REMOVAL MIGHT MAKE TROUBLE.
Much consideration has been given dur
ing the last month to the project Of with
drawing the troops from Texas. nota-
bly, those who compose the I'd Division,
in camp at Texas City. under the com
mand Of General William II. Carter. The
officers attached TO that command protest
loudly concerning the discomforts they
are enduring. The weather is trying and
the surroundings are far from pleasant
In time Of rain the camp is badly flooded.
The men are discontinued and the de-
sertions are far above the usual percent
age. More than that and OF real serious
ness is the refusal Of soldiers discharged
at Texas CITY TO re-enlst. Many OF these
have returned to their homes. and are
conducting campaign which seriously
interferes with enlistments.
Secretary Garrison has called for re-
ports explaining the excess Of desertions.
