Among First of CAMPS

1t was rported in Atlanta Thursday
from an authoritative source that At
lanta, Macon and either Spartanburg or
Columbia, will be the first camps to be
established in the department of the
southeast. according to the altered pol
icy of the war department as to training
the national guards from northern and
eastern states in the south.
Contractors who are to build conton-
ments claim that the work cannot be
successfully concluded before the end
of the summer on the majority of the
camps and war department considers 1t
advisable to establish first three camps
in order named, leaving the others for
later construction.
The new army plan is for thirteen d.
visions to train in the south, one regular
division at Fort Oglethorpe, three con-
scription divisions. and nine divisions of
the national guard.

Russian War Minister
Is ArouSing Soldiers

PETROGRAD, May 31.-Minister Of
War Kerensky is successfully accom-
plishing his task of squirting Russia's
soldiers to fight. A new spirit of de-
termination was apparent today in front
dispatches from those sections where
the Lloyd George of Russia" has made
his whirlwind campaign.
One incident, on the southwest front,
reported is typical There Kerensky
and Albert Thomas. minister of NUM-
lions for France. both addressed a con-
ference of officers and soldiers. Ksr-
ensky concluded with an impassioned
plea that the fighting men give their
lives to Russia so that the fruits Of the
revolution might be secured"
The audience was literally gaivan-
ICED into action. Every man rose to
his feet shouting-"we swear it," A
tumultuous demonstration followed, In
which Kerensky and Thomas were borne
from the meeting on the shoulders OF
soldiers.
This new sentiment Of patriotism now
being inculcated in the army by Ker-
enslx is reflected at home In Russia
by steady, sober undercurrent of feel
ing among all classes, spirit of unity
and of discarding of faction differences
that faces grave problems with a de-
termination to overcome them. The
new ministers are not Disgusting the
gravity Of a number Of issues which
the new democracy must face.
The governments new antf-liquor de-
crees were published today and empha-
sized by their nervousness the alarm
felt over increase IN drunkenness
throughout the country. Under the new
regulations intoxication in public is
punishable with eighteen months i'm
prisonment and commission of violence
while drunk with from six to eight
years' penal servitude

You Are With Us

AL response 70 a request from Ben
jamin Strong, chairman Of the Liberty
Loan Committee, for a statement re-
garding the exhibition Of the captured
German U-boat in New York, General
Pershing yesterday sent the following
cable:
Our success in floating loans will
be a striking illustration Of the de-
termination Of the American people
TO see this war through to glorious
finish. Reports indicate material de-
crease Of submarine destruction.
We will win regardless Of our enc
mics ruthless humanity.

American soldier In France:
"'To Our Men: The new Liberty
Loan is being floated by our govern
ment at home in support Of the war.
This should especially appeal TO our
men, both those at home preparing
and those who have come to France
to fight by the side Of our allies on
French soil for the Ideals that nave
made our country great.
eve, as soldiers, come from the
people, and we are here to carry out
their will. Ours is a patriotic ser
vice; ours is privilege that few
generations of men have had. To
battle for the right, for the sacred
principles of humanity. with no
thought of gain, is an honor, not
sacrifice. To feel that our own
country, under the leadership Of the
President, is TO play such sp lendid
part in this struggle for human
rights Is an inspiration.
To-day we are given an oppor-
tunity TO do more than fight. We are
offered the safest investment in the
world by our home government, for
whose integrity we as soldiers are
pledged.
"Let each officer and soldier come
forward and voluntarily proclaim be
fore the world his absolute faith IN
our country--her institutions and
her cause. Also let the universal
and liberal subscription OF our armies
demonstrate to our people at home
and to our enemies abroad the 10y
atty, the patriotism and the courage
Of the American soldier. Let every
individual officer and soldier do his
part"
