The laboratory of the army and medical school has shipped since April 1 sufficient typhoid and paratyphoid vaccines to inoculate every man in the army. Throughout the process of making the vaccine is guarded against any contamination. It is then stored in sealed vessels in lok^ked refrigerators, to which only the "two officers in charge have keys, and none of these vessels is ever moved, except in company of one of the officers. In more than six months of largescale production not a trace of contamination has been found. One of the tests of the vaccines includes the inoculation of a mouse, a guinea pig, and a rabbit. If too much tricresol (a coal tar product used as a preservative and to kill the bacilli had been added, the mouse would be killed. Should tetanus germs be present both the mouse and guinea pig would be kill- j ed.

In a letter addressed to the President of Congress, just before Christmas, 1777, the commander-in-chief declared: "Since the month of July we have had no assistance from the quartermaster general. *** The soap, vinegar and other articles allowed by Congress, we seen none of, nor have we seen them, I believe* since the battle of Brandywine. The first, indeed, we have now little occasion for; few members having more than one shirt, many one the moiety-of one, and some none at all. * * * "We have by a field return this day made, no less than 2,898 men now in camp unfit for duty because they are barefooted and otherwise naked." Baron Steuben, who came to Valley Forge that winter to organize the wholly undisciplined army, said: "Accounts were never furnished or required. * * * The men were literally naked, some of them in the fullest extent of the word." G. W. Greene, in. the "Life of Nathaniel Greene," records; show "While Congress was deliberating upon the best way of procuring meat, the army jvas often brought to the verge of starvation for want of it. WThile Congress was discussing by the warm fire the most eligible methods of providing the army with tents and blankets, half of the army was sleeping on the snow without either blanket or tent. * * * "The first campaign demonstrated the necessity of providing by regularly organized departments for food, clothing and transportation of the army, but it was not until late in the second year that a board of war was organized and not until later still that the quartermaster general and the commissary general were allow| ed to devote themselves to their duty | in camp, instead of waiting idly for i orders at'the doors of congress." I It was Gen. Nathaniel Greene who ** 1 1 x ~ ? -3 ~ ? /mi4- ap ao in I nrsi Drougiu uiuci uui ui vnuuo m I the quartermaster general's depart| ment. His self-sacrificing assumption of the most burdensome responsibilities led Washington to urge him to take the office of quartermaster general as the one man who could be relied upon to establish and maintain an effective system.

He had to rely, of course, upon capable assistants, and chief among these was Charles Petit, who became \ assistant quartermaster general, and in this capacity served throughout the war although upon the resigna- j tion of Gen.
