composition was concerned. Feeling that these
statements were calculated 10 promote dissat-
isfaction, if not worse, among the comrades,
your correspondent called upon the Com
mandcr-in-C Chief relative to the matter, and
asked him if he could throw any light upon
the subject. General Beath replied: My
attention has more than once been called 10
this matter, and have also read the published
statements referred to. / had not intended
noticing them at the present time, nor do
now propose TO be drawn into any newspaper
controversy in connection with them, but, as
YOU have asked me the question plainly, i will
say that ali such reports are unqualiiedly false,
and ! speak from personal knowledge on the
question for the past seven years. have only
TO say. in addition. that at the proper time and
place all such malicious statements viii be met
and thoroughly refuted, and those who have
deliberately attempted TO bring discredit and
reproach upon the action and reports of the
National officers viii receive the attention they
deserve"
