SANITATION EXCELLENT

DR.. Eugene A. Crockett of Boston
Makes Report to American
Red Cross.

In the way of gifts and comforts the
militiamen encamped in and about Ell
Paso have received little. AS far as
their serious material needs are con-
cerned. however, they require little.
This is the word sent by DR.. Eugene A.
Crockett of Boston from Ell Paso to the
American Red Cross headquarters in
Washington.
There is no doubt in the mind of Dr.
Crockett that the condition of the
troops in general is excellent. He has
visited the camps in the vicinity Of Ell
Paso, both regular and militia. also the
camps at Columbus. n. NJ. and on the
lines of communication as far south

the Red Cross at the present time.
There is absolute lack Of any
form of entertainment in the camps,
and books. magazines and reading ma
terial could readily be purchased here
and furnished to outlying hospitals rapid
ly, and in no other way, in my opinion,
could the money be spent more desirably.
"If it could be arranged to send Red

the railroad from Juarez to Co1onia
Dublan, 1t would be an excellent thing
to do, as his men have been living in
shelter tents and a rather limited
variety of food since March. and have
been unable to purchase any of the
small things a soldier would like to
have. I don't see why this could not
be done, as he was constantly receiving
trainloads of supplies over this railroad
while 1 was with him.
