BROWNSVILLE

Of BIG CAMP

No confirmation Of the report could be

Antonio and completed it, work
Ii i estimated that il would require
about twenty gallons of water per day per

Officers for the division of the new ma
tional army probably will be named from
the regular army and from the men who
are given commissions in the training
camps when they close in August
While details on the plan of the war
department are lacking il is believed at
Fort Sam Houston that the best camp
sites available in the Southern department
will be utilized regardless of present con-
struction and il will be the duty Of the
boards to find places best suited form "a
view point Of climate. supply, accessible
ty andother consideration. Their recon-
mendations probably will be accepted "a
final and no attention paid to "wire pull
ing from cities desiring camps.
In connection with the bringing of the
national guard Of the states TO war
strength it is pointed ont by army officers
that young men who are opposing to being
conscripted can evade il by volunteering
and joining guard regiments. Each one
of the states will have to form new units
and there will be great demand for men
TO fill them. Their forces all will be filled
on the volunteer plan.
No date was set in the order received
Thursday for the mobilization of the men
but j. probable that national guard out
fits will he ordered into camps Just a.
soon a. the sites have been selected and
prepared. The men in the division Of the
new national army will be called to the
colorS the last part Of August or the first
Of September and will Immediately be sent
into this department to the camp selected
for them.

Big Rapids.

The first annual triangular debate
between Big Rapids, Ionia and Alma
will be held on Friday evening, April

three cities on the question Of the gov
eminent ownership of railroads.

the same as the teams which defeated
Mt. Pleasant high in debate on this
same question last week Thursday
evening. Alma will uphold the ne
gative against Ionia at Ionia and the
affirmative team will debate with Big
Rapids here.
Pettyjohn, Olmstead and Desmond
composed the negative team which
will go to Ionia and Sharrar, Notes
stein and Wyatt compose the affirma-
tive team which is to meet Big Rap
ids.
The question to be debated is Re
solved, That the Railroads of the
United States should be owned and
operated by the Federal Government. A"
II is a question that is most timely in
view of the recently attempted rail
road strike. and should make a sub
ject that is fine one for debate.

College Will Meet Olivet and Hope
In Debate.


Professor Hedges, the coach in de-
batting, announced his men who will
represent Alma in the coming Tri-
angle debate, which is to be held on
the first Friday after school starts
after the spring vacation, April 18th.
Alma will be represented by Linton
Melvin, captain, a member of last
years successful negative team which
won from Hope; Carl Titus and Efford
Beverly with Edwin Boyne as alter
nate on the affirmative, and these men
will debate at home against the
Hopeites. The visitor promise to send
a crack set of debators and the Alma
men will have to work hard in order
to come out victorious. The negative
team, which will debate at Olivet, is
comprised Of Howard Burtch, captain,
who debated against the same
team on the home floor last year;
Floyd Kruger and Thomas W..
Wright with Charles Creaser as al
ternate. This team headed by Burtch
is after victory from Olivet so that
things may be evened up from last
years argument.
With these men on the platform,
Alma stands a pretty good chance for
a double victory, but every man must
work, and he must receive the sup
port of the whole college.
The question which the triangular
dc batting league settled upon to de-
bate this year is one of interest, and
was proposed by Alma college. The
question is Resolved, That with Re
srect to immigration the United
States should accord to the Citizens Of
China and Japan, the same Treatment
that is Extended to the Citizens of
European Nations"
The annual debate will be held Fri
day evening. April 18th. Alma will
debate with Olivet at Olivet and with
Hope college at Alma. The debate
here will be held in the Alma college
chapel, and lively contest is expect
