Sixteen Cities To Order
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1915. by Frank Crane)

Few realize what man-size job it is
to get 100000 civilians, in non-miitary
country. ready for war For a genera
ton the army in the United States-h has
been invisible Whereas in Europe there
were uniforms everywhere, here there
were uniforms nowhere War was re-
mote prospect. Our militarism was en-
tirely historical
Upon this people, about as unprepared
as it was possible to be, came the sudden
necessity of raising an army training it,
and sending it 5000 miles across the
sea
To illustrate the immensely Of the task
take the single item of preparing the
training camps.
1t was necessary to construct sixteen
environments, or soldier cities, where ths
boys could live while they were train
ing.
Each Of these cities, built new from
the ground up, was to house some 40,0OS
men.
They were located at the following
Aver, Petersburg, Chilicothe, American
Lake, Rockford, Little Rock, Des Moines,
Fort Riley, Atlanta, Columbia, Ann1ro-
lis Junction. Brittle Creek. Mrights-
town. and Yaphank
Within few months these sixteen
cities had TO be constructed and equipped
with sewerage, water. lighting. and pow
Ier systems.
Practically every detail entering into
the building Of an American civilian city
has confronted the army in erecting its
environments, says the secretary Of war
He adds the following Interesting items:
Great quantities of raw material have
been used in the work Within sixty
days 10 mills, in all parts Of the coun-
try, shipped to the several cantonment
sites more than 500,000000 feet Of lum-
Der. Approximately $4,000 freight cars
we're used for transportation Of this
lumber.
From : 600 10 10. 900 man have work.
ed upon each Of the emergency cities
Each cantonment contractor has handled
about 5000 carloads Of material Weekly
.payrolls have run as high as $25O000
A carload of roofing tacks was re-
quired to nail down the 100000 square
feet Of paper roofing for the protection
of the cantonment buildings. Altogether
$4,000 kegs Of nails have been driven,
and there have been installed 10000
doors. $500 sashes. more than 3.000,-
600 square feet of screens, and 29.250,-
900 square feet Of wall boarding.
To light the army cities $50 street
lamps and 10000 inside lamps have been
Used at each site. All Of this material
was TRANSPORTED during a period of traf-
&c congestion on the railroads
The problem was 10 provide quickly
sixteen environments each containing
about a thousand separate buildings and
to supply paved streets, telephones fire
protection. electric lights, water and sew
