''Hoover-Of the Record''-the in
side story of the late administration
is about to leave the press in the form
of a las, 5,000-word volume from the
pen of Theodore G.. Joslin, Herbert
Hoover's chief secretarial assistant.
Parts Of the narrative will appear dur
ing the next two or three months as
magazine serial, and the book itself
will be published in October. Mr..
JoSlin will deal in detail for the first
! time with outstanding events of the
Hoover administration, up to the
hour of its close on March 4, 1888.
Some of the episodes on which
historical light will be thrown include
the German moratorium of three
years ago, the origin of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, the
celebrated meeting between Mr.. Hoo
yer and the Nations bankers at Sec
retary Melons apartment in August,
1881; the bonus march, the 1882 preSi-
Dental campaign, and the negotia-
tions for collaboration with President
elect Roosevelt on emergency policies
between November, 1882, and March,
1888. The former President gave JOS
lin, now the Washington representa-
tive Of business news service, carte
blanche to tell the story of the Hoo
yer reign without reservation, and
placed all necessary data, including
much documentary material, at his
disposal for that purpose.

Military Training camps, which this
month are entering upon their four

come to naught. Applications for
places in the camps, where young men

Of the country enjoy 80 days of camp
life and rudimentary military educa-
ton, again far outstrip the facilities
available. Funds voted by Congress
enabled the training of 14,0O7 young
men during the fiscal year, 1884, and
it is estimated that approximately
$4,000 can be trained with the money
appropriated for the current year.
Before Congress cut down the c. M

$1,000 trainees was always far below
