cement.

When the House OF Commons
went inte Committee Of Supply, on
the supplementary vote for the army
medical service, introduced fer the
purpose Of debating the charge si
hospital mismanagement in South
Africa, made by Mr.. Burdett- -Coutts,
I conservative, the Parliamentary
Secretary of the War Office, Mr..
George Wyndham, briefly presented
the governments defence.
Allegations as to neglect Of the
sicl and wounded were franSly ad-
mittea tc be true to a lamentable
extent. Tne men were exposed, he
said, to terrible hardships, but it was
not due to ary stinting Of supplies,
but ts the insuperable difficulties of
distributing supplies, Of which there
had been an embarrassing a"cumul-
atiOn in South Africa.
Every demand on the govern
m0nt in behalf Of the troops, he con.
tinued, had been complied with. The
officials in South Africa said the
hospitals had beds in excess Of the
demands. There Were 5000 beds
in Natal and $4,000 in Cape Colo
ny. There were in South Africa,
466 army and 44O civilian medical
officers and 566 female and 5668,
male nurses, besides the doctors and
nurses engaged locally.
Mr.. Wyndham contended that to
have given a true impression of the
state Of affairs existing Mr.. Burdett-
Coutts should have painted a COM
panion picture, showing the Difficult
ties encountered in supplying TO-
600 troops on the march, which was
carried out practically under the
conditions of huge flying column.
The single line ofrailroad, scith bridg
es broken, ne asserted, had to carry
1.O29 tons daily by order Of Lord
Roberts.
The army Mr.. Wyndham further
remarked, should not starve or be
defeated. He conclude with con-
tending that Mr.. Burdett Ooutts
picture rested on the fallacy that

a hospital, whereas during the who
le period referred to Lsrd Roberts,
TANKS and communications were
threatened and actions daily occur.

Mr.. Burdett. Coutts replied that
he repeated the c.arges already
known, and declared that a single

portant. Many residences occupied
by officers, he said, might have been
taken for the use of men who were
dying. But, presumably, they were
not taken because no medical equip

His whole point was that Great
Britain was unprepared. He thought

an individual, but with the system,
