Of charge. 1t is explained further by
eminent local physicians, that there is
little chance of illness as result of vac

with the risk of death or a lengthy illness
from smallpox. the doctors seem aston
ished that any one should object TO the
operation. They say there have been
cases where permanent injury resulted
from vaccination, but that was in by
gone days when the process Was not so
thoroughly understood as it is at present.
Many people are not waiting for the
school board 10 pass the compulsory vac
cination resolution. The medical men
said yesterday that they had been doing
an unprecedented amount of work in this

them are made i'll they viii have time to

Capt. Frank D. Baldwin In Salt
Lake.
SIDES WITH THE BOERS
SAYS THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR
LIBERTY.
As Liberty-loving Man He is Con-
WINGED Of the Justice of Dom
PauPs Position-United States
Army Is Now Below It's Former
Standard Of Efficiency.

A distinguished guest of the Ken
Baldwin. inspector general of the
United States army. who is here TO in
spect Fort Douglas. Captain Baldwin
arrived yesterday and his duties will
keep MIN all next week. In speaking
yesterday of his duties he said:
Army Not Up to Grade.
81 find that the army is far below its
efficiency of two years ago, before the
commencement of the Spanish war. AT
that time the United States army was
one of the finest in the world. This
deterioration in efficiency is not, how
ever, due to any lack of enthusiasm or
natural ability on the part of our Off
GERS and soldiers, but is caused by
overwork of both.
Here at Fort Douglas. as you know,
where there should be a full regiment
of men you have single company
only. All the posts throughout the
country are proportionately manned,
numerically speaking, and it is impos-
sible for so few men to keep their posts
in order and at the same time continue
the drill work prerequisite to thorough
and perfect efficiency.
Youngsters in Command.
Most of our posts are commanded by
young officers who are enthusiastic in
their duty and who would keep up the
old degree of efficiency provided the
posts were sufficiently garrisoned."
Speaking of the war between the
English and Beers in the Transvaal,
Captain Baldwin said:
We'll. my government has made no
declaration in the matter, but l suppose
can express a personal opinion. I am
in sympathy with the Beers for the
reason that they are fighting for their
liberty as did the Americans. 1 am a
liberty-loving man and therefore think
the Beers are in the right
