demanded by governok
SALEM, Ore. Oovemor Withy
combe recently sent a tart telegram
to Secretary of War Baker requesting
that hardships which it is said the
162nd United States Infantry, mainly
Oregon troops, is suffering be elimi
nated.
“the people of Oregon yield to no
other people in their devotion to the
good cause to which the country is
committed.” says the telegram, "but
they are indignant at the apparent
gross neglect of your department and ,
at the inexcusable suffering inflicted |
on these troops.”
The governor declares that he is ad-1
vised on highest authority that the I
162nd infantry is suffering unneces
sarily: that the department has de
prived each man of one of his blan
kets; that the tents at Camp Mills
have no floors; that the thermometer
is 4 above zero, with a penetrating
wind most of the time; that the men
have been unable to secure shelter at
New York, where they went with the
approval of their officers, and that
they are seeking shelter from the ele
ments by making use of churches and
other available shelter.
