The women nurses and the SOL
diers, the former in attendance and
the latter under treatment at army
hospitals in Alaska have come near
starving to death on the allowance
which was permitted under the
law at 30 cents a ration. The mill
tary authorities in the territory
have reported that the allowance is
altogether inadequate and does not
begin to furnish funds to buy food
to sustain those to wnom it is is
sued by the government. 1t will
be necessary to make an exception
on the part of the nurses and the
soldier patients, and to this end
the regular army ration has been
sanctioned by the secretary of
war-an action he may take by vir-
tue of statute and service regula-
tons in cases of such emergencies
as exist in Alaska. The problem
comes about through the high
price of food in the territory, es-
pecially at the army posts, and
notably at Fort Gibbon.
