GETTING CITIZEN SOLDIERS
Col. J. E. Abbott Spoke at Barre City
Court Room Last Evening.

| Col j. E Abbott Of the first corps
area, sent here by Major General G.
r. Edwards, was at the city court
room last night for the purpose of
signing up men to spend the month OF
August at the citizens training samp
at Camp Devens
Col. Abbott said that there had been
a rush everywhere to sign up for the
camp; Congress made allowances for
27,000 men and over 10000 applica
tions have been received. Vermont has
about 25 places which remain to be
filed. The caap has been 50 swamped
with applicants that the government
has been able to reject the less prom
Using material and to accept only the
best men.
Those going to Camp Devens are
under absolutely no obligation either
while they are there or after theyse
have left. The whole plan is to train
men in citizenship rather than along
military lines. Col Abbott insisted
that the man who spends month at
Camp Deyens comes away improved
100 per cent physically, mentally and
morally. 1t is months vacation with
all expenses paid and all army officers
say that to the young man Of II To
26 years of age this is an extraordi-
nary opportunity for month out Of
doors and the gaining Of Invaluable
knowledge.
The men are under no restrictions
while in camp. Military drill fills up
the morning and in the afternoon
there are all kinds of sports, and the
evening provides amusements in the
form of movies and concerts. lnstruc-
tors in the camp are all specialists and
are graduates of the best military
schools.
Each man is given certificate at
the end of each month spent at
camp and at the end of three seasons
he is given a certificate which entities
him to commission in case of ma
tional emergency.
This is the second year of the citi-
zens' training camp and the govern
ment is better equipped to handle a
large number OF men. and handle them
efficiently than it has ever been before.
