DISEASED BLANKETS.
FIXING THE BT.AMTf. Franc Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, May 25. Tha 'Daily Maff’ says that the sale of infected blankets is due to some War Office official in Cape Town committing a twofold breach of the regulations, one of which prescribed the destruction of bedding IDJy to be infectious. The War Office has cabled inquiries, and will deal summarily with the matter. .The ‘Daily Telegraph’s’ Cape Town correspondent asserts that the chief shipments were made by a.Jewish commercial agent, who purchased them in the ordinary course from the Imperial authorities. Large guactities were burnt, but others were disinfected and sold after the bulk had been scoured. The ‘ Daily Chronicle ’ strongly accuses the War Office of negligence in connection with the sales.
