WEST OFFERS ITS BEST
TO TRAINING CAMPS;
ALIVE TO SITUATION

CHICAGO, July 23.-The streets
OF Chicago and polis-sub-
urbs now Of Fort Sheridan and Fort
BENJAMIN Harrison-offer striking
evidence today against the impress
sion prevailing in some parts OF the
east that the west is not awake TO
the realities Of war. Everywhere
khaki-clad young men are in evi-
denCe-men who have volunteered
for the task of training TO become
officers for Uncle Sans army of a
million.
on Chicago boulevards every
third or fourth automobile seems to
be driven by a khaki-clad chauffeur.
Among the officers in training there
seems 10 be "A large percentage of
young men in comfortable financial
CircUmstances-or better. The
training camp news which fills the
papers and which is read eagerly by
thousands Of families represented
in the training trenches. contain the
names OF many sons of the money
barons of the west.
on the other hand, the streets are
full Of young men of a different sta
ton Of life. sweethearts on arms in
many cases. Their faces belle any
impression that they may look up
on their khaki and their training as
a lark or an adventure.
indianapolis streets do not con-
tain so many officer drivers OF eX-
pensive cars There the farmer
boys and the recruits from the
states host of small colleges are in
large numbers.
Something in the swing Of the
shoulders. a slump that is distinct
" not military, and a sun squint in
the eve and roughness Of hands,
single out the boys from the country.
That. and the families who meet
them on their Saturday half-hOliday
In town.
Saturday is the day for social
functions and the college boys take
possession OF hotel grill rooms for
hilarious dinners and the like.
But neither here nor in Indianap-
oils does the casual visitor get the
impression that the business of be
coming an officer is a social func-
ton. These young men-from all
walks Of life-have thought il over.
and they are in deadly earnest about
their job. and about the war.
The meaning of their decision has
spread through the west on the
street. at business and in the home
there is evidence OF real thinking
and a very great curiosity regarding
America and the war.
