good start in its work. General Miles
and several minor officers IN the Army
testified and while they generally ad-
mitted that the refrigerator beef vas

unanimous in condemning the canned
roast beef.
The trend OF questions put to the
witnesses of the day indicated that -
long as they agreed with General Miles
as to- the quality OF meat furnished the
troops in the field. the only criticism %.
their position the court had to make
was why they had not taken some OH
cial steps to- have the matter remedied
at the time. In every instance me reply
was that the circumstances in which
the Army was placed. In n sickly for,
eign country. with n large amount oi
fighting and a great scarcity OF trans
portation on hand. prcciudcd the posi-.
bility OF any such action In each in
stance the question was pushed no fur
