CANT0NMENT At DES MONIES
HAS CLEAN Bill. OF HEALTH
Escapes the Drastic Notices and
Forceful Measures Necessary in
Nearly All the Other Canton
ment Cities

The government sleuths that have
been investigating the 81 environments
and their immediate environments
have nothing but words of approba-
ton for Des Moines, while compelled
to uncover fearful conditions and rec
ommend drastic measures in the case
of quite number of other sites.
Some city authorities in the vicinity
of the camps protested utter ignof-
ance of vice conditions that were
making havoc of discipline and work
ing decentralization at a fearful rate
among the soldier boys until the fed
eral government took a firm hold of
the situation.
Rockford, ILL.,, officials have been
twice summoned to the bar of the fed
eral government for their failure to
carry out government orders. In Salt
Lake City the Union Civic Betterment
society has demanded that the Mayor
and Chief of Police resign as a result
of their failure to eradicate wide-open
vice. At Hopewell, S. c., the govern
ment demanded the resignation of the
Chief of Police as the result of the
wide-open condition of the rity,ss ~
San Antonio, the war department,
after two demands for cleanup, gave
the city just two weeks time to obey
its mandate and make the city decent
or pay the penalty of losing Camp
Travis.
1t is in contrast with such instances
of incorrigibility on the part of the
vicious elements that have their habi-
tat in the saloon, and the impotence
of saloon-ridden officials in every sec
ton of the country, that Des Moines
comes through clean and clear, and
almost alone.
The information as to the standing
of Des Moincs as compared with other
cantonment cities, comes through
Councilman Ben Woolgar superin-
tendent of public safety in that city.
