NAVY TRAINING CAMPS
NAMED BY DEPARTMENT
Quantco. Va. and San Diego. Cal.
Barracks Being Erected.

The Navy Department has made definite
plans for training camps for sailors and
marines at QuanticO, Va, and San
Diego. Cal. and has representatives seek
ing other suitable locations, especially on
Long Island. 1t is probable that one of
the camps will be located in the vicinity
of Montauk Point, Long Island.
The Quantico camp will be ready in six
weeks to house and train 5000 men. The
San Diego camp will accommodate more
than that number. but that at Quantico
will be enlarged. Barracks are being built
at QuantiCo. because it has been found
that they will be cheaper than tents and
that the barracks can be erected quicker
than tents can be obtained.
At San Diego the site of the camp is the
exposition grounds. Secretary Daniels
says 1t is admirably suited to the purpose
and that many of the buildings can be
utilized with little alteration.

FAIR RECRUITING AGENT
LURES MEN TO Enlist
Miss Rodriques. in Soldier Uniform. to
Lecture at Cosmos.

II may take nine tallors to make a
man. but it takes only one woman to
make n soldier or a sailor. Miss Dora
Rodrioues, who claims Cincinnati as her
birthpiace, takes first place as the origi-
nal walking recruiting station for both
the army and the navy. She is 125 pounds
of pure patriotism.
Starting from New York City when
war was declared, Miss Rodriques has
walked all the way to Washington. She
has discarded the conventional dress of
woman and wears a regulation Platts-
burg uniform-trousers and all.
Despite her masculine garb, she is dis
tinctly feminine and herein lies her value

10 Uncle Sam as a means OF drawing
youth to the colors.
Unaided she has persuaded sixty-five
men to enlist. Miss Rodricnes has told
hundreds of husky farm boys that by
staying on the farms to raise food for
more than by donning uniform.
This morning at 10 o'clock Miss Rodri-
cues will appear at the Cosmos Theater,
and with the assistance of two reels VI
motion pictures loaned by the Universal
Film Company. will give an interesting
talk on the life of Uncle Sans soldiers
and sailors. The lecture will be repeat
ed every day until Sunday. when it will
begin at noon. Regular recruiting off,
GERS will be on duty in the lobby. De-
tachments from the Navy Department
and the Marine Corps will be on hand
to tell applicants all that Miss Rodriques
misses Miss Rodriques' work is done
under the auspices of the Old Guard. a
Spanish War Veterans organization. Her
next stop is Cumberland, Nd.
During the lull in the shows at the
Cosmos at 4:3O and $50 p. M, Miss Rodri-
oues will lecture to men who were not
able to attend the morning lecture.

SWEENEY, TANKEXPERT,
HERE TO ADVISE u. S.
West Pointer Who Joined French For.
eign Legion in CITY.

Capt. Charles Sweeney, West Pointer,
recently OF the French Foreign Legion
and more recently in command of a sec
tion of French tanks" or armored
caterpillar fighting cars. is here from
the front to help the United States in
organizing tractor companies.
The French used these machines with
success in the recent Offensive 1,hev
cleaned up machine-gun nests and rave
protection to the poilus while they were
digging In" or Consolidating their
gain.'
Capt. Sweeney is a native of snokane
Wash. He entered the present war as
an infantry private. despite his West
Point training He was awarded the
cross of the legion Of honor for vaIor
and promoted to lieutenant when single
handed. he captured a machine gun and
six Germans.
The best way to describe a French
tank is to compare II with a risnt
hog. kneeling so that its short legs can
not be seen and creeping forward as Il
roots in the ground.
. rain of lead pours from its sides
as its proceeds. and heavier shot and
shell are showered upon any position
where machine guns Of the Germans
may remain VI action as it straddles the
enemy trench. Only by landing a shell
directly upon tank can it be put ou.
of commission. Bullets from German
rapid-frers and infantry rifles are
powerless. Hand grenades do it no
damage.
The caterpillar wheels allow the tank
to straddle the German trench. 1t is
halted and cross fire poured into the
line. The emplacements of German ma
chine guns are literally blasted away
by the field pieces that are mounted
in the tanks and the enemy reserve in
fantry moved down by machine gun fire
as they crawl from their communication
trenches.

Messenger boys are exempted. however.
They did not want an eight-hour working

to limit their period of time would limit
their wage, It is contended.
