in regard to the establishment CT the
junior training camp, which is for the
purpose OF instructing men from eigh-
teen to twenty-one years of age and

one. Its full text follows:
II am directed by the commanding

| to July 8, 1917, you established at your
Justly celebrated institution of learn

| classes as instructors. That 1879 mem
bers were enrolled in said camp at
| the moderate cost Of 500 for the three

ing institution, were given military in
struction by the members OF the senior

ties for :his instruction.
80. Ii still further appears that un-

ENLARGED ARMY PLANS
INCREASE Y. M. c. A. BURDEN
Must Spend Much Money mt Canton
ments and for Work With American
Troops In Europe.

Efforts are now being made by the
state executive committee of the Young
Mems CHRISTIAN Association to raise
the remaining $4,000 Of the $4,000
Iund Tor army work at the various
environments to be established in this
section Of the country General Chair
man John I. Wilson said yesterday
that committees were still working to
complete the fund. and he expected
that with the cooperation of the citi-
zens OF Richmond this city would not
be allowed to fall behind the goal set
for it in the army work.
r. s. Brockman. of the war council.
mas just written Mr.. Wilson, in part.
as follows:
Evidently there has been an en-
tire misunderstanding as to the way
In which the 100000 fund was ar
rived at and also as to the sugges-
tons concerning what each section of
the country should give. The $1,000
QUO fund was rough estimate made in
March based upon experience in our
work on the Mexican border. ItSwas
before mobilization had taken place.
and before the plans of the government
had been determined. 1t was based
upon the assumption that no forces
would be sent to France for more than
a year 1T was also based upon prices
mat prevailed before war was declar-
cd.
After the declaration Of war, as you
VIII recall, prices jumped Immediately,
particularly for building materials.
Inc buildings which we had erected on
the border for less than $4,000 we find
now are costing us $4,000.
tents also increased enormously in
price and the same situation applies to
practically all supplies and to freight
rates. This made 1t necessary to in
crease our expense in America from
20 to 40 per cent. Moreover, another.
fact entered into the situation which
we mad not contemplated. namely, the
supplying OF the needs Of the ex-
peditionary force abroad
AS you will remember, the French
commission influenced the government
10 change its entire policy. We shall
need to appropriate for the use of our
soldiers in Great Britain not less than
>2oo'ooo before January 1, and for the
men In France not less than $1,000, 900
or Sl'250,000. No one knows what the
plans OF the government are. 1t is
possible that they may hasten over the
national Guard. and that we shall need
from S2.000.oo0 to $2,5O0,000. Build
ing is from three to five times as ex-
pensive In France as 1t Is in this coun-
Try. we have just had to appropriate
6oo.ooo francs for six buildings. in
france l go into these details so that
you may see that 1t has been simply
impossible for us to keep to the $3,-
ooo'ooo which was the first estimate"
