existing Jan. 10 was sent by Secretary
Baker to the Senate military commit
tee Thursday soon after Senator Cham
berlain made his speech in the Senate
replying to President Wilson's denunci
alton of his criticism of the war depart
ment In his speech Senator Chamber
lain referred 10 chart OF conditions on
Jan. /, recording many deficiencies which
the latter reports show no longer exist.
Secretary Baker said no statement
would be issued in answer to Senator
Chamberlain charges, remarking the
war department unable TO speak about
certain things" He did comment, how
ever, on several features of the speech.
In connection with letter read by
Senator Chamberlain telling of the death
of sick soldier under narrowing cir
cumstances at one of the camps, he said
several similar isolated cases had been
called to his attention, and that every
precaution possible TO prevent recur
renee had been taken.
As To the assertion that the surgeon
general was not consulted in selection
of camp sites, Mr.. Baker said every site
had been selected by a board consisting
of one medical officer, one engineer officer
and one line officer appointed by the de-
partmental commanders In only one
case was the suitability of the site ques-
toned on sanitary grounds, he added
Surgeon General Gorgas was then re.
quested TO send a specially selected san
tartan to look into the situation and the
of that officer was fol
lowed.
General Gorgas approved the original
design of cantonment barracks. Later,
after construction, in many cases, had
been well advanced, the secretary said,
the American Public Health association
brought to the attention of DR., Gorgas
that the space per man
allowed be increased and after confer
ences representatives of the association
approved the suggestion that additional
quarters be provided, reducing the mum |
Der of men per building so that construc- |
ton would be delayed as little as pos
sible and yet the space favored of fifty |
cubic feet per man be attained.

Mr.. Storrow declared yesterday.
Since his return here from New York
Thursday Mr.. Storrow has received ad
vices showing the coal movement from
the mines at Hampton Roads and from
Hampton Roads to eastern points, which
indicated, he said, that government re-
quirements soon would exhaust the sup.
ply at tide water.
THE normal coal consumption in New
England is 10000 tons daily" Mr. Stor-
row said. "and receipts to-day indicate
that New England is receiving about
one-fifth of its actual needs. Between
900 and ] POO cars should arrive by rail
daily, while we are receiving to-day only
62O, with practically none arriving by
water by which route ordinarily we re.
ceive two-thirds of our supply.

President Pearson of the New Haven
road, saying the tangle at Maybrook,

'The following figures show the total
OF coal received in New England during
the past three days: Jan. 20, ISL cars

General Gorgas TO tell of health condi-
tions at the army camps, the Senate
military committee yesterday resumed
its general war inquiry.

ditions at camps he had personally in

He added that not more than five men
should be housed in the 10 by 10 tents
used in National Guard camps. but that
he had seen as high as nine living in one
tent and had reports of twelve. Such
overcrowding for any length of time was
dangerous, he said, and partially respon.

Russia's Famous General Made Him
self a Popular Hero.

self Popular Hero.
General Korniloff is considered the
Quickest general In the Russian army.
The story OF his career reads like a
fairy tale.
Short OF stature, with a brAtling mus
tache, horniloff. who is a general OF
the Siberian cossacks. first became
known during the Russian retreat In
the Carpathians In 1915. Against des.
perate odds he held out with his diyi-
sion till he himself was taken prisoner
by the Tcutons. For several months
he was interned i'm Austria and had
very hard time there.
In 1916 he decided TO escape. Dis
guised as peasant, risking his life on
many occasions, he walked hundreds
OF miles across the Carpathians into
Roumania. When he finally arrived In
Russia he was greeted with unbounded
Joy by the army. His feat also made
him very popular with the entire ma
ton. This made 1t possible for him to
gain the great honor, Immediately after
the revolution, of being the first COM
mandant OF the revolutionary army at
Petrograd.
In this capacity he was dispatched to
Tsarskoe- Selo to arrest the czarina.
The scene that followed his arrival at
the residence OF Nicholas Romanoff on
March II has become historic.-New
