"Well, not exactly traffic. But
they give you lots of bayonet train

Property Claims
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
1t is costing upwards of $1,000 900
to train $4,000 officers and men Of
the First Army in the two-week war
games at Plattsburg, N. Y, and
Manassas, Va.
1t figures out at $40 each. The
estimate is tentative, as officials said
the War Department would be to-
falling figures for months to deter
mine the exact cost.
Whatever the final total Of the
bills for food, pay, transportation
rent of land and damage to farmers
crops and fences, it is the Army's
contention that the cost is reason
able enough.
Only by means of actual opera
tions Of large bodies of troops can
the Regulars and National Guards
men be trained to the teamwork vi
tai to their efficiency as fighting
forces, it is contended.
Food Costs 100000.
At As cents man per day food
alone cost upwards of 5000 900 for
both concentrations. Pay of the
soldiers runs up to a matter of
$500 900, figuring it ultra -conserva-
lively at an average of $40 each for
the fortnight under arms.
Though the fourth battle of Ma
nassas" concluded Friday, hard work
is still demanded of a group of
Army Claims Board officers COM
manded by 1t. Col. Lucas Meri-
wether Smith, judge advocate of the
Sd Corps Area.
The group must settle claims for
damage to private property during
the period when $4,000 acres we're
turned into Temporary military
reservation.
The most common form of claim
results from the removal of cattle
from fields used by troops. Fences
and other damaged property are
being repaired wherever possible by
engineer troops who undertake to
make the repairs better than the
original condition.
Boom Business in Produce.
Damage to growing crops is esti-
mated on the basis of averages of
local residents.
The same officers receiving the
claims worked for months in ad-
vance of the war games arranging
leases. and. during the maneuvers,
served near the front lines to in
spect damage and receive claims
without delay.
Virtually all the Virginia farmers
granted the Army free use of their
lands. subject to reimbursement for
damage. They were rewarded, at
least in part, by boom business in
produce and soft drinks, and by new
/ wells and other facilities the troops
provided. Probably 100000 was
spent for local produce in the Ma
nassas area and twice as much is
being expended in the New York
area, it was estimated.
