 OF ARMY SUPPLY

Tokio, June 16-In the supplement tary budget estimate which is to be introduced in the coming special ses- sion of the Diet is an item of 5000, 900 yen or $1, 500, 900 as expedituFe for the establishment of an army arsenal in KoreaS This is a new undertaking re- cessitated by the creation of two army divisions in Korea which were au- thorized in 1915.
 In case of emergency in. the future, the Korean divisions and the garrisons in Manchuria will be enabled to have a quick supply of guns and munitions and other ordnance without relying upon supplies from Japan.
 The plan was long contemplated by the army authorities and the lessons furnished by the European war have necessitated it's speedy execution.
 Credits will also be asked for the construction of fortresses In Korea.

Y. M. c. A. Boys to
 Camp at Pootatuck

After consideration with the boys secretary, Louis Cope, better known to Bridgeport boys as "Pa" Cope, it has been decided to open Camp Pootatuck as usual this summer. At first there was considerable doubt in the minds of the Y. M. C. A. authorities as to the advisability of conducting boys camp this summer, because of the large number of boys who will be engaged in farm work this coming vacation. After investigation, it was found that there are a number of boys, especially younger ones, who will not be engaged, and who desire to spend part of their vacation in camp.
 Camp Pootatuck is located on the shores of Lily lake in the town Of Woodrow (formerly South Kent) in the foothills of the Berkshires. Here the boys enjoy swimming, rowing, ca noeing, baseball. tennis and other out door sports under the supervision of the camp leaders. The coming sea- son will be the fifth that the Bridge port boys have had their camp at this place, and each year has brought inn provements which have made Poota- tuck one of the most up-to- date and best equipped boys camps in Connect. cut.
 This year the camp will be under the personal supervision of MT. Cope
 who has conducted the camp success
 fully for the last three years. This year MT. Cope will have, for his assist
 ant director, Leland Baker, physica
 director of the Stamford Y. M. c. A.
 who has been connected with CamI Pootatck in similar capacity for the last three years. Both MT. Cope an6 MT. Baker have had years of practica experience in camp work and are grea favorites with the boys. The boys 1T each tent will sleep on double-deci cots. Each tent will have an exper1
