buildings, countless barracks; and be- yond stretch miles of fine concrete roads that disappear into the haze of the Virginia woodlands.
 This officers training camp at Ouan- tico, which has just been opened. is the first of it's kind in the history of the Marine Corps. It was established to meet the sudden need for 1900 new commissioned officers required in the increase of the Corps to 75,5OO enlisted men.
 They're Picked Men, Every One
 The Marine Corps follows the demo. cratic plan of recruiting it's officers from its own ranks-Marines, who have demonstrated their fitness for appointment to the officers training camp. Every Marine in this camp is a picked man, selected from a Marine Corps post or training camp, or from ships guard, by a selection board, whose duty it is to recommend the most promising Marines.
 Thousands of college men have en- listed in the Corps. Youth, health and sand" are conspicuous, and should make it easy to produce an efficient commissioned personnel for the Corps big increase.
 Mystifying to the outsider at this camp is the sight of students ram bling about, heads down in most un- soldierly attitudes, passing their sl-

periors without saluting, some of them waving their hands at their sides each time they step, going in different di- rections, sometimes retracing their steps. Each seems following a line on the ground, like a hound picking up a trail. It looks rather silly, but it is an important feature of training, These Marines are "standardizing their pace"
 This is a preliminary step in the study of topography. To qualify as an officer, a Marine must master the study of the earth's surface, and be able to draw and read maps represent ing typographical conditions and showing every Shell hole Each man is given a pace tally" picks out a given distance on the roadway, and steps it off. He repeats it until his pace is standardized.
 Once a man has learned his indi- vidual pace, he may traverse the country and tell, with surprising ac- curacy, the distance covered. Taking notes of these measurements, he can draw map in true proportion.
 The Worlds Tiniest BattIefieIds Close by are several Marines ap- parently playing in sand box, just as most of us did when we were schiI- dren. But this box is used for any, thing but play. though the Marines ! find it good sport, too. Here they

arrange tiny trenches over level and hilly country, and reproduce the ter ritory that they have covered with their pace tallies. The box is built to scale, and problems in strategy are worked out over the miniature ter rain.
 Textbooks are, of course, studied and thoroughly briefed. Collateral lectures are given, with the schedule posted week in advance. French and English instructors, fresh from the battlefelds of France, give black board talks in the big gymnasium. It is inspiring to see 500 picked Marines, each looking as if he had just stepped from the proverbial bandbox, and all of whom have been through the mill" as recruits, notebooks in hand, listening eagerly while a flesh-and- blood war veteran tells what to do with a certain number of men in a given position when the Germans are advancing in superior numbers. Notes are taken very carefully, too, for each man is graded by his notes as by the weekly written examinations.
 After the lectures the men shoulder their stools, form in line and march back to quarters, where the next duty awaits them. The days events crowd on each others heels, for this is in- tensive training, and every moment is precious. Theory and practice go

hand in hand. A lesson in minor tao tics is immediately followed by its practical application in field work. The thing is done as thoroughly as though it were happening on German soil. There is no "stalling." It IS serious business. Every man is hop ing with his life's hope that he will be the first of his class to apply this student work, under real fire, as a real leader of fighting Marines.
 Discipline Has Become Instinct
 How physically and mentally alert, how morally. clean, are these super men! Major Rixey smiles proudly when he announces, upon being ques- toned, that not one man has required being disciplined since the officers training camp was started. Here is discipline to the point of instinctive good conduct and perfect self-control.
 There is nothing terrorizing about the management of the camp. The kind, thoughtful-faced Major in com mand might be the dean of some great university He is thoroughly human in dealing with the student Marines. And every Marine instinctively feels the omnipresent discipline born of sincere respect for his superiors, and love of country, and adherence to the Marine Corps motto, Semper Fidelis always faithful.

 This has been followed by similar
 work at other camps under Colonel
 J. S. Fair, assistant to the Acting Quartermaster General. When every thing was ready for the breaking of the ground at Camp Dix. nine big truck loads of seeds, fertilizer, blows
 and other supplies were rushed over
 from Philadelphia by the National | War Garden Commission; and "the boys were off, They expect to have

 beans, thirty of beets, thirty of sweet

 and numerous other vegetables. Camp gardens will serve more than one useful purpose" says Secre-
 tary Baker in letter to the National War Garden Commission, congratu-
 lating. the organization on it's coopera- ton with the quartermaster's office in getting the work under way. "The production of food at the mess door is of great importance, in that it not
 only lessens the arny's demand on the usual sources of supply, but elm mates transportation as well. The
 large areas of tilIable land within many of the military reservations
 have been regarded as offering poten- tial food production on a large scale' and I feel that the army is to be congratulated that the utilization or this space has now taken concrete form"
