A rm y Iln le t < o n a tu u ily traded o fficer» a n d F r ie n d » by It Is reported from Washington that the war department Is renewing its efforts to restrict the use o f the trans ports to officers and soldiers o f the army. Similar reports have vreached us before. They make periodic ap pearances, hut tiie transports continue to he tilled with civilians, Junketing political personages and the sisters, the cousins and the aunts o f officers and men, not to mention their wives, children and servants, while the young subalterns continue to be thrust into the cramped quarters ’tween-deek-to accommodate persons who never wear epaulettes or shoulder muskets. The war department has not yet had the hardihood to deny openly that fam ilies of officers are entitled to free transportation across the seas, but It tries to limit the size of the families, not Infrequently with amusing results. Not many months ago an Infantry cap tain applied for transportation for hls wife, two sisters and children. The allowance o f sisters was cut down one half, only one being given accommoda tions. However, he managed to ring In the rejected sister as the nurse to hls child. This shrewd solution of the problem looked lovely and everybody was happy until on arriving on board the transport It was found that, while the w ife and other sister were given cabin staterooms the nurse sister was assigned to the steerage quarters with the wives o f enlisted men. Horrible! The roar that arose was heard 'way up Folsom street. The throats o f both sexes were taxed to express their hor ror and Indignation. The quartermas ter captain was at once summoned and a lively protest made. Of course, the story eame out then and the fact that the alleged nurse was really a brother officer's fair sister traveling In dis guise was Impressed upon the perplex ed quartermaster captain, who for a time took refuge In a quiet stateroom to think out the situation. It was Anally patched up In some way and both sisters taken to Manila, but the nurse trick was not attempted again by that family, although It has been successfully worked at other times. Another officer with a w ife and two sisters had a less fortunate experience only a few days ago. He had been or dered to the Philippines on special duty. Hls application for hls w ife and two sisters to accompany him was frowned upon. He thereupon wrote to the authorities, saying that hls poal- tlon, being on special duty, was not akin to that o f those proceeding under routine orders or routine duties. He was In a class by himself, etc. Back from Washington came a telegram Just before the vessel sailed giving author ity for the tw o sisters to accompany the officer, but directing that the wife would have to be left behind!— San Francisco Argonaut.
