Serious Housing Problems
Now Facing Army

Serious problems of housing are
expected to face the military estab-
lishment when it calls the Guard
into the services for a year of in
struction in modern warfare, per-
haps to be topped by calling into
the service hundreds of thousands
OF conscripts to be trained by the
Regular Army and the National
Guard. The Regular Army itself is
just beginning to dig itself out OF a
serious housing problem which has
existed since the World War, and
was only able to do so with the aid
of public works funds. Thousands
of the troops in posts throughout
the country since the World War
have been compelled to live in the
old cantonments built for that time.
1t seems now that an even worse
problem faces the militia and the
conscripts, and if called out too soon
the unframed men are likely to find
themselves in tented cities, some of
them merely pup tents, until the
carpenters and lumber can be
gathered to re-enact picture
familiar to those who watched the
growth of these long buildings dur
ing the war which housed troops
during the training period.
Senator Reynolds of North Caro-
lima said that he could not under
stand the haste needed to get the
troops into the service of the United
States when no provision has been
made for them in the way Of equip
ment. He said that he made a re-
cent trip to Langley Field, Va, where
he saw hundreds of men, whom he
said were volunteers, occupying pup
tents out on a swampy field, and in
addition he saw cots in an airplane
hangar. The Army, he said, did not
have any equipment for these men,
and all of them were in civilian
clothes.
Because of the lack of proper
housing there is a belief that the
Army will find it necessary to send
the troops to the Southern States
where the climate will be more con-
ducive to outdoor living.
1t was asserted that if the men are
called out within the next few
months it will be physically impos-
sible to provide the housing facil-
tiles for them, to give them the
necessary physical protection which
they will require during the harden
ing process. In many places, it was
added, where the camps or canton
ments are to be located it will be
man-sized job to effect a clearing
of the land to provide open ground
for the construction not only of the
buildings but for the necessary camp
utilities, including, light, water and
sanitation.
