accommodations for 5000 men have been
made at the encampment, and, although
enlistment at the recruiting office, 1911
Mount Vernon street, has not reached
that figure. It is expected that late regis
,rstions will tax accommodations OF the
camp to the utmost.
Camp Drexel Biddle has been approved
nv the War Department, and Adjutant
General J. Campbell Gilmore has been
snnointed to the command. He will be
assisted by officers of the United States
Army and Navy, as we'll as those of the
National Guard.

RECRUITS NOT ROCKIES"
The recruits to begin camp life today
are not entirely green" For some weeks
the First Regiment Armory Broad and
Callowhll streets, has been open to men
IN order that they might learn the ele-
mentary maneuvers in the nightly drills,
under the direction of First Sergeant o.
G. Campbell, U. 5. A.
The recruits are to wear regulation
uniform consisting of campaign hat,
blouse trousers, leggins. olive drab shirt
and belt. Each has also been instructed
TO bring a personal outfit consisting Of
comb and brush, tooth brush. tin wash
basin, SOAP towels, wash rag. two blank
cts. a pair of sneakers and pair of
russell shoes.
The cost of the encampment has been
estimated to be about 25 cents for each
man day. Figuring on this basis each
recruit will be required to deposit $500
upon arrival at camp each Friday.
DOCTOR ToMKINs is CHAPLAIN
The Rev. DR.. Floyd w. Tomkins, rec
tor of the Church of the Holy Trinity. is
chaplain of the camp, while a number Of
Philadelphia ministers will be among
those who are to receive military fnstruc-
tion. DR.. Clement Biddle, u. s. N, is
medical inspector. He has, with the aid
Of his assistants, given free medical in
spection to all those who sought enlist
ment.
The camp. organized by A. ]. Drexel
Biddle in connection with the Drexel
Biddle Bible classes, is a new departure In
the work of the latter organization. Mr..
Biddle reconciles the two by asserting
that by preparing for war this country
Is insuring peace.
II do not believe in war;" he said, in
speaking of the camp, land l am not
urging the militaristic idea or any phase
Of II, but believe that in forwarding this
work we are carrying out the mission of
