II is not to be wondered at that the
volunteer soldiers are getting listless
and impatient. Not infrequently let
tiers from camp express the wish to
90 somewhere and do something for
Uncle Sam or else be mustered ont.
Their friends at home echo the com
plant and local newspapers write edi-
torials in criticism Of the administra-
ton. All such talk is unwise.
Neither the private nor his family are
in position to know the needs OF the
government or to judge what is the
best disposition to make Of the array,
or whether an army is needed at all,
as are the president and his advisors.
Patriotism is not only love OF country
IN the abstract, it is willingness to
support and sustain those on whom
the responsibility to maintain peace
and order rests To obey orders
cheerfuEy and uncomplainingly is a
soldiers first duty. No doubt every
boy in the volunteer army would.
without hesitation, obey any proper
order on the field Of battle even
though it took him into the very
thickest of the fight. 1t is hard for
some Of the boys, though, to realize
that it is just as patriotic and Just as
honorable TO serve Uncle sam in one
capacity as another. and that when
duty commands the humdrum ofcamp
life it is as surely the soldiers bust
ness to obey as though the order were
TO take battery. The virtue Of obed-
fence is not as highly regarded as it
should be by American youth and
possibly a little more military disei-
pine will De beneficial in the develop

DEATHS ATT CAMP THOMAS.

" They Kuna he red 1AS.

22 They Kpmbered 1913.
General H. v. Beynton in his report upon
the state of affairs III the hospitals at
camp Thomas, Chickamauga says:
Believing the death Hist of this camp
to afford an excellent standard by which
TO measure Its conditions as to health and
hospital service. a. fun report was OBJ
tanned Of all deaths In the camp and in its
hospitals since its; establishment the mid
ole OF April last. The result shows total
death list of 1893 Eup t6 the 22d Of this
month, when the breaking up Of this camp
began. Between these dates, including
regulars and volunteers, fully 10000 troops
nave been in camp in the Chickamauga
Park. The record of burials in the national
cemetery at Chattanooga shows total of
~ volunteers and two regular soldiers.
" tho latter, one of these was killed by
ialhne from railway train.
In Closing his report General Boynton
says:
1 Deg leave to express my opinion that
most of the interviews with chaplains, regi-
mental surgeons and others, both officers
ana men, now appearing at the north in
many OF the newspapers in regard to this
camp, are reckless and false except as to
tne hithy conditions. which their own Grim
maj neglect has caused In my Judgment
tne recent increase in the outcrtes against
water and the persistent assertion that the
park is unhealthy have been largely and
oeIlberately used to stir up sentiment and
tnnuence. which would be exerted to insure
their relief from service
