This appropriation ws* to meet anr such emergency as flood or eyelone. With It exhausted the war depart, ment has no means at hand with which to provide relief. When Georgia was vlalted by the recent well remembered cyclone, a part of this appropriation went to the help of its needy. But the want In other states, and especially the con dltlons caused by the floods In Louisi ana, have completely exhausted the appropriation, and the war depart ment has Its hands tied by want of funds. Should the need In Georgia, as re sult of the flood, grow too exireme funds of the department might he used and congress asked to repay them. This will not he done, how ever, unless conditions grow most urgent. Because of Its lack of money, the department has not even ordered that an Investigation of conditions In Georgia and the adjoining states be made. INSULTED BY PRINTED LETTER.
