PLATTSBURG, N. Y., June -
Major General Leonard Wood, com
manding the Department of the
East, wants it made clear that the
training tamp which opened here is
for every American citizen who
wishes to be of aid to h.s country in
case of war. He called reporters ti>
Tis headquarters to set at rest
rumors that there was, or would be,
any social distinction whatever
shown in recruiting men for the
camp.
"Preparedness,” said Major Wood,
“has caught on. So far more than
2.000 business men and others have
signed for the Plattsburg camp this
year. Among these there are a
great number of college students.
f Princeton is leading with the largest
enrollment of the colleges. We ex
pect to have between 20,000 and
35.000 men here this year. The
summer instruction camp idea is
favored by many persons who cannot
join us. A woman wrote me recent
ly offering to pay the expenses of
oigljt young men at Plattsburg. I
have received many letters ask ng
for an opportunity to help in this
way. As two -weeks is not long
enougn to acquaint a man with the
necessary training for service, I
wish to urge employers to extend
vacations of their employees who
are at the camp to a month. This
seems the least time in which to in
struct properly a man in the duties
and requirements of a soldier.
"The governors of Virginia and
South Carolina appointed commit
tees in the cities and towns of their
states to organize groups for the
camp and their representations are
large.
