Overcoats Urged for Oregon Troops Returning from Tropics
San Francisco July 1. The tropical uniform of Oregon troops returning from the Philippines fails to guard against fog at the Presidio. Gen Romine says sentries need overcoats or the unit cannot be safeguarded. Gen Summers calls for 1,000 drankers and 6,000 overcoats for home-pointing volunteers. The San Francisco dispatch notes the tropical climate has thinned their spirits and strength, urging immediate provision of blankets and outerwear before departure.
