mission yesterday-General Greene,
who participated in the battle at Man
LA; Colonel Lee, chief quartermaster at
Camp Thomas. and Major Hersey. who
was for a time in command of the
Roosevelt rough riders. Each gave
testimony covering his experiences, and
Willie each one admitted the possibi-
ity of individual cases of suffering and
discomfort all said that in the vast
majority of cases complaints were eX-
aggerated, If not without foundation.
They agreed in saying that no army
was ever so abundantly and luxurious
ly supplied as was the American army
In the Spanish war.
Colonel Lee dwelt upon the national
difficulties of supplying an army of
$4,000 men. They were impatient, as
rule, and seemed to expect to be able to
turn faucet and get everything they
wanted upon the spur of the moment
The hospital and ambulance corps had
