BLACKS INVESTIGATION. "a
New York's Governor Is Satisfied with
the Volunteer Camps.

pAo NoAuhtooT SHulDSs
Washington. Sept.3.-Governor Frank
8. Black and party of New York, ar
rived in Washington late yesterday
afternoon from southern trip. during
which they visited the mobilization
camps at Chickamauga Park. Lexing-
tion. KY. and Huntsville. Ala. AS a re-
suit of his invest cation he will sug-
eest to the war authorities that the
Ninth and Fourteenth New York regi-
t3ents. located at Chickamauga, be re-
Iieved from service as soon as possible.
ihe Twelfth New York, located at Lex
, inEton. and the Sixty-ninth New York,
located at Huntsville, are In excellent
condition. and while the men of both
regiments would be glad to receive an
order mastering them out. there is no
pressing need. In the opinion of Cover
nor Black, for their. leaving the service
at this time. 1t Is also likely that Gov
Black will suggest that the Third New
York. now at Camp Meade. Pa, also be
mustered out.
THE conditions Of the camps we
visited" said Governor Black, In cpl
tomizing the results of his trip, "were
better really than l had expected to
fad Them: that is. they were better
than they had been pictured in the
newspaper reports l had read before
visiting the camps. Many things,
doubtless, could be remedicd, but on
the whole. the camps we found to be
not In bad condition. The camp at
.Chickamauga is the worst of the three.
IL such a comparison may be made.
That has been occupied for four
months By many thousands of troops.
and the very ground has become In
fectcd with disease
with good. pure water in abundant
supply, and such food as l know the
men in the camps visited are receiv-
ing. there Is no reason in the world why
well man should not continue in good
health and actually thrive. The food
furnished the trocns is ample and of
excellent quality. That the food Is good
end well cooked know, because ate
some Of 1t myself"

ANGLO-GERMAN ALLIANCE.
A Report That Germany Has Secured
Rights In Syria.

A Report Tint Germany Has Secured
Rights In Syria.
London. Sept. 3.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette says 1t has received from a source
in which 1t has every confidence in
formation that the Ango-German
agreement was signed this week by Mr..
Balfour and the German ambassador in
behalf of the respective powers. The
Pail Mall Gazette says that, while the
agreement is restricted. 1t embraces an
offensive and defensive alliance In GER
tain eventualties.
The Pail Mall Gazette then quotes
the speech which Mr.. Chamberlain.
made at Birmingham on May 10 last,
bidding for German alliance and con-
tinues: "Latterly 1t has been evident,
from the tone of the semi-oflicial Ger
man press, that the two governments
have been drawing closer, and finally
there were prolonged conferences be-
tween Count HatZfeldt and MIR. Balfour.
The departure Of Count Hatzfeldt
proves that the object Of the consula-
ton has been achieved. Besides, Mr..
Chamberlain has gone to America,
Lord Salisbury is prolongng his alb
sence, and MIR. Balfour leaves for his
holidays today. Evidently the minis
ters do not expect to have to deal with
crucial questions Of foreign policy"
