Cameron, Texas, Oct. 2l,-That
the camp physician visits the camp
regularly only on Sundays, and then

scriptionS in most cases are com
pounded by the picket guard for the
first time under the direction of the
physician, and afterward without
that direction, We're admitted by the
kins farm, near Cameron, and this
proved to be one of the most start
ling revelations that has yet been
made to the subcommittee of the

tonics and quinine are the medicines

1t was declared by the physician that
a good supply OF surgical dressings
was kept on the farm, and that 1t
was only in unusual cases that he
found it necessary to send a pres
cription to Cameron to have 1t filled.
Only one case of serious illness had
come under his treatment at the
farm. the doctor said He has been
the active physician only since

in the main bunkhouse with all the
other conyicts, where the ventilla-
ton and sanitation proved to be the
very poorest; sleep on hard, dirty
beds, and are forced many times to
eat the same diet which the working
men eat On the day they visited the
farm they saw the sick men eat boil

house, and this prevented the night

many have signed q farreaching agree:
ment concerning Morocco, thus ban.
ishtng a specter which for years has
loomed up internationally as the cause
of strained relations between the two
countries. OF more Importance, still,
perhaps, than the actual settlement of
pending difficulties and the harmonic
ing Of views concerning Morocco is
the moral effect of establishing a
broad basis of friendly relations be-
tween two nations which have been
separated, SO to speak, since the war
of 1870. ii
The agreement guarantees the in
tegrity of Morocco and insures per-
feet. allegiance to the terms of the
Algeciras act. France recognizes Ger
many's economic interests in Moroc-
co, while Germany recognizes the
particular political interest of France
there.
A striking coincidence Is found in
the fact that this agreement was
signed at the moment of the arrival IN
Berlin of King Edward, particularly
as there Is a strong inclination in dip
Iomatic quarters to consider the i'm
lrovement of Franco-Ge German relations
as n of the objects of this visit.
