.AN N"H
Now that Camp Alger no longer
exists and the $4,000 Volunteers
who were quartered ut Falls Church
near the National Capital have
been removed to camps in distant
States or have been ordered to their
homes as step preliminary to their
being mustered out Of the service, it
may be Of interest to the general
public to learn something of the
harvests that have been reaped by
the hucksters, fakirs, and others of
the so-called Scamp followers"
Notwithstanding the fact that the
gallant soldier boys, who in many
instances left good positions to ac-
cept meagersalary of $3.50 per
month and who were Tor months
subjected to the hardships incident
to camp life are doubtless happy to
be released; still with the camp fol-
lowers it is different. The distance
from the terminus of the electric
road station at Falls Church to the
camp was Il triHe less than three
miles, and to accommodate the i'm
mensc number of visitors who daily
visited the camp every conceivable
kind of vehicle was pressed into the
service. The unitom charge for
carrying passengers to the,camp was
20 cents person with additional
charge for baggage. The receipts
OF some Of the individual drivers of
vehicles aggregated asmuch rs 5000
week, and duriuga greater portion
OF the season about $50 rigs were
engaged in carrying passengers to
and from the camp. The camp was
a Godscnd to an army of takirs
whose stands were scattered along
the outskirts Of the camp, and in
some instances were located within
the lines Of the camp itself. There
were soda water stands, and stands
where every conceivable form OF
cheap novelty likely to interest on
amusc the soldier boys could be had
