THE FACTS ABOUT ONE CASE.
Il have had occasion to know this to be rue.
In recent Issue Of one OF our well-known news
papers 1t was asserted that the soldiers had
gone without food from 6 at night until noon
next day, when travelling from certain POINT
10 Camp Alger l investigated this complaint
personally. and found that the boys were On
thusiastic when they started, not hungry, and
when they received their rations they threw the
bread away. inscribed some Of the loaves with
their names and gave them to the girls at the
station. and in other ways showed no care at
all for the food which was to supply them next
morning AS may be imagined when morning
came there was a hungry set Of boys with no
food available yet 1t was not the fault Of the
Government
This is only ono Of many instances that
have taken pains TO investigate. The distress
occasioned by reports of insufficient and i'm
proper food Is needless, and this fact might
we'll be considered by careless news editors or
reputable papers before allowing their columns
to be Allied by energetic reporters and complain
ing volunteers with unauthenticated matter
upon vital question. 1t is absurd to sup
pose, as one wellknown journal intimates that
the United States Government cares nothing for

world at large may we'll reassure itself upon the
question Of the soldiers food supply, for II Is
rapidly being placed upon most satisfactory
basis by experienced men, and the causes that
have so far given rise to complaint have been
only the ordinary exigencies of the case such
as might possibly occur in the moving Of even
a well-reguated household establishment OF
large proportions, IL unframed service had 10
be depended upon. These troubles only tenn
porary and certainly no true soldier would like
to have his patriotism called into question by
openly giving warrant to complaints OF minor
difficulties that so quickly remedicd. Had
our Government followed the brilliant example
chefs Of Paris for his army. might probably
have been spared much anxiety upon this sub
