There were 1o,ooo in IQZI, something over 20,000 in 1922. . The camps were an experiment during the first yearg now they are a part of the permanent policy of the NVar Department. President Harding declared: ' I hope every young man, who can arrange it, will attend one of the Citizens' Military Training Camps, conducted by the War Department in each of the nine Corps Areas. In this way he will increase his worth to the nation and obtain individ- ual benefits of priceless value to himself and to the community in which he lives. I hope to see established, during my ad- ministration, a comprehensive system of voluntary military training for at least IOo,ooo men each year. Whether the camps develop according to the wish of Mr. Harding depends on you and the other candidates. You Went to camp on the invitation of the President as a guest and at the expense of the United States. It cost the Government something like eighty dollars to give you this experience. Has this expenditure been justified? Are you worth that much more as a citizen? Will you be willing in the event of an emergency to give the Government the benefit of the training you have received? The high purpose of the Citizens' Military Training Camp is To bring together young men of all types, both native and foreign born, to develop closer national and social unity, to teach the privileges, duties and responsibilities of American citizenship, to show the public, by actual example, that camp instruction of the kind contemplated will be to the liking of their sonsg that it will develop them physically, mentally and morally, and will teach Americanism in its true sense. The Citizens' Military Training Camps were established for the welfare and security of the country and as a support to its mili- tary policy, as defined by President Harding in the following statement: Our present national defense law establishes an economical and democratic policy thoroughly consistent with our national traditions. It provides for a small Regular Army, to be aug- mented by great citizen forces in the event of national emer- gency. This is our traditional military policy. But whereas in the past these larger war forces have been extemporized after the occurrence of an emergency, the new law wisely provides that the framework of their organization shall be established and developed in time of peace, in so far as this is practicable through the voluntary service of our patriotic young men. The Army of the United States as defined in the new law comprises the Regular Army, the National Guard and the Organized Reserves. livery patriotic citizen should encour- age the development of these forces, each within its proper sphere. THE REGULAR ARMY, in the words of Major General Lassiter, provides the per- mancllt establishment necessary to furnish the overhead and other machinery necessary for the development of a great citizen army and also furnishes our over-seas garrisons, our coast defense troops,our military school establishment and a limited number of mo- Pagr Sfrrn lull S cf Pngf' lfiglzl N W. WI-111: 1'fIll'y nf ll :lf I THE DEFENDER -l bile troops ready for serviceiat any time at home or abroad. This force is strictly lim- ited in numbers in time of peace, but plans are provided for expansion in time of war.,, The functions of the Regular Army in peace time are many, important and of great economical value to the country. In pioneer days the Wiar Department rendered great service through the building of highways, canals and railroads, mapping new areas and locating titles, developing waterways and protecting the frontiers against the Indians. In a recent address Secretary John W. WVeeks briefly mentioned some work which the Army is doing today for the country. Through the Signal Corps and the Air Service it is co-operating with the Weather Bureau in the important service which the latter is rendering the public. In many parts of the country the Signal Corps is overcoming through its radio service the isolation of the farm. The Air Service is assisting the Department of Agriculture in its war against pests, a struggle in which the Chemical Warfare Service is doing good work quite aside from the varied help it is giving the industries of the coun- try. The spread of forest fires has been largely prevented through the observers of the Air Service and in many others ways the VVar Department is working with other Govern- mental agencies for public health and prosperity. THE NATIONAL GUARD is the second component of the Army of the United States and is by far the greater in time of peace, while in time of war, it will contribute fully one-third to the force available for national security. It is organized today on a federal basis and its support comes from both national and state appropriations. Upon the Nation- al Guard rests a primary responsibility for domestic quiet, it is a part of every community in proportion to population, and you who have been in the Citizens, Military Training Camp have a moral obligation to consider what you can contribute to its strength. THE ORGANIZED RESERVE represents concretely the principle of voluntary train- ing for national defense, merely a skeleton organization in time of peace,it is planned