10.-As a result of the discovery of one
case of smallpox among the men recently
drafted from Illinois, Major General
Scott has ordered the wholesale vac
cinatIon of every officer and man in the
big camp. 4 second soldier in the same
outfit is under suspicion, but surgeons
have not diagnosed his case as smallpox.
This Is the first case of the disease TO

though one case was discovered among
the construction workmen last summer.
Hundreds of graduates from the recent
officers tGining school here, now at
tached rs non-commissioned officers To

ment commanders supplant the work OF
the training school for the officer candl-
dates and they will be placed in actual
