day Gen. Dodge, the chairman. an
nouneed that the sessions in the city
will probably continue ten days Gen.
Dodge declined TO give in advance the
names of those he expected to examine.
but 1t was said invitations had been
sent TO Col. Roosevelt and ether mlsm-
beers Of the rough riders.
Mrs. Edwin c. Allis. of New York,
who went to Camp Wikoff, Sept. 9,
10 help nurse the sick, was the first
witness called. She said that some Of
the hospital wards were oVercIowded.
While others were entirely empty and
shut up. Mrs. Allis' statement refer red
principally to the annex hospital and
TO the sick of the Twelfth infantry.
She complained that the food was poor
and badly cooked, that the sanitary
conditions were bad and that as a
result the sick and We'll suffered from
plague of flies.
Summing up her statement Mr.. Allis

had visited the trains carrying soldiers
from Montauk Point and found many
evidences Of neglect. Men too weak
TO help themselves were found lyirg

she made inquiry, she learned that
there We're neither doctors nor nurses
on the trains Of the convaiescents. She
&C implanted bitterly Of the lack Of cOn-
