1900 Schoolboys
Pitch Tents To-day
at Peekskill Camp
Youngsters Begin Four Weeks
Military Training Under
Militia Supervision

The old National Guard camp
grounds near Peekskill will again be
occupied to-day, when 1900 schoolboys
from all parts Of the state pitch their
tents on the plateau for four weeks
stay.
It will be the first military camp for
schoolboys in the country. More than
one hundred military and physical in
structors from the schools of the state
will have charge of the boys. with
Colonels Chaplin and Baruch. OF Major
General Organs staff, in command.
The civilian director will be Thomas C..
Stowell, secretary of the State Military
Training Commission, which has gen
eral supervision Of such training for
schoolboys.
The course of instruction will in
clude military tactics and target prac-
tice. about 1000 Krag-J -Jorgensen rifles
having been obtained. The boys, whose
ages are from sixteen TO eighteen
years, were selected from large num-
ber of applicants by the principals Of
their various schools. The only ex-
pense to the campers is the cost OF
their individual outfits. The state.
under a legislative appropriation, IL
paying the entire cost Of transporta-
ton, food and incidental charges.
A good deal Of play will be included
with each days work. time being set
aside for baseball. tennis and water
sports. 1t is the intention OF the cam
directors 10 make every boy swimmer
by the time the camp closes.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton has established a tent station in
the camp and will give motion picture
shows in the evenings. Provision has
been made for religious services for
Jews, Catholics and members of the
Protestant denominations.
Many of the boys from New York
City will leave the Grand Central this
morning on a special train.

Want Draft Based
On State 8 Eligibles,
Not on Population
Bill Introduced in Senate and
House to Equalize Conscrip-
ton Burden
From TIE Tribune Bureau


Washington, June Ex-senator Cal
der. of New York, and Representative
Rogers, Of Massachusetts, to-day intro
duced In the Senate and House a bill
TO amend the draft law so as to make
the basis Of spportioning troops among
the states and subdivisions of states
the population liable 10 military ser
vice. and not, as at present, the total
population of the states and sub-divi-
sions.
Discussing this proposal, Mr.. Rogers
said:
"As the law now stands the total
population of state, as compared to
the total population of the United
States, determines the quota of the
states troops. Aliens are included in
the total population, and hence are
counted in fixing the quota, but are eX-
cluded from liability TO military SER
vice. 1t is disclosed by the tables just
made public by the provost marshal
general that states like Arizona. Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, Nevada, New
York and Rhode Island have an alien
population Of from % to 40 per cent,
while states like Alabama, arkansas,
George, Mississippi, North and South
Carolina and Tennessee have an alien
population of but fraction of l per
cent.
"The chance that q citizen in one Of
the former group OF states who is
eligible under the draft law will be
held to military service is very much
greater than that of q citizen in one
Of the latter group. The universal
service law is based on principles Of
democracy, equity and ia ness, but
there is neither democracy, equity nor
fairness in this. Liability to service
should be the basis of the quota.
"The inequality goes still further.
We have seen that New York and Mas
sachusetts bear a wholly unfair bur-
den. Cities within those states hav-
ing a great alien population, like
greater New York, Boston, Lowell and
Lawrence, Mass, will bear a grossly
excessive share of that unfair burden.
"The amendment simply adds the
words liable under this act to military
service after the provision In Section
2 establishing the quota of states and
subdivisions thereof in proportion to
the population thereof"
