The thing that seemed to please General
Corbin the most today was the excellent
manner in which the officers of the quar-

duties Assigned to them. On his return to

expressed the opinion that nothing was
lacking to make the arrangements that
have been made absolutely perfect.
As has been explained II, is to the stan
departments that the work of making the
soldier effective falls. The medical, quar-
termaster's. commissary and ordnance on
GERS branches all have their tasks cut out
for them and they must perform them prop
erly or the entire success of the maneuver
in tune OF peace or the battle in time of
war may be jeopardized. The people of

trict, so 1t can be readily understood just
what 1t means to provide camping facilities
for Just twenty-five times as many officers
and men. A brigade camp can easily be
placed in a space of fifty acres, according
to the officers stationed here. That Is all
that is absolutely necessary, 1t Is said
Here there are almost a thousand acres OF
camping grounds. 1t was at first thought
that the maneuver ground would include
sixty-five thousand acres of territory. and
this was the figure that has been given
out up to today. Now 1t Is understood,
through reports from officers who are max
ing up their lists of the leased property,
that about 10000 acres have been secured.
There are some cases where the govern
ment was compelled to rent entire farms
when only small portion thereof was
wanted. This was made necessary by the
fact that often valuable crops were stand
essary and the rental paid by the govern
ment was not considered by the farmer as
sufficient indemnity for the ground occu-
pied. so the entire farm was secured to COM
pensate the owners of the property for their
probable loss of material and the use of
the ground during the time the troops Will
occupy 1t. The work of fixing up all the
leases has not yet been completed and the
officers of the judge advocate generals de-
partment are even now working with the
property owners.
Two Great Problems.
1t is to the quartermaster department
that has fallen the work of making the
camp habitable for the men and of getting
the men into the camp after it has been
made habitable. This giant task has been
performed almost without hitch. The

For years past the need of such an or

to the stand taken by their representatives

fact that an organised EFFORT must be made

were hardly tents enough in the possession
of the government to shelter the small reg
ular army without taking into account the
thousands of volunteers that were to be
called on. Therefore it can be seen that
such a camp as the one now al Thorough
fare or Manassas was almost IN impoSSi-

ity of the country to meet emergencies has
grown, so the facilities and powers of the

vast amount of detail in this work would
surprise the uninitiated. Not only have
these officers been compelled to lay out the
camps and prepare to supply the troops
with everything they may want but they
have been compelled to surmount obstacles
that seemed to block tn pathway to sue
cess and which appeared insurmountable.
The two great problems the quartermasters
have been called upon to solve were, first.
the transportation of the troops to the
camp. and. second. the housing of the men
after they arrived. The resources of the
officers in charge were severely taxed to
supply the pressing needs of the occasion.
There has never been in time of peace so

one now on this E:aneuver field. Only

preparing for war in time of peace, the
