The solcmnity of the valedictory

when Representative Wright was
recognized and commanded Repre-
sentative Everett to get on his shoe

81 got something for you, Bill,
and it is something nice. 1t cost a

got you something finer if we had
had more of it, he said, fishing out
six sterling silver bread plates and
one by one gave them to the chair
man of the Appropriations commit
tee.
i have got two grandsons back
at home, declared Mr.. Everett when
he had expressed his appreciation.
I am going to take these plates
back there and tell them that the
one who goes to Carolina and gets
on the football team that ticks Vir-
ginia is to have them He was
given a thundcrous measure of ap-

A large part of what remained
of Camp Merritt, New Jersey,
principal enbarkation camp of
the American EXpeditionary
forces during the war and prin-
cipal debarkation camp after it,
was burned Sunday night. The
entire hospital section of the
camp, comprising SO buildings,
was destroyed All the build
ings were vacant, having been
bought about year ago by the
Harris Brothers Construction
Company of Chicago, which had
started to dismantle the buildings
from the eastern end Of the camp
while the fire started in the south
western part. The buildings had
ceased to be government proper
ty.
Reference to Camp Merritt
will doubtless recall many in
cidents to Richmond county
boys, many of whom:passed over
seas through this camp. The
construction of CampI Merritt,
which cost more than eleven
million dollars, was begun in
August, 1917. It was originally
planned for $4,000 men, but was
enlarged until it housed $4,000.
The old base hospital had a
capacity of 1000, but frequently
had many more than that num-
Der of patients. The first big
troop movement to Camp Mer-
rift occurred on Dec. 7, 1917, |
when the greater part of the
Fourth Division arrived there
and remained a month before be-
ing sent overseas. From that !
time untTa long after the war
Camp Merritt was probably the
busiest military camp on this
side VI he Atlantic. During the
period of greatest activity in
shipping troops overseas men
were kept in camp from one day
to two weeks before being sent to
Hoboken for embarkation. The
total area of the camp was 770I
acres, and a total of 1902 build
ings were erected.
