that vlcous conditions existed about army

The following statement was authorized by
Ceneral Jtafferty:
"Any reports that conditions at Camp

under the guise of legitimate business In
the morals of the young men composing this
division.
"The military police are co-operating
Closely with the civil authorities and are
receiving practical assistance there. So
close has been this co-operation and so ef
fective the scrutiny by the military police
that I have no hesitancy In saying that in
my opinion the moral surroundings of thts
camp could not be Improved. Nothing that
can effect the physical or moral welfate of
the men Is being overlooked."
Colonel H. li Ooodvvyn, of Virginia, has
