USUAL SERVICES ARE
Hello At CAMP STUART
Regarding Movement Of Troops
In Few Days.

Quiet reigned throughout yesterday
at Camp Henry Carter Stuart. the
only happenings Of the day being the
usual Sunday religious services on the
grounds. Services were held yester-
day morning at the Cavalry and
Artillery Camps. while evening ser
vices were conducted in the audi
torium of the Young Mems Christian
Association.
No additional information with
reference to the movement of the
troops to the Texas border by Septem-
Der 10 has been received at the camp,
but 1t Is very probable that some
definite news will be Forthcoming
within the next day or two. Most OF
the soldier boys are getting tired OF
remaining at the local camp and are
anxious to be sent 10 Brownsville or
some other post.
A large number of the arttllerymen
and cavalrymen were rendered oppor-
tunities to visit their homes yesterday
and all OF them took advantage Of the
chance.
1t was the general belief around
military quarters yesterday that the
troops will entrain for the border
within the next three or four weeks.
II Is practically assured that the
militiamen will either be sent to the
Mexican border by the latter part OF
September. at the latest, or else re-
lieved from duty.

DIR. Levy and Assistants Taking EVERY
Precaution to Prevent Spread
Of Disease

No additional typhoid fever cases
were officially reported to the Rich
mond Health Department yesterday.
However. there are a few more under
suspicion at the present time. and there
may be some developments In one or
two OF them this morning.
DR.. Levy, OF the Health Department.
and his assistants believe that they
have the typhoid situation In the city
practically under their control. and
they are not anticipating any startling
developments in the near future.
Every precaution is being taken to
prevent an epidemic of the disease. and
they believe that II will be only a
matter of two or three weeks when
they viii have the situation thoroughly
under their control.
Four hundred or more persons were
inoculated during the past week maxi
Ing several thousand In all to have
the nnti-typhoid vaccine injected In
their arms. This, according to DR..
Levy. has aided materially In prevents
Ing the spread OF the disease In Rich
