READY AT ANY TIME
Surgeon General Sternberg Prepared
for An Investigation.
DENOUNCESTHE fCRkZETOCRITICISE''
Inquiry Into Sanitary Conditions at
Montauk to Be Made.
HE CANNOT GO HIMSELF

Surgeon General Sternberg today sent
the following letter to New York medical
publishing house, which had made INQUIRIES
OF him concerning the conduct of the war
with reference to the medical department
and especially aboat the subject of having
an immediate investigation of his bureau
He says:
Il am ready at any moment for COM
plete investigation with reference to my
administration of the affairs of the medical
department., but the War Department is
not disposed to make such an investiga-
ton as the result of sensational newspa-
per articles. There is at present an evident
craze to critfcise without regard to truth
or justice. 1 have no doubt there will be
congressional investigation into the con-
duct of the war, but / do not feel at liberty
at present to insist upon an investigation
for my own vi1dication because it would
be contrary to the general interests of the
service 1t would make it necessary for
me to give up all the important official
work which at present almost overwhelms
me for the purpose of devoting myself to
presentation of the facts relating to my
administration. 1t would make il neces-
sary to take clerks away from their daily
tasks ir order to lcok up the documentary
evidence on file in my Office, and. in the
meantime, important matters would neces-
sarily be neglected and the sick in all parts
of the country would suffer. 1t would
make 1t necessary to call upon the medical
officers who are now urgently needed for
the care of the sick in our various camps
and hospitals to come to Washington as
witnesses. and all this to satisfy the
clamor Of irresponsible newspaper relrolt-
ers. There has been no official complaint
with reference to my administration of the
medical department.
TO Investigate Montauk.
In regard to Mcntauk Point, / intend to
send at once Lieut. Col. Charles Smart an
experienced officer ard the professor of
hygiene in Army Medical School, to
make thorough sanitary investigation. To
so myself, much as 1 should Ike to do so,
would be to neglect important official du-
ties in connection with the supply of hos
pitals, the movement of my hospital train,
of hospital ships, etc.
