CAMP WIKOFF,

MCntauk Point, N Y, September .. 1S9S.
There is plenty of work cut out for the
citizens of Washington when the regiment
returns to its home. While the men are
improving every day IN appetite and ap-
pearance, and those in the hospital are
nearly all on the mend. yet there is hardly
man in the regiment who will not feel
the effects from his experience in Cuba for
many a day.
The systems of the men are run down, -,
They are impregnated with malaria. and it
will take a lorg series of nursing to bring
them back to the point of health necessary
for the hard struggle of life. This is going
TO be especially severe the men In the
regiment who when they return to Wash
ington are going to find themselves with
cut employment. There is probably
larger number of men in the regiment who
have no certainty to look forward to in the
way of work than the people of Washing
ton have any idea of.
When the call for service came these men
nearly all gave up profitable places and
followed the flag. without much thought
of what they would do when the war was
over. Many of these men have families,
and when the mastering out day comes
serious problem will confront them. Moth
ing has been as gratifying to the officers
and men as the knowledge that the citi-
zens' committee at home going to take
up the subject of obtaining employment
for the men in the regiment. The fact that
tie surplus Of the fund raised by the Even
ing Star would be used for this purpose,
and for giving relief to the families IN
reed has been praised everywhere
throughout the camp. The men are hope
full that the regiment will be taken care of
in this practical way. and their hopes
should he realized n
a general idea of the condition after mus
tering out can be obtained from the state
ment that Of the men in camp 2s1 10
not know certainly of any employment they
can obtain.
This does rot include the 80 men of the
regiment who are in the hospital. The fol-
Lowing list by companies. of men who gave
up positions to serve in the war, and who
have no employment to go to upon their re-
turn, will be interesting, and will afford a
basis for the committees and people of
Washington to work on. The names Of the
men are given, with their occupations:
