AbIg UOO0s
Tampa, Fla, June 29.-The special be-
ing sent out from Tampa to the effect that
there is a great deal of sickness here are
absolutely untrue,
This statement is not made simply in a
'spirit of contradiction but is made from
"a positive knowledge of The actual condi-
Stion.
This knowledge is gained from conversa-
tien with army surgeons, local physicians
and from daily association with the SOL
Ndiers, visiting them at all of their camps
and having the, freedom of the camp hos
pitfalls.
Last week the hospital train left Tampa
for Atlanta with ninety-five patients for
the hospital there. This was the total
number of sick people who were collect
ed from a total of 1900 men. That train
returned TO this city Saturday night and
lis practically with nothing to do. 1t is
on side track here simply waiting.
