Some of them take hold readily enough. Some do very well and some not so well.” General Dodge—“When you saw that a man was inefficient, did you report that fact te your superior officer?” Colonel Lee—“*Men must learn; they must have time to learn before you can see if they are efficient. They are confronted with another kind of life from that which they have been living. They did the best they could. I do not know a single instance in which these appointees were not gentle- men and some of them showed exceptional ability.” General Dodge—“Do you think the civil appointees made as rapid progress in this war as similar appointees made in the civil war?” Colonel Lee—‘No, because in the last war the men went into active campaign while we were in camps. ‘The active cam- paign develops men very quickly.” Ex-Governor Woodbury—I understood you to say there was no suffering caused on account of the inexperience of these men?” Colonel Lee—“I do not think I answered that question directly. I do not think that suffering arose from the inexperience of these men. The suffering came from other causes."” Why Troops Saffered. Dr. Conner—“What were these causes, in your judgment?” Colonel Lee—“Suffering in a majority of cases arose from a lack of knowledge of how to take care of themselves in camp, to begin with, and, secondly, from the free- dom that was given the men in the use of harmful things, such as the stuff that was brought into camp and sold to them in the shape of pies, and particularly the large quantities of beer brought into the camp.
