OvercrOwding and Lack of

Washington, Dec. Surgeon Cen
eral Gorgas in a letter to the chief
of the army today, declares that over
crowding and insufficient heavy cloth
ing for soldiers is responsible for the
extent of sickness at Camp Doniphan,

During the last month the camp
has had seventy-four cases of pneu-
monia, with eleven deaths, BIG cases
of measles with one death; 1O4 cases
of diphtheria with one death and six

While the number of cases and
the number of deaths from the above

than in other camps visited" the sur

respect of these diseases is consid-
cred serious. The basic cause, I con-
slider, to be over-crowding of the
camp At the present time there are
nine men quartered in each tent. The

and while a sewerage system, which
has been authorized and work begun,

The operations were carried out on

THURSDAY.

French troops are in contact with
the main German army and what may
prove to be- the initial stage of the
greatest battle of history has opened
before the gates of La Fere. For the
first time since the great German rs
treat began patrol and rear-guard
aghting has given way to the thun
der of artillery and the clash of major
forces. The Germans are making 6
stand on line running pegth and
south of La Fere, from st. Simon tc
the forest of Coucy, distance roughly
estimated at about twenty miles.
The position selected by the Ger
mans is protected by the Grozal CANA
and the Ailette river, tributary of the
Disc, but in this line the French have
driven a great wedge directly in fFeht
Of La Fere and reaching to within two
miles of that important town.
London reports the British have al
vanced ten miles east of the Somme
at certain points. Measured from Pc
rome this would place them within
four or five miles from st. Quentin, q
vital objective.

LIME GRINDING BILL
CALLED "THE HOBBY OF
WESTMORELAND DAVIS

It is said Of Westmoreland Davis
candidate for Governor Of Virginia
that he first makes up his mind that
a certain idea is a good thing and
then he never lets up until it is put
over.
AS an illustration, he knew, as we
all know, that carbonate of lime is
absolutely necessary to cure acidity
of the soil so that the legumes-alfalfa,
clover, sofa beans, crimson clover, ETC..
will grow and furnish vegetable mat.
ter in the soil for fertility. Lime was
controlled by a combination of burners
who held the prices up and the farm
ers simply could not get what they
needed. Davis went to Illinois, where
convicts were grinding limestone to
sell to farmers of that state at low
price. He returned to Virginia, and
after two years fight in the Legisla-
ture his bill became a law. The lime
burners took it to the supreme court,
and Davis paid the farmers expense
of the litigation out of his own pocket.
There is now a plant at Stanton
which furnishes limestone at rs cents
a ton. F. o. B. cars, and at the last
legislature Davis presented bill to
establish a plant in Tidewater, Va,
for grinding oyster shells. The bill
passed and the location of the new
plant vii be IrVington, Va,
