BORDER TROOPS ARE HEALTHY:
ONLY THREE PERCENT ARE SICK

The troops at present on the border
rank high in health and good spirits,
according to George Bell, ir. com
mander OF the Fl Paso district
The proportion of sickness is three
percent" said the general Monday.
Anything under five percent is consid-
cred low.
AS a whole, the men seem thor
oughly satisfied with conditions Of
course, every one of US has his griev-
ances at times, but after the thing Is
all over. Il is quickly forgotten. A lot
or trouble has been caused by reports
OF i'll treatment and discomfort that
have been sent by some Of the men 10
their home papers I think that most
of the men have learned to be very
careful in what they send out. and I
expect no trouble in this respect"
There are about 10000 troops now in
FL Paso, the general said. Troops from
another state are said to he on the vav
but the general would not discuss de-
tails.
