CAMP DEVENS is BIG
=. HIVE OF INDUSTRY

Aver is reached by taking a train
out Of the North Station in Boston.
Close by the Aver station is the main
entrance to Camp Devens, which is
the largest of the environments in the
United States. The muster field is
1000 acres in extent, and before snow
flies there will be at least 1,7O0 build
ings rooted over. A few months ago
this tract was a wilderness, covered
with trees and shrubs but now 5000
carpenters, diggers, masons, plumb
ers and engineers are making large,
wel1-p1anned camp. There are IL
miles Of water-mains, supplying 250
shower baths with running water.
| There are 25 miles of sewer pipes to
provide ample sanitation and every
| thing is being done to accommodate
100000 or $4,000 men.
The camp is ,interspersed with roads
in the making, with trucks by the
hundred numbering up and down, car
rying the supplies need in the camp.
The boys are busy-some with set
| ting-up exercises, some cleaning UP
| the grounds, some cutting down trees,
| some pulling up tree stumps, and do
ing a thousand and one odd jobs nee
essary to make this wilderness a hab-
table camp.
| The barracks were a surprise, the
boys didn't sleep in hunks, one above
the others, as on board ship, but each
had. comfortable iron cot, with plen-
ty of blankets. The barracks were
roomy and airy, and were the essence
of cleanliness. They are now being
| fitted out for steam heat. Each regi-
ment has a barrack for each company
| There are two houses operated by the
knights of Columbus. In these huts
| the boys may write letters home, read
books, attend the movies" hear lee
| lures by famous men, buy small
| things such as candy, smokes, etc
Baseballs and footballs are loaned. In
| one part of the camp a football grid
iron has been laid out. A large Y. M
C. A. auditorium seating 5000 is near
ing completion.

DEPRECArEs ExTREME VIEWS

Washington, Oct. "a warning not
to take things 90 much for granted
one way or another in the submarine
campaign was voiced by high naval
officials today. The German plan to
starve England and France by unre-
stricted su bnarine warfare had failed,
it was declared, but it was insisted
that there was still a real job ahead
of this country and the Entente in
dealing with the menace.
In every possible way the fight
against the U-boat was being pushed,
it was insisted, and magnificent re-
suits had been accomplished, but this
did not mean that the menace had
been sufficiently overcome to warrant
any let-up in he campaign Of the de-
stroyers and the efforts to supply
more ships to take the place of lost
tonnage.
The views Of high officials as OBJ
tanned yesterday may be summarized
as follows.
''The measures taken to meet the
submarine issue are having effect.
Last year no ships were conveyed, but
now nearly every ship has convoy.
A year ago nearly all the naval au-
thorities of foreign countries as well
as of this country said that conveys
would not do; that they would simply
furnish more targets for the subma-
rines. We have disproved that.
cit WI not do, when things go bad,
when sinkings increase, to lose our
nerve, and say everything is going to
pieces. We expect submarine losses to
be lessened, but it is wrong to be
either too optimistic or too pessimistic.
| OF course, we are going to win, but
| 4, i,ys
| titled. We will win because we have
everything Germany has not, and our
advantage will tell in the end.
| Submarine sinkings fuctuate. One
week they may be way down, and it
might not be accurate to say that
i measures taken by Germanys enemies
| are responsible for the decrease. The
| next week the sinkings may rise sem
sationally, and 1t might not be accur-
ate to say that there has been any
4 less efficiency on the part of the pa
| trolls. The reason for the fewer sink
| ings might be that Germany is short
| of torpedoes, and is holding up the
submarine until sufficient torpedoes
may be furnished, and when the sub
marines reappear better equipped
| they might have greater success, COM
1 ing out in squadrons.
The United States is making mag
| ni1cent Roadway in the construction
Of new vessels. Before we entered
| the war the shortest time in which a
torpedo boat had been built was %
/ months We are turning them, out in
| eight months. Every one that is now
building will be delivered next year
or before.
I'VE have got the money and the
authority of Congress to build every
thing that can possibly be built with
our resources, and the Navy Depart
nent itself will erect plants so that
It can build ships. In IL months the
United States will turn out more naval
tonnage than any other country has
ever done in a similar period and
more than it was ever dreamed that
the United States could build"
