During the quaran- tine no soldiers will be permitted to leave the camp and civilians will be barred from leaving the main public high- way. Should the disease continue to spread it is possible the main high- ways, known as the Columbus and Frankfort pikes, will be closed at both ends of the camp. Major E.K. Campbell, new Provost Marshal has increased his guard force by between 200 and 300 men, with instructions not to allow no persons to leave or enter. Men have been ordered to sleep alter- nately, head to feet. All bedding will be aired daily, barracks floors mopped once daily with lye water, the use of brooms is prohibited, barracks will be inspect- ed once once before and once after mid- night, and men who are ill will be segregated into one or more squad rooms, as the necessity demands. Traffic on camp streets not oiled is prohibited. Arrangements have been made whereby rel- atives of sick soldiers will be able to go and visit them. Such per- sons will first go to the base hospital on the Frankfort pike and con- sult with the command- ing officer, who, in his discretion, may give passes for the purpose of visiting sick relatives wherever they may be located.
