to come into possession of the
G overnm n ia sealskin- and wood
chart Of the Crown Prince Islands west
Of Greenland, made by an Eskimo.
The map, besides being a geographic
cal curiosity, possesses rare scientific
value, for among the SO islands charted
in a 70-square-mile area are As islands
found on no other map. It was known
these islands existed, but no survey of
them for map purposes had been made
prior to the lone Eskimo's canoe and
dog sle6ge expedition.
The islands are indicated on the map
by pieces of driftwood laboriously carved
and painted to represent the actual
appearance Of the jutting bits of land
which dot Disco Bay, on the west coast
of Greenland. The driftwood, which
reaches Greenland from Siberia by way
OF the polar regions, was fastened to
the sealskin "sea" by means of thongs.
The maker, one Silas Sandgreen,
Eskimo hunter, was commissioned to
chart the islands as a result of a

Opening in June Doubtful
Due to Drain on Resources
for C. C. C.
RESERVE OFFICERS USED
IN REFORESTATI0N WORK
Operation After July / Hinges on
Gen. Malone and Budget
Figures.

Due TO the heavy drain on Army re-
sources by the Civilian Conservation
Corps, it was learned definitely today
that the Sd Corps Area. which in
cludes the District of Columbia, has
abandoned hope Of opening its June
r. o. T c. training camps, regardless
of the dispute now centering over bud
get allowances for the Army.
Whether the r. o. T. c. camps in
Maryland Virginia, Pennsylvania and
the District of Columbia will be open at
any time after July /, when the new
fiscal year begins, is matter which
hinges not only on the decision of Mai.
Gen. Paul B. Malone, corps area COM
mander, but also on the outcome of the
final budget figures.
Facilities Exhausted.
1t is customary to start the six weeks
training period for the r. o. T. G. units
about June IS. Facilities at all of the
Army posts in the 3rd Corps Area, how
ever, are completely exhausted so far
as helping otlt with the training is
concerned. Not only are commissioned
and Reserve officers being utilized to the
fullest extent at the forest camps, but
available kitchen equipment, medical
officers and other personnel have been
detailed to various camps throughout
the country.
There are nine camps in the 3rd
Corps Area where advanced r. o. T. c..
cadets from the various universities and
military schools are sent for training.
These are Fort George G. Meade, Md; /;
Fort Myer, Va: Fort Monroe, Va; Fort
Hunt, Va; Fort Humphreys, Va; Fort
Hoyle. Md. Edgewood Arsenal, Md;
Carlisle Barracks, Pa, and Aberdeen
Proving Grounds, Md. At all these
posts, it was said, facilities for the stu
dent trainees are practically exhausted
at the present time.
r. o. T. C. cadets from Georgetown
University and the University of Mary
land usually are Sent to Fort Meade
for their training, medical students be-
ing sent to Carlisle Barracks.
Plan Camps st Universities.
In the 9Th Corps Area, with head
quarters in Chicago. 1t was said the
corps commander Is considering hold
ing camps at the State universities as a
solution Of the problem.
This could hardly be done In the
Sd Corps Arear, it was said, due to
the inpossiEility of furnishing the
necessary equipment.
Appropriations for the r. o. T. G,
during the 1884 fiscal year beginning
July l are STATS. .431, reduction of
nearly $500,0o0 from last year, made
up in economies from rations and
clothing allowances. Third Corps Area
officials are studying the situation to
see If there is any possibility Of OPEN
ing r. o. T. c. camps for the regular
six-week period some time after July
l If the Budget Bureau Authorizes ex-
penditures for training purposes.
The availability of equipment and
personnel also figures materially in the
situation.
While it appears rather definite that
the commissioned and enlisted strength
of the Army is to be maintained. the
situation affecting the r. o. T. c., as
well as the Civilian Military Training
Camps, is by no means settled.
