PNEUMONIA KILLS
MANY SOLDIERS
Surgeon General Gorgas' Report
BIames Lack of Clothes
for Deaths.
ARMY CAMPS NEED PLUMBING
Overcrowding and Bad Sanitation
Cause Disease Epdemics in Texas,
Kansas, Oklahoma and
South Carolina.

Washington, Dec. 19.--Insufiicient
clothing, overcrowding and bad SANTA
ton are held largely responsible for
disease epidemics at Camp Bowie,
Tex; Camp Funston, Kansas; Camp
Doniphan, Oklahoma, and Camp Sc
vier, South Carolina, by Surgeon Gen
eral Gorgas, in reports 10 Secretary
Of War Baker, made public here on
the result of his personal inspection
of the camps.
An alarming number of deaths from
pneumonia, caused by a lack of proper
clothing and overcrowding in poorly
heated barracks, is reported at all four
places.
With the exception Of. Funston, none
of the camp base hospitals has been
completed, General Gorgas says, and
this is handicapping the medical Off
GERS in treating patients.
He recommends the rushing Of this
work particularly the installation Of
necessary plumbing.
Disease Carried by Men.
General Gorgas points out that prac-
rrcally all the disease is brought to
the camps by incoming men, and rec
ommends the establishment of observa-
ton camps for all newcomers, so that
they may be observed for such time
as the division surgeon shall deem nee
esSary.
To aid sanitary conditions he sug-
gests that so square feet of floor space
be furnished for each man at every
camp. In some cases now only 20 feet
are provided.
Steps to remedy existing unfavor-
able conditions have been taken by
division commanders as far as pos
sible, the report says, while winter
clothing is being supplied as hapidly
as received.
r. el1 of warm garmeE.s during the
cold weather of the late fall is be-
lieved by General GOrgas to have con-
tributed largely to the spread of pneu-
monia.

THE NEW INCOME TAX.
Those Coming Under the Law Must
Make Report.

Some time between January 1 and
March l Of next year, every unmar-
ried person having net income of
$1,000 year and every married per-
son having a net income of double
that amount will have to make a re-
port to the government What is first
to be understood and borne in mind
is that if this. is not done law will
have been violated and by the govern
ment the violator will be called to ac-
count. What is next to be comprehend
ed and remembered is that the tax
collector will not go to the recipient
OF the income-the shoe is on the
other foot And it will help the recip-
lent to know that net income does not
mean what is left after paying living
expenses. In the deductions permis-
sible these are not included
To many, if not to most, upon this
duty is imposed, the blanks prepared
by the government will prove to be
bewildering. They will make some
Chinese puzzles simple by compari-
son. Approaching this fact, knowing
that there will be hundreds in small
communities and many thousands in
large cities in need of guidance, Fed
eral instructors will facilitate mat
ters for the unsophisticated at every
internal revenue Office

Washington, Dec. 19.-Secretary of
War Baker defended army officers
from charges of snobbishness made by
on information furnished him from
camp communities In this state There
may be occasional cases of snobbish-
ness on the part of officers, just as

but in the main, Secretary Baker said,
relations are cordial, and he added
that he is endeavoring to impress upon
officers the military value of this cor
dial relationship.

TO QUIZ SHIP BODY
Senate to Investigate Delays in
Building Merchant Fleet.
Hurley Says There Are Now Under
Construction, or Under Contract,
8,395, ,308 Tons of Shipping.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Investigation
merchant marine by the shipping
board and emergency feet corporation
was ordered by the senate, which
rushed through resolution by Senator
Harding of Ohio after vigorous criti-
cism by several senators of the failure
to produce ships.
The investigation will be conast'i !
by the senate commerce committee.
In the comprehensive inquiry au-
thorized the committee was directed
to Investigate the ''plans and progress
and all matters in connection with the
building of merchant ships" Of the
shipping board and fleet corporation,
with view to making remedial rec
concentrations to congress.
''It is a crime that money placed in
its hands should be SO lily handled"
declared Senator Harding, charging
the shipping board with "red tape and
inefficiency."
The exit Of Admiral Harris was not
entirely unexpected. He was dissatis-
fed with the limits put on his author
ity.
He wanted to move the Emergency
Fleet corporation from Washington to
Philadelphia, and as an incidental
item he wanted to spend $12,OOOOOO
for barracks and WOrkmen. When
Hurley suggested that matters Of such
I'D Oh
passed on by the shipping board, the
admiral felt that he was being unduly
curbed, and asked Secretary Daniels
to withdrwy him from his assignment
and reappoint him to his old job as
chief of the bureau of docks and
yards. Unfortunately that job has
been filed, but the admiral will get
another navy post.
Charles Piez, the Chicago engineer
who recently became vice president of
the Emergency Fleet corporation,
takes on the duties as general man
ager which was Admiral Harris job.
General reorganization of the fleet
corporation will follow. Rear Admiral
Bowles, aid to Admiral Harris, will
have an important place. James Hey
worth of Chicago will have full charge
of wooden construction. Charles Day
will head the construction department.
The shipbuilding program, Chairman
Hurley said, is in better shape than
ever before since it was launched. Con-
ditiops on the Pacific coast are excel
lent. Ships are being turned out as
fast as human labor can accomplish It.
Altogether there are now under con-
struction or under contract 1896 1903
deadweight tons Of shipping.

TWO Big Plants in South Chicago Sus-
pend Part of Operations

Chicago, Dec. 19.-Two big plants in

pany is now operating only one mer-
chant mill
UNLESS we get fuel In the next forty
