Bearing first-hand news of condi-
tions among the Delaware troops in
camp along the border, Major Will
liam Marshall, of Milford, chief sur
geon with the hospital detachment
of the State Militia. arrived in this
city from Deming N. NJ. yesterday
afternoon. Major Marshall has been
detailed as recruiting officer at Dover,
while Captain Joseph Lawson will
continue in charge of the station in
this city. After a conference with
AdiutantGeneral l. Pusey Wicker
sham Major Marshall left for his
home in Milford.
According to Major Marshall, the
Delaware troops are enjoying them
selves immensely. They are all well
and their relatives need have no fear
as to their welfare. The men were
glad to get to Deming and the resi-
dents of Deming were glad to have
the soldiers there, so the situation
is a very satisfactory one. The
Deming people were living in daily
I fear of a raid by the bandits, which
| the presence of the troops will pre-
vent. and this may explain in part
/ the hearty welcome the Deming resi-
dents accorded the boys from Della
ware.
The Delaware troops we're the first
] to reach the section and are still the
only troops there, said Major Mar
shall.
Their camp is just outside the town
limits, situated on a broad expanse
of prairie which nestles at the foot
of high mountains about seven miles
distant The soil is sandy and quick
ly absorbs rain. The climate l., dry
and healthful. and while It is hot
the heat is not nearly so intense as
it is in Wilmington.
The camp site was all laid out fol
the militia when they arrived The
water supply is piped through th'

spigot and each battalion has il
shower baths for bathing purposes
The camp is being supplied with elec
trio light. and an electric light is be
ing placed in each tent. Every com
pany kitchen is being screened in, ant
the tents of the officers are being sup
/ piled with board floors
Major Marshall said that there nave
been no serious accidents. Private
Kirkley. who fell from the train a
, Altoona, rolling through the window
, in his sleep. is recovering from th'
! slight injuries he received Regarding
the rescue OF one of the men by an
other soldier while bathing in thu
Mississippi River, Major Marshal
said efforts will be made to get a Ger
tifcate of merit for the man whit
made the rescue.

| Major Marshall was not ordered Il

/ the second battalion on their specia

. was no other physician connectel

TOO much for the nervy Delaware mil

In the letter, dated July 81, Ser
