"The divisional surgeon has seen him?"
"Been caught short," Cogswell rapped. "Short of gliders. Short of even one glider. And within a few weeks I'm committed to a divisional size fracas." He pushed back his chair, angrily. "General McCord is in command of the Carbonaceous Fuel forces. Met him before, and always brought up victory only by the skin of my teeth. But this time he has two gliders. I have none."
In addition to many graduates and students of the Medical Department attached to the different units, two members of the Faculty, Dean Victor C.

No wonder we retired in comfort." The brigadier had told him more of what had happened to the rd, our companion Divisional Artillery Brigade.
"You have the Corps' permission," said the Colonel; "it will now be necessary to obtain the Divisional C.O. permit." This I eventually obtained. Now if by any chance a "blow" took place opposite either of the other Companies, it would be necessary to obtain their permission, as they were in another Division.
