though six hundred men had been en-
ployed at one time ON the roads.
In response to query from Captain
Howell, General Boynton said the only
typhoid fever in the camp was brought in
from the outside. The volunteers were To-
Gated In the wooded portion of the park,
but the wood was only sufficient for shade.
It was not q dense forest and could easily
be penetrated by the sunshine.
General Boynton asserted that the camp
was not crowded. The sinks were from
thirty to ninety feet from the tents, but
in some instances the kitchens were rot
further than twenty feet from the sinks.
Much of the kitchen offal was burned.
Typhoid fever In the camp did not excite
serious attention until July, when the cases
averaged about two per thousand. 1t aft
erward increased until there were about
400 cases among the $4,000 men. The fever
in all cases had been Of mild character.
At one time, after measles broke out In
the camp, the hospitals were crowded.
though he did not think such had been the
case at any other time. Practically all
the sickness was among the volunteers.
The regulars were not sick.
General Brooke's orders allowed two men
out of each company to visit Chattanooga
a day, which would permit the absence Of
about 1900 men. He deprecated the fact
that the army regulations permitted the
canteen system. He had never seen such
efficiency in the supply departments of the
army In the field as in the case OF Camp
Thomas. There was no lack OF rations. and
the rations were all good. The variety
was equal to- that supplied by family gro
oery. Each man had a loaf Of bread daily.
Fresh meats were supplied. Sometimes
some of the meat was spoiled. but as a rule
It was good He believed that there was
more food left over every day than the
Army OF the Cumberland had for Its entire
Chattanooga campaign.
General Boynton spoke In special COM
mendat ton of the Young Mems Christian
association tents. which he said were the
best thing In the service. On the other
hand, he condemned the outside drinking
houses.
