Medical Exams Near Completion at Alabama Mobilization
Montgomery July 18 All but 12 companies of the Alabama militia have been examined by medical officers and will be passed upon by week’s end. Colonel William F. Weiss, rejected, may receive a second exam though reversal is unlikely. Lieut. Col. Allen Crenshaw may succeed if Weiss is permanently rejected. Lon Johnson of Company H Troy died after an appendicitis operation at St. Margaret's hospital. Three thousand cats distributed to enlisted men provide beds and rain protection. Batteries from Birmingham trained with new army revolvers while camps remain demanding but men stay in good health and spirits.
