the National Army training canton

ments.)
Camp Sherman, Chillicothe. o., Sept.
Hive been watching the cogs and
gears of one of Uncle Sans great
soldier factories get into action.
They're making soldiers here while
you wait, and you won't have to walt
long. Every Indication is that the
new selectiye service army Is to be
trained at a dizzying speed.
What / saw at Camp Sherman to-
day is being done at fifteen other can
tonments, scattered over the nation
from Yaphank. l.. L., to American
Lake, Wash. The things I shall de-
ecribe. army men told me, are happen
Ing in everyone of those fifteen other
oamps.
Five per cent. of the new national
army is in camp now. I've seen that
five per cent. turned from an ill-as-
sorted helter-skeiter mob, into body
OF men that is beginning to know the
lesson OF discipline. and obedience.
Size of Uncle Sans Job Realized as
Selected Men Pile on Trains.
It's a tremendous job Uncle Sam has
undertaken. / didn't realize how tre-
mendous until got my first look at
q body OF selective service soldiers.
1t was at the little railroad station
In Chillicothe. A train puffed in. From
every car window protruded a head
Or two.
The train had no sooner ground to a
etop that the 'selects"-that'e the
camp name for the men of the new
national army-began piling off.
Some had come in their shirt sleeves,
20 they'd have no coat to throw away
when they got into uniform.
Some came in overalls.
There were many boys from the
farms of Ohio, and there was every
city type. A few carried suitcases
Many others lugged bandana bundles.
A great many had no baggage at all.
A few clutched tiny flags. souvenirs
of some town farewell celebration.
They lined up on the station lawn,
as varied an assortment of American
boys as you could wish to see.
Then things began happening to
them They were fed, as 1t were. into
the hopper of this one of Uncle Sam $
soldier factories Their experiences
will be the experiences. within few
weeks, of the other 95 per cent of the
national army, not yet started to camp.
Up and down the lines on the lawn
passed army surgeons. Each man
was ordered to open his mouth so the
surgeons might see whether he had
serious defects in his teeth.
This brief examination over, the
men filed past tables on the station
platform At the tables army officers
took down the names and the assign
fnents of the selects.
Then the men were loaded into army
trucks-the same trucks that saw
service in Mexico a year ago-and
hauled out to Camp Sherman.

FATE OF NATIONS
RESTS ON FARMERS,
SAYS PRESIDENT

Washington, April 16.-Fresh impe-
tus was given to the nationwide cam
paign for more food crops today by
President Wilson's plea for unity OF
action in furthering Americas success
in the world war
The presidents appeal addressed to
his "fellow-cOuntrymen," urged all the
people to join in making the nation a
unit for the preservation of its ideals
and for the triumph of democracy, but
particularly emphasized the needs of
growers concentrating their energies
on planting of crops so that the United
States might fulfill its task OF feeding
the armies and people who are fight
ing Germany.
Without abundant food, alike for
the armies and the peoples at war,
said the appeal the whole great en-
terprise upon which we have embark.

country, therefore, in large measure
rests the fate Of the war and the fate
