War Department Has Established Four Camps for Purpose
of Fitting Pupils From Colleges and High
Schools for Military Life

4 ONE 450 students from colleges
and preparatory schools have
~ lately been proving at the United
States military instruction camp
at Burlington. W. that grit and energy,
coupled with good sense. can cope with
the strategy acquired by military train
ing. one company of infantry and n
troop Of cavalry, both made up of reg
ular soldiers detailed from the Patts-
burg barracks and Fort Ethan Allen
to assist the students. have come to
realize that the students are by no
means kid glove soldiers.
1t is noteworthy that in the sham
battles which have been held almost
every day for the past month the ad-
vantage has by no means been entirely
on the side of the regulars. In one in
stance a company OF regulars securely
intrenchment on a hill We're technically
shot to pieces by a similar number of
student soldiers. The reason for this
lay In an insufflciently guarded flank
of the regulars.
ON this flank was a swamp heavily
thicketed and almost impossible. The
students, with unexpected energy and
enterprise, literally hacked their way
through the brush and brambles and
poured voley after Volley down upon
their surprised opponents. \ flag Of
truce was soon raised 10y the regulars.
Although the umpres said that the
technical number of dead and wounded
On the side Of the regulars was appal-
ling, the students were actually the
greatest sufferers as scratched arms
and faces, To say nothing Of torn uni
forms, proved To he stern realities.
The students instruction camp at
Burlington is one of the four conducted
by the Government under the direction
II the War Department. They are in
tended for the instruction Of educated
young men in military life and tactics.
II Is hoped in this way to fit the stu
dents To discharge better their military
duties To- their country should it ever
stand in need Of their services.

persisted in the belief that IL was an

scene ana explained matters. His troop
