Single Out Men.
Injustice Might Result From
Individual Action.

Washington. May 2S.-Army officers
and privates who played an important
part in fighting the fire and relieving
the starving and suffering in San Fran
cisco, viii not be singled out for special
praise by the war department. It is
contrary to the policy of the army to
mark few men for individual COM
mendation unless their service be such
that it demands instant recognition.
Generals Funston and Greedy and
their assistants were so busily engaged
at the time of the California disaster
that they had no time to pay attention
to reports of. heroic deeds by soldiers
and to make recommendations.
The general praise of the troops and
officers of the army is believed by the
war department to be preferable to an
attempt at individual commentator
which might work injustice to many
deserving officers and men whose hero
ism was unknown to the department.
