DISHONESTY IN ARMY POSTS
Maior.General Grant Recommends
That They Be Managed by
z Civilians.

Washington. - The revelation OF
Irregularities in some of the post
exchanges in the department Of the
east during the fiscal year, which
ended recently, has caused Maj.-Gen-
Frederick D. Grant to recommend to
the war department that post ex-
changes be placed in the hands of CT
villains.
Bad management and dishonesty
has been disastrous to two post ex-
changes. he says. causing the loss OF
funds and the trial of one officer and
several enlisted men. He attributes
the trouble primarily to the fact that
the army officers, occupied with mill
tary duties, are unable to give the ex-
changes the proper attention.
