 Camp Devens Not Popular Consensus of opinion among en- listed men in the 169th regiment is that the state rcgimental camp at Camp Trumbull, Mantle, is better than Camp Deyans, The poll was taken throughout the division and officers as well as 15 enlisted men were given the privilege of voting,
 Camp Devens has not been popL- lar with officers or men. Officers expressed disapproval ot the camp despite the advantages gained by having the units together. They feel that the soldiers can gain more by having the regiment assenl- ble at Camp Trumtuu because ot the convenience of indiyjdlG. con- pany kitchens.
 There has been an indifference on the matter Of kitchen cleanliness and sanitary conditions about th4 barracks, The companies fe,i that they are in with other units and lit- tie credit or honor can be gained from an individual standpoint.
 The sand and dust Of the camp and the lack Of amusement nearly has been q source of displeasure.
