MILITARY TRAINING CAMP QUOTA IS INCREASED

Major General Preston Brown, commanding the First Corps Area, has just received authority from the War Department to train 3500 young men at the Citizens' Military Training Camps in New England this year. Last year the quota allotted to New England was 3000. A 500 increase for this year will give a great many young men who were unable to secure a place at camp last year an opportunity to receive the benefits of these camps which the Government offers free of all cost. These camps are an outgrowth of the famous "Plattsburg Idea" and are devoted not only to military training but to building of American character in the citizens of tomorrow. Good citizenship is the foreword of these camps and their product is a fine young American with a trained mind, body and character that fits him to give a good account of himself in his business or professional, career and in upholding the ideals and purposes of his Government. There will be five camps in New England, Camp Devens, Mass., Fort McKinley, Portland, Maine, Fort Ethan Allen, Burlington, Vermont, Fort Terry, near New London, Conn., and Fort Adams at Newport, Rhode Island. These camps offer to the young men of New England a fine opportunity. to participate in all types of athletics and to meet and make friends with young men from nearby counties and states. Those young men who desire to attend one of these camps should apply immediately to the officer in Charge, C. M. T. C. Affairs, Army Base, Boston, Mass.
