Question

SEATTLE. Aug. 12.-rhe jill, a Japan
csc newspaper, late copy Of which has
been received here. does not approve the
action Of the Bank of Japan In adding a
large amount Of silver to the reserve fund

the government added six million yen
worth Of silver bullion TO its hard money re-
serve and issued the same amount Of con-
vertible notes, lending them to the govern
ment The bank has now in its possession
a gold reserve amounting to g. 900, 0UO yen
The bank having added to this SIX million
yen In silver is now able TO increase tho
issue of convertible notes. This, says a

refused. He attributed the failure to prop erly provide for the patients at the camp
 hospitals to fred tape" and peace for
 thirty years" which incapacitated the de- partment for expansion or emergency. Had
 congress established a hospital corps the trouble might have been avoided. One
 great difficulty in getting supplies of drugs arose from passing acquisitions from the
 division surgeons to the corps surgeons,
 and the surgeon in charge. This required
 week. He asked the corps commander on
 June 20 to have the typhoid fever patients
 isolated The epidemic could thus have
 been avoided, but no attention was given
 the request The beer drinking and the
 unwholesome food assisted in developing
 typhoid germs

 officers at corps headquarters went to
 Harrisburg today to appear before the
 committee of the war Investigating board.
 The testimony of the witnesses heard to-
 day did not add materially to that taken at other places.
 Chief Quartermaster Howard gave ue- tailed report of his department, and said that the corps was as well equipped in July as any body of soldiers that ever took the field.
 Colonel Allison testified that the quality of rations issued at Camps Alger and Meade was excellent. He claimed ignor- ance of cooking among the volunteers was the cause of much of the sickness at Camp Alger, and suggested that the comissary sergeants be appointed from the non-com- missioned officers In the regular army. He said there would be less sickness among the troops if they did not eat dainties shipped to them by friends at home. Colonel Allison said red tape did not pre-
 vent the return of the commissary depart
 ment of spoiled food and the issuing of
 good rations in its place. General George w. Davis, commander of
 the Second division, Second corps, said
 Camp Thomas at Chickamauga was one of
 the best camping grounds in the country.
 He attributed the sickness at Camp Alger to keeping the men there too long and camping tEem too closely together. Inn proper food sent to the soldiers from their homes also had much to do with the sick ness.
