WAR CAMPS ALL
To Be CLOSED
BY JULY
Temporary Plants Put Up for
Emergency to Be Dismantled
and Sold.
International News Service.

The army's herculean task OF
getting completely out of the war
will be finally completed by June
80, Gen. Robert c. Davis, adjutant
general Of the army, announced TO-
day. BY the end of the current
fiscal year, General Davis said, all
of the huge cantonments, camps,
flying fields, depots and storage
plants thrown up to meet the emer-
gency requirements of war, and no
longer needed. will have been dis
mantled and disposed of, while the
sale of millions of dollars worth of
surplus war materials likewise will
have been completed.
Twenty-six army stations OF Var1-
Gus character will be abandoned by
June 80, many of which already
have been dismantled and a few al
ready sold. These include six avia-
ton projects, including flying fields
and depots located at Americas,
Ga; Arcadia, Fla; Buffalo, N. Y;
Houston, Tex: Richmond, Va, and
Ross Field, Cal.
The quartermaster corps has or
will abandon seven depots and
warehouses, loo a tt d at Boston,
Mass; Keogh, Mont; Norfolk, Va;
Newport News, Va; New Orleans.
La; Newark, N. j., and st. Louis,
Mo.
Ordnance department stat s
numbering six will no longer func-
ton after June 80. These are at
South Amboy, N. Y; Penniman,
Pa; Seven Pines, Va; Toledo, Ohio;
Tullytown, Pa, and Woodbury., N. j.
Camps and cantonments which
have gone on the block include
Forts Dade and DeSoto, Fla; Camp
Devens, Mass; Camp Dix, N. j.;
Camp Jackson, S. c.; Camp Knox,
KY; Camp Meade, Md, and Camp
Mcclellan, Ala.
Much Of this work either already
has been done or complete arrange
ments have been made for it's con-
summation. In several instances,
portions Of the property will be
maintained for minor purposes, and
in others the ground will not be
sold.
The sale of surplus property, it
is now estimated, will net the Gov
eminent approximately 100000 900
by the end of the fiscal year. This
total is exclusive of amounts re-
celved in past years since the war,
and stands for the final realization
on what is left of the billions of
dollars of property purchased for
war use and not used.

Washington To Be
Played Up In
Periodical
BY JEAN ELIOT.

A CTTVITIES in Washington are
to be played up" with in.
creasing enthusiasm in "The
Younger Set" that engaging little
magazine which is published by
society girls in New York, if all
goes well. For Mrs. Tarleton
Winchester, the prime mover in
the enterprise, proposes to visit
this city in the near future and
to invite a group Of representa-
tive society women to join the
advisory board
Since the magazine was launched,
a year and a half ago, Mrs. Win
chester has been too deeply
emersed in organizing work to do
much visiting of other cities. But
even so, the Capital has had
representation on the staff Of the
magazine, for the dramatic editor
Is Miss Elizabeth Howry, daugh-
ter of Judge Charles B. Howry.
Miss Howry, who Is now living in
New York, Is one of the leading
spirits In the work Of the maya
zine. She Is also closely identified
with the Junior League and with
many Of the artistic activities of
society. She writes charmingly
and both wit and wisdom are con-
tanned in her reviews Of the
drama. Miss Howry's sister,
Miss Mary Howry, is also living
in New York, and the two girls
directed the production of one of
the Junior Leagues most delight
full musical comedies.
THE enterprise has prospered
most amazingly, until now
one finds readers of 1.-The
Younger Set" in Boston, Balti-
more. Atlanta, New Orleans.
Washington, and even as far
west as San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
There Is really no end to the
possibilities of growth for it, as
the editorial policy is not to con-
fine itself simply to the doings Of
society people, but to express the
viewpoint of the younger genera
ton in art, music, literature and
the stage. Incidentally, in the
June issue Arthur Rows Memo
ries of Sarah Bernhard" will
begin serially, and as he Is the
foremost authority in this country
on the divine Sarah, as well as
an exceedingly clever writer, the
subscribers will be sure to find
his account of her intensely inter
esting.
There are always attractive pic
lures of society people and of
others who are interesting for
various reasons, and there are
letters from other cities recount
ing the doings of the younger
smart set.
The advisory board includes the
names of Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt,
Mrs. Oliver Hartman, Mrs.
Charles Dana Gibson, Mrs. George
Gordon Battle, Mrs. Philip Frank
lin and Mrs. George Dallas Dixon,
