Twelve Vast Soldier Cities
About Ready For Occupancy
In the Southeastern States

Washington, Sept. 3.-Twelve vast
soldier cities, training camps for a
great portion of the new American
army, are about ready for occupancy
in southeastern states. In each
camp streets have been laid out. wa
ter mains put under ground and hun
dreds of frame buildings erected
against the coming during September

drawn for service in the National
Army or who are to serve the nation
as soldiers of the federalized National
Guard.

be desired from the standpoint of
comfort, health and convenience to
their inhabitants, Special care has
been taken to insure an ADEQUATE
supply of pure water. in most cases
the adjacent cities furnishing it from
their permanent stations. Although
former National Guard troops are to
live mostly in tents, the number of
buildings erected at their camps is
nearly as large as at the National
Army environments, thus making it
possible to convert them into canton
ments quickly if necessary.
Cantonments are located near
Petersburg, Va, Columbia, S. c.. and
Atlanta, and there are National
Guard camps in the vicinity of Char
lotte S. c., Spartanburg and Green
vile, S. c., Augusta and Macon, Ca,
Montgomery and Admission, Ala !,
Alexandria, La, and Hattiesburg,

Camp Lee, which wal be the tenn
porary home of National Army
troops from New Jersey, Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware, is situated
on a high elevation about half way
between Petersburg, Va, and Hope

the war because of the great explo-

buildings have been erected at this
camp, arranged in a great semi-circle,
In the very center is to be located
camp headquarters and a great space
has been left open adjoining it for a
drill field.
Each building is large enough to
house an entire company and a des-
cription of one answers for all. The
lower floor is given over to the kitch-
en- and mess hall, and the upper floor
provides sleeping quarters for both
men and officers. The latter have
a room to themselves. Quarters
have been provided for 1000 men
At this camp it has been necessary
to install a complete water works
system and the pump house has a
of 5000 gallons a minute.
Fifty-two miles of bitches for water
and sewerage systems have been dug
and fourteen miles of water mains
laid. Although the camp is situat-
ed only a short distance from the
James River, 5000 shower baths have
been installed, as the weather shortly
will be too cold for river bathing. A
large portion of the reservation at
Camp Lee remains to be cleared aid
