Allen, division surgeon, and talked or many matters of importance, "(.'amp Zachary Taylor i.-? recognized at Washington as one of the fore mast training points of the army in the country," said Maj. .McCormack. ' Last week I attended a meeting of the national council of -defense at which it was agreed that this can tonment was uniformly the most sanitary and th" healthiest one in tho United States." The statement was a hiyh compli ment to the eüiciency of Lieut. Col. Allen, division surgeon; ?daj. Luther K. I 'oust, sanitary officer, and the nu-dical othcerd who have 1 eon mi tring in their endeavors to safeguard the health of the command and com bat all diseases that have developed. Members of th national army at ('amp Taylor are given pure, whole some food, and malicious reports spread that spoiled meat was fed to soldiers are stamped as Cerman propaganda falsehoods. Stories of wastefulness and others that kitchen workers have given sides of bacon to civilians are unfounded and no cre dence should be given them, it is an nounced. It is believed that false reports were circulated by enemy agents in order to create unrest among the boys m the tamp and to break down the morale of the folks at home .y needlesIy alarming them. The fact, that food is watched closely is shown in the recovery from a garbage can last Werk of a quarter of beef as it was drawn up to th incinerator platform. It was taken to division headquarters and shown to Brig. Cen. WilU-r K. Wild r and a board of officers probed the affair. Meat experts found that the meat was not tit for consumption and was thrown away by a 4'.th reuiment cook. Kvery pieo of mat issued to mess sergeants is of the best quality and four government inspectors pa.-s on each bit. A eterinarian exam ines the cattle before they are slaughtered; an inspector passes on the meat when it is placed in the cooler; another looks it o r when it is put in cars for shipment, ami at the camp inspectors pass on it before it is accepted and auain when it is i.-sued to company organizations.

Camp's ta heme of installing in the 2' aviation training camps through out the country, a new system of physical exercises by which it Is hoped to cure all over-nervous men in the air service, has been ap proved by Sec'y Daniels and the aviation board. A physical trainer to work under his direction is to be appointed for each camp. supply train In order that its ranks may he filled. The men have receiv ed orders to be ready to move on short notice and they are equipping themselves to leave. Otficers of the division staff say that it is not im probable that the train will reach France much sooner than the re mainder of the Lincoln division, hut that it is a certainty that they will soon be on their way to another camp. South Jlend hoys in the 309th trench mortar battery who were transferred to the supply train are: L L Myers, J. M. Doyle. L. A. Da-m-.nt and H. G. Tatty" Uetz. About 200 officers of the Lincoln division and the ir9th depot brigade were promoted Friday. The promo tions were all in the national army and were made by the war depart ment on recommendation of the di vision commander, who made selec tions from lists prepared by organ ization commanders. The highest rank obtained by the new officers is that of major. About a dozen cap tains were given the right to wear the gold leaf. All officers at camp nre to be subjected to severe physi cal examinations. It has boon rec ommended by Cen. Pershing that no officer more than 40 years old be sent to France, but this has not been acted upon. Corp. J, . Kmmons of the "09th trench mortar battery lias been pro moted to sergeant. The South Bend boys still are in quarantine because of measles, and activities are at a standstill. LABOR AND SUPPLY IN EXACT BALANCE SllW YORK, Jan. 28.

I., Jar.. .Na val authorities today started an in vestigation to determine the cause of the explosion that wrecked threo concrete borrtbproejfs at the naval torpedo station yesterday, cauin the death of 12 civilian employes and injuring seven other?. With the exception of Jarnea Mahoney, all the men work in bombproof No. 2, where th" explosion occurred, were killed. Mahoney and the survivors taken from the other two structures were injured so severely that they could give no account of what hap pened. Capt. Kuward L. lieach. commandant of the station, said that so !ar as hecould learn the explosion was accidental. A few days ago the regular sailor guards about the bombproofs and other naval establishments were re placed by picked men from the United States marino corps. To day the guards at the bombproofs were doubled. The search of the ruins was con tinued until tonight when it was announced that all bodies apparent ly had been recovered. In addition to the 12 dead, however, four em ployes at the bombproofs were still unaccounted for. All 12 bodies taken from the wreckage were posi tively identified as follows: G. (Sib lin; William Caswell: T. K. Wyatt; John Connolly; Joseph Matosea; George Spooner; Joseph Frazier; Timothy Fitzgerald; J. Andrea; John F. Murphy; David J. Sullivan, Jr.; .... Telletiere. With the exception of Pelletier and Fitzgerald all of those killed lived here. Caswell was one of the oldest employes at the torpedo sta tion. Most of the victims were killed outright, but early today, several hours after the explosion, a rescue party discovered two men buried alive in the wreckage of bomb proof No. 1. A pipe was run into sent down to the imprisoned men but when the stones and concrete fragments were lifted they were dead. The injured, all of whom are at the naval hospital, follow; Frank Vetri, Joseph Sullivan George It. Buchanan, James Ma honey, Frederick Anderson, Joseph Walsh, Private Frederick Mills, U. S. M. C. Private Mills is a resi dent of Washington. D. C. The other injured are civilian employes and have homes in this city. Bombproof No. 2 was used fo dryins' detonators after they had been filled with fulminate of mer cury. Capt. Ileach said that not more than 125 pounds of explosiv-j was set cff. The bombproofs were builtinto the ground and it was dui to this fact that the explosion was not widespread. M HOLD MEMBER OF BRITISH MISSION FOR CRITICISM CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Jan. 28. Fergt. Farquhar, of the Seaforth Highlanders and member of ths British military mission at Camp Forrest. Cbickamauga Park, who was placed under arrest Saturday for remarks made at a meeting of the Chattanooga academy of medi cine concerning conditions at th camp, is to be held pending instruc tions from the British embassy at Washington. Capt. Ar. gier, head of the British mission at the camp, declines to dis cuss the affair. Maj. Gen. Erwin, commander of tin; camp, ha'j ad dressed a communication to Capt. Argier, requesting that steps bi taken to prevent any further state ments by members of hid commis sion reflecting on American soldiers. Publication of Farquhar's remarks caused a decided sensation in arm circles at the park, and the mem bers of the British mission are per turbed over the incident. oergt. Farquhar declares that his statement that it required half of the men at the camp to guard the other half and that there were too many men confined to barracks for petty infractions, were made in a jocular vein.
