PLATSBURS CANE A SURGING SEA OF UNCENSORED MUD Even Private Hughes, Son of His Father, Can’t Be Reti- cent About It. (Bpectal from @ Staff Correspondent of The Ere aiog World.) FIRST SENIOR CAMP FOR MIL- ITARY INSTRUCTION, PLATTS- BURG, N. Y., June 6.—There are @ome subjects on which Charles Evans Hughes jr., private in G com- pany, ts no more garrulous than his learned and eminent father. The Closest to him of his seven tent com- Panions decisres that he does not even talk politics in his sleep, and that the mention of “convention” or “nomination” merely causes the young man to show signs of com- Dlete indifference. But there is one gubject on which Charles Evans Hughes jr. is as eloquent as a sixty- piece brass band backed up by an @nvil chorus. That subject is mud, Neither Mr. Hughes, or anybody else, ean find all the words which ought to be said on the topic; the words @re not in any book, It has been hinted that a censor- ship might be brought to bear to Drevent a fuli and free discussion of Platteburg mud in the press. But no honest press could deny that un- Umited quanuties of water falling from the sky and janding upon 750 acres of blavk clay loam, will pro- duce mud, no matter how excellent the drainage. Especially when ‘the feet of 1,800 recruits and about as many regulars and hundreds of horses are kneading the mess. Rain swirling out of . ack foot hills has fullon In torrential bursts every haif hour or so of the last twenty-four hours. Men made rainproof with rubber ponchos, leg- gings and waterprovfed slices, stood in line for “elementary instruction” until their feet began to sink out of sight and they were excused to tho shelter of the squad Halibad pts at drills wer . doned.
