The station is providing free medical attend- ance and free medical advice to families of soldiers and sailors. A statement issued by the medioal station says that it has been possible to procure a sufficient number of volunteer side to carÓT necessary vacations during the aamme, but the original staff of physicians, instead of increasing, has lost three members and two more, have just signed up to go abroad this month.
