MAY DAY TO OPEN
CAMP'OF OFFICERS
Candidates for Commissions
Will Co Into Training at
Fort Myer.

More than $50 reserve officers and
candidates for commissions will go
into camp at Fort Myer on May for
three months Of intensive training, to
prepare them to officer. sixteen new
infantry and twp cavalry divisions
which will be organized In July.
The exact site of the camp has
not yet been fixed. II the men Of
the Third Infantry, d. c. N. G., are
moved, the prospective officers prob
ably will pitch tents where Camp
Ordway is now located.
The training camp will be one OF q
series Of forteen, all of which will
be opened on May /, In an effort to
secure the 10000 officers necessary to
command and instruct the proposed
divisions. 1t is the hope Of the War
Department to have these first 10000
officers represent the pick of the
nation.
With this end in view Major Nc
Arthur explained that although any
man between twenty-one and forty
four is eligible for q commission, It
was hoped that the first allotment
would comprise men in the thirties,
fitted by age and experience to COM
mand troops.
No Pay Allowance.
Later camps, It was explained, will
be devoted more largely~to younger
men, but II IL felt that the first ten
thousand should have the experience
that can only come with years.
