Gorgas Finds Lack of Clothing
and Bad Sanitation in Camps
Surgeon General Tells Baker Camp Hospitals Are Not
Equipped to Treat Pneumonia, Measles and
Other Epidemic Diseases

tional Army Division, there have been
forty-three deaths from pneumonia,
with 1S9 cases. and twenty-five from
meningitis, with seventy cases.
"This indicates the most serious con-
dition as far as infection from menin-
gifts and pneumonia is concerned"
General Gorgas says. "As emphasizing
the situation call attention to the fact
that they had eighty-four deaths from
ali causes when the normal death rate
Of such a command should be about
twelve"
The general rtports that among the
10000 drafted men injected into the
oantonment in October were many
meningitis carriers. General Gorgas
recommends observation camps, the re-
lieving Of overcrowded conditions, the
oiling Of nearby roads TO keep down
the dust and the erection and heating
of ambulance sheds to obyiate the pres
ent difficulties found in getting the
motor ambulances started during the
cold weather.
Danger at Camp Sewer
Sanitary conditions at Camp Sewer,
in the 3Oth Guard Division, are de-
scrbed by General Gorgas as serious.
sixty men have died of pneumonia IN
the last month, and the camp mas oeen
exposed TO general epidemic OF
measles, about 1000 cases having oc-
Cured during the month. During the
pneumonia and fifteen cases OF men

The basic cause of unsanitary condi-
t;ons, the report continues, is over
crovding as III. result of the shortage
# tentage. From eleven 70 twelve men
hal TO be put in each tent with about
twenty square feet to each man. Gen
era, Gorgas recommends that no addi-
tonal men be sent TO this camp until
the division commander says he is able
to care for them properly.
When General Gorgas visited the
camp. November 30, the whole command
was in khaki, and as a result there had
beon a good deal of discomfort and
exposure. Woollen underclothing and
overcoats. however, had arrived and
been distributed.
Heat and Plumbing Needed
Heat ami plumbing are badly needed
in .he hospitals, as are additional am
balances. The general recommends
that both be supplied as quickly as
possible.
During the last month at Camp Don
iphan. where the 35th Guard Division
is training. there have been - sdmis-
sions from pneumonia, with IL deaths;
ZIG cases OF measles and one death;
l04 OF diphtheria, with one death, and
six of meningitis. with four deaths.
0vercrowding is described by the re-
port as the basic cause.
Until recently, the general reports

had nothing but summer clothing,
which undoubtedly had increased the

caused the disbanding of the team.
But yesterday the influence of the in

GERMANS IN AFRICA
ENLISTED BEES AID

Paris.--That the Germans in South
Africa modified bees to fight the
British troops is the declaration of a
writer in La Nature, Paris. This
unique bit OF frightfulness is asserted
to have taken place on the occasion of
the British advance on the German
port OF Tanga, terminus Of the Washi
railroad.
Leaving their base at Mombasa, the
Loyal North Lancashire and Cashmere
Fusileers were obliged to traverse a
region Of thick forests cut by narrow
paths. The retreating Germans had
shared vast multitude of bees by
supplying them with smoke and had
placed them in leather bottles which
they concealed in trees beside the for
est paths.
The feet of the approaching Brit
ishers caught in strings which jerked
the covers off the bottles and release
the bees. The soldiers, says the re-

Man Who Brought Cinema

City for Day.
WITH PATHE COMPANY
Big Concern Has Combined
Journalism With Motion
Picture Camera.

Back in 1908 Fred Quimby opened a
queer amusement place in a storeroom
on North Higgins avenue. He had
the nerve to call the joint the Isis
theater. though there wasn't sign of
stage In it. Instead of plays or
vaudeville acts the ''theater" presented
a new tangled confusion of Pickering
lights and shadows called moving
pictures"
The wise ones laughed at the idea.
Those things are all right once"
they said, "but who would ever want
to see more than one picture. There's
no life to them, and they hurt the
eyes"
Comes Back to City.
Well, Fred Quimby came back to
Missoula for a brief visit yesterday.
He is now western manager for the
Pathe Film company, one of the four
Or five largest concerns now engaged
In the second greatest industry in the
United States. His headquarters is in
Seattle, and he has charge of all the
territory west OF Denver.
Remarkable History.
THE way the moving picture in
dustry has grown amazes us ALL" said
Mr.. Quimby yesterday There wasn't
such an industry in 1906. The only
moving pictures were little peep shows
Of a hundred feet or so. Now the
smallest towns have their theaters.
Much of the territory through which I
travel is nothing but sagebrush. but it
is almost true that wherever there is
a tar-paper shack moving picture
show is to be found.
Seattle furnishes good indications
OF the way the industry has grown.
There are two theaters in that city
worth 100000 apiece devoted exclu-
sively to motion pictures"
journalism in Films.
The Pathe company, Mr.. Quimby
says, has enlisted journalism as an
ally. The Hearst interests have formed
a working agreement with the Pathe
people under the terms of which all
the cartoonists and artists of the
Hearst papers draw feature pictures
for the film company: all the plots de-
veloped by the staff writer's in the
Hearst syndicate are available for film
dramatization, and all the newspaper

An art dealer in Europe purchased a

the surface of the painting with some
