a location there which has been Of

While Richmond still has oppor-
tunity to secure the camp, and the
chamber OF commerce has offered to
aid In any way to make Richmond
the mobilization center for the state.
1t is the purpose OF the military
authorities to consider every loca-
ton In the state which would appear
to answer the requirements for a
camp. Sherwood Park In Richmond
has been pronounced satisfactory. but
II appears that some doubt exists as
to whether the use of the grounds can
be arranged.
The site offered by Petersburg lies
near the crater, Is within five city
blocks of Petersburg. can he equip
ped with water and electricity. and
the ground Is high and dry. Colonel
Stern and Major Potts will go over
the ground this morning. and make
their report TO General Sale. Roa-
noke and Norfolk have also offered
sites and these cities will be visited
this week. Other towns In the state
which have offered locations are
Chase City and Hampton.
The war department has notified
General Sale that the camp must be
sufficiently large to accomm odate
5000 men. 1900 horses and equip
iaent. and 1t has placed the smallest
area at 200 acres. II must have rail-
road facilities and be near enough to
