Area, for holding an Ordnance Re-
serve officers Training Corps camp
at Aberdeen. Md, where instruction
will probably begin about June 10.
The Ordnance Reserve officers Train
ing Corps has enjoyed an excellent
growth the past year and II is eX-
pected that there will be an increase
of approximately 90 per cent in the
number of students taking the train
ing this year over those who attended
last years camp, which is all the
more remarkable when 1t is consid-
cred that there has been no increase
in the number of units.
The instruction is of six weeks
duration. and from present indica-
tions the War Department is expect
ing the attendance at the 1924 train
ing camp of more than l3O students
from some of the leading schools of
The country.

issued on the subject, 1T is understood
that Brig. Gen. Harold B. .Fiske will

of men. Probably the chief of staff,
