GEN. W0ODLIKES
COLLEGE CAMPS
Says They Are Helping De-
velop Volunteer Officers
For the Army.

New York, Dec 16.-In order to bring
the United States army up TO 100000, a
force Of 1900 officers would be nee
essary. and there is no better way to
secure and train these officers than
through college camps like those held
last summer at Monterey, Cal, and
Gettysburg, Va. This was stated Tues
day by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood to the
Merchants association Of New YORK
This year we probably shall have
1000 boys in four Of these camps, ne

to war. are about the most cOnserva-

this country what they have in other
countries compulsory training OF
