| WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Crowded
{ conditions and lack of winter clothing
i.m- ascribed as causes of 3,000 cases
j of measles, with 300 cases of resultant
pneumonia and 60-deaths at Camp
| Wheeler, Macon, Ga., according to a
!report submitted today bj; Surgeon |
ueneral William C. Georgas.® The gen
eral demands 50 feet of floor spice for |
{ each soldier and winter clothing for |
all.

Rtated as one
of the best

Sontl o
iof measles is in progress at Camp

| certain other Southern camps, but of
’ ficials said today that everywhere
conditions are now improving. They |
say that winter supplies now are be- .
i.jng rushed to all of the Southern;
camps, as the men in the Nortllerni
camps are at last fully supglied. ‘
The complete report of Surzwni
General Gorgas to the chief of staff as
made public today wag as follows: {
“In my recent inspection of «f‘um;)‘
Wheeler at Macon, Ga., I found con- |
ditions as had been indicated by re
ports. There had been.a sharp epi
demic of measies, sond 3,000 cases,
iand, as always occurs with measles, a |
!certain nuinber of cases of pneumonia. |
:At the time of my visit there v.erc‘
{some 300 cases of pneumonia in the
.{hospita!." While the hospital was
crowded the right of way was gi \-enl
i{o the pneumonia cases and they were ]

E Sixty Deaths in Month. }
i “In the past month there have beer |
about 60 deaths from pneumonia. The« l
iheig‘ht of the measles epidemic was
’passed some ten days ago and at the ‘
time of my visit the epidemic \’.a:=|
markedly on the decline. The pneu- |
]monia, does not develop until a woe;;i
!or ten days after the incidence of the
| measles. “
| “We can, therefore, expect a con- |
siderable number of deaths from
pneumonia.
“The camp is well gituated ang
was in generally good condition. 1
think the reason for the measles af
fecting this particular camp is the
fact that the men came from the sur

Tabernacle Mortgage
Not Burned, But More
Time Has Been Given
ime Has Been G
The mortgage on the Baptist
Tabernacle was not burned at the
Thanksgiving morning service, as
scheduled—but neither was the
mortgare foreclosed. It was an
nounced that at the hour set foi
the service, in spite of the stream
of $1 contributions that had been
pouring in, sufficient funds had
not been received to pay off the
debt in its entirety.
The Rev. J. W. Ham, pastor of
the Tabernacle and directing the
“dollar campaign,” is not at all
downcast.
“Ths is the gréatest. day of
thanksgiving this church has ever
known,” he sald, “and our day of
ultimate victory is only post
poned. The burning of the mort
gage is to take place on Christ
mas Day, without fail. In the
meantime, the mortgage will be
carried for.us. Atlanta has bgen
confronted with a number of
great.and worthy campaigns in
the last few weeks, and now that
all of these are over I am per
fectly -ceptain that Atlanta will
respond in great shape to our ap
peal. I have no doubt the $25,000
mark will be reaciied when the

Dhankggiving accident to be reported
|today was the accidental shoating of
! Gibson Minter and Byron Rhodes, two
white boys, about 18 years old. The

located a flock of wild turkeys they
secreted themselves in some grass in
a fence corner and began calling the

A negro huntsman passing that way
heard the noise in the grass and fired
in that direction, thinking he had seen
a turkey. Both boys were peppered
about the face and head with shot,
but neither was serlously hurt, as the
negro was some distance away when |
he fired. The boys were brought to
town for medical attention and as
soon as their wounds were dressed
they returned to the woods with their
guns without notifying their parents
