But the new colored draftee failed to

Finally, the officer hit upon a scheme.
He went to the barrack and got some

Red, white" said the officer. And the
negro grinned and the drilling con-
tinued without further hitch.

that several classes will be formed dur

at least twenty classes to carry ON ade-
quate instruction.

A Distinctive Record.
Since the first contingent OF selects

Truck Company was the place he want
ed to go. The suggestion proved to be
correct and the man was saved long
walk, as the Seth was only about two
squares away from the information
bureau.
Here is a suggestion for the soldiers:
Write home-if you have not already
done so-and give your friends full di-
rections as to how to reach your bar
rack. It will save your visitors a great
deal of trouble and time.

TRAINING IN ENGLISH
PLAN FOR SELECTS
Soldiers Of Foreign Birth to Be
Taught Language at
Camp.

Soldiers here who cannot understand
English are being rapidly taught the
language. Over 400 classes in English
instruction have been organized. With
in few weeks every man in Camp
Meade who needs such instruction will
have the opportunity to attend the
classes.
Frederick Rindge, an expert from
New York. is at camp directing the or
ganization Of the classes, which will
be held on Tuesday. Thursday and Fri
day evenings. Teachers are selected
from among the drafted men.
With men taken from every walk in
life by the selective draft. ranging
from the coal driver and garbage man
to the professional man, the result was
that many men OF foreign extraction
who could not speak the language Of
the land Of their adoption were sent to
the cantonment.
In some OF the companies, these be-
ing composed principally Of men who
came from cities like Baltimore and
Philadelphia, where there are certain
wards Inhabited almost entirely by for
eighers, as many as thirty and forty
were found who failed to pass the
English test.

ARE CONFUSED
IN LOCATING SOLDIERS
Y. NJ. G. A. Information Bureau
Does Much to Assist Strangers
at Camp Meade.

Visitors come to Camp Meade, wander
about the cantonment for hours In
search fer the soldier they planned to
see and then return home disappointed
in not being able to locate him.
It happens every visiting day at the
camp And It il all due to the failure
of, these persons to have the proper
directions Of the company, barrack and
regiment to which the soldier is as
signed.
One must remember. that Camp
Meade is not such small place that
one can take IL all in at . glance. It
includes an area Of over twelve square
miles. with over 1900 buildings. so that
without proper directions 1t 10 impos-
sible to find your party only at great
loss OF time and energy.
The busiest place at the camp on WIS.,
iting day is the z. N c. A. information
booth near the entrance at Admiral
station. II is in charge Of J. b Murphy.
Sometimes there IL a line Of people
waiting. their turn to get information
concerning this or that place in the
camp.
Visitors Often 60 Astray.
While every effort IL made to give
information AZ explicitly and as quick
ly as possible by means Of q card in-
dex system, maps lists Of OfaCers and
their regimental quarters. the people
themselves very frequently do not
know what they want with the re-
suit that visitors go aetray and have
TO spend their time walking about in
stead Of talking 70 their friend or rel
alive at camp
IT want to see John Jones. tall.
red-haired fellow? Don't you know
him?'
That is the kind Of question that is
asked the information bureau man
about hundred times a day. and when
he politely informs the Qusstioner that
he does not know that person the ques-
toner always expresses surprise and
wonderment.
Confusion arises regarding the num-
hers OF the regiments. For instance:
Folks say 331st when they raean 313th
Infantry, and 136th when what they
want is 316th Infantry; or 310th Ma
chine Gun Battalion for 3iOth Field
Artillery.

Aid % oMcers.

Only conversational English will be
taught them. Because OF the brief
length Of time In which these men Will
likely remain in Camp Meade, no at
tempt will be made to study in any
great degree the grammar Of the Ian
guage. The idea Is to give the soldiers
. practical speaking knowledge, SO
that when drilling. hiking or perform-
ing their other military duties they
will be able to understand the orders
of their superiorg.
Every effort is being made to select
those men as teachers who have had
college or university training. So far
there has been no difficulty In getting
men with these qualifications.
The members or these classes are ca
ger to learn. according to every report.
They attend regularly and evidence a
desire not to let single explanation
pass which they do not understand
Even at the end OF two or three lessons
some OF them can speak enough to
make themselves understood I'm simple
