Reserve Officers Training Corps

Camps will be reopened this sea-

Department announces.
The reserve officers camps will
be open for only four weeks in
stead of six, and the other camps
will be limited to those best quail
fled to receive the training. 1t
is estimated that between 37,500
and $4,000 men will be trained in
the camps this year.
The nine army corps command

shortage of officers to handle the
camps, it was said, because so
many have been assigned to re-
