ARMY CAMPS CLEAN

HOW IT WILL BE DONE

Man Fly will have little place in the
United States army on the Mexican
border if Major General Funston and
the medical corps officers OF the
southern department have their way
about it.
The army officers in charge of the
$4,000 state troops now along the in
ternational boundary have one object
in view: That is to make the sanitary
condition of the guardsmen as nearly
perfect as possible and promptly to
nail and refute all the yarns Of poor
food and bad surroundings that the
state guardsmen write back to the folk
at home and which the home-folk i'm
mediately turn over to the town news
paper.
Steps already have been taken to
courtmartial two Wisconsin privates
who sent kilograms to Senator La
Toilette complaining of their food
The facts were these: New York
guardsmen set out with only five
days travel rations. ate them up, got
hungry and raided all the wholesale
warehouses around the railway station
at Cleveland. General Funston imme.
diately telephoned all other state or
carnations en- route to supply their
men with ten days travel rations
The Badgers" were given ten days
travel rations. Naturally they had a
lot OF food left when they reached
Camp Wilson. San Antonio, and they
were made to eat it up before they
were given fresh rations. That is all
there was to it.
"A regular will live six days on five
days travel rations," General Funston
said. "A militiaman or a volunteer
will consume it in two days"
