only through the most stringent
economies will the War Department
be able TO take care of the 1925 Sum
mer training camp instruction of the
Organized Reserves. the citizens mill
tary training camps. and the Reserve
Officers Training Corps Last year 81,
-. 600 young men were trained in the
fcitizens' military training camps, and
through the cooperation of the corps
area commanders, coupled with a
strict economy policy, il is expected
that 1000 of the youth of the coun-
trN will receive instruction in the APP
preaching Summer camps. Two i'm.
portant changes in the conduct and
location of the 1925 camps are re
sponSible for the economy which is
now watchword for the War De-
pdrtment. They are: e. a minimum
number of changes in the stations of
regular Army units; 81 drastic re-
duction in the distance which traineeS
are TO be transported to the camps
In carrying out this economy
policy. it has been found desirable to
assemble the traineeS and the Regular
Army units on duty with them at
plan will not appeal to the young
men attending the citizens military
lldlnlnS camps. as most of them pre-
fer longer trip TO the camps. In
yariably, those living near the coast
desire TO be sent to the mountains
while those from the interior prefer
TO be sent to the coast. The War De
partment and corps area commanders
however, in order to carry out the
economy nolicX Nprp rpTnnalIed m die
regard the preference Of camps as
indicated by the embryo officers.
