session. would be perfected either last
night or early today. / am now in

at the earliest, and that much OF the
work already done has been improperly
constructed, leaving the sanitary con
ditions practically unimproved.
am further informed that conditions
at the stables In the grove in the north
west corner of the camp are highly
unsanitary from causes already
brought to your attention and wholly
unrelated to the presence of soldiers,
but caused by the traspassing of city
employees and laborers, This situation
must not continue another hour.
These conditions present a very seri-

and you are hereby informed that un-

is always debatable.
"Of course, 1t is the duty OF the

ment to civil life, patterned after that
of the British government which secur-
ed employment for enlisted men re-
tiring from the army. has just been in
auSurated by the United STATES. 1t is
announced in pamphlet ISSUED to-day
by Adlutant General Mccain explaining
how the soldier may take advantage OF
lucrative offers provided he has demon
strated his efficiency for civil employ
ment during enlistment.
recruiting officers are named in
tWehty-three states through whom ap-
pllcatlon may be made for employment
The pamphlet emphasizes the fact that
the army offers exceptional advantages
to those who desire to fit themselves For
almost any line of vocational work 1t
also contains a long list of positions
scattered throughout the United States
in the flling of which former soldiers
VIII be given preference. Many of
these are state or municipal employ
a year
The list shows the city. the position
and the necessary qualifications as re-
ported by recruiting officers who gath
cred the data. The purpose of the
pamphlet is three fold: to attract the
best class of recruits, to disabuse the
public mind of the impression that the
army is refuge for those untitled for
other employment and to explain to
the soldiers how they may take full
advantage OF the vocational training in
the army provided in the reorganiza-
tion bill recently enacted.
Ihe booklet Is being supplied to all
throughout the country to induce re-
cruiting.
