American Training Camp in

officer of the American expeditionary
forces yesterday made a round of the
companies in camp neaHst head
tion a brief talk on general health
conditions. He explained the dangers
that confront all armies and urged
the men to take precautions avail

troops responded finely to his patrio-
tic appeal to keep in good physical
condition for the reputation of the
American arms and promised faith
fully not to drink unfiltered water
and observe other health precau-
tions. "
Medical records thus far make it
appear that the appeal had been
anticipated by the majority of the
men, for health conditions are ex-
cellent. What little sickness pre-
walls is l1miteG almost exclusively to

States.
Every soldier has been vaccinated

Likewise every man under As years
has been vaccinated against small

against cholera should it make its
appearance.

pleted taking over the French base
