mental Omcers.

The War Department is receiving every
day angry and violent protests against
the subsistence and commissary depart
ments of the Army. 1t is asserted by
congressman and by Army officers, too.
that these two most important depart
ments are run in a wretched manner at
all the great camps and that the troops
are suffering from insufficient food and
lack of shelter and clothing everywhere.
The charge is made on every side that
this condition is the direct result of the
appointment OF incompetent officers in
these two departments. The Times has
had several things to say of the appoint
ment of Little Lord Fauntleroys." and
people with nothing TO recommend them
except their political pull. 1t IS now as
serted that this grave misstep is already
bearing its fruits in the suffering of the
troops and the delay of campaigns.
