 The encampn1ent ground also holds 9 place in history. for on one of the higher slopes near the waters edge is a large rock in which a bolt and ring have been driven. According to tradition the ring was used to fasten one end of a wire cable which ex- tended across the river to Fort De- catUr. The cable was placed in pO- sition to prevent the British ships from proceeding farther up the river at the time of the Revolutionary war, and to give an opportunity for the fort to shell them from it's position, fully a hundred feet above.
 5000 Members in United States.
 Eight thousand boys in the United States have been enrolled as members of the United States Junior Naval league. Physical examinations are necessary upon entering camp and
 the result is recorded in a book for that purpose. In this particular book which is kept by the office in
 charge, will be found everything con- cerning the cadet whose names ap- pears on the cover.
 Major Physioc is an army man of much experience. He was a drillmas ter in the New Mexican squadron of Roosevelt Rough Riders during the Spanish American war Of 1898. He served in the Third, U. $. Cavalry and has also seen service under Colonel [ 1Ouu HOW OI ! lll6GLJu C- .. CiNdlTy, at present a part of General Persh- ing's Mexican force.
 General Wood started the move ment at Plattsburg with but 57 men, ' l said Major Physioc in explaining the movement in which his interest is | ccntured. We have every reason to l expect that the Junior Naval league 1 will increase to proportions fully as great as those attained by the Platts- l burg camp. Tn fact. the scope of the work may become eve nbrOader than that at P1attsburgh, which is confined 1 to summer training.'
 Each boy on entering camp is 1n- struCted to have the following equip ment: One dark sweater, one extra l pair of shoes (brOken in), two face l towels, two suits of underwear, four l pairs of socks, one dozen handker- i chiefs, one comb. one brush, one bath l ing suit, one blanket, knife fork and | spoon, one pair of sneakers, and one athletic or running suit.
 Besides the guard tent, there is a l hospital tent in which the majority | of the patients thus far have beer l retired because of eating tCo many | greYl apples and two recitation tents | In the latter there are daily lessons ir l astronomy. military and naval policy l of the United States, geography. Span ish, Theoretical work in military tac- 1 tics, etc.
 l Will Get WhaIeooats and Cutters. l Through the good advises of the | secretary of the treasury Major Phy- sioc has been informed that severa whaleboats and cutters will be loan i ed by the navy department for the 1 use of the cadets in training. These are expected to reach here later in the ] sea son.
 Captain Sterling of the navy yard 1 has expressed much interest in the moveplent and is cooperating in every way possible. Petty officers will be eassigQed from the navy yard to in 1 stract the cadets in nautical work.
