AMERICAN CITIZENS
ARE PREPARING

While Congress is discussing plans
for military reorganization, the citi-
zens themselves are doing what they
can to show their practical interest in
the subject OF preparedness. The
work begun last summer by several
thousand men at the camps at Platts-
burg N. ", and Fort Sheridan, Him
OILS, has been continued during the
winter by these men in their various
home vicinities. Local companies
have been formed for drill work and
lecture courses in military affairs.
Interest in this military movement
has spread from coast to coast. 1t
has been estimated that as many as
$4,000 business and professional men
in and near our large cities are now
taking systematic courses in military
training. Cavalry troops and artillery
batteries have been organized as well
as infantry companies. The Nation
al Guard has been strengthened by
tht lHlptluS tnc Stht'
iment and is cooperating with Platts
burg camp men in various cities by
extending the use of armories, rifle
ranges, and other facilities. The un
iversities, also, have caught the spirit
OF military preparation. Harvard has
inaugurated a military course, and
formed regiment of infantry Yale
has organized an artillery battery
Among the land.grant colleges givins
military education, the University OF
Illinois, with more than two thous
and men under military instruction
