2 WHO PAYS FOR THIS?

The most recent board of inquiry into the beef ques-
ton which the public attention has been called is that
which convened consider the responsibility for the
loss 100000 pounds of refrigerated beef shipped
The report says, in brief that
the responsibility should rest the military authorities
being rendered unfit for consumption due to
conveyance the absence Of proper facilities which
would enabled it reach the soldiers in proper
condition The United States accordingly held
sponsibe for the Toss, and will have to pay the bill
There does not any reasonable objection to be
raised to conclusion Assuming the facts to be
set report it would have been unreasonable
to charge packing people with the loss for which they
do not appear had any responsibility at ALL But
the question naturally suggests ITSELF What about the
tons of Canned and other beef which de-
stroyed unfit for human consumption and to the effort
to consume which much of the prevailing illness among
soldiers traced according to the testimony taken
boards of inquiry? Who bears the loss OF
huge quantities of beef which, according to the
testimony the hands of the soldiers without any
unusual delay which declared to have been unfit
for use from the beginning?
The public not heard anything about reimbursing
the United losses of this kind True there
some talk about the packing replacing certain
Havana But there been anything to indicate
that that or any other found unfit for consumption
replaced.
Since boards of inquiry seem to be very generally IN
vogue days. why would it not be good idea to con-
yene one to inquire just much if Of the cost Of
this beef should be remtted to the United States

AT NIGHT.

Gently blows the evening breeze,
Laden with the roses scent,
Hidden now behind the trees
Ends the sun its steep descent.
From the sky SO blue and far
Comes the night and many. a star
Shining in the far azure;
Shall preserve the morn secure
Roses sweet along our way
Nodded meekly all the day,
Envying the height where shine
Countless stars of light divine.
Higher than that boundless space.
Maiden, one of them I place
On thy bosoms mystic grace,
Still below thy blushing face
From the vacant airs the dew
Falls on leaves of grass and trees;
Naught disturbs the heavens blue:
All Is calm and all is peace,
So sublime is all we see;
In this pause 1t seems to me
God has planned mid angels mirth
To immortalize the earth.
