| General Macklm said yesterday morn
| ing that he would see that the business
men of Baltimore who want TO find out
what was being done at the camp are
given ample opportunity to do so. a
special committee has been appoint
ed for this purpose, and invitations to
the officers of hte Chamber of Com
merce, Merchants and Manufacturers
Association and other trade bodies win
be sent out within a few days
The review will be held toward the
latter part of the camp term. and an
effort will be made to have all the bust
mess men attend at one time. If, how
ever, there are any who cannot attend
on review day, but wish TO see the
Icamp, General Macklin will see that ac-
commodations are provided for them.
1t is believed that such an actual
participation in the camp life by the
business men will go far in causing
them to realize the need of and benefits
derived from the training of the young
linen in their employ.
Helped by Artillery Visit.
II. Finley French, secretary Of the
Defense League, said yesterday that
the exhibit maneuver of the United
States artillery company which en-
camped in the northern suburbs last
1 Saturday. had done a great deal to=
ward arousing interest in the Glen
burnie camp and that good results
were expected.
Several former officers from the
| militia of Baltimore have decided to
| enlist for the Saunders Range camp so
that they may brush up their military
training. They will go into the ranks
as privates and accept the general
work as if they had no previous train
ing. Three new names were added to
the roll yesterday at the office of the
| Adjutant General.
They were: Clifford l.. Knight 800
Warren street, Baltimore: Milton w.
Burder, Edmmondson avenue. Balti-
more; Robert L. Condit, 914 Payson
street, Baltimore. This brings the
number up to 40, and half a dozen 9th
ers have promised TO sign. A number
of young men called for application
blanks yesterday.
