Biggest Spender" in Texas,

Has 75,000 Pairs of Shoes in San Antonio—Is
Short on Nothing Army Needs but Cots,
and They 're Being Rushed.
TWO THOUSAND MORE ARE MET
BY RED CROSS WOMEN AM)
GIVEN REFRESHMENTS.
[ FUNDS SHE NEEDED
Almost two thousand soldiers passed
through Sail Antonio yesterday and left
singing the praises of the Mission City,
as JO,(KM) others have done In the last two
weeks.
They began arriving at an unwelcome
hour, but were welcomed nevertheless by
members of the Red Cross Society, who
were at the San Antonio & Aransas Pas*
depot at (> o'clock in the morning to Iced
a hungry bunch of men who in sortie man-
ner had become-separated from their cook
train.
Although no chairman had accepted for
the day, the good work was not to be
discontinued for this reason. When Mrs.
William Aubrey was aroused at daybreak
and informed that a troop train was
headed for the station, she was determined
nor to let them get through without being
shown tlie proper courtesy. She, with Mrs.
A. B. Spencer, Mrs. Albert Maverick, Mrs.
T. J. Nye. Mrs. Joseph Meyers and Misses
Mary and Jean Aubrey, made a rush for
provisions ami opened their little store
on the platform, where hungry boys eager-
ly grabbed for their "handouts."
Mrs. L. B. Ciegg as treasurer of the so-
ciety, made the first steps in feeding the
soldiers with a donation of $30 from the
general fund, the amount alloted to each
chairman for the day. Other contributors,
appreciating what the Red Cross is doing
and wishing to give assistance, came to
the rescue. Voluntary workers seeing that
the little committee was short-handed,
gave help In serving and every soldier
was refreshed.
The new-comers hailed from Minnesota,
bound for they knew not where. Besides
the railway sections at 0 o'clock, others
arrived at 9 o'clock in the morning and
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
"We heard about you people before we
left home," said one husky fellow. "We
thought it was just a dreamy dream but
now we believe every word of it. Three
cheers for the San Antonio ladies, boys,"
he called, and cheers resounded through
the station walls.
Mrs. J. M. Vance and Mrs. Spencer
worked all morning pouting coffee. Mrs.
Aubrey dipped our four tubs of ice water,
while others passed the bread and butter.
The last section received ice tea and
sandwiches.
Many citizens were at the station and
offered to take the officers to town but
they spurned the invitation, saying that
they preferred to stay with their men
and enjoy the repast offered by the good
women at the station.
"I wish to thank those who so kindly
assisted with their contributions," said
Mrs. Aubrey, and presented her list, as
follows: .1, L. Sinclair, use of automobile;
D. R. Gondri^h, milk and cream; A. F.
Henry, ice; Maverick-Clarke, two gross
pencils; T. Taylor, deviled ham and
peaches; Mrs. R. |{. Gaines, $10 worth of
watermelons; J. H. Halm, deviled ham,
and contributions of money, Mrs Albert.
Maverick, $L\50; Mrs. Jack Meyers. $1;
Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Hazel, .*1; Mrs.
Small, $1: Miss Helen Arthur, 50c; Mrs.
Arthur, L'fic; Miss Caroline Hazel,
Among the contributors to the general
fund as announced by Mrs. Clcgg were:
Mrs. Mattie Dlttmar, jfl; Mrs. i: A. Walk
er of Center Point. $1 ; Mrs. otto Wnfir-
inund, $10; a friend, Mrs. I). Murrah,
$1: Winchester Kelso Jr., $10.
Funds in the treasury are said to be
getting low, that contributions must be
made if the work is to continue. The
women feel*that the citizens will not let
I he movement die for need of nione\ and
are holding to the hope that friends to
the cause will rally to its support.
The courtesy of the Ked Cross in wel
'•tilling the soldiers is now known in everv
corner of the t inted States. Letters have
been coming daily from fond mothers,
thanking the women for what they have
done for their boys. One letter addressed
to the editor of The Fx press is as follows:
"W ill you kindly allow me space in voui
pfcpcr to thank those good women of your
city who extended such generous hospi-
The "biggest spender" in Texas is Colo-
nel Harry L. Rogers, but he isn't a spend-
thrift. His position on Funston's staff
as chief quartermaster of the Southern
i I 'cart incut makes it his duty to spend
| money "right and left" in little wads of
i !>'J.\0<)0 or #50,000. Little wads!
Just imagine a sum like one of those in
; greenbacks wadded up, then the squeeze
I removed. Wouldn't there be a squirming,
then a pile of tantalizing tens and twenties
and oiu' hundreds! But Colonel Rogers
is used to trifles of that sort, or at least
to handling Fncle Sam's checks that rep
resent such piles.
For instance -there are 75,000 pairs of
army shoes in San Antonio. Twenty thou*
sand pairs are in the Quadrangle at Fort
Sam Houston. Just sort of a shelf stock:
Each pair cost $2.81.
Colonel Rogers said the army is short
on nothing except tent cots. That means
a whole lot. It probably is more than
can be said for any other army. It means
there is food, clothing, arms, tents -every-
thing. And cots are coming to the de-
pail incut by the thousands. They are not
kept Ui stock, and 100,000 extra cots is a
big order to fill instantly, all of which is
the reason for the shortage.
And it Is laurels on the colonel's tree
that nothing is lacking. It is up to him
to do the marketing, and the fact that the
bins are fully and the shelves creaking
with their weight must indicate that he is
at the market early and late.
As a matter of fact, however, the mar-
ket comes to him. He is besieged by
salesmen callers. He does not buy every-
thing the army uses, but a great deal of it.
Regiments at Camp Wilson will leave
for "outdoor sports" at Lamia's Park, New
Braunfels, and for Leon Springs when the
men get shoes. One should say brigades
rather than regiments, since General Funs-
ton has pointed out that so small a unit
as a regiment' is not mentioned any mor«,
in speaking of troop movements. So shoes
are being issued as rapidly as possible.
The rapidity isn't great. Some company
commanders in making their requisitions
have failed, through inexperience, to get
their lists correct according to regulations,
ami the requisitions have been returned
more than once.
Requests for shoes are filled promptly,
and it. is believed equipment in these urtt
cles will complete soon.
Mosquit^ bars are another article issued
to soldiers. one hundred thousand of
them cost something, too. Double ones are
obtained for $1M.HJ and single ones for $2.10.
Double refers to weight and not to size.
Each mosquito bar is for one bunk.
One hundred thousand single bars—and
the Government may have double that
number cost $'J10,000. Shoes to the num-
ber of To,000 pairs cost $210,750.
Gasoline costs the Government from 21
to 20 cents a gallon, according to where It
is delivered. That delivered here is 22
cents a gallon.' The previous contract price
was l) cents a gallon.
Such a vast amount of supplies have
accumulated in the Quadrangle that tents
are used for shelter. And office room Is
in such demand that a tent lias been put
up for Captain Erickson, one of Colonel
Rogers' assistants in the construction de-
partment. Another building was begun
Friday in the Quadrangle for a telegraph
office. The corps of telegraphers constant-
ly at work will be moved from an office
within the Quadrangle wall.
Several men who are efficient themselves
and recognize that quality, say that Colo-
nel Rogers' efficiency runs into the tentn
degree. They point as proof that he,
coolly and swiftly, reaches decisions, makes
good bargain and in buying for an army
of 150,000 men forgets nothing that Is
needed, and is short only one thing—cots,
and that through no fault of his own.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex., July 15. Despite
the fact that they have been living under
the most disagreeable weather conditions
until today, the United States regular
and State troops on this border are in
first-class condition as to health and the
percentage of sickness is less than 2 per
cent, when two and a half is considered
normal, according to a statement today
by Major William N. Blsphau, surgeon
in charge of the Brownsville district.
Dr. Bisphani made the statement t'ol
lowing a special inspection made in the
camp of the First Illinois Cavalry here
today. He pointed out that in the eleven
days the men have been here there have
been only five cases of sickness. The spe
cial inspection was made following re-
ports sent out of Brownsville, that most
disagreeable and unhealthy conditions ex
isted in the Illinois camp and that a large
percentage of men had become ill.
Army medical men generally in the army
here are well pleased with health condi-
tions.

