Politics has also cut something of a

The Washington correspondent of the

donment Of a camp politicians have call
ed upon the department authorities 10
dissuade them from such action. Every
locality where troops have been camped
has naturally profted. The soldiers

The Kaiser's TIP to Jerusalem.

~HE latest in regard to Emperor
william is that his wheels are
turning in a new direction-that
his condition is developing into religious
mania. His pilgrimage to Jerusalem is
said to be part and parcel of a scheme
to establish himself as the chief Of the
Protestant church. A writer in the Bos-
ton Herald declares that IF he wasn't
a constitutional Protestant, the kaiser
would insist on being made pope" His
tendency toward mysticism, says a cor
respondent. has led him to undertake
this pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and
TO send invitations to all the Protestant
rulers Of Germany to make the trip with
him has followed as a matter of course.
He desires an imposing audience, or
congregation, to witness the momentous
dedication in Jerusalem of his church.
AS williams grand-uncle, King Fred
| erick william ". of Prussia, was a re-
ligious lunatic during the closing years
of his life, and his insanity was caused
by the same incurable ear complaint as
aniicts the young emperor, the present
condition of his health naturally causes
the gravest misgivings in Berlin.
That some mental disease is newt
able many persons reluctantly admit,
and the latest agary il always watched
with anxiety. The kaiser has had a lot
of them, but this belief in a special in.
timacy with Providence has survived
them all, and seemingly grows in fervoI
with increasing years. Preparations foi
the imperial pilgrimage are on an elab'
crate scale, but the funny part comes
in when II is known that the mighty
kaiser is really a Cooks tourist. The
cost of the emperor's trip to the Holy
Land, in spite of Cooks men, will III

Chickamauga camp is the vilest place

and filth Of a big-sized city accumuiat-
ing. rotting. fostering, under a south
ern sun. day by day, and without a
proper supply Of water or food. Under
these circumstances typhoid n other
fevers were bound to break out In camp.
The hospital facilities were entirely in

among the men that a sick soldier was
better off away from than in the hospi-
tai. ITO sum up the situation said
one officer, "Chickamauga camp was
simply a hell on earth"

The Michigan Crowd.

F, ERE is a story they are telling in
~ Washington which seems to
explain a humble of things that
have been in the dark before. 1t seems
that General Shafter. who was sent to
Cuba with the army Of invasion over
many older heads in the regular army,
like Miles, Merritt, Brooke. Young and
others, is Alger's partner, or was re-
Gently, in the development of mines and
timber lands, and is reported a million
aire. 1t is said that Miles wanted to go
to Cuba at the outset, INC the president
wrote him a letter in which he in
structed the commanding general to use
his own Judgment about going. Miles.
it is said. claims he never received this
letter. This is one of the numerous
causes Of friction between Alger and
Miles. and when General Miles made
known to the president that he had
never received the letter he was direct
charge of a campaign that was on the
verge of failure.
1t is alleged that Alger wanted Shat
ter to be the real hero. so that public
opinion would force the latter's APP
pointment as military governor of Cuba,
and thus give a syndicate of Michigan
men, of whom Senator Mcmillan is one.
a monopoly Of all franchises. Mcmillan,
Il will be recalled, has recently made
an agreement with Alger not to be a
candidate again for senator. and Will
give his aid to Alger. Recently a Mich
igan man. now in Washington, who is
familiar with electrical railroads, was
taken into the confidence Of the Michi-
gan m and offered a berth to
manage that particular feature of the
development of the islands 10y

who for many years has been counse
for Alger, was given a b~rigadier gen

The Horror of Ii.

IT is a sad chapter OF American history
that is being written now while the
war ended in a blaze Of glory, peace
is being ushered in Clouded with scan

heavy with ordinations and recrimina-
lions. with afirmations. denials and pro-
tests. charge and countercharges. Some
Of the accused men. like Alger, are act
ing with ippant indifference, others, like
sternberg. are pompously trying to re-
pei the charges with a fine show Of sCorn

men at the camps are dying by scores,
The fearful responsibility lies some
where.

Politics Partly To Blame.

~DR it's part the New York Herald
r declares that politics and lack
Of proper organization are the
two causes at the foundation of prac-
tically all the shortcomings of the war
department, and Of the shameful condi-
tion of the army" 1t says that If ever
there was a time when politics should
have been forgotten IT was then. Mill
tary education and experience are Of
the greatest value to officers of the army
at all times, but they are never so
much needed as in the organization and
mobilization of troops, with war in
progress. Especially was IL necessary
TO have the staff departments which
have to do with everything except the
actual command of the men, filled up
with efficient and experienced men.
The medical department was the most
difficult to deal with for the reason that
there was no surplus body of surgeons
in the army for the president To draw
from i'm expanding this corps to a war
footing. All he could do was to take
such physicians from civil life as he
could get. With the quartermaster's
m commissary departments, however,
the case was very different. There were
in the army a large number of educated
and experienced officers who were on
duty as post commlssaries and regimen
tai duartermasters. Each one Of them
was efficient in the performance of his
duty. or he would quickly have been
relieved. There was the material from
which the enlarged quartermasters and
commissary departments should have
been made up in time Of war. This was
not done, however. General Egan. the
commissary general. has told how hi
