"a Big Aviation
Camps Will Train
$500 at One Time
Rockies from Allied Lands
to Join American Re-
cruits Here

Washington, June 1s.-Twenty-four
great aviation camps, capable of train
ing at least 1900 aviators at one time,
are planned by the Administration, The
Tribune is able to state on the highest
authority. Most of these camps are 70
be designed to accommodate two squad
rons of $50 men and thirty-six planes
each, though some of them, as, for in
stance, one which has been selected at
Dayton. Ohio, will accommodate four
squadrons at once.
Not only is it intended to train all
Americans who may wish TO enter the
flying service at these camps-and
more camps will be laid out il il is
disclosed that more are needed-but
also rockies from Great Britain, France
and Italy as well.
The work in the American camps is
to be preparatory. The men will be
trained to fly in ordinary aeroplanes
and given all the normal military in
struction necessary. The final touches,
including training in the very fast bat
tie planes. will be given just behind
the lines in France.
There are two reasons for this. In
the first place, obviously the best place
for the final training is behind the
lines. in daily contact with the work
of fighting aviators. In the second
place, it is not intended, for the pres
ent at least, to attempt TO produce the
battle planes in this country. The
mortality among battle planes is not
nearly so high as among the training
planes, for rookie aviators break more
planes than do German guns. Lieuten-
ant Colonel Rees. of the British Royal
Flying Squadron, has told members of
the Aircraft Production Board that he
has known of frequent instances where
one rookie has wreckeI Two planes in
a day.
II is thought that it will prove a
much milder strain on the overseas
transportation service to bring over
foreign rookie aviators and train them
here than to send the large number of
planes necessary for their training
abroad Eventually, to simplify the
transportation problem still further. it
is intended to ship only the motors
abroad, assembled and with them the
materials for bodies and wings. which
will be assembled abroad.

Britain to Supply
Rifles and Cartridges
To Pershing's Men
American Troops Will Use
English Arms to Prevent
Confusion in Battle

Washington. June ls.-The troops
sent to Europe 10 make up the per-
sonnel Of the Pershing expedition, and
those which follow within the next few
months, will go without rife and
small arm ammunition, il was learned
to-day This will be supplied as the
result OF an arrangement negotiated
during the recent conferences with the
British war mission by Great Britain.
The reason given for the plan is the
great danger involved in introducing
two distinct types of ammunition on
the Western front. 1t was pointed out
1t might result in American ammuni-
tion being supplied to the British
troops and vice versa, which might
have a disastrous effect.
The War Department gave an mixing
of its intention in this connection some
weeks ago, when it announced that the
United States army would be supplied
with the Enfield rife instead of the
Springfield as rapidly as this arm
could be manufactured.

Further Delay in Army
Plans Surprise Even to
Administration Critics
fFrnm Tie Tribune Bureaul

Washington, June 1S.-There never
has been a positive official statement as
to when the National Army would be
drafted, but the general idea was that
the call would be made on September l
and that the men would go into train
ING Immediately. A rumor that 1t
would be postponed was once officially
discredited. Those who have criti-
cised the government for its tardiness
in getting an army under way have
spoken as IL September | were the re-
motest imaginable date.
No one has seriously imagined re-
moter one. although recently it has
been hinted that the environments
would not be ready. This was thought
to mean not that the call would be
postponed. but that the men would have
to undergo the hardship of living in
tents, perhaps into the winter.
Therefore, the governments casual
intimation that it may be impossible to
begin the making Of the national army
ON September / will be received gem
orally as a disagreeable and humiliat-
ing surprise. No other date is SUD-
stituted. The programme now IS very
vague. The form of contract for the
construction of sixteen cantonments IS
ready.
The War Department is overwhelmed
by the task of constructing sixteen can,
tonments simultaneously. But it had
intended to construct thlrty-two slmuI-
taneously. Now il is said IN statement
issued to-day by the Bureau OF Public
Information: "The cost of these cities
is so great that, instead OF building
thirty-two. the government has decided
TO reduce the number 70 sixteen. Ihese
will be sufficient for the new army
II these sixteen will be enough for
the new army, why were thlrty-two
contemplated II now it is the cost of
thirty-two that makes 1t imperative 10
halve the number, how was the cost
estimated in the first place!
From what Immediately follows the
assurance that sixteen will suffice 1t
appears that there has been a change
of plan. There will also be- says the
Bureau of Public Information, sixteen
great temporary CAMPS oCSuPieu " I"c
state troops. They will not need per
manent cantonment, for the period of
training Of the state troops will be over
before cold weather sets in, and the
men can live comfortably in tents dur
ing the summer and early fall. Even
il the cost of providing cantonments
for them were not prohibitive, it would
be physically impossible to have the
barracks ready for them in time. 1t
will put an enormous strain on the
building resources Of the country to
have the sixteen cantonments for the
new army ready by September"
It might be deduced from this state
ment that the government intends TO
have the National Guard overseas be-
fore cold weather.
In that case Canvas cities" would
serve for the National Guard troops,
who after few months training would
be sent TO France to be finished. This
is not official. except in so far as it
appears in a long statement on the
subject OF cantonments issued by Mr..
Crecl's official press bureau to-day.

