What effect the acceptance of the

ers this morning. No definite plans

officials.
Christopher A. Iibler, general man
ager of Swift & Company here, when
interviewed this morning, as to
whether the plans of the Chicago
packers would have any effect locally,
said that he had received no informa-

TRAINING CAMPS
TO OPEN MAY |
Pennsylvanians Will Drill at
Madison Barracks and
Fort Niagara

The elimination of Plattsburg and
the other civilian training camps for
this summer has caused considerable
speculation among men who had filed
applications for admission to the
camps. Provision had been made for
these men, and for officers of the re-
serve corps, in the order issued yester
day afternoon by the War Depart
ment, announcing the location of the
officers training camps. The differ
ence between the former Plattsburg,
Fort Oglethorpe. Fort Benjamin Har-
rison and Monterey camps and those
that will be established next month
is that attendance at camp this sum
mer implies an obligation to enter the
army in the capacity of an officer, if
such commission be granted at the
conclusion of the training period
According to advices from Wash
ington, the camps Will be ready May
1 and the course of instructions will
begin one week later. Pennsylvan-
ians will go into camp at Madison
Barracks, New York, where part of
New York State and the Tenth, Elev-
enth, Fourteenth. Fifteenth, Sixteenth,
Twenty first, Twenty-hfth and Twen-
ty-eighth Congressional districts of
Pennsylvania will be located. Fort Nj
aSara, New York, very. attractive
location, will be the training ground
for the remainder of the Pennsylvania
contingent, including men from Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg.
Recruiting for the Plattsburg
camps has been held up pending the
War Departm announcement, but
will be resumed in accordance with
the new provisions at once Harris
burg will be we'll represented If the
interest shown in the training camp
idea is any criterion.
The camp for the New England
States will probably be at Fort Ethan
Allen, and Plattsburg barracks will be
used for part of the New York State
contingent. New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia will in all
probability send their quota to Fort
Meyer, Va, and the other States will
have camps at convenient and suitable
points. Transportation, subsistence
and uniforms will be provided for the
officers o-be by the Government.
