Southern Camps Best.

Major General Gorgas, surgeon gen.
eral of the army. expressed strong ap-
prevail of the selection of sites in the
south for the army environments. Gen.
eral Gorgas said:
1.-The outstanding fact is that men
trained in the south will have weather
conditions permitting their being out of
doors practically all of every day. In
certain regions wisely chosen for our
national guard camps rain is scarce in
the winter-when the heaviest training
will be done-and at night soldiers will
sleep in quarters where there is free
air circulation. Plenty Of fresh air !
the time means that any germs which
may be about are kept on the move
and are given slight chance to increase.
Fresh air and health are synonymous
in military as well as in civil life.
1.-THE few weeks Of summer weather
which soldiers in the south may en-
counter will be more than offset by the
long autumn and mild winter during
which the troops will undergo the
larger part Of their training"

faIilG;Id could post himself Intimately
We have no military secrets Our pub
lie documents and the Congressional
Record are open to anybody. Our mill
tary system is elastic, and we change
SO often that no foreign secret service
can keep efficient tab or us.
"Of course il is necessary to protect
from the knowledge of the enemy the
movements of our forces. If we can't
take care of that we might as we'll
throw up our hands. But to carry out
this design it is not necessary to brand
publicly all our citizens of German
blood as disloval. 1t seems to me that
we should bend our energies rather to-
ward stiffening their adhesion to the
Stars and Stripes than toward forcing
them to sympathize with their mother
country through innuendo, accusation
or ridiculc.'
These remarks led to an investigation
of the loyalty of the American citizens
of German blood as applied to the army.
Here are some figures to think about:
Many Are of German Blood.
First.-Approximately SO Is per cent
of the strength of our army in enlisted
men is OF German blood.
Second.-Of the 5000 or more COM
missioned officers in our army-the
latest lists are not complete-close to
10 per cent are of German blood.
Third.-Our new selective draft army
will be made up of more than 20 per
cent of citizens of German ancestry.
Fourth. Figures at hand in the war
department show that since the decla-
ration by the United States of war
against Germany between % and so
per cent of the men who have enlisted
are of German ancestry.
Fifth.-ln the operations thus far at
tempted men of German blood in high
ulaces in the United States army have
been among the most efficient and in
/ itiative factors.
! Sixth.-Since the declaration of war
not a commissioned officer of German
descent in the United States army has
| resigned. whereas at the beginning of
/ the civil war about 80 per cent of the
officers of the federal army resigned to
/ fellow Robert f. Lee and the call or

Washington about what he does. Tho
letters were given The Times for
publication today.
Full of the spirit that is animating
the American forces already in France
preparing for the great struggle
ahead. the letters yet show that the
newness of the country and the con-

partly aIIays the pain OF indefinite

Lieutenant Dubois IS, the only son

Many businesses have enjoyed in
creased prosperity in Washington dur
ing the past twelve months, each in
proportion to its merit as indicated
by the activity Of the management.
But some of this prosperity has been
enjoyed by businesses that have
merely floated ahead with the nat
ural tide of increased trade momen-
tum. Such businesses will not only
dwindle at the first approach of nor
NAL activity, but they are right now
satisfying themselves with percent
age OF business far below their ap-
parent present possibilities.