Thanks of the officers and men of the

have been conveyed to the women of the

to tender to the ladies of the Red Cross
of San Antonio, Texas, in behalf of our-
selves and the men of the Third Rat

General Funston has won again for
his army. A few thousand over a half
million dollars, $534,000, has been granted
to the department commander to spend
for screen wired kitchens and messrooms
for all soldiers along the border, from San
Antonio down. General Funston urged
more than a week ago that the money be
granted. The War Department granted
practically every request the general has
made in any matter.
The kitchens and messrooms to lie built
will be Identical to those used by the
citizens' training regiment. They will be
given to every company, troop and battery
at Fort Sam Houston, and to the hundreds
of similar units up and down the Rio
Grande.
The doctors say these shacks will mean
better health. Flies will be kept away
from the food supplies, from the food in
preparation and from the mess kits of the
soldiers. Crumbs will not. be scattered on
the ground to attract ants and flies. (Jen-
era I Funston looked at In another way.
"The men will not be compelled to sit
on the ground in the dust or stand in
the in ml to eat," he said. "No •soldier likes
to do that, even when they have to. The
men will be able to sit at the tables behind
tight screens with a shade-giving roof over
their heads. That will be much better and
more comfortable for them."
Men who have soldiered with General
Funston say It is characteristic of him
"to look out for the men."
General Funston explained that screen
structures were not built for the Texas,
Arizona and New Mexico militia because it
was not believed their camps would be
permanent.. He pointed out that the Texas
Cavalry has been moved from the Laredo
district, and had they possessed screen
structures they would have had to leave
them. Rut it appears the camp at the
I'ost now will be there some time.
"If the screen is utilized two months,"
the commander said, "they will be worth
while."
"Every screened kitchen and messrooni Is
one 73 centimeter more in our battery for
bluffing away disease." a doctor declared.
"There practically is no sickness in the
big camp, according to Lieutenant Colonel
K. L. Munson. chief sanitary inspector of
the department.
A course of medical lectures is being
given to officers of the Medical Corps. The
tirst of the series was given Thursday
night, of last week. The others will be
Tuesday and Thursday nights.
Captain Robert 11. Pierson, chief sani-
tary inspector of the camp, inspects thor-
ough^ every day for waste that might,
draw flies, and is getting knowledge In-
stilled so thoroughly into those on whom
he depends that the camp becomes cleaner
daily, if such is possible.
The biggest feature remaining to get into
a satisfactory condition is drainage from
the bathhouses. So many men use each
bathhouse that a stream of soapy water
runs from ea< h one These streams Join
and flow to larger ones until on the south
side of the camp site there is a small
river. No water stand*, but in places it
makes puddles. I »r. IMerson Is enforcing
his rule that perfect drainage must be es-
tablished.
Regular soldiers at the San Antonio Ar-
senal have screened kitchens and dining
rooms, hs have practically all the regulars
