CIVILIANS WILL TRAIN
AT FORT TERRY

Fort Terry is to be transformed into
a second Plattsburg during the month
Of July, when civilians numbering any
where from 500 to 1900 will be en-
camped there for the purpose of gain
ing knowledge of military tactics at
first hand. The encampment, which
will not be under the general charge
of the war department, but instead un-
der the personal supervision of Major
General Leonard Wood, will be con-
Quoted along lines similar to the IA
nous New York state camp of last
summer, it was stated, at Fort Wright
1t was further said that the camp
will probably be made up largely of
business men, many of them from this
section. General Wood has been re-
ceivfng applications for an opportunity
to participate in the training from
many who had learned that the en-
campment was to be held and it is in
timated that there will not be room
enough to accommodate all who wish
to attend. Applications will be grant
ed in the order in which they are re-
cetved, and bit was stated at Fort
Wright that all men of suitable age
are eligible to apply.
No definite details of the encamp-
ment have been received other thar

tons could be furnished for the stu

ious to secure some knowledge of mill

in the affirmative, but no other CORE
