dSrs are that the cantonment will in
tlude training grounds for artillery
men. This Il in addition to the first
plans Of the war department and is in
accord with the general developments
It washington which indicate that the
,governments plans for war are getting
bigger and bigger a. the days go by.
A practice range six miles long and
1 mile wide would be required in addi-
ton to the land already included in the
camp. It would mean at least 1920
acres would be added to the tract of
1900 already under lease, making a
camp Of $3.50 acres or almost thirty
four square miles Of territory.
It is even possible that an aeroplane
training station may be established
here, altho there has been no official
hint as to this. It is known that the
kovernment will need many training
schools for aviators. Camp Dodge is
topographically we'll suited to this. The
severe winter would, Of course, be

200 buildings will be needed at the
camp but contractors thus far have re-
ceived plans for about 1000. It Is in

dition to the infantrymen and artillery
men.

orders to cut out all plans for stoves
In the barracks as a central heating
plant would be erected and the build
ings heated by steam.
