Reuiews Conditions
In Cantonr7enfs

II will take these camps at random,
and, inasmuch as I have referred to
Camp Bowie, 7 will call attention to
that. I will say to my Southern
friends and colleagues that the same
conditions prevail down there as you
will know If you have taken the trouble
to go on the grounds. First, | will
take Camp Sewer, South Carolina, as q
random case. Here is General Gorgas's s
report:
Sanitary conditions here are Sc
rious. Sixty men have died of pneu-
monia in the past month. The camp
has been exposed TO genera epidemic
of measles, about 1000 cases having
occurred within thel asst month. Dur
ing this same period they have had
175 cases of pneumonia and fifteen
scripts of this command are men who
are not immune to measles. They come
from the neighboring Southern states
where population is scarce, and, there
fore, have not had measles in child
hood. Always, with measles, a certain
number OF cases of pneumonia occur.
The mortality OF pneumonia from any
cause is always high.
"'The basic uasanitary condition,
however, in my opinion. is overcrowd-
ing. In the past, in this camp, the di-
vision commander has had to put eleven
and twelve men in tent, due to the
shortage Of tentage. This would give
about twenty square feet of space to
each man. At present, he has to put
nine men in a tent, which gives about
twenty eight square feet to the man. /
urge that the division commander be
directed TO furnish at least fifty square
feet of floor space to the man, which
would give about five men to the tent
SIN order to get this thing before
the Senate in a concrete form. ! asked
General Gorgas to make me a detailed
statement Of the annual death rate per
thousand from all sources. 1t is very
short, and 7 will read it.
Death rates, all causes.-Troops in
United States, September 2l, 1917. to
January 18, 1918, annual rate per 900:
All troops, 8.2; regulars, All; Ma
tional Guard, 1904; National Army,

"Thc history Of this country will
show that, wherever there has been

suffers less from disease than any
other body of soldiers, because they
have learned to take care OF them
selves. Thew have been in the service

New York speech.
Senator Kirby maintained that the

animation had disclosed a dangerous
situation, rather than to carry it to
the Senate floor first in q speech.

as trench mortars and machine guns,
but added that preparations were be

Wilson and Baker Don't
Knou, Chamberlain, Says

In beginning his address Senator
Chamberlain said the President had at
lacked both his vcracity and integrity,
heretofore unchallenged, but that in
replying he did so without any personal
feeling against the President.
"For twcnty-four years." Senator
Chamberlain said, 81 have served the
public in my state to the best Of my
ability, and in all that time have
never had my veracity called in ques-
tion nor my integrity impeached, and I
have passed through some bitter CAM
paigns. 1t is therefore with some
feeling Of humiliation and also sadness
that rise to a question of personal
privilege when my veracity has been
called in question, not by an ordinary
citizen, not by one Of my colleagues.
but by very distinguished gentleman
who has the love and admiration of the
people, and who by their suffrage oc-
cupies the highest place in the git or
the people, and | may say the highest
place of any man IN the world.
ut is, therefore. with much feeling
tack made upon me. and I do SO with
out any feeling OF unkindness.
"Now that my truthfulness has been
ouestioned," Senator Chamberlain con-
tinued, IL feel it my duty to tell the
country something I might not have
told it under ordinary circumstances
l do it as a man who loves his country
best Of all and who would Willingly
give his life for it. I do it fearlessly
as an American citizen who desires to
help and not to HINDER
He repeated he had not distorted the
truth in his speech made in New York,
but that, owing to the great rush of
business due to the war. the President
has probably not been able to ascertain
the truth and does not know the truth.
From the lips OF those closest to the
President the Chief Executive cannot
learn the truth, not because his advis-
they are situated in the same position
as he is.
"The Secretary of War, in a general
statement to the country which was
carefully and ably prepared, tells us
that $4,000 100000 has been appropri-
ated for the ordnance department, and
that contracts for $1,677,000,000 have
been awarded" he continued "This is
true. But the Secretary failed to tell
IflS country til0C 1IUcIlCd Iullcu TO
stand prepared.
"These personal charges against me
amount to nothing to the American
people, but affect policies which may
involve the future of this country, if
not the entire world" he added.
Senator Chamberlain said he had
been invited to speak before the Ma
tional Security League, and had ac-
ceptcd on short notice and without time
to prepare an address. He recalled
that on the dais with him were Alton
B. Parksr. Theodore Roosevelt and
julius Kahn and that the audience
was "a representative body that for
patriotism cannot be excelled by anv
like body in the United States" lie
then reiterated that he assumed re-
:sponsibility for the speech as reported
by newspapers and had read to the SEN
ate Verbatim report
