ABUSES IN soLDIER's HOMES.
Startling Oficial Disclosures I'm Regard to
Petty Economy.

-. Washington, Feb. ia sensation
will probably be caused by the report
of Inspector George Breckinridge, who
has been investigating the condition OF
soldiers. homes throughout the coun-
try. In his report, which will soon be
sent to congress, he makes some start
ling disclosures concerning the practices
at some of the branches. He finds that
the old soldiers are quartered in all
sorts Of places, without much regard
for sanitary conditions, under circum-
stances which he denominates as cruel
as we'll as dangerous to health.
He points out that the officers of the
branches occupy well-lighted and venti-
lated rooms for Office purposes or for
store rooms, and that the old soldiers
are kept in dark. damp places, herded,
from all accounts. worse than the cat
tie in the branch barns. He describes
at some length the petty economy
maintained at some branches, such as
allowing old and much used towels for
bathing purposes and limiting the
amount of bed linen which may be
washed per month. At one place the
soap was doled out inadequately TO the
needs of health and cleanliness, and a
pair of sheets could not be washed
oftener than once a month.
