SAYS UNPREPAREDKESS is
TO BLAME FOR ARMY ILLNESS

Gen. William H. Wright, commanding
at Camp Doniphan, issued a state
ment last night blaming the American
public for the unpreparedness which
resulted in lack of hospital facilities
and trained medical men for war. He
said that in the enormous expansion
of the army recently. it was inevitable
that there should be inefficiency in
every branch, and that the medical
corps had its share.
Gen Wright said that when his di-
vision moved into Camp Doniphan not
a nail had been driven for the hos
pital and that there was no place to
put sick soldiers. There were si9
patients in the hospital yesterday in
