Col Hard and Major Kuhns say that
when the Eighth regiment landed at
Montauk there were three days rations
in the vessel for the entire regiment.
According to all the boys their food
while on board, during the voyage was
wormy and utterly unfit for human
beings. The three days rations re-
ferred to were no doubt this spoiled
and horrid stuff. 1t is not likely Col

THAT FETCH OF RED TAPE"

The New York Journal, In late Is
sue, published statement given to q
reporter by Mpjc2 Central Wheeler. 1t
seems General Wheeler, finding lack
OF proper food supplies at Camp Wikof
ordered q large number of supplies for
the sick and convalescing in the camp,
including 5000 pounds of ham, 10000
pounds evsporated apples, also peaches
tea, lemons, oranges, etc. This order
was countermanded by Commissary
General Egan on the ground it was ir.
regular. 1t was not irregular" under
the red tape rules of the circumlocution
Office to let the sick and convalescing
die. This latter seems to be regular.
And yet the New York Tribune, an
administration paper, after giving this
statement from the journal, and not
disputing its truth, says; "The Tribune
has been unable, in the light of de-
velopments 30 far, to fix the blame for
existing shortcomings upon any one in
particular, but it finds no difficulty in
believing that the needless priyations
and sufierings TO which the returning
army is being subjected at home are in
large measure due to the sys'em of
circumlocu;lon and red tape which
stealihily and unubser,e hGs grown
upon wus ushington within thirty years OF
peace"
Here it will be seen the Tribune, like
the other administration papers, pal
liates and excu ses en parade5 "the
fetch Of red tape" and 'cannot fix the
blame, etc." These subservient organs
do not want "to Bx the blame" Their
friends are in power, and they want to
exonerate. Even Egan's countermand,
ing Wheeler's order incurs no 'blame." "

starvation for lack of proper nour-
ishment" was part of the explanation
in the death certificate given by the
doctor who attended the last moments
of Lieut.. Tiffany of the Rough Riders,
who died at the Park house, in Boston,
where he had been taken by his brother
on arriving at Montauk Point from
Santiago. "Starving because they can
not swallow tainted bacon and moldy
ardtack" was the statement Of medical
men who examined sick soldiers
brought up from Santiago to Camp
Wikoff. Yet another transport loaded
with sick soldiers from Santiago arrives
with no other food for the emaciated
and enieebled men but the same rations
of bacon and bareback. Some body, or
some bodies are to blame for this out
rageous negligence. We have been

FOR THE CURANs' RELIEF.
A Movement Started to Furnish Them

A movement for the relief of the starving

Mr.. Howard's plan, which has been taken
up by :. association formed for the pur-
pose-the Cuoan Industrial Relief Fund
| is based on his two years experience in re-
| lief work for the Armenians of eastern Tur-
| key. In the carrying out of the plan Mr..
| Howard will have the assistance of the
| Rev. Herber+ NJ. Allen. who was his chief
associate in Armenian relief work. The
! plan in outline is follows
First-To secure good farming land where
! the need of the poor is the most pressing
| Secord-To station there capable Ameri-
! can superintendent, with implements, seeds
| and funds sufficient to employ a consider
able number of men.
| Third-To set at work all the able-bodied

Fourth-To raise common food crops, sell
! them in the best available market and vita
the proceeds continue the employment as
| long only as the need exists, using the same
| money over and over again
| Fifth-To return the farmers to their own
former homes as soon as they are physi-
cally, mentally and financially able to re-
| establish their plantations.
| While inspired by charitable motives, the
| whole plan is to be operated purely as a
| business transaction, in which the laborer
| will feel that he has rendered service for
| all he has received. and that he has not
| been robbed of his manhood by being
treated like beggar. The money thus in

ART IN THE LIBRARY.
An Interesting Lecture by Mr.. Ber.
nard II. Green,

The lecture room of the Metropolitan NJ.
Il. Church was crowded to the doors last
night by throng OF people who came to
hear Mr.. Bernard r. Green lecture upon the
art of the new Congressional Library.
Long before the hour all of the available
seats and standing room were occupied.
There Is perhaps no one else in position
to speak with more authority on this sub
ject than Mr.. Green. AS superintendent
and civil engineer of the new structure,
Mr.. Green watched it's growth from the
very beginning
Before the eyes Of the audience the build
ing was made to grow as it actually did
fIom month to month, year by year, First
appeared the cleared ground, then the ris-
ing walls, until, crowned by the dome, the
beautiful building stood completed.
The lecturer dealt with the interior, using
discrimination gained only by those who
have been able to know the building famil-
larly. On the screen spandrel figures dis
solved into frescoes. frescoes into columns,
columns into detail decorative work. until
the audience felt as though it had gained
glimpse into the innermoSt temple given
only to favored few. Altogether the lee
ture was one of the most pleasing and in
Structive that has ever been given in the
church. The ladies of the organization
whose good fortune it was to secure Mr.
Green and his lecture feel that they owe
him debt of gratitude not easily liqui.
