 When the Aviation Corps that are
 ha;ne sent here from England S.i,o at the station, the transporta- 4ion officer, takes them in charge ond gees that they are properly de- trained T he men are then sent to horraeks an4 s5lated until they have hoo, mt through the sanitary bath, or as the men call it in camp, "the anti-cootie b4Rtism.
 While the men are put through this nroeess. to prevent any possible chance of the pests getting into this country. thei clothing is subjected to bot steam bath and afterward put in drying furnace, where they are s,b;eeted to | heat that dries them in very short time, so that by the time the men are through, their clothing is ready fos them.
 Sent to Home Camp.
 The men are then sent to Mitchell Field. and if there is room in barracks for them they are kept there. Other wise they have to go to the tent city where army tents have been pitched with five cots ia each and stove in the center. At the very longest the men will be kept there for four days, when they are shipped to the canton ment nearest the point where they were indueted into the army, and from there they are sent home.
 After arriving at the tent city, however, there is still large amount of red tape to be disposed of before the men can 20. This tent city is made up of six blocks, the sixth block being in charge of Capt L. Watson, and when the men arrive here they are ready to be shipped home and have been passed IS physically fit.
 The day they arrive at this field they are given slip which they re repaired to fill out This is a com pete description of them and all the information regarding their entrance into the army When this card is filled out the men go to the building where they have to undergo their eX animation Here HOO men are pass ed in day and given q most complete examination.
 Careful Examination.
 When man enters the long build ing at one end his clothing is taken from him and he does not get it again until he has gone through a more se- were examination than when he vas indueted into the army. He steps in- to the first room where he goes to a heart specialist A quick but care ful examination is made and if he is sound in that organ his card is 0 k'd and he goes to the eye specialist, then on to the dentist, the nerve and bone specialists and winds up in the room where they are given most thorough examination for tuberculosis.
 Ii they are passed there they go back and have their cards passed on and they don their clothing and are sent to the tent city, where they are put Tn one of the five blocks of tents. AS soon as there is sufficient number ol men gathered to go to some par tlcular cantonment they are moved to oioek six, and there they are on con aant waiting orders and likely to re- eelve word at any minute to "fall in."
 Then Comes The Pay.
 When this happens they get in line ana go down to the office of the quar- ermaster, who is probably the busiest man Tn this field He pays them off ihey are gwen three cents a mile fare to ther homes from which is taken two cents mile for their railroad iare, If they do not wish to return to ther homes but wish to remain hefe they are given mileage to the po'ilts From which they were inducted ii'o the army. In many cases where 'he men wish to remain in Manhattan 'hey are mustered out of the service at once.
 Alter they receive their tickets and pay the men march direct to the train anu are sent in large patches to the Nantohments nearest their home.
 These provisions are for the avia- 'ioh corps. When the infantry begin 'o come over they will be taken care VI at Camp Mills, where they will nave to go through the same process 'S the aviators do in this field.
