1t Will Be Largest Camp of It's Sort
In the Country and Will Embrace
Some 100000 Acres.


Some 100000 Acres.
Fayetteville has been selested as a
site for field artillery camp by the.
War Department. In making Thurs
day this definite announcement, fore
cast in Washington dispatches a few
days before, Representative Goodwin
quoted Assistant Secretary Of War
Crowell as stating that it would lie the
largest camp of it's sort yet estblish-
ed in the United States, that millions
of dollars will be spent, that 10000
men will be located in the cantonment
and that the area of the camp proba-
bly, will embrace 100000 acres. A
bout IS men have been employed for
some time in making the survey.
This is a signal victory for Fay
etteville. That town was slated for
a camp last year, but plans were sud
denly changed and the proposed camp
went to Charlotte. Since then Fay
etteville has been quietly at work, no
publicity being given until the estab-
lishment of the camp there became as
