Historical Society Holds Meeting The Putnam County Historical Society held its January meeting at Boots and Saddle on Wednesday evening with a dinner. After the business session, Mrs. William Boatright introduced Mrs. Walter Evens, whose subject was “Wars Since the Civil War.” Mrs. Evens is particularly interested in the Span-ish-American War since her husband took part in it. She read an account of the part George H Dickson of El Dorado, Kansas had in this war from “The Na- j tional Tribune”—"The Stars and Stripes” published in Washington, D. C. At the time President William McKinley declared war on Spain April 21, 1898, after a number of provocations that culminated in the sinking of the U. S. Battl .- ship Maine in Havana, Cuba Harbor, Dickson had been a member of the Kansas National Guard for two years. He and seventy-five other men in that vicinity enrolled in the Kansas Volunteer Infantry on May 5 They were sent to Topeka and mustered into service on May 13. Ten days later they were shipped to Camp George H. Thomas, Chickamauga, Georgia. It was reported to have been the worst malaria-infested camp maintained during the entire war. Thera were no tents provided for the men. They slept on the ground during this rainy season and drank water from a lake with no outlet from which mosquitos swarmed by the millions. There were 60,000 men stationed there and before long malaria broke out. Scores of men died. On December 10. 1898, they were mustered out of service. Dickson being disappointed at not having been sent to the Philippines, again enlisted on May 16, 1899, this time as replacement for the islands. On June 24 among 2,200 men, he sailed for

• Lon of the Hawaiian Islands to :!:e United States. Fifteen d.iys later they arrive,’, a Manila Bay in the Philippines. Theie they remained on very d .ngerous duty until September of 1901 when peace was declared. SoKiiers ot this war received $5 5 a month with no bonus, no war risk insurance, no adjusted compensation. no vocational training and no hospitalization, until 1922. That one was the only 100 per cent volunteer army the world has known, and furnished every important officer in World War I from the commander in chief on down. It was also responsible for building the Panama Canal, in which the malaria menace was almost eradicated. In 1917 after U. S. entered the conflict, Dickson, past forty years of age and single, decided to enter the service again as a combat soldier. He was assigned
