Ii is understood that the
newspapers in the East have

writing stories of how the men
are being trented aud how sick

plenty.
The conditions along the Dor,

there is not the least possible

manga and Miami.
The army officials have done
everything in their power TO
make conditions such that there
is very little danger of serious
sickness in the camps. The
camps have been selected with
care i'll order that they might
be properly drained. The
militia, upon arrival in the
Valley found their camp practi-
cally ready for occupancy.
There il not one instance where
the militia were compelled to
camp in a low water.covered
place. The camps, with plenty
of good drinking water are pre-.
pared in advance for the mem
bers of the National Guard.
The camp sites were chosen
and everything on the ground
almost before the militia or
gani2ntion were moblized in
their home states. Shower
baths have been installed in
every camp or are bcilg in

were looked into and every
thing arranged and made ready
for the arrival of the different
organizations.
The United States Army

would be no delay when the
soldiers arrived. The red tape,
which prevailed in 1885 was
done away with. Rntions were

reached tho Valley. Lumber

The militia had very little to

Every soldier in camp has
been thoroughly examined for
sickness and has been in
oculated for typhoid fever and
vaccinated against smallpox.
Regular army surgeons have
visited the different camps and
instructed the militia surgeons
in the proper care of the camps
and the means for keeping the
camps in the best possible SAM

The drills hnve been arrang.
in order that they will not work
a hardship on the men. In fact
the troops stationed in the
Brownsville District are in a
region that lis as nearly free
from any disease as any place
can be made. The small sick
list among the regular troops
which have been stationed in
this section for the past four
years goes to show that there
is very little sickness in the

A PICTURE OF HUGHES.

The New York World, which once
was outspoken In its admiration for
Mr.. Hughes, now declares that the
people do not know where Hughes
stands. or what he stands for This
Wilson organ had no such criticism
TO make when Mr.. Hughes was gov.
ernor. The World said on May II,
lQ10: He dictated no nominations,
controlled no convention, trafficked in
no patronage. made no bargains with
office holders. He has rewarded no.
body for supporting him and punished
nobody for opposing him. What in.
tluence he has welded over public
opinion has come through his appeals
to the voters themselves" That Is
the estimate of Mr.. Hughes given by
the World six years ago. 1t is a
pretty fair letter of recommendation
Could the World say as much for
President Wilson? Hardly. for the
president has done all of the things
from which the World absolved
