subject of discussion every whore about
the war department, but apparently each
head of bureau believes that an investi-

He went directly to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel where he talked of the army.
IL did not find the condition OF Camp

in the talk that either the i'll or the well
soldiers arc not properly treated. | think
there are sufficient accommodation for all
soldiers who will go to Camp Wikoff, and
especially now that so many there have
been given furoughs ] received offers
from New York and Brooiyn hospitals
to take at least three hundred of the sick
from the camp"
Secretary Alger was asked: GLOW do
YOU account for the confusion and lack of
facilities at Camp Wikoff?"
To this Gen. Alger replied: Did you
ever go into camp with 100 or even "a
men? If so, you know there is much con-
fusion with that number of men. What
do YOU suppose II must be then with
thousands? TO person who knows but
little about soldering there may appear
