In the event that Colonel Ryan, who

army as such, is found to be unfit to
hold that grade. It was said tonight
that, he probably will be demoted to the
rank which he held in the regular army

tober and had received advancement to
the rank of major in the regular army
last summer. While a captain of ar

hold reserve commissions were merely
'placed on the active list.
Three Majors May Follow

' for the board was not given out for pub

ordered before it."
With one exception every man or
dered before the board .has been placed
on. the inactive list and returned home,
Nine first lieutenants and 13 second have
been examined and have failed to be
kept In active service. The one captain
ordered before the board was retained
in service but given two weeks' sick
leave.

Washington. Jan- 25. (I. X. S.)
Secretary of War Baker Thursday au
thorised Immediate investigation into
the case of a soldier alleged to have
died at .an army cantonment without
notice being given his family, and whose
naked dead body is -said to have been
found by the soldier's father on the
floor of a hospital ward-
A letter from the boy's father detail
ing the circumstances was read on the
floor of the senate Thursday afternoon
by Senator Chamberlain In his reply to
the president.
Other Cases Reported
Announcing the investigation. Secre
tary Baker said:
"This is not a singular case, I may
say. There have been other similar
cases reported to me. In each case
there has been a prompt investigation.
Of course It has been Impossible to
gather over a million men without in
cidents of this kind."
it has been .impossible to secure
trained medical attendants, he con
tinued. "Had these men been taken ill
while at home they would have been
cared for in most cases by their moth
ers, sisters or wives. Taken ill at the
camps, they had, of course to be taken
care of by employes.
"It must be remembered in Judging
these incidents that the army had to
get' the nurses and hospital attendants
without stripping the regular hospitals
of the country. It has been difficult
for even the regular Institutions to get
help. But in each case where there has
been obvious neglect pt patients there
will be rigid investigation."
Mr. Baker refused to comment directly
upon Senator Chamberlain's speech ex
cept In this one instance. He said that
he is to go before the house military
affairs committee on Saturday and will
there make a full detailed statement and
submit himself to any questions that
may be asked.
He insisted that it was not proper
for him at this time to comment upon a
speech made by a senator on the floor.
It was made clear to the secretary,
however. Just what impressions of the
Chamberlain speech were going forth,
and he consented to dlseuss the condi
tions revealed without reference to the
fact that they had been told on the floor
of the senate.
Clothing shortages, he indicated, had
been entirely made up in many in
stances. '
