BASES FOR
MA Wy ARE
INADEQUATE
Situation in Pacific Is Said
to Place United States
at Disadvantage.
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA SerUice Writer

ET7 ASHINGTON, July 10-The
Wt strongest warship ahoat is
~ helpless without fuel.
Nor can it stay much good with
out occasional repairs.
True. supplies can be brought to
the front by other ships. But this
is wasteful-of money, of shipping
and Of protection. It's especially
wasteful of protection, for fighting
ships can't fight if they're busy pro-
tecting the vessels engaged in bring
ing them supplies.
The farther supplies must be
brought, the harder it is to bring
them. Finally it becomes impos-
sible
Besides, it's a method which
doesn't take into account the matter
of repairs.
The only satisfactory system is to
have supply bases on shore-on
islands, for instance, in the fighting
zone.
Such bases should have store
houses, coal piles, oil in tanks, bar
racks for reserves, hospitals, wharfs,
anchorage room, repair shops and
drydocks. They must be behind for
tifications, for, again, fighting ships
can't fight if they're tied to their
base in order to defend it.
Inadequate at Home
AS for our home bases, I'VE have
none on the Pacific" says Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy Roosevelt,
that are adequate; our Atlantic
bases are better but are not nearly
all adequate.
Still, naval experts aren't so much
worried about our home bases. They
ought to be adequate" of course.
But so far as the Atlantic is con
cerned, though he shouldn't assume
we're safe in any quarter, it's a fact
that even alarmists look for no at
tack on US from the East.
If we should have trouble, the best
authorities think it will come from
the West.

Admiral II. S. Knapp, always are

diction that our country never VIII

SOLDERING
IS POPULAR
AS VACATION
Young Men Are FIocking to
Uncle Sans Training
Camps.
Tim es Washington Bureau.
1922 NetO York 4Us,

EV7 ASHINGTON, July 10. -
IW Among the most popular va
IL cations for the young man
this summer is a month at one of
Uncle Sans training camps, learn
ing how to be a soldier.
Capt. c. C. Lowe. who handles the
applications for entrance into these
citizens training camps, says that
never before has there been so many
men on the waiting list Up to date
there have been $4,000 applications.
a considerably larger number than
the $4,000 whom it was first planned
to accommodate.
| With the extra appropriation of
$4,000 granted by the Senate over
the House bill for S2.100. 900. making
a total of 1920, 900 for this work,
Captain Lowe believes that 80, 500
men can be trained.
Citizens training camps were
started in the summer of 1921, when
10000 boys attended. In 1929 the
number was more than doubled
$4,000 recruits were on hand.
Twenty four thousand were handled
| In 1923.
Four-Year Course
The courses given were originally
known as the red, white and blue.
One was given each year and the
boys graduated when they had fin
ished the blue course. The red course
was devoted to the duties of a pri-
vate soldier. 1t has been found,
however, that more time is needed
for the instruction in the duties of
private soldier, so the complete
course has been heightened to four
years. From now on the first year
will be devoted to what is known
as the basic course
After boy has attended camp for
four successive summers, and has
finished the red, white and blue
courses, he may, if he wishes, take
an examination. If he passes he
may be offered a commission in the
Reserve Corps.
General Pershing is anxious that
every one, particularly mothers,
should understand that boys are not
enlisting in the Army when they en-
ter one of these training camps. No
boy is even kept there for the month
against his will. However, because
the War Department feels some re-
sponsibility for these youngsters
they insist on letters which will
guarantee their earnestness and good
faith.
Some Run Away
Once in a while a boy of II or
so wilt think it a good chance to
get away from home for a trip by
telling his family that he is going to
the camp. Precautions are taken
that the lads will not use the camp
as an excuse and try to get away
from it as soon as they arrive, to
carry out some plan which they
have not told to their parents.
Board and room are Furnished
free. The Government gives the
recruit a suit of private's clothes
and pays him 5 cents a mile for
transportation to and from the
camp.
John Coolidge, son of the Presi-
dent, took this training at Camp
Devens, Mass, last summer. and ex
