II. The site was low and the men we're
moved when the rainy season began.
Captain Barker was followed by Col.
Curtis Guild, Jr., inspector general Of the
corps. Col. Guild said he had been
on duty in Jacksonville since June l.
He said he had made it his business to
make an early morning inspection Of the
camp each day with regard to sanitation
and he knew this had been the custom Of
others in his department.
In the beginning there was a lack OF
government supplies for these institu-
tions. But the deficiency had been sup
piled by the Red Cross. The witness
testified to the devotion of the medical
department.
Col. Guild said that he had never found
a case of deprivation due to the failure
of the government to furnish proper sup
plies. He was also unable to recall any
case, in which there had been any suffer
ing in a hospital on account of neglect,
and was satisfied that all practicable had
been done. Asked if he was still of the
opinion that there would have been a
shortage of supplies for the sick but for
the great acvitity of the Red Cross Col.
Guild said he had changed his opinion
somewhat, as he had since learned that
steps might have been taken to secure
government supplies, but he was still Of
the opinion that there would have been
delay.
