort is sure to appear.

Not only have the; ' measles there, but also mumps, whicli when epidemic in a camp is very han to eradicate owing to the long periw ; of in every case. At Tren | tham all possible steps, such as the iso lation of all suspects or oontacts, ari | being taken to prevent the spread o the disease. . TO OUR MEN IN CALLIPOLI.
