The Terrible Hamadryad.

There is only one beast that will

that is a snake
Moreover, it is the most terrible of

A bite from this reptile viii kin the
strongest man in two minutes, and Of
course there is no remedy. No one Bit

There are generally two hamadryads

them the other viii be on your track

taking ship across the sea there is no
way OF escaping unless you watch for
the snake and shoot it, Ii will follow

DIR. Hatch has recognized that Smith Green

which we may depend for the restoration Of
health and for the prevention OF disease and

by sad experience, that nine tenths OF an our

no matter how these impurities got into the

No matter whether the blood has become
poisoned through contact Win others suffering
from blood diseases, or whether il is a case
where these poisOns were inherited at time OF

is menace to health and life.

Eagan Must Apologize.

When the present inquiry into the
management Of the war was begun
assurance was given 10y the president
that witnesses would he protected
against persecution for evidence given.
This promise was called forth by the
manifest reluctance of men in subUr-
dinato position to volunteer testimony
which might arouse the malice of those
above them i'm rank. The investiGa-
tiun commission had no power to sum
mon persons or papers; it lacked the
authority to enjoin the taking of
uaths; it had no contempt prerOgative,
and So, to give scope to it's work this
assurance of exemption was announced.
It did not go very far TO fertilze the
inquiry, for while presidents come and
go, army animosities continue and none
but brave men risk the consequences
of exciting them.
Il is stated that COmmissary Gen
eral Eagan planned his coarse personal
assault on Commanding General Miles
with the idea that the presidents eX-
cmption would cover ii with privilege.
If this Is true the president must in
form him of his mistake, No plea of
privilege can eXonerate such Il venom
GUS breach Of discipline and good
breeding. The invited testimony of
General Miles, which was the melting
cause Of it, kept well within bounds.
Miles laid before the commission a
mass Of evidence showing the unfit
ness of much of the meat food sup
piled to the army and when asked how
this vile stuff came To be foisted on
the soldiers, referred them, as matter
Of course, to the secretary Of war and
the commlssary general, the officials
directly in charge of the purchasing
operations. He said in addition that
he had heard the beef had been tried
ON the army "ostensibly as an expert
ment," a remark that may or may
not have been indiscreet, but one GER
tainly not personally abusive or espec-
tally leveled at any individual. Miles
was evidently indignant that such a
disastrous experiment should have cost

WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE
BoASTED DISCIPLINE OF THE
REGULAR ARMY
Editor OF The Tribune.


Sir: Your editorial remarks on the
Eagan scandal cover the ground exactly.
But one is led to ask what has become of
the boasted discipline of the regular
army?
Whatever grievance General Eagan may
have had-if any; there was open to him
the regular military way of vindication
either by a court of inquiry or court mar
tial. No possible circumstances could
Justify such a cOld-bOoded. brutal and
passionate personal attack upon any
person either officer or private much less
upon the commander i'm chief The fact
that such breach OF discipline was cool
ly entered upon and delibartely commit
ted by the head of one of the admins
trative bureaus of our army, an officer
of high rank, indicates AN ominous lack
of that quality which is the very first es-
Sential to the efficiency Of an army
viz, discipline. What VIII be it's effect
upon subordinate officers? What it's nee
essary influence upon the rank and file
of the army? And what will foreign ma
tions say of the character of an army
i'm which such things occur?
Every veteran and every citizen vino
has at heart the welfare Of his country,
and who glories in the achievements OF
her armies, both regular and volunteer,
cannot but feel humliated at this terrible
scandal. +. l.. Hitchcock.
