Fifteen Cantonment Sites, In.
Guiding Camp Dodge, Re-
tanned as Permanent
Military Camps.

Washington, March 21.-Defnite
decision by the War department to
purchase IS original cantonment
sites for use as permanent military
camps was announced today by
Acting Secretary Crowell. He said,
also, that as a general policy the So
called national guard camps would
be abandoned, with the exceptions
Of Camps Kearny, California, and
Sewer, S. c.
The cantonments to be retained
are Camps Bragg, Custer, Devens,
Dix, Dodge Gordon, Grant, Jack
son, Knox, Lee, Meade, Pike, Sher-
man, Taylor and Upton.
In addition to the cantonments,
Secretary Crowell said, the general
staff has recommended that the fol-
lowing camps be included. ir the
War departments program for vari-
Gus special uses: Camps Doniphan,
Oklahoma; Eustis, Virginia; Funs-
ton, Kansas; Holabird, Maryland;
Humphreys, Virginia. Jessup,
Georgia; Johnston, Florida; Kearny,
California; Lewis, Washington; Nc
Clellan, Alabama; Normoyle, Texas;
Pike, Arkansas; Sill, Oklahoma
Travis, Texas, and Benning,
Georgia.
Aviation and-balloon fields now
owned by the government and to be
retained are: Langley field and Lee
Hall, Virginia; Kelly No. /, Texas;
Post Field, Oklahoma; Rickwell
!7iel'. California, and Forts Omaha
Ind Crook, Nebraska. ~
Aviation fields which are to be
purchased by the department are:
Chanute, Camp Scott, Illinois;
Souther, Georgia; Dorr and Carl
strom, Florida; Brooks Field, Kelly
No. and Ellington, Texas; March,
Arcadia and Mather, California
-Selfridge, Michigan, and Park Field,
Tennessee.
All other flying and balloon fields
now in existence ultimately will be
abandoned, although the purchase of
some sites will be completed and the
land sold later by the government.
1t was explained that this process
had been determined upon to prevent
the government suffering loss of
several millions of dollars.
In announcing the program as to
the camps, Acting Secretary Gro
we'll estimated that the purchase of
the cantonmept sites would involve
approximately $9,500,000, while the
whole project, including the flying
fields, would not reach $15,000,000.

pected he handed out 40 rifles to a
defending party. No ammunition
was issued and men used their sou-
venir cartridges when the rioting got
serious. The rioting, Major MacLean
said, began when half-dozen men
carrying red flag attacked the main
entrance to the camp. They were
dispersed and their leaders captured
after numerous shots had been ex-
.~changed. The ringleaders we're sup
ported by about 400 men,
1 OF the five men killed only one
belonged to the defense farty. The
others were rioters or spectators.

GET ARMY
TRUCK AND
BIG LOAD
OF LIQUOR.
Bluffs Officers Swoop Down
on "PIant" on River Bank;
Omaha Men Implicated
and Taken With Driver.

The biggest seizure of liquor
in Pottawattamie county, Ia, since
the blockade runners went into busi-
ness was made late yesterday after
noon by Council Bluffs police. Be-
tween 1900 and $3.50 bottles were
seized and one army truck driver
and three Italians were captured.
The prisoners are Sergeant A. E,
Drew, Fort Omaha truck driver;
John Bruno and Sam Trapini, Oma-
ha, Italians. ard Antonio Manescal-
CO, Bluffs man. The arrests were
made and the liquor seized on the
banks of the Missouri river at
Thirty-ffth street. Eight other
men engaged in loading the army
truck escaped.
Tip Over Phone.
The raid was, made on tip tele-
phoned to the police station. 1t was
responded to by Officer Barritt and
Driver Brown and by Polio Judge
Capell, who accompanied ythe Off
GERS as a spectator. They drove to
the river bank, where they found
an army auto truck loaded with
liquor.
The men in, charge of the liquor
showed fight for an instant and
then ran.
Sergeant Drew said he had been
hired three weeks ago to haul a load
OF stuff to Omaha. He was engaged
by the Omaha Italians. He was not
told what it was, but said he had a
pretty good idea that it was whisky.
He agreed to take it across the
bridge the first time he got a chance
to 60 over unloaded. Judge Capell
was inclined to believe the man to
be not seriously involved. All of the
men are being held.
The old boat house in the willows
on the river bank has long been be-
lieved to be bootleggers' rendez-
vous, accessible alike by land and
water. 1t has been visited frequently
by Bluffs officers, but no evidence
discovered.
