TRAINING CAMPS GREAT SUCCESS;
 ANNUAL REPORT
Youth and Enthusiasm Char acterize Citizens Framing
 Camps Is Claim.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The Ma tional executive committee of tho Military Training Camps Association of the United States in reporting or the success this year Of the Citizens Training Camps says that youth and enthusiasm stood out prominently in all camps and that the spirit of the camps was excellent. One strik ing feature was the whole hearted way in which the army had taken up these camps and was determined to make them succeed, the report adds
 "Thc boys attending averaged q little under IS.
 Showing the spirit of national service is still possible in peace time, provided you begin with men while they are still young enough" says the report
 Athletics and recreation varied with each camp but uniform satisfac- camps had both athletic and morale officers Tn none could a failure be reported but the local conditions and training schedules, made this mat ter to be considered separately, All the camps had canteens and service clubs
 "Discipline varied according to the camps. instruction and training var jed markedly in the different camps. The war department had tried to get the best personnel they could. but the known qualified instructors were simply not to be had in sufficient numbers The professors of military science and tactics at the colleges were uniformly excellent. All the camps had large numbers of young officers, the great majority being excellent but very few of them hay ing practical teaching experience.
 "No radical wrong. not any serious complaint was found in any of the camps and as a whole they were not ed for the extraordinary lack of se- rious complaints"
 The report continues: We take pleasure in quoting the following per tinent remarks about these camps made by General Pershing, as pub Ished in the Army Recruiting News:
 "Tn two respects General Persh- ing said, the Citizens Military Train ing Camps serve as a foundation for cur military policy thoroughly con sistent with America's national tra- ditons.'
 "First, they are anti-militaristic, he added. and second, they are demo- cratic to the core.
 "Tt is no longer to be doubted that with world conditions as they are. preparedness for war, as Lin coln said, is insurance for peace.
 "'To train a man to defend his country is no more developing a niltarist eff him than it is making q pueilist of a boy to teach him how to use his fists in self-defense.
 That. we can quickly dispose of What I dc want to impress, however is the value to democracy of these camps and the army we hope to build up through them. We have never had a military autocracy in this country, thank God, and we never will,
 "The man who attends, learns that all men are actually on an equal ity. and that the rich mans son and the poor mans son alike owes an ob' ligatlon to the government.

As a hawk was swooping on the

arrow, two feet six inches in length,
that apparently had been carried by
the bird for a considerable period.
AS the arrow was of a peculiar
kind unknown in the Transvaal, in

given, and it was found that the ar
row was made by native tribe, the
Akambas of Kenyaland, 1900 miles

was killed.
Further inquiries showed that the

spear, by an Akamba native, was well
