Camp Lewis, to which Idaho is send.
ing its drafted men for training for the
new national army, is one of the two
largest of all cantonment camps estab-
lished by the war department, it is
announced by the council of national
defense to the Idaho state council. In
connection with these military camps
some very interesting information is
released for publication. If all the
ears carrying materials for their con
struction were coupled together they
would extend from New York to Chi
cago and on into Evanston, Ill.
The beginning of the winter finds
the work of training in full blast
in hundred camps and stations
scattered over the United States. Not
far from half the totM number of
men training are encamped in the big
national army eantonments. In these
the United States has sixteen new
cities, each as large as Sacramento or
New Britain or Davenport UT Macon.
Seventeen Regular Stations.
Sixteen camps, nearly as big as
the environments, but not built 80 dur
able, are housing the national guard
divisions. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand men have joined the regulars since
the war broke out. There are seven
teen regular army stations and camps
being used for the training of these
recruits. Seventeen stations are engag-
ed in training men for the navy, and
marines are being turned out in three
more. ,-,r
Not all the aviation fields have been
finished-but in Il dozen of them cool
headed young men are being taught to
fight in the air. Nine camps are round
ing off the second increment of officers
for the reserve corps. Five medical
camps are in operation, and three camps
for engineers. All of the larger camps
have been built in the last six months.
The biggest of them, the national army
cantonments, were built in three months
at a total cost of $l50,000, 900. Only a
little more than twice as much was re.
quired to build the Panama canal and
that took ten years. Something be.
tween six hundred and seven hundred
millions of feet of lumber went into
the national army cantonments. The
figure for all the army camps is about
one billion feet. Anybody who has
seen the array of buildings constructed
out of forty million feet of lumber in
any one of the environments will be will
ing to believe that one billion feet is
prodigious amount of lumber Yet SC
great are the resources and the needs
of the country that a billion feet of
lumber represents only onc-forticth OF
the amount regularly consumed here in
a year.

Vast Amount Material.

vast Amount Material
Up to November II the number OF
carloads OF construction materials and
furnishings brought into the national
army environments was 10, lS4. To the
same, date building supplies used in
the guard camps amounted to $3.50
carloads; and 9649 carloads had been
shipped into the aviation camps. A
standard box car of 100000 pounds ca
pacity is forty feet and six inches long.
If all the ears carrying material for
these three classes of camps could be
coupled together the train that would
result would extend from New York to
Chicago--and on out to Evanston, III.
A city is never finished, and the
larger training camps are cities. On
roads, on double flooring against the
cold weather, on railroad connections
ON II great variety of things that
need to be done to make the men com
fortable-work is still being done. But
the large construction armies that la
bored on the camps last summer have
for the most part been mustered out.
There were weeks in August when more
than 100000 men were at work on the
sixteen national army cantonments
alone. The carpenters used up $4,000
kegs Of nails. They put in 100000
doors, $50, 900 sashes, and more than
100000 square feet 6f screens.
Camps for Naval Recruits.
The navy camps are smaller, but
more picturesque, as any one Will ad-
nit who has seen the long lines of
naval recruits drilling across a motion
picture screen in weekly news review.

tion near Chicago comes nearest to
