was letter written by Robert 3. Roose-
welt to the commission, which contained
a very warm roast for somebody In
part it says: Il have noticed in the
morning press that one of your MEM
bers criticises the witnesses who have
testified at the request of the committee
formed in this city to protect the SOL
diers, for the reason that while estab-
fishing the fact that much groundless
ard inexcusable suffering was inflicted
on the army. they do not fix the re-
sporsibility, nor show who is to blame
I'VE supposed that all The witnesses
were TO do was to prove the facts and
that the commission would fix the re-
spCnsibility-indeed, was appointed fC-
the express purpose OF fixing the re-
spOnsibility. Nor VIII it do to
take refuge behind the errors of the
civil war. There was then no inten- |
tional cruelty such as seems to have so |
often prevailed il this war. The sick |

But suppose matters had been a thou /
saEd times worse in the civil war, would !
that be any reason now that our men !
should De sent with arms out of date, |
that there should be no ambulanCes, no !
pack trains or transportation to carry /
food to the front; not half sufficient |
medicines, nor doctors: no proper hos
pitfalls. and that men with freshly treated |
wounds should be left to lie in the mud |
on a blanket if they .had one-without
if they had none-or even why mid
winter underclothing should be sent to
Cuba and midsummer gaUze under
shirts to Montana?
