Thirty thousand soldiers were turned
out on special detail early last evening
IN a dirt-chaslng campaign that would
have delighted the heart Of the most
pariicular OF housewives. The great
cleanup. which covered every occupied
area in the camp, was planned by Major
General Scott as an object lesson to
thousands Of "rookles" in the necessity
of keeping the grounds about their liv-
ing quarters In camp or when their or
ganizstlon is in the field, thoroughly
policed and sanitary. In fifteen minutes
from the time the thousands Uf men
got busy with broomsl and rakes every
scrap OF rubbish, even 10 burned match
sticks, had disappeared, and the camp
had the spick and span appearance
which General Scott has made charsc-
teristio OF the place since taking com
mand.
