is REAL DESERTED VILLAGE
Camp Humphreys, in Virginia, Aban
doned Since the Government Is
No Longer Using II.

Camp Humphreys, in Virginia, not
far from Washington, Is one of the
many deserted villages which the end
of the war has left scattered all over
the country.
The camp is located on great tract
of wild Virginia woodland, fronting
on the Potomac river with high for
ested bluffs. 1t is only a few miles
from Mt Vernon. and is still nearer
the village of Lorton, which is the
center of a section occupied by the
estates of wealthy country jewellers.
Just few months ago, this hitherto
waste land was a scene of bustling
activity. Shan.ies were being built,
timber cut, drains dug. Lines of khaki
clad man were drilling in long-desert-
ed pastures. Rifles Were cracking
across q target range. Great brown
army trucks were tearing the country
roads to pieces, bringing the new
born city more inhabitants every day,
and the supplies with which to keen

them alive. All the summer of 1918
the countryside lay under pail of
yellow dust thrown up by the great
motor trucks. and by the vehicles of
visitors.
Now this is all over. Camp Hum
phreys consists of row upon row of
deserted yellow shanties. and just a
few occupied ones. A couple of en-
listed men doze at its gate. Once In
while few men practice at the
rifle range. But for the most part it
Is spectacle of desertion and wasted
energy.
One good thing it has left the neigh
borhood is fine military road from
Alexandria to its gate, which was com
pleted just about the time the war
was over.
