JERSEY SITE is CHOSEN
$77,0oO0,o0o Was Appropriated for
Tiirty-two Divisions, But 1t Would
Take 100000.

lGlrty-tWo ClVlSiohS, Dul IL "oSS
Take s150,OoO,OOo.
Il was explained at the war
department that the decision 70
reduce the number of army can
tonments from thirty-two to SIX
teen, and to quarter the men unpro'
vided for in tents, had been reacheu
because the cantonment system had
been found nearly twice as expensive
as expected, owing to lack of Labor,
material and transportation facilities,
and to the great increase in tentage.
A site at Wrightstown, Burlington
county, N. J., was officially selected.
Only three others have been definitely
selected.
"The original plan was TO Dulla
thirty-two divisional cantonments ana
the department commanders were call
ed upon to appoint boards to study the
situation and to recommend thirty-tWo
such places" said an official statement.
"The quartermaster generals depart
ment. with the council of national de-
fense, found, however, that the cost
would be beyond the appropriation
which congress is considering. That
appropriation is $77,000,OO0, and the
estimated cost is $150,00),CO0.
Another factor was the lack O: Ia
bor, material and transportation IA
oi1itias for these camns. Further, tie
tentage which originally was sho t,
has now increased so that we are alb e
to have some of the forces in tents.
The war college recommends that the
number of cantonments be cut to six
teen. That has been done, but the
sites of these sixteen have not been
definitely settled. The chief Of staff
is in communication with department
commanders about it.
$50 far as possible, the tent camps
will be in the south because of the
weather conditions. These changes
will not cause any delav in the time
of call Of the national guard. or the
new army. but will necessit7te some
redistribution by departments"
These cantonment sites, besides that
in New Jersey, have been selec 'e1:
Ayre, Mass: American Lake, Wash
ington, and Atlanta, Ga.
This rearrangement disarranges
many tent7tive selections which have
been announced as practically assured.

106,331 men.
The British offensive on the Arras
front, involving some of the severest
fighting of the war, naturally has re-
suited in q large increase in casual
ties over the inactive winter season.
In February the total reported was
only 1243 officers and 17.1S5 men.
The assertion Of the British that
their losses are fifty per cent sma Ter
than in tre battle of the S mme, not
withstanding that lar~e forcrs are en-
gagcd. is not borne out by the May
figures. However, in the absence OF
the report for April, early in which
month the offensive was launched the
showing is not conclusive. The casu'

months of the Somme drive were 307
