london July .---The war Office
aass Issued correspondence with Lord
Roberts regarding the charges Of Mr..
Burdett-contts.- On June his ntten-
lion was called In brief kilograms to
,he allegations and also to other COM
plaints of q general breakdown in tho
hospital system. Two days later he
sePlied in part as follows:
1.-The principal medical officer re-
ported that arrangements MT Kroon-
stRdt were in all respects in good or
der and lord Methuen said they were.
thoroughly satisfactory. I was deep
" depressed at being unable to make
suitable arrangements for the sick on
our first arrival at Kroonstadt, but It
snffering is insepernhle from the rapid.
advance OF a large army into an enc
smy's country"
Lord Roberts that disquieting reports
regarding the hospital were accumu-
and asked him II anything
could be done, and particularly.
whether more nurses were needed. On
Jnne Is Lord Roberts replied, saying
that he did not wish to shirk respon-
sibility, or to screen the shortcomings
Of the medical corps and he suggested
\ committee of inquiry. He said there
had been an abnormal number of sick
at Bloe1nfontcin, due to the exhaust
Ing nature of the march and the ter
irible u%nsanitary condition of the camp
at Paardcbnrg, where the only water
available for drinking flowed from the
camp higher mp, where the river
vas crowded with decomposing ani-
mails md also with considerable
number of wounded after the fight on
March 10.
To improvise accommodations at
Bloemfontein for such n number,
which had become 1000 before he left
iBloemfontein, was no ensy task, said
Lord Roberts. No tents were carried
and the public buildings had to be
turned into hospitals. In three
months there had been $500 admis-
sions to the hospitals, of patients suf-
tfering from enteric fever, while the
deaths numbered 1870, about 81 per
cent.
Lord Roberts observed that he did
not know whether this would be an
abnormal rate in civil hospitals in
peace times, but If the rates were alb
normal it was due to tie exhausted
state of the men and not to the neg.
|lect OF the medical corDs.

A recent visitor to Constantinople
which causes a vast deal Of trouble
and confusion. This is the Turkish
system Of reckoning time: A Turk
holds TINT the day begins exactly Mt
and watches at the hour of IL. As5the
sun has the same habits in presiding
over Turkey that he exercises with re-
gard to other localities, 1t may easily
be seen that this system of reckoning
time necesitates setting the clocks
every day. 1t appears that a watch,
which could run for weeks without
losing or gaining a minute would be
of no special value to n Turk.
