BB a star Correspondent


CAMP DIX, Wrightstown, y. j., Nov. l.
Rumors that many men were in the hos
pital here with typhoid fever were set at
rest today when the medical authorities,
departing from the habitual policy of si-
lence in that department. stated officially
that there were four typhoid cases in the
base hospital. The pride Of the American
army doctors is that typhoid fever. for
merly one of the dreaded diseases in the
army, has been eradicated
When these four cases were brought into
the hospital great concern was felt at first,
but, on examination of the records of the
patients, It was discovered that all four
were recent recruits and were all from
one small town in New York. 1t has been
shown conclusively that these men had con-
tracted the disease before they came into
the camp,
Like many other small bits Of gossip that
pass the rounds in the barracks, the state

have to be built from Prospect Rock
opposite Manchester to killington

have to be improved To connect
the Green and White mountains. the
trail would be taken from Cancels
