TRAINING CAMP
MEN HEAR ROAR
OF field guns
IBy Associated Press1

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July IA
The men at the Preside military
reservation taking the three months
intensive military course to prepare
them for commissions in the Amer1-
can overseas armies to the number OF
$50 will have their first introduction
to the roar Of big guns. These are
the men selected by officers in charge
of the camp for service in the field
artillery branch Of the service.
Lieutenant-CoIonel Frederick w.
Sladen, camp commander, has been
notified by the war department that
a battalion of field artillery of the
California National Guard will be sent
to the Preside for duty as training
unit for the student officers. The
battalion, consisting OF two or three
batteries, will be stationed at the
Preside until the camp closes. The
national guard men will bring all
their artillery.
The news that the artillerymen will
remain at the Preside for the remain
der of their training has been receiv-
ed with pleasure by them. For some
time past there have been rumors
designating first one point and then
another in various parts of the coun-
try as being selected as the school
ing ground for them and the .uncer-
tainty as to their future movements
now is dispelled.
The infantrymen are busily engag
ed, as are the cavalrymen, in digging
trenches and by next week they ex

taught the manner of fighting from
