Real Estate and Commercial
Club Men Believe War De-,

Washington, June ll.-Little
Rock Ark; Louisville, KY; Battle
Creek, Mich, and San Antonio,
Tex, have been approved as addi-
tional cantonment sites for the new
army.
The approval of Petersburg, Va,
as a cantonment site was revoked.
Fort Worth, Waco and Houston,
Tex; Fort Sill, Okl.; Deming. N.
M, and Linda Vista, Cal, have been
approved as additional camps for
National Guard mobilization, it was
announced today.
Omaha real estate and Commercial
club men believe they still have a
good chance to bring one of the can,
tonment camps to Omaha. An an.
nouncement is expected today from
the War department.
They realize, however, that wher
the number of cantonment camps was
cut down from thirty-two to sixteen
Omaha's chances were cut in half,
The joint committee of the Com.
mercial club and the Omaha Real Es.
tate board has been tirelessly at work
preparing data since Colonel Nor.
gan's commission of officers visited
here to investigate Omaha's claims.
Another of these committees has
been i'll Washington in conference with
Senator Hitchcock to enlist his aid in
placing Omaha's advantages as can
tonment site before the War depart
ment. Another committee, consisting
of Frank H. Myers, c. c. George and
Randall X. Brown, was in Chicago
last week comforting with officers OF
the Central department of the army.
File Brief Of Advantages.
This committee filed with the Cen
trail department a brief setting forth
Omaha's advantages as concentra-
ton camp, and also a detailed map
giving railway facilities and all other
advantages
Tie joint committee now feels that,
even though Omaha should not be
chosen as a cantonment site, it will
be in a better position, by reason Of
the brief prepared and filed, to be Sc
lected as an army concentration camp
later, as it is believed many minor
concentration camps will be neces-
sary as time goes on.
ut should be remembered that the
army commission which was here
looking over Omaha as a possible
site some weeks ago was not in a
position to consider donations OF
grounds for these camps" said Com
missioner Manley of the Commercial
club. There has been some feeling
in some parts that Omaha might have
had one of these camps if it had do
mated the ground. \On the contrary,
the members Of the commission made
it plain when here that they were here
to consider leases and not donations"
