NO ROOM FOR 300 SOLDIERS
At 0UTCALT, IT IS SAID

lby Evening NtWs SOiicspohoehSI
JAMESBURG, June 25.-Con-
valescent soldiers, who have been
at the sanitorium at Fox Hills, 5. l.,
are to be moved to Outcalt. near
this place, according to JUNIORS that
have become known within the past
few days.
1t is the intention of the United
States government to take owe the
large dormitory formerly used by
Bernard McFadden. when he con-
Quoted his Health Home in the
Pines" some years ago and the SOL
diers given a two months rest cure.
Reports say that three hundred
are to moved to the new sanitorium
but this is not so as the building
does not contain over seventy small
rooms and is without sanitary ar
rangements, 10 running water being
in the building.
No soldiers have been transferred
there as yet as alterations to the
building are but under way.
James Lawson, of New York City.
a brother of Thomas Lawson, of
Boston, is the owner of the building,
having purchased same from the
McFadden interests. The dormitory
is situated alongside what was once
a pretty lake known as Lake Mar
guerite, but this body of water has
been dry for several years and the
place is infested with sand flies and
mosquitoes of huge proportions.
The building is the only n that
is left of the large number erected
by McFadden when he built his ia
nous colony some twelve years
ago. all the buildings having burned
down.
Members of the Red Cross and
Woman's Auxiliary of the American
Legion, when interviewed said that
they knew of the coming of the
| troops and were of the opinion that
not over fifty could be housed under
| sanitary conditions and not the three
hundred as anticipated.
The site lies several hundred
