Choice of Camp Lee. Va, for the
District National Guards annual en-
ampment this year is believed by
those familiar with the cantonment
to be a wise one. The location is
convenient for Washingtonians, while
the camp provides all accommodations
necessary for housing and training
a body of soldiers.
Built in the summer of 1917, the
camp was completed in time to take
care of the first contingent of men
drafted for the war, which arrived
there the middle of September of the
same year. The S0th, or Blue Ridge
Division, made up of men from Penn
sylvania. West Virginia and Vir-
ginia, was trained at Camp Lee. oc-
cupying the cantonment until the lat
ter part of May. 1918, whenth troops
were sent to France.
Following the S0th Divisions trans
fer for overseas duty. the camp was
occupied by units from distant parts
Of the country on their way to France
folk. During the war its base hos
pital was used to receive wounded
men brought back to the United
States, and following tho armisttce
the camp was turned into a demobili-
ration center. where troops arriving
from overseas Wer0 discharged from
the Army.
Description Of Camp.
Camp Lee Is situated near Peters
burg. Va. and connected with that
city by a railroad. trolley line and
motor buses. The cantonment is
built in the shape of horseshoe. and
from one end to- tho other measures
about six miles. Division head
quarters is located on a hill not far
from the main entrance to the canton
ment. and from 1t one can see nearly
every portion Of the big training base.
The barracks are built to take care
Of a company of $50 men, although
this complement tends toward a
crowded condition which will be un-
necessary in the case Of tho local
soldiers, because Of tho number of
buildings to be placed at their dis
posal. Kitchens and mess halls are
located In the barracks.

camp limits several natural parade

Legislation to enlarge the member
ship of the House from 435 to at least
500 members, to conform with tho
new population statistics is task
that will call for early attention OF
Congress when it reassembles. There
is considerable opposition to enlarg-
ing the House. as it is already of un-
wieldy size for the transaction OF
business under the existing rules. I'm
less this is done, however, ten states
stand to lose one or more representa-
tives. according to Representative
Siegel Of New York, chairman OF the
census committee. who is already at
work on the new apportionment Dill.
These States Affected.
The states principally affected are:
Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, which
will lose two congressman each. ana
Illinois. Kentucky. Maine. Maryland.
Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia,
which will lose one congressman each.
Mr.. Siegel explains that III the
House membership is retained at its
present figure, it will be necessary to
increase the population basis each
congressional district beyond the
211,000 or major portion thereof now
fixed. If this is done, he says, the
ten states named will lose one or more
populations have not increased in
proportion to those of other states.
On the basis of the estimated popula-
ton Of 106. 900. 900 for the whole coun-
try in 1920. an increase of appron-
mately IA ,000, 600 in ten years, Mr.. Sic
gel says sixty-five or sixty-six new
seats in the House must be created II
the ten states are to retain their pres
ent numerical represen tation- Wh1ie
precedent warrants the increase, Mr.
Cy: H. 4 to epfv
sition to it on the part OF some OF. the
present representatives., while others
favor reduction to as few as 500
memberA
Expects Measure in 1871.
Mr.. Siegel expects. the work Of
framing the new apportionment bill
in accord with the new population to
begin with the reconvening of Con-
gress in December. and he anticipates
that the measure will be passed early
in 1921.
Every decade since 1890, with the
single exception of 1910, the House
membership has been enlarged to
ton. Now the House floor is crowded
when all members are present, seats
nearly fill the chamber, the old in
diVidual desks have been discarded,
and an increase in membership prob
ably will have to be solved by mar
rowing the width of the seats
Ten years ago the House member
ship was increased from 391 to 435 on
the basis Of population of 91,972,-
266. and the only exception to such a
procedure occurred in 1910. when ten
representatives were knocked out by
the apportionment the membership
being fixed at 232, after having been
242 for ten years.

for certain increases. but even then
