CONDITIONS At EAGLE PASS.
From the St. Adams Messenger


The newspaper fraternity welcomes
Editor john T. Gushing back to the edito-
rial chair in the st. Adams Messenger
oftce after his months sojourn with the
Vermont troops on the Mexican border.
Editor Cushing is in a position 20 give
his readers some irst-hand information
about the conditions in the camp OF the
Vermont troops. "-Barre Times.
1t may be said in full truth and with
absolutely no desire 20 instil a sense OF
false security in the minds OF relatives
of Guardsmen that the conditions at Camp
Shafter. Eagle Pass, Texas, are very sat

have n fever camp AT Eagle Pass as 1t was
at Chickamauga. The fact that there is
absolutely no comparison between the two
camps is due to casclees effort to keep
things righ, this time.
IL Is the Messengers opinion that the
regiment is most fortunate in having Col.
Ira L.. Reeves as its commanding officer.
Colonel Reeves has had years of regular

ton and the natural course will be
constant improvement in conditions. It
is a safe prediction that If the men
of the regiment fall victims to disease
1t Will be through no fault of their
own, but will be due to carelessness in
other nearby camps which seems most
unlikely, as all outfits are striving for
health record.
But of course Colonel Reeves could
not bring about satisfactory condi-
lions and maintain them unassisted.
He has in all his efforts the hearty
cooperation of the officers and the
men of the regiment. The personnel OF
the First Vermont is indeed high
one. To be modest. it is a regiment at
least a little out of the ordinary. COL
onel Reeves states that it has the best
personnel of any regiment with which
he has ever served, either within or
without the regular service. Battalion
and company commanders as rule
are as watchful as the colonel him.
self, and there is a unity Of purpose
that accounts for the splendid record
the regiment is making. The men are
as proud of the outfit as the officers
themselves and when this is said ono
pays as high compliment as is pos
Slple, bOtn " tllc ollCSTS anu the men
themselves.
The water supply at Eagle Pass
proper is good. The water is taken
from the regular city reservoir and is
drawn from the Rio Grande and pass
ed through filtration plant. The food
is good and ample Opportunities for
maintaining bodily cleanliness are ex-
cellent The heat is terrific in the
mid hours Of the day, but then as many
men as possible take it as easy as
possible. The daily schedule of drills
is laid out with this feature in mind.
The Messenger believes this is
faithful picture of physical conditions
at Eagle Pass. Given that a soldier
went out in good condition. blessed
with a sound digestive apparatus.
such a one should experience a mini
mum of difficulties. Some sickness is
to be expected. So many men could
not be brought together anywhere or
under any conditions without there
being sickness. That some mon went
out who We're not physically fitted is
beyond question true, duo to tho pre-
cipitatcd haste in which tho regiment
was bundled off for the border. time
for adequate examination of the men
not being given. But in brief. the con-
dtons at Eagle Pass are most reas-
cerned. from the lowest ranking pri-
vate in the rear rank to the colonel in
command.
