CITIZENS TRAINING CAMPS.

Managing Editor Progress;
Dear Sir: desire to call your at
tention to the fact that the War De-
partment will maintain this Summer
throughout the country a number Of
citizens training camps for the pur-
pose of instructiDg the citizenry in the
use of arms and to teach the military
history and policy of the United States.
Five Of these camps will be held in
the Southern Department as follows:
Austin, Texas, May / to June 3;
Dallas, Texas, June is to July Is;
Las Vegas, y. Nj, July p 70 Aug. 20.
Alexandria, La, July rs to Aug. %.
Houston, Ten, sept. to Oct. 7.
The camps for this district will be
held at Dallas and Alexandria. Appli
cants will be urged to attend the camp
nearest their home. Transportation is
furnished only to the nearest camp, but
those who are unable TO attend the
Dallas Camp, will be authorized to al
tend that at Alexandria.
The equivalent OF a high school edu-
cation. a sound physical condition, and
good moral character are the pre-
requisites for attendance, The mini
mum age limit it is and the maximum
is %. An applicant who has iasseu
his 45th birthday must, however, de
posit $4,000 to defray his expense in
camp. The government bears practi.
cally every expense; furnishing trans
portation, subsistence and uniform. NJ
future military obligation is entaile4
by attendance.
Further information will be furnish
ed by application to this office.
The government has never before en-.
deavored to bring military education to
citizens on so large scale and the
movement is still in an experimental
stage. The success Of these camps
which may mean SO much to the future
, Of this Nation depends almost entirely
upon the public interest that IS arouse
in them To accomplish this end it j.
absolutely essential that the co-opera
uon OF the public spirited press OF Ia,
country be secured.
Most siueere!yvoIrs,

FOOD SUPPLY IS SHORT.

To the Editor Of the Progress:
We are officially advised by the
United States Department Of Agricui
tUrc:
THAT the worlds food supply is
seriously short
>. That the South has been drawing
enc billion dollars worth of food sup
plies from elsewhere each year
3. That traffic congestion for wa
purposes may prevent food importation
by the South. and that Army meets,
and the food the United states Govern
ment will have to send the Allies Will
make j impossible H.. the South to 81
food from elsewhere.
4. That unless the South prepares
to feed itself the South WILL certainly
90 hungry before the war comes to an
end.
.. That a radical increase III the
quantity of corn, potatoes, meat, beans,
etc, produced by the South is abso-
lutely essential to the South's own
welfare.
Hon. Carl. Vrooman, Assistant Sec
rotary of Agriculture has officially
placed this information before us ana
has requested US to give it to you anu
urge you to give it to your readers As
promptly as possible.

ment, and that the other officers shall
eb graduates or former students of the
university, many of whom have served
in the National Guard or have seen
active service in the war against Spain.
1t is believed that a regiment thus
commanded and differed by former
students of the university will be able
to serve the country in this crisis under
circumstances that will conduce to the
efficiency of the men as soldiers, and
will, at the same time mitigate to some
! extent the necessary hardshIps OF a
military campaign. These soldiers will
be officered by men whom they have

they VIII stand shoulder to shoulder

TURKS SMASHED
IN THREE BATTLES
British Rout One Army in the Tigris,
While Russians Capture Important
City of VAN

LONDON, March 19-A series of
Turkish defeats which seem to portend
approaching disaster for the Ottoman
Power in Asia Minor are reported from
Mesopotamia Persia and Armenia
British and Russians are dealing heavy
blows everywhere and the Turks are
showing signs of utter decentralization
In Mesopotamia the British routed
one Of the Turkish armies retrcating
up the Tigris, and on Friday had driv-
en- the struggling survivors to q point
fifty miles beyond Bagdad. In Persia
the Russians have cut off large Turk
ish force. and at several points are
only ten to twenty miles from the Mes
opotamian border threatening the
Turkish rear. In Armenia, the Russians
have captured the important city Of
Van.
This combination of events places
the Turkish armies on these fronts in
serious danger The official state
mcnts unite in describing the Ottoman
forces as disorganized and almost panic
stricken. With n British army striking
at them from the south, one Russian
army from the east and another from
| the northeast, and a British army
! Threatening them from the west, in
4 Palestine, the plight Of the Turks seems
desperate. The Russian offensive in
Armenia strikes straight across the
Turkish line OF retreat from Nesopo-
tamia and western Persia.
The Russian army in Persia, with
which that in Mesopotamia is cooper
ating, is forging ahead on the whole
front The skill with which il is
handled is shown by the cutting off OF
Turkish force estimated at 5000 men
who were driven into the mountains
by a Russian cavalry detachment This
army is burrowing its way through
snow often above the head Of mar
ON horseback.
Gen. Maudc, IN command Of the Brit
ism army that took Bagdad, has ISSUED
a proclamation to the people OF the
Nesopotamian city declaring that thg
British have come as liberators, recall
ing the Turkish oppression OF the popu
lation and urging the inhabitants +
Join the Arabs who, under allied pat
ronaoe. have established the kingdom
Of the Hediaz, with its capital at Nee
ca.
This proclamation is hiahl. signiti
cant. 1t shows that the allies arc de
tcrmincd to take away Mcsopotami;
and probably other portions Of the en-
pirc in Asia Minor from the Turk. TIL,
British Empire cannot risk the Ger
mans and Turks again making Bagda,
the centre of power from which to as
sail Great Britain, the proclamation
saws, thus showing that the German
Berlin Bagdad ambition is to J.
smashed once and for all.