"The Sun" this morning prints the
follot0ing dispatch;
London, June 1s.-The publication OF
the proclamation Of the new King Alex
ander of Greece comes as shock to
England. France and Italy. The new
and Youthful monarch pledges himself
to carry out "the brilliant policy of his
revered father" the notoriously pro-
German Constantine, and uses the Ian
guage of an absolute monarch.
The press of the Allied nations de-
mands if il has been hoodwinked and
if another German diplomatic trick has
succeeded in the Balkans. There is a
universal demand that if King Alexan-
der attempts to follow any such course
as did Constantine he be instantly
elected without ceremony, that the Al
lies take direct control Of the country,
establish Venizelos in power and keep
him there by force if necessary.

Quarrel Over Sites

The statement says the task has been
surrounded with many unexpected diff
fculties. The department has been
under fire from communities which
hoped for cantonment sites, and has
been deluged with correspondence from
contractors seeking share in the work.
There have been conflicting opinions
as to types of buildings, the present
plan for two-story company buildings
to house together the 1So men Of each
infantry company having met with OBJ
lection from the medical section Of the
Defence Advisory Council, on the
ground that not enough air space would
be allowed.
Whatever may be the final decision
OF such problems, the preliminary
work will be the same, and army orders
to-day show additional officers assigned
to the construction work. Surveys al
ready have been run on some of the
sites, and tentative arrangements, light
sewer and railway connections worked
out with local authorities.

The campaign to raise SlU0,UUU,Ooo lol
the American Red Cross in eight days
was launched yesterday. The total OF
the first days drive in New York was
$685. 500, bringing the grand total SO
far pledged to the fund in this city up
to s14,293,913.
More than s2,OOO,Oo0 of the money
pledged yesterday was announced al
the Red Cross dinner at the Waldorf
Astoria. There were an unconditional
pledge of S1,OOO,O0O from J. P. Morgan
G. Co. and Drexel & Co., conditional
pledge of S1,000,000 from George F
Baker, one of S250,000 from the Ameri.
can Car and Foundry Company and
100000 from Samuel F. Untermyer.
With this beginning the teams OF
men and women, thirty in all, selected
for the campaign here, will sally forth
to-day to raise the remainder of the
5000, 900, which is TO constitute New
York City's share of the SlOO,00o,O0O
At the dinner last night were the 300
members of the thirty teams, to cele-
brate the formal opening of their cam
paign. They listened to speeches from
ex-President Taft and Mayor Mitchell
and to instruction from Charles s
Ward, general field secretary.
"Going To Be a Real War"
"This is going 20 be. real war,
Mayor Mitchell told them, "and we are
destined to go into it in q very real
sense. America must send her men, not
in thousands, but in hundreds of thou
sands, and before the war is over they
may have to 60 in millions. There will
be casualties. The lists of the dead and
wounded will be read by the people OF
the United States. This money that
you raise will be for their care, and
also to bring succor to our suffering
allies.
ALREADY we have made pretty con-
elusive answer to the suggestion and
belief Of Germany that the people OF
this country are not wholeheartediy
in this war. Our first answer was that
list of 100000 young men who en-.
rolled themselves in our conscriptior
registration. Our second answer was
the Liberty Loan. Let US supply the
third answer by oversubscribing the
800, 100000 for this great work OF
mercy"
Mr.. Taft defined the objects fol
which the fund. when collected, would
be expended. 1t was to provide suit
able quarters behind the lines ir
France to which American troops might
retire to recover from the terrible
strain of trench warfare. 1t was &c
6pht the terrible ravages of tubercu

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER
Planning the Poultry House.


The height of the poultry house is
governed by its width, or, rather, its
length as a whole.
From four to six feet should be
ample for the rear side of a practical
poultry house.
But the front of the house must be
of sufficient height for admitting light
to the rear of the house.
Houses II feet wide should have
windows that are at least six feet
high to the top, and wider houses in
proportion.
At least one-third of the front of a
poultry house should be open, without
glass, and provided with a muslin cur
tain for closing the opening in ex
tremely bad weather.
In planning the poultry house pro-
vide a scratching shed, when the
house is limited in size, for feeding the
grain food and for exercising the
fowls.
For the front use muslin in in
clement weather. which gives sufficient
light and ventilation.
When poultry houses are built as
stationary fixtures they should have
substantial foundations. with concrete
floors, either plain or covered with
flooring.
Colony houses of the portable type
have only wooden floors, which are
covered with litter.
Roofs for poultry houses are gener-
ally shingles or roofing paper, as may
be preferred, and no pains should be
spared in making a perfectly tight
roof. -
The walls of the poultry house are
another of the Important features that
should not be overlooked.
Strong, tight and rigid walls are
necessary Cor the wooden poultry
house. and there should be no cracks,
crevices or openings in the side walls
to cause drafts
Alleys In the average poultry house
of a few number of pens are unneces-
sary and waste of space. and a wire (
door in the partitions OF the pens is
TO be preferred.
The fixtures of poultry houses are
portable, or at least they should be, |
so that they may be easily Kept clean.
Place all high enough from the floor
Of the house so that the space under
meath may be for scratching.
The roosts are placed at the rear
end of the house, and all roosts should
be on level to prevent the birds from
