part of 1920 two new infantry posts. up to-uate in every respect as the present coast artillery posts, will be ready for occupation. All posts are within easy travelling distance of each other since it is only fifty miles from one end of the department to the other making intercourse between the various posts convenient. The coast artillery posts. of which there are three on the Atlantic side and one on the Pacific side, are within easy reach of the larger towns and have the add ed advantage of being on the seashore where it is cool and where sea bathing is one of the principal recreatons. The interior posts which are occupied bv infantry, field artillery, cavalry, engineers and signal corps. are all on the Panama railroad and right on the edge uf the Canal
 Every post in the department IS at present equipped with recreation building, supplied by the Y. M. C. A.. except in the case of Fort Amador which has at it's disposal the Army and Navy Y. M. c. A. of Balboa. These Y. M c. A. buildings are equipped with pool and billiard tables, bowling

alleys, basketball courts and indoor games of all kinds. reading and writ ing rooms and lunch rooms. Dances for enlisted men are frequently held in all Of those buildings and there is never d night when there is not en- tertainm ent of some sort for the sol dier. This entertainment consists of moving pictures, basketball games, vaudeville and musical entertainment. The posts which are removed from the seashore are equipped with swim ming pools which are a source of great comfort and amusement to the enlisted men of the post. In most of the posts of the department the Y. M. C. A. has control of the movies. Per formanceS are given free of charge. In other posts where movies are con- trolled by the Post Exchange, a small

for admittance. The pictures dis played at these shows are up-to- date and the contract demands that no pie ture be shown that is over six months old. The |. M. C. A. has been giving at various times free entertainment at all of the. posts which consists of good vaudeville acts brought from the Keith Circuit in the United States.
 Adjacent to the department are the jungles of Panama which abound in all kinds of vegetable and animal life for those who are interested in this sort of thing. The jungleS are full of all kinds of game and hunting passes for ten days are given to all men who desire to take advantage of this privilege.
