to be very annoying, but the visiting
officials found health conditions better
than they had been led to expect
Pneumonia was In evidence, but not so
many cases at a few weeks ago.
At Jefferson Barracks, ST. Louis, 1t
was found there had been severe over
crowding in December. but 1t has been
relieved by rapid transfers. Camp
Dodge was found in good condition.
Much Of the illness is declared to be
due to the early difficulties men had in
adjusting themselves to camp condl-
tions.
Governor j. A. A. Burnqulst, ArJu-
tant General w. +. Rhinow. and DR..
O. w. Holcomb, Of st. Paul. reached
home last night from their tour. After
the inspection at Camp Cody these
three separated from the others of tho
party and visited Minnesota troops at
Camp Kearney. San Diego, Fort Win
field Scott. n@r San Francisco. and
Camp Lewis. American Lake. Wash.
Governor Burnquist reported on condi-
tions at these camps late today, but
would make no formal statement until
after the reports had been considered
by the commission. He had no serious
criticisms TO make.
