Bitter Feelings
Hints that the controversy was an
outsrowth Of the recent Army
furore over the elevation Of Col.
Stephen Q. Fuqua to the chief of
infantry, which carries with it the
grade of major general, were dissi-
pated by War Department officials.

sometime there has been criticism
of the mess and the way it was
run, and. recently. it has reached

about at the post. according to re-
ports. Some bitter feelings were
engendered among the officers.
General Ely for some time has
been endeavoring to improve the
quality of the food and service. 1t
has been a difficult task because
