In December German official state

Marvellous That

Looking back over the official reports
in the cool and Ynpreiudiced light of
seventeen years afterward one marvels
that anything was accomplished by the
army In Cuba There had been nearly
two months for preparation when TIE
expedition sailed from Tampa To be
sure the transports were bad. There
were no ships built for TRANSPORTING
troops. and those charted by the quar-
terniaster general had to be refitted spe-
cially for the service. There was not
sufficient time to do that properly, and
the result was bound to be overcrowding
and discomfort for the men in insan-
itary SURROUNDINGS. Those hardships
were not for long, however. and were
by no means insuportable.
There were things much worse
which were absolutely ineXcusable.
and the continuance OF which was due
solely to the ineftlciency of the com
