r wera SUNSET DIVISION. SHIVERS IN TENTS Plenty of Blankets, but Can't Heat Shelter—Frozen Pipes Stop Baths, CAMP MILLS, L. 1, Dee, 12.—There have been approximately 100 oa pneumonia wince the dint ("Sunnet") Division cama to Hempatend Pinins about aix weekn 6 he division fa made up of former National Guard unite from several Western States, Heniden the pneumonia casen, there were thirty-five of carrying #pinal meningitia germa nnd 200 of German measios. The soldiers have suffered muoh hardship from the present cold wave. With the exception of those of offloers, the tents are without floors and heated by small stoves. More than 90 per cent. of the men have not had a bath in more than a month. This has been because open shower baths supplied with ice cold water are the only means available, and most of them have been froren tight since the advent of low tem- perature weather, The good folk of Hempstead, Garden City, Mineola) and surrounding villages have done yeoman service for some of the sol- diers in the way of housing them) and furnishing washing facilities during the past few days. ‘The tents in which the men sleep and try to keep warm gre those for- merly ocoupied by the Rainbow Div- ision. They are much the worse for wear, many being utterly useless and full of holes. There are no perma- ment barracks in the camp except & bullding occupied by the Division Headquarters, Even this ts only temporary and unfit for winter use. Officers questioned regarding the oonditions of the men belittled reports of their suffering. The mon, however, did not mince talk of what they bad undergove since coming here. “When are we going get out of this dump?” asked a private, who was shown the request of Gov. James Whitycombe of Oregon to Secretary of War Baker that prompt action be taken to relieve the conditions bere But the reporter found that most of the men bad two or (nree blankets each and all were equipped wit beavy wuiforms for servige overseas. | Their muia complaint was that they were unable to kep warm in the tents and considered the condition sary, © regiment Tuesday only on faucet was connected with the mais from which water was running. The others were frozen. ‘The open air showor baths looked Lke small skating rinks and some of the soldiers were playing hockey without skates on theif surfaces. The latrines Were not in much better oon- dition, “We came up here from Camp | Greene, Charlotte ,» Where it} was nice id an officer, “and exp! » here for @ iddle of No- jot been permanent vember, Fosy, but we plaint to make, as this and a eol- dier must face most anything, in- cluding bullets.” Another ollicer pointed out that for the past month it would have been feasible to transfer the entire divi- ston to unoccupied armorics in New York. This, he said, would have alleviated undue suffering. During Saturday and Sunday many poldiers were housed in the Elks’ Home at Fre nd in fire engine houses and c! 3 in nearby vile lages, Their officers allowed them to leave camp, as alinost blizzard weath- | @ endangered the health of their oommands. | “Last Saturday night six soldiers Knocked at my door and asked to be allowed to get warm,” said G.
