the military encampment at Platts-

another along exactly similar lines
at Camden. S. G.
This encampment," General
Wood said, will begin probably ear
ly in February. 1t will be for the
same purpose and run along the same
lines as the one held at Plattsburg.

campment was wanted in the South
and we had to select some place
which was not far away from one of
our army posts to march regular
troops there conveniently, said Gen
eral Wood. THE men who attend
the Camden encampment will receive
training in military calisthenics, rife
practice, offensive and defensive field
work, camp sanitation. trench dig

the general duties of soldier"

dent to the attention of White House

was learned that the dismissed assis-
tant postmaster, George Burkitt, had
,Xnatnly appealed to the postofiice de-
.ey; easttoto overrule his superior.
Postmaster Kloepfer, according to
published correspondence, called upon
Burkitt to explain remark credited
to him that the President should
wait at least year before remarry-
