Camp of First Division, Seventh
Army Corps, Miami, Fla, July IS
The complaints which have resulted
from the largely increased sick lists
eliminated yesterday in a visit from
Lieutenant Colonel Maus, chief sur
geon Of this corps, who came down
from his headquarters in Jacksonville
las night for the purpose Of inquiring
into the sanitary conditions of this
camp. Accompanied by Major Appel,
chief surgeon of the First division,
he made thorough inspection yestcr-
day. and as result became convinced
that the conditions existing here at
present are by no means what they
should b..
The principal source of complaint has
been the water with which the troops
or at least part of them-have been
furnished during their stay here. AS
has already been explained, Il part Of
the water comes from standpipe,
which is supplied from springs back in
the Everglades. while what is known
as the surface water is pumped M
from only a few feet under ground.
But little fault has been found with
the standpipe water, as it has been
shown to the satisfaction of the s'lr-
geons that it is not nearly so bad as 1t
might be. 1t is the pump water which
is causing the trouble. 1t is claimed
that when the rain soaks down through
the sand and porous rock which COM
poses the soil in this region it carries
with is all the impurities which gath
er there and thus the infection is
transmitted to the systems of the sold
iers. Or at least that is the way the
local surgeons have figured it out
During the day Dr. Maus collected
samples of the two classes of wafer
from different parts of the camp, and
on his return TO Jacksonville he will
submit them to a thorough chemical
analysis for the purpose of ascertain
ing specifically what bacteria they CON
tain, if any, In the event that the
Complaints of the surgeons here are
borne out by the result of the inyeati-
CATION, DR.. Maus is on record as hav'
ing said, as has already been printed,
that he will Immediately recommend
the removal of the First division 10
Jacksonville, where the remainder of
the corps Is stationed.
When Miami was first mentioned as
a point of mobilization the war depart
ment sent General jim Wade down
here from Washington to investigate.
He reported that the place was an I'M
penetrable jungle, and that it was ABB
surd to even think of camping troops
here The attention paid to the report
was shown by the fact that within u
week after it was filed at Washington
two brigades of soldiers were sent here
