HAS|
 BIC DELEGATION FROM THIS STATE.
Over 300 From Connecticut, Including Many From This
 Vicinity, Enrolled.

Over 500 men have already enroll ed from Connecticut for this years Plattsburg Training Camps. This is about twelve times as many as at tended last year from the state, so the rapid growth of the movement is manifest. More than ,000 have sent in their names from all parts Of the country every state being represented except Idaho. American citizens resi- dent in the Canal Zone, Cuba, Porto Rico, Mexico, Alaska and even France and the Philippines are included.
 Those who have actually attended are the most ardent advocates of these camps. They say that the work is hard but extremely interesting. and so carefully graduated that man in "soft" physical condition has ample opportunity to get hardened up be- fore the "hike" which comes the last week Of 'the four. The fooo. Vht'e r"t elaborate, is gooc and suff'cic;1t. the camp is sanitary and all the ar engagements make for good health. Plattsburgers point out that here is an excellent opportunity for man to "give his vacation to his country" and yet have the most useful vaca- ton he ever enjoyed. They also point out that there is nothing militaristic in the scheme of things, and that MT. Bryan himself could go with clear conscience, since there is no formal obligation of service attached to the enrolment. But they believe that the experience would be decided eye
 ,Dener to him as it is to all who at- tend.
 New Haven county leads the state with abon. goo. Hartford county is second with over 100 Fairfield close third with over 80 and Litchfield fourth with over 60.
 The next camp will begin August 10th and extends to September 9th; after that there is one more camp be-
 ginning September 9th and running to October 9th. There are also four special two weeks camps for doctors. The books are still open and applica- tions may be sent direct to "Officer in Charge, Governors Island, New York" Inouiries may be addressed either to him or to Military Training Camps Association, 31 Nassau St., New York" or to Connecticut Headquarters which are at present in charge of Anson T. McCook, 50 State St., Hartford. Lit erature and information will gladly be furnished from any of these sources.
