Many mistakes made by an adminis-
tration during war timea can be con
doned by circumstances, but the ap
palling plague OF typhoid fever at
Camp Alger, Va, has all the appear
anco Of grave scandal for which tho
War Department can advance practi-
cally no excuse.
Tho reports OF Tuesday state that
two deaths from typhoid fever occurred
at this camp and that forty suspected
cusea were reported, in addition to fifty
men OF the One Hundred and Fifty
ninth Indiana, who show slight symp-
toms OF typhoid. OF the full compile
ment OF Company a, Twelfth Pennsyl.
yania only forty eight reported for
duty. Secretary Alger has decided to
abandon the camp, In accordance with
the Recommendations Of Surgeon Gem
ernl Sternberg. The troops will be re-
moved to Manassas, Va, where there
10 an abundance of watar and excellent
location for camp.
The most blamabls feature Of this sad
condition Of affairs Ia that it was pre-.
dicted almost from the time the troops
went into camp at this place. The
location of the camp was subjected to
criticism from the first, and it was
pointed out that the sanitary condi-
tions were OF a character to deliberately
invite fever epidemic. The change
of tho camp to another location WINS
frequently suggested, nut the suggea-
tion was ignored, and now the epidemic
is raging. The mischief having thus
been wrought, the camp is to be moved.
The Camp Alger calamity is surely a
criminal blunder, for which someone
ought to be held responsible. Each
death, and each case Of fever, hui
serve to increase the magnitude of the
crime, and should be used as a sound
reason for increasing the severity Of
tho punishment.
