Fl. Oglethorpe, Ga, July 8.
Mr.. J. L. Holbrook,
Dear Sir;-At your request,
| am writing you something OF
the work in the officers train
ing camp at this army post.
There are fourteen train
ing camps for officers at va
rious places in the United
States. The camp here is at
tended by men from the states
of Tennessee, North Carolina
and South Carolina, with few
from New York, $500 in all.
$4,000 officers will thus re-
ceive a thorough training that
will prepare them to take COM
mand of the volunteer and
drafted armies of this country
in September, when the train
ing of enlisted men will begin,
Almost all this number are col
lege graduates and probably
a majority of them have had
previous military training, eth
err in military schools or through
actual service in the state mill
tia organizations or in the reg
ular army.
The men in the camp here
are undoubtedly the finest set
of men with whom | have ever
been in contact. 1t is a fire.
quent comment of the regular
army officers who are train
ing them, that they learn in a
day what it requires a week
for the average recruit to get.
Few cases of immortality of
any kind have been discov-
cred. These have been met
with prompt disciplinary meas
ures, in most cases, dismissal
in disgrace from the training
camp. One member of a
prominent Tennessee family,
who is a captain of a newly
tcrpated battery of artillery.
in the Tennessee militia, be-
came intoxicated and was dis
charged at once.
No effort is omitted to make
conditions Of camp life whole
some and sanitary. Extreme
medical precautions are taken
in order to prevent a return of
disease such as that which
swept an encampment at this
same place in 1898 and caus-
ed the death of more soldiers
than we're killed and wounded
in battle in the whole war with
Spain.
Our life here is very pleas
ant and l have enjoyed it. We
are housed in one-story bar
racks, about fifty men to each
barrack. A barrack is one big
room, with many windows,
Each man has a cot with mat
tresses and more than enough
bed-clothes. For each organ
ization, whether a company OF
infantry, a troop of cavalry OF
a battery of artillery, there is
a-separate mess hall, in which
about $50 men may eat. There
are negro cooks and walters.
The only object and purpose
Of the camp is to train officers

With the SOLDIER BOYS AT Fl. OGLETH0RPE
(By Herbert J Jo1es)

and, as an officer must know
how to obey before he can
command obedience from his
interiors in rank, strict military
discipline has prevailed from
the first. For the same rea-
son, we have been given much
more work than privates in
the regular army ordinarily
have. The men have been
gradually hardened physical
ly by drilling seven or eight
hours a day, digging trenches,
such as are in use in European
warfare at present, long mar
ches, and various other forms
of exercise, until a climax was
reached yesterday in a gen.
eral order requiring all in
fantrymen in camp to carry
3O-pound packs and 14-pound
rifles in all drills, no matter
how long they might be.
We rise at 5:15, have set
ting up exercises till 900,
then breakfast, begin drills at
700, which last till 11:30,
have dinner at 1900, drill
from 1870 to 4:30, have sup
per at $50, study from 700
till 900. All noises cease at
$50 and lights go out at
1000.
The spirit of the camp is
wonderful. While in many
ways there is a care-free air
about everybody that reminds
me much of my college days,
yet there is an eager desire to
learn and much determination
on the part of everyone here.
The chief responsibility each
man recognizes is that of fit
ting himself by earnest study
to be a capable officer. Be-
yond that there is no occasion
10 worry ones self with NOR
hid fOrnhodinCS of ones Der-
sonal future.
No one in this camp feels at
all heroic, and the speaker
who tells us in extravaganza
terms of our patriotism usual
Iy does receive a very cordial
reception. | do not mean to
say that there is no enthusiasm,
for of that there is an album
dance, which occasionally ,ap-
pears in great spontaneous out
bursts when men from the front
tell us of the deeds Of our al
lies across the waters. But,
withal, this is a business-like
camp, with efficiency every
where in the forefront of mems
thoughts and sentiment far in
the background.
! The war itself is rarely dis
cussed. / am sure that Mr..
Geo. Boyd and the other fire.
quenters Of DR.. Bobbitt's drug
store Tin Mr.. Boyd's absence)
talk more of the war in one
day than all the $500 men
here do in a week. Everyone
feels that the war will last
from two to five years longer
and that he will have a chance
to do his share in il, and every
onerfeels that it is useless to
speculate on the probable du-
ration or the effect that this or
that 6ecurance may have. on it.
Fherorly thing for him toLdo
,isf to accept the situation and
get himself ready for his own
individual part in it.
I ann seeking a commission
in the. 4field artillery. l will
try to write you some of my
more personal experiences
here some time soon. Some of
them are rather amusing, at
least.
Yours truly,
