CLERGYMEN WHO LISTENED To THEIR COM
PLANTS HOWEVER, FIND THEM BAsELEss.
Washington. Jan. 90 SpeciaD.-Every once In \
while the monotony of barrack life in the ARM ard
Navy is relieved by an agitation of the subject Of
ratiOnS and the personal treatment of enlisted men
The long string of charges which is generally presented
has often proved taSelcss and obviously the result
Of a personal dissatisfaction with the life of soldier
that complaints of such nature rarely create any
excitement 1t is not often that more than two or
three disgruntlcd soldiers and sailors are concerned In
this mild form of rebellion. This has been the case
with the complaints made by the marines stationed
at the Washington Barracks some of whom have
been giving testimony before a local delegation Of
ccrgymen The latter succeeded in gathering much
of startling nature from enlisted men and freely
gave the local newspapers extracts Of the more SEN
sational parts of the evidence.
1t now appears that the men who furnished the
ministers with this interesting information all men
who have AT one time another been under sentence
OF court martial and the great star Of the cleri al
inquiry was at time convict. The ministers
prepared the testimony and sent 10 the secretary of
the Navy, and threaten To carry the matter to he
White House. several pastors who were Interested
in the question called on Colonel Iteywcod the Com
mandant of the Marine Corps the other day, and
sought to compel him 10 correct the alleged abuses
OF the service. They were shown the quarters Of
men and had explained to them the privileges and
liberties which ali marines enoycd They were sur
pri~cd TO find that the rations were plentiful and
heal bful. Official inquiry had already been made
10y an Inspector and the report of the inquiry into the
methods was sent to the secret who has returned
II with the Endorsement Of his faction The al
minlStfauOn Of the Marine Corps.
