 New York, May l9-During 20 years of peacetime, the Army made plans for its next war. Tactical de- velopments were worked out, mostly in theory. Sketcheo on paper, too, was the skeleton organization for swift expansion. Industry was stud led and charted against the day when 1t would be mobilized to beat ploughShares into arnor plate.
 You'd think that the canton- ment chaos of 1917 and IS would have prompted preparedness for the next period of large-scale training, with sites selected and surveyed and with every build ing, every road and sewer line in dicated on blueprintS. Brig. Gen. B. B. Somerviu has testified in Washington that If complete plans had been provided at least $i00,- 100000 would have been savde.
 SOLDIERS ARE NOT
 so BADLY OFF
 But according to my observa- tions among camps, posts and fields in the south, conditions as they affect the soldiers in train ing are a good deal better than the reports of some scandalized investigators have indicated. For instance, l walked miles among buildings and tent houses of Camp Shelby, Miss, and saw no evidences of jerry building" no structures falling apart" no shab- by areas of peeling paint. It was the same at Camp Bowie, Tex.
 Camp Blanding, Fla, subject of an investigation by the Senate Committee on National Defense, was @ costly product of bad plan ming, requiring extensive drain age. And the cantonment at Fort Meade, Md was located on such difficult terrain that its estimated cost was about doubled. This camp also was the locale of a la bor racketeering scandal and of great amount of proven waste. I saw mountainous piles of dis carded scrap lumber that testi- fled to extravaganza and ineffi- ciency.
 But actual construction at these and all other camps, once 1t had been finished, is pretty good If you make allowances for green lumber. And such allowances

CHANCE IN TAG DAY
 DATE ANNOUNCED
British Unit Postpones Its Event to Avoid Conflict
 With Poppy Day

The local Bundles for Britain unit has cancelled plans to hold tag days for the benefit of British hos- pitals on Friday and Saturday this week, the action being taken be- cause of the sale of peoples now underway by the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars The veterans had designated Satur- day as Poppy Day.
 The British relief organization will hold its tag days in June, SC as not to interfere with the poppy campaign.
 Commander Francis W. Orencole, president of the Veterans Council, has expressed the thanks of the organization to Molden w. Wilson, chairman of the Bundles for Britain unit, for his cooperation.
 The tag day funds will be used toward restoring 47 Of the 85 hos- pitals that have been bombed in England. The 47 have been "adopt- ed" by the national Bundles for Bril- tain organization.
 The Bundles for Britain unit here. with the aid of Watertown and Woodbury units, has raised $i7,000 iil cash and has sent tons of new and used clothing to Britain.

to 20 outside to get from his bed. room to his living and study room.
 Tn Georgia I met an inspector who was studying camps to esti- mate costs of maintenance and early repairs. He said they would be low in relation to original costs, because the latter had been much too high.
 "In the beginning" he said, "somebody evidently figured that If 10 men could put up building in 10 days, 10000 men could put up thousand buildings in 10 days. Disregarding all the traffic, 1t was assumed that paved roads. sewers and water mains could be installed at the same time. Lunf. Der that cost $25 thousand for the first building was up to $46 by the time the job really got going. They even underestimate cd the weather"

spector was c new move to build ing e chapel for religious services for each regiment in the camps. These would be of o standard but distinctive design, complete with modest steeples and electric or- gans, and would cost $22,0O0 each. At least 500 chapels would be re- quired.
 Later ! asked c regimental chaplain about the plan and dared to suggest that if the cause of democracy has any merit in the eyes of the Lord, He might favor putting the $ll,000,000 into guns or airplanes. The chaplain said maybe that was so, but not to quote him. He also said he be- lieved 1t would be just as well to continue holding religious serv- ices in recreation buildings or camp theaters.
 I asked how many were coming to church, and he said about 76

 Expansion of many of the call- comments continues as new mili- tary units are activated. But there will be no such wild scenes as in the initial stages, when workmen slept at night on the shoulders of highways and traf- fic jams paralyzed bewildered nearby towns. Not even barbed wire could hold back job-seekers, and when the construction quar- termaster at Camp Shelby climb cd on Q shed roof to talk to the crowd, 1t pressed in so closely that the building collapsed.

And there was space enough under some of the inside doors for a cat to squeeze through.
 Some silly mistakes were made in the rush. At Fort Bragg, N. C., some buildings were start- ed where no buildings should have been. At & new southwest ern air field, two-room quarters were ordered built for each offi- cer. But due to some oversight, each pair of rooms had no con- meeting door, and each tenant had
