Through misinterpretation of War
Department official reports, an err
roneous impression has been created
with respect to the progress of pro
curement for the 1926 citizens mill
tary training camps. AS of April 80
1926, Il total of 23,231 applications had
been received from civilians who wish
to attend the camps this Summer, as
compared with 29,231 on this same
5,@o To- rlnra i,r
alarm, it was pointed out last week
by Lieut.. Cof. John Scott. Infantry
senior executive officer of the organ
lied reserves in Washington, and this
does not imply any doubt of the sue
cess of the 1926 camps. Three rea
sons are given for the present con
dition of citizens military training
camp recruiting. They are. first, Con
Sress was late in passing the citizens
military training camp appropriation
act: secondly. the continuing cold
weather has delayed the plans for the
camp activities; and, thirdly, publicity
was not pushed as early as last year
or made more extensive instead OF
early intensive as last year.
The Sd Corps Area, of which
Washington is part, is ahead of last
years citizens military training
camp recruiting record. AS of April
20, the latest available date for this
corps areas citizens military train
ing camp procurement record shows
that 2,426 applications have been re-
ceiyed as compared to the 1918 appli-
cations received on this same date in
1925, or 26 per cent ahead of 1925.
The cavalry quota has been filled, and
the Signal Corps is practically closed.
