if he didn't look too bad. Now a
man with cold is sent to the hos

treated as trivial. There is prompt
isolation and expert attention.
No sooner had the division as

All OF 20th Division
Is Now Modified
AT Fort Meade
Lost Units Assigned
To Heated Quarters in
Contrast to 1918
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES,
Star Staff Correspondent


FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
Feb. 22.-The goth Division, Nation
al Guard troops from the District
of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and
Pennsylvania, completely modified
today in this city of barracks, faced
year of Federal service in excel
lent health and in high spirits.
The last units of the division
composing the 115th Infantry, from
Maryland counties, arrived yester-
day, and the final company was in
heated quarters before taps last
night.
The picture differed sharply from
the scene of 1918, when Fort Meade
was jammed with soldiers training
for France. Then the camp was at
tackled by the more inSidious and
deadly foe than the Germans-in-
f1uenza. There were thousands of
deaths before the plague lifted.
Today the spacious new division
hospital had few patients, and not
one was reported seriously i'll. There
v2s little flu. and the cases reported
were mild. There was no fear of an
epidemic.
Medical Officer Pleased.
A high medical officer attributed
the 1918 catastrophe in the camps
more to bad housing and other un-
favorable conditions than to the
vlrulent pandemic that was sweep
ing over the world at the time.
There was no reason, he pointed
out, why the boys should have been
moved down more appallingly even
than most civilian communities. de-
spite the almost universal prevalence

tact with congest6d cities. they might
have escaped serious consequences if
better provision had been made for
their housing, clothing and care, he
pointed out
But large groups were shipped be-
fore the camp was ready for them,
and often they lacked enough warm
clothing and blankets, he said. and
their shelter was sketchy and i'll

Conditions made them highly
vulnerable to the flu" said this doc
tor, who has had wide experience
as military surgeon.
But he is quite pleased with the
present camp. He pointed to the

Midway Citizens Hear
Police Head Also Advise
Watch Over Children

A plea for greater caution by
pedestrians to reduce traffic fatal
tiles was voiced last night by Police
Supt. Edward J. Kelly at a meeting
of the Midway Citizens Association
in Morgan School.
Maj. Kelly called on parents eSpe-
cially to maintain closer watch over

asked at the same time that aged
or infirm persons be attended while
crossing streets.
Most people are inclined first to
criticize motorists without consider
ing at all the factor of the careless
pedestrian" Maj. Kelly declared.
While it is true that motorists are
all too frequently at fault. the fact
is inescapable that q little more
thought by pedestrians would spare
a large part of the woe resulting
from traffic accidents"
Citing recent official charges of
police force inefficiency, Maj Kelly
promised "a strong effort by the de-
partment to achieve standards en-
viable the Nation over He out
lined features of the proposed re-
organization program, in which the
establishment of an advanced train
