there is not some way to stop the

sent to the Philippines, and rev
months after sent to Hawaii. IL
seems to me that this is causing I'M
necessary expense and should not be
permitted and should be limited IN

not be burdened by unnecessary
movement Of troops in time OF peace,
the expense of which Is unwarrant-

from Camp Funston to Camp Meade
there was expended for passenger
fare $4,000 and for freight $446,-

of fixing up the camps at Camp PIKE
