CHIEF COMMIssARY's REPORT.
Transportation In South Philippines
!, Pulling Question.


WASHINGTON. D. c., October 24.-The
annual report of General John F.. Weston,
chief commissary of the army. says: THE
question of transportation is the most
difficult and important one which has to
be dealt with just now, and this is par
ticularly true with regard to the Depart
ment of the South Philippines. While it
is recognized that there are difficulties
incident to the situation, the fact 1'nains
that lack of adequate and satisfactory
transportation facilities is the cause OF
just and endless complaint, and brings
criticism and odium on lne Subsistence
Department for matters over which it has
no control, but which concern it.
