"A HELL ON EARTH"
Chaplain Dooley on the Horrors of
Camp Thomas.

The following Is part OF an inter
view with the Rev. Father Dooley,
Chaplain OF the eighth New York
Regiment, which was at Chicka-
manga: Camp Thomas became a hell
upon earth. The entire department
system is at fault. Men died like dogs
in Camp Thomas. The i'll, poor fellows
burning with typhoid fever were com,
PEELED to lie sometimes for twenty
four hours upon the ground before
attention was given them by the over
worked hospital attendants.
The water was simply rotten, and to
this cause may be traced all the sick
ness that prevailed in the camp. How
criminal that condition Of affairs was
may be appreciated when it is known
that an adequate supply of pure water
would have cost the government $50,
GOO, and to save that amount, scores
Of brave mcn were compelled to yield
up lnel lives on DeuS or rackbng FEVER.
1t is a national disgrace.
Another great disaster came upon
us when the force in camp was increa.
sed from 10000, all that it is capable
of holding, to 10000 men. The re-
suit OF this overcrowding was to add
to the odds in favor of the disease. e.
"As for the daintics which Secre-
tary Of War Alger has spoken Of you
may say that they did not come OH
way. There were no dainties for the

"Men died alone and neglected in
their tents and their bodies were moi
discovered until the stencil called at
toption to them"
