18 BIG WAR CAMPS ! WARMLY HEATED vdlotmands of American Sol \ dicrs Comfortable nt Train ing Cantonments p Nol*si>than one hundred training camps and stations and a number of eolation Holds are now In full opera ' tlon rutin? men for the shock of bat tle, In all ends of the service. Official Information supplied to the Pennsyl vania committee of public safety In dicates that not far from half of the total number of men training: are en -1 camped in the big National Army cantonments. In these the United States haa sixteen communities Which are military cities. In popula ton two of them are ns big as Lan caster. Sixteen camps, nearly as big as the cantonments, but not built so dur ably, are housing tho National Guard "divisions. Two hundred and iifty thousand men have joined the reg ulars since the war broke out. There are seventeen Regular Army stations and camps being used for tho train ing of these recruits. Seventeen stations are engaged in training men for the Navy, and ma rines are being turned out in three more. Not all tho aviation flelds have been finished —but in a dozen of them cool-headed young men are being taught to light in the air. Nine camps have ,lust rounded oft <he second increment of officers for the Reserve Corps. Five medical camps are in operation, and three camps for engineers. Ail of the larg er camps have been built in the last tsix months. The biggest of them, the National Army cantonments, werei built in three months at a total cost of $150,000,000. Only a little over twice as much was required to build the Panama Canal —and that took ten years. The largest of the cantonments are Camp Lewis, at American Lake, near Tncoma, Washington and Camp Funston at Fort Riley, Kan. The quo ta for each of these camps is about 47,000. In each camp are about 1,400 buildings, lighted by over 20,000 electric lamps. It can safely bo said that no large army of soldiers was ever housed so comfortably before. There will be no freezing this winter. Four of the cantonments situated farthest north have steam heat. The rest have hot air systems. Developing Sound-Spelling Method of Teaching French How Professor de de veloped a modern and simple method for the rapid acquirement of r rench is one of the great constructive achievements to grow out of the war with Germany. The necessity of know ing French was so apparent that the de I.apparent method Immediately became popular. It is made available for everybody in Tho Soldiers-Sailors Diary and English-French Dictionary, a remarkable book of pocket size bound in durable textile leather which is being furnished to readers by news papers of America and Canada. Two primary reasons influenced the papers to undertake this work, first to encourage the study of French as a convenience and as an aid to pro motion and second to encourage the keeping of war records by individuals so that events as they appeared to many different participants might be set down when still fresh in memory. A diary, like a camera. Axes definitely the time and place of important events making a permanent record on the scene of action. The Soldiers-Sailors Diary and Kngllsh-Frcnch Dictionary is being distributed on a coupon plan explain ed elsewhere In this paper. Civilians as well as those in the military serv ice find tho book valuable. Coal Operator on Trial For Murdering Partner Ebensburg, Pa,, Dec. 11.—George C. Tompkins, a coal operator, was put on trial yesterday, charged with the murder of his partner, Edward Humphries, his wife and their son, ■while all were on an automobile trip near Carroltown last July. A jury was selected and the state opened its case this afternoon. GOOD DEER HUNTING Sam Garland, 524 Peffer street, can do more than act as constable for Alderman Fritz Kramme, of the Fifth ward. A recent letter from him tells of the experiences in King Hol low camp, Ferney, Clinton county. In a very entertaining way. Ho says that deer are very plentiful and that the party has bagged four deer, and a bear. One of the deer was an eight proged bnck which ran across a wild erness road, frightening a lumber man's team. The men tracked him through the snow and shot him.
