BY f. w. Davidson.

Five Abilene boys are at Fort
Sheridan taking the officers trainine
camp work. They are: p. N. Gleis-
sner, H. w. Rohrer, Paul Roger

w. Davidson returned few days age
because of Illness and gives the Re-
Sector the following interview re-
garding the work and conditions at
the camp:
Fort Sheridan, H., located on the
western shore of Lake Michigan,
twenty-six miles north Of Chicago, Is
enc OF the smaller of Uncle Sam s
forts. At present there are approx
mately four thousand men stationed
there taking the training to equip
themselves as officers in the reserve
army.
Men from Colorado Kansas and
Missouri are housed In stone bar
racks containing shower and tub
bathing facilities, hot and cold run
ning water. steam heat and electric
lights. The Wisconsin and Illinois
sontingents are housed in wooden
barracks built expressly for their oc-
eupancy. or the two, the stone bar
racks are decidedly the best.
The officers acting as instructorcs
are gentlemen In every sense. The
moral surroundings of the camp are
excellent, vice in any form not being
sountenanced However, the time Isl
too well employed to permit of much
DEPRESSION. What spare time the can
didates are privileged to call their
own Is well utilized in improving
their immediate surroundings and
taking care of their correspondence.

and relatives and friends of men sta
tioned at these forts and canton
nents would be doing a commend

the connecting link between those
men and the outside world.
A Y. M. G. A. Is stationed within
the camp, where the men may CON
gregate. Writing material Is furn-
ished free and entertainment provid-
cd in the form of singing, speaking,
etc. Each Sunday evening an enter
tainment is held in the gymnasium
for the benefit of the entire fort
This entertainment may consist of
an address by some speaker of inter-
