CARE OF ARMY IS
ENORMOUS TASK
Quartermaster General Reports
His Force Inadequate to Per-
form Its Duties.

Washington, Nov. 22.-General G. j..
Humphrey, quartermaster general, in
his annual report to the secretary Of
war, says the enormous amount OF work
involved in meeting the needs of the
army can be hardly comprehended by
any one not in close touch with the
service. Continuing he says:
This work, which would tax the best
ability and energies of q force nnmeri-
cally strong enough to permit OF giving
it proper official attention at all points,
has been made ,doubly onerous because Of
the inadequate number of quartermasters
now provided by law and the greatly de-
pleted civilian force in the quartermaster
generals office.
So important is the matter Of the eff
ficient and expeditions transaction OF
business In this office, and so embarrassed
has the office been of late because OF
a constantly decreasing force, long since
reduced in numbers below what is abso-
lutely necessary actually to prevent the
great volume Of work from falling in ar
rears, that the QuartermaSter general
strongly recommends some increase IN his
clerical force and earnestly urges early

mendation in the interest Of the proper
