DR.. WATSON HERE
ON SHORT TRIP:
Talks Of CONDITIONS
At CAMP WHEELER

DR.. Herman w. Watson is here on
a brief furlough, and is being given
an ovation by his friends, who are
legion in this community He will re-
turn to Camp Wheeler tomorrow.
Speaking of conditions at the camp
DR.. Watson declares that so far as
the camp itself is concerned, the
conditions are ideal, as the location,
drainage, and all matters making for
healthfulness. He says that many OF
the men have measles but that this
is always the case when camp OF
new recruits are gotten together
The only thing that has not been
done to insure the health and com
fort of the men Is to provide suffici
ent heavy clothing, and particularly
bedding. The men have not sufflci
ent blankets and suffer from cold
while in bed, this in many instances
aggravating measles or slight colds
into pneumonia or other serious sick
ness. He said that his understand
ing was that this lack would be sup
piled shortly. He said that, so fal
as he knew. the boys of Company
are well and in fine spirits, Walter
Wilson and Jack Turberville beint
the only members of the compan,
who have been seriously i'll.
