CAMP DIX WILL
COVER 10 MILES
Permanent Army Post viii See
WrinhtstoWn Cantonement
Greatly Enlarged

CAMP DIX, March 24-In the pine
barrens of central Jersey, on land
practically useless for other purposes,
Uncle Sam Is definitely planning TO
construct the greatest training station
and permanent military post In the
United States.
Rumors Of the big project, which
have been circulating for weeks and
creating much interest among mill
tary men throughout the country,
now have confirmation in the COM
plction of the surveys by Wal Depart
ment engineers. The decision of army
officials Is that no site on the Allan
tic coast is so logically situated n
so we'll adapted for the purpose.
state officials who have been in
close touch with tho federal govern
ment's plan regard the announcement
by the War Department last week
that Dix would be retained as a final
assurance OF an early move Tor the
creation OF greater Camp DIX, ex-
tending from the site of the present
: cantonment to and including Camp
NsndrfSk, and Tn chemical warfare
proving grounds ut LalSehurst.
Surveys as completed by the War
Department last week for tho pro-
posed greater Camp Dix cover tho
major portion of five townships.
These are Hanover and Pemberton In
Burlb gton county and Plumstead'
Jackson md Manchester in Ocean.
There would be n total of upward of
1000 acres of pine land added TO
the present reservation.
Major-Gen. Hugh L. Scott. conf
mandnnt OF Camp Dix and former
chief OF the General Stan, has for
onths advocated the use of Camp
Dix as a permanent post, pointing out
that is position between Now York
ond hlIoAaiphIa mpLea N atfatNgtc
for coast defensive m-anoeuvres and
logical rs the best year round train
ing site in the middle Atlantic States.
Briefly stated. the advantages OF the
location "a considered by army Of
fcers in addition to those already
pointed out include the smnl cost at
which the land could be procured. tho
healthy climate of this section. with
sandy soil and good drainage. afford
ing excellent sanitary conditions, the
absence of mud that might interfere
with the mobility OF heavy artillery
and the fact that there Is n sufficient
supply OF pure water for the use Of
mounted troops in manoeuvring.
There are fewer than a dozen
houses on the reservation as surveyed
and only two small swampy areas
which engineers a found can easily
be drained. The artillery sector in the
proposed new reservation would have
a direct range of $4,000 yards. or
more than ten miles. surrounded by
a vide safety zone. Military men say
that one OF the greatest advantages
of the ocation is that because OF its
isolation from thickly populated CEN
tiers the Government can more easily
control the area surrounding the re
~serVation.
The infantry training opportunities
provided at Camp DIX at present have
repeatedly been pronounced by In
spector-generals as among the best TO
be found in any cantonment. The
size OF the greater Camp Dix will af-
ford opportunity for the training OF
every branch OF the army, infantry.
artillery. cavalry. engineers and the
air service and the working out of
tactical problems when desired by all
branches in conjunction.

cause every village has its Lenine
