HORACE B. HARE
On Military Training Camps

TT IS to the younger brother. who long
l. ingly and wistfuly watched Bob and Bill
start for the training camp during the war;
that the movement to have American citizens
spend month this summer at training
camp is especially directed, according TO
Horace B. Hare. chairman Of the Executive
Committee of the Military Training Camps
Association for Pennsylvania.
With the comparatively small appropria-
tion granted by Congress, present results
Of the movement must be limited, in the
opinion of Mr.. Hare, but it is the aim and
object of the body to convince the Govern
ment that there is widespread and uni
versal desire on the part Of American men
to devote part of their summers to this
particular end.
"Thc camps. scattered throughout the
country with which we will start the move
ment this year." says Mr. Hare. will be
based in many respects on the Plattsburg.
y. Y, camps Of 1915 and 1915, except that
actual military training will occupy smaller
proportion of the time.
Noted Men Were Privates
I'm the former camps such men MS the
late Mayor Mitchell, of New York. and
George Wharton Pepper, Of this city, worked
as privates along with everybody else, and
took orders. il it so happened, from mere
boys. Yet they and almost every one who
attended those camps--yes, and paid their
railroad fare going and coming away. to say
nothing Of their entire equipment and their
food during the entire period Of the camp
bcsides-wcre unanimous in praise for the
good they got out Of their month of training
and real exercise.
''In the present case the different camps
run from August l to August 30, Men be-
tween the ages Of sixteen and thirty five are
eligible. We hardly expect the men who
served in the recent war. especially those
who went overseas, to choose this way of
spending part of their summer. Some I'm =
doubtedly WILL but others will shy, and
quite naturally.
To Train Younger Men
at is the younger brothers of these men
whom we expect to come to our camps, the
men who were just too young to go during
the Great War, but who longed for the
experience of learning how to be soldiers.
But of course, there will be others come to
these summer camps, older men who want
to regain some of the physical fitness of
their college and younger days, red blooded
work table, men whom illness has pulled
down and who desire their former good
health.
Some things which made the life of the
wartime soldier a nightmare the man who
attends the summer camps will miss One
example - kitchen police that well known
torture familiarly referred to as K. +. Also,
he will have only the mornings devoted to
military training, which will include target
practice, military and athletic training, per
sonal hygiene and kindred subjects.
And then there will be such things as

AMERICANS ABROAD AGAIN

THE vacation rush to Europe this year is
i assuming proportions that will bear RE-
spectacle comparison with pre-war condi-
tions. Two great liners left New York
yesterday carrying total of 449O passengers.
Many of these voyagers are tourists less
curious, perhaps. to interpret European con-
ditions than to taste once more. or for the
first time. the delights of Old World ex-
istence when smoothcd down and eased by
the password of New World pocketbook.
TO a certain extent. disappointments are
bound to ensuc. England. in the last throcs
of the coal strike, is not precisely merry.
France is sensitive and uneasy concerning
the dubious fruits OF. victory. italy is un-
settled by the conflicting activities of Fascist
and radicals. Transportation conditions are
difficult. Governmental regulations are
onerous. Coinage systems are chaotic.
II is possible. of course, for the very
wealthy to ignore most of these circum-
stances. De luxe trains are again in service,
Dc Ike hotels are as comfortable as those Of
New York. with their appeal increased by
characteristic and individualistic European
trimmings.
It is less opulent travellers who will con
tend with dscomforts and be inclined 10
reminisce, either openly or secretly, upon
the charms of Gods Country.
With little philosophy they could bring
home pictures far from dismal. for it Is a
fact that reconstruction is proceeding In
Europe, that the shock of war is receding and
that much misery has been alleviated.
But vacation voyagers are notoriously
impatient and exceedingly apt TO construe
annoyances as tragedies. Linguistic limita-
tons are often the food of bigotry, and no
one Is so intolerant Of Foreigners as he
who is mystifed and vexed by their "un-
Ineligible" speech. Under such conditions
the suspicious Of the average stranger are
easily aroused.
1t is not cynical to suggest that the gayety
Of considerable numbers OF departing tourists
this summer will reach its maximum at the
sailing hour in port. The conception does
not apply to the minority whose mental lug
gage 10 furnished with understanding and
sympathy. Those are the commodities which
Europe needs more than the gold OF the
"most favored nation" Citizens who dis
pcnse them abroad will find themselves and
their spiritual faculties repaid with in

entered do not return to civil life expressing
perfect satisfaction at the month they have
spent in this manner.
More Funds Needed
The appropriation of Congress this year
was far too small, we believe, to accomplish
our purposes. For example. the quota for
Pennsylvania would provide for only about
500. In time there will probably he many,
many times that. This year the men will be
divided according to districts and not ac
cording to priority in the sending in of appli-
cations, as we would like TO do. Next year.
however. those who sent in applications early
this year will come first on the preference

reimbursed at the rate of five cents a mile. >"

CENTRAL MARKET NEEDS

TIME seriousness Of the food distribution
i situation in Philadelphia is emphasized
by the magnitude of a suggested reform.
The municipality has been considering the
erection or acquisition Of two or three
produce piers, but at n meeting of farmers,
produce dealers, city officials and consumers
called By Director Sproule the other day
this remedy was branded as an impractical
nakeshift.
Edward 7. Butterworth urged the con :
struction Of great central market, with a
cold storage plant and facilities for 500
freight cars. He fixed the probable cost
Of the undertaking at $4,000, 900 or
sex, ,O0O, 900
The proposal 10 certainly far from modest
and yet it Is well to keep in mind that a
metropolis the size of Philadelphia is jusH-
fed in large scale planning. Petty improve
ments when summed up are often more
costly than enterprises conceived on gen
erous lines.
Clumsy and archaic processes of distribu
tion within the city itself have long initiated
against the reduction Of food prices. The
Belt Line is theoretically beneficial. but
antiquated methods and a wilderness Of
technical underbrush have produced a num-
Der of costly absurdities. II was brought
out at the meeting that produce cars are
sometimes shipped from Delaware avenue TO
Thirtieth and Market streets. the present
central distributing point, By cGy Of VII
minqton.
The proposed central market covering
eight or ten city blocks extending back from
the river front, would be part Of n great
modern terminal scheme suitable to the
rapidly growing needs Of the community.
Even though the execution of this compre
hensive idea is delayed for some years. it
will do no harm to be boldly appreciativc
Of its merits.
Meanwhile. any increase in the adapta-
bility of the Belt Line to present dav rondi-
tions will bcspeak the sort of initiative with
out which the central market program be
comes mere fgment Of the imagination.
