THE FULL PACK mentioned have been assisted by a great number of people. You all -have platoon com- manders. They have done the closein work of these camps and to them also is due a great amount of the credit for the splendid work you have done. One of the great points of a camp is supply. You know somebody, I think it was Napoleon, said that an army moves on its stomach. That means the supplies must be furnished. Long before you young men showed up, Captain Foley of the 17th Infantry was busy getting your shirts and your socks out and arrangingisq that you would be properly clothed, so that you could go through the processing and get your clothes on at the rate of one hundred and eighty an hour. Captain Foley's work has been splendid. ' The medical examinations were conducted by doctors of the Disciplinary Barracks, loaned by Colonel Cress-one of the best lines of work I ever saw done and you know how rapidly you went through that.. . . . - . A good manyof you have been more or less hungry at times and, as far as I can learn, practically every time you went to the mess shack you came back in sue-hgcondition that, if you felt the way when you went there that you did when you came away, you could hardly have eaten a thing. Captain Longacre has attended to this,,working day and night, assisted by Sergeant McAllister, who has been in immediate charge, of the cooks. In addition to these two, the cooks have worked hard. Perhaps some of youfhave noticed it has been pretty , hot some of these days and for a man to stand in a hot kitchen and cook over a hot stove for one hundred and forty youngsters three times a day is hard work. They have .done ,good work and they have treated you pretty well. You have all gained and that is the answer to good-treatment.. Major Smith has assiste in s owingyou pe p . Some of you, perhaps, become annoyed by,the instructions of medical oliicers. I don't when I am in command but I do when I am under somebody else. It is a very necessary nd essential thing and if you will take the same thought back to your home town, you will 3 . . have a more sanitary and a more beaigtiful town than when you left there. ' ' ' f ' k 'n I ou out of The question of keeping you young men busy in the a ternoons, eepi g y 'mischief and keeping you fit physigally devolved upon Major Weaver, who had charge who had a good deal 'to do with keeping you out of mischief and,giving you a good time is I I ' 'f Major Rucker. Both of. these men have worked very hard keeping you busyg I have sometimes thought they kept you too busy. The amusements, athletics and entertainments fell ,upon ,Major Weaver and Major Rucker and their assistants. ' The moralejside of your work has been handled by the chaplains. It has been most pleasing to have this camp go off so smoothly, with no disorder, no rough stuff, to see the men behave themselves. Chaplain Cohee was the camp chaplain, assisted by Father,Tierney, Father Martin, and Rabbi joseph. We have tried to meet all branches of religion, because we believe in churches. We don't care what your religion isg it makes no difference,'practic- ally, What. your religion is, but if you will live up tdpyour' religion, live up to the chiirch's precepts, it will make you better g citizens. VVe believe in churches, no matterf what denomination. 'We recognize no denomina- tions, we are for them all, These men have nrjfgj-73 d ' h ' N how o le should live in a sanitary way of 'athletic instruction, and another man T helped in keeping this camp in splendid order.
