LIVE NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
How the Army Was Robbed.

Mail from Manila brings the repor'
Of General Macarthur upon the investl
CATION made as to the alleged connection
of Colonel Woodruff and other regular
commissary officers with the frauds il
the Commissary Department. This re-
Port cxonerates Colonel Woodruff, but
blames others.
1t appears from the official report:
that Colonel Woodruff had set on foot
an investigation of the irregularities ano
especially those relating to the sales OF
commissary supplies, before the arrlya
of Major West The latter began an IN
dependent investigation.
When Major West became depot com
mssary he found lax state of affairs
There were several large warehouses
mostly in charge of commiSsary ser
gcants, and there was no way OF holding
these commissioned officers respon
sible for the property under their charge
Major West decided to take an inyento!
before proceeding with other business
but found this almost impossible, be
cause individual stock books for eaci
warehouse had not been kept under Tx
former management.
As large quantities of goods were BE-
ing sent out from each warehouse daily

tie goods to persons to whom they haF
previously been sold by some other in
dividual in the conspiracy and the money
would be divided pro rata among the
men engaged in the scheme. Laxity OF
methods by Major Davis, the former de
pot comnrissary, and Captain Read, it Is
charged allowed the system to go on.
Major West in reporting the general
conditions recommended that commits
stoned officer be placed in charge of each
warehouse and held responsible for the
property.
1t is stated that the men who en-
gagged in irregularities expected to cover
the losses by boards of survey, which
would report certain losses of stores, but
fix no responsibility.