to be the basis on which can be developed a citizens, army in time of war. Future officers for the Reserve will come from the R. O. T. C. of our colleges and universities and from you graduates of the Citizens, Military Training Camps. They will not be available, how- ever, when need arises unless the youth of the country is filled with the thought of service. You know that no military obligation is involved in Citizens, Military Training Camp attendance during the first two years. For the White Course and for the Blue you are asked to enroll in some component of the Army of the United States,, and this will probably mean for you the Organized Reserve in case for any reason you cannot join the National Guard. In point of fact to sign your name for the Reserve involves no call to active duty or training, since there are no present appropriations for this purpose, but it should mean for you a solemn recognition of the service you owe your country and must perform in any case under draft legislation in time of need. The real difference for you lies in a better preparation if ever the nation is called to arms, and you have this because of your own desire to get ready for such emergency. The principle of voluntary training underlay the college, business and professional men,s camps in IQI3, ,I4, ,IS and ,I6. The graduates of these Plattsburg,, camps, in the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt and Leonard Wood, formed the Military Training Camps Association, which did great work in recruiting for the Officers, Training Camps and for the different branches of the Service during the World War. After the Armistice this Association suggested to the War Department that civilian camps be conducted through- out the country, thus reviving the thought of Red, White and Blue Camps, so warmly supported by Newton D. Baker when he was Secretary of War. Voluntary training is, indeed, the policy of no one political party, but has received the consistent endorsement of Republicans and Democrats alike. No partisan consideration has ever entered into the training camp movement, which aims simply at good citizenship. When Congressional appropriations were first asked for the Citizens, Military Training Camps, Julius Kahn, Chairman of the Military Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, argued for them on the broad basis of civic advantage: Page Nine THE DEFENDER X '4The value of this timated on a financial basis. The physical benefits derived by the participants will be invaluable. lt will add materially to the virility of our young meng it will teach them self-reliance, re- spect for law and or- der, and obedience to constituted au thor- ity-essentials that are absolutely neces- sary in a Republic like ours. james W. NVads- worth, Chairman of the Senate Commit- tee, made at the same time a prophetic state- ment, which the last three years have justi- fied: The great interest manifested by the country in these Camps will make it clear to everyone con- cerned with military affairs that thc prin- i ciple upon which they l are based is a sound ' one and that young America Welcomes the ciliNl'1RAl. -l0llN j. Piznsnixo idea of voluntary mil- itary trainingf, The same thought of service and the necessary preparation for it was impressively set forth by Secretary Wieeks when he said: I hope that the time is not far distant when every young man in the country will look forward, seriously and expect- antly,to his attendance at this institution for the moulding of men. If you want to test whether you have profited by your summer,as the men hope who started this movement,eompare the results in yourself with the benefits which General Pershing sees in voluntary training: lt develops the physical vigor and manliness of our youth and sharpens their mentality. It teaches self-discipline and respect for constituted authority. It encourages initiative and gives young men confidence in their abilities. The Pngf Tm i training cannot be es- + THE DEFENDER thought and the act of preparation for service increase their patriotism. Association with men from all walks ol life em- phasizes our democracy. We talte the young man out of his local environment' and extend his acquaintance to men from different localities. These experiences in a large sense supple- ment the lrome ledlucatqion and these young men go back with expanded cnow et ge. ' Your month of training showed you that the XYar Department gave much thought to the Citizens' Camps of 1923. The General Staff administered twenty-tive of them under the immediate direction of Nlajor General John l.. Hines, Deputy Chief of Stall, and of Major General W'illiam Lassiter, head of the Operations and Training Division. The regulations formulated by them were interpreted and applied by oflicers especially concerned with the Citizens' Nlilitary Training Camps, Colonel lidgar T. Col- lins who was at Platts- burg Barracks in the early days of the train- ing camps, l.t. Colonel Royden lfi. lieebe and Captain Charles C. Lowe. To all these men and to your corps area, camp and com- pany commanders you owe and doubtless will pay the debt of grat- itude. The daily sched- ule of the camp took due consideration of your age and strength. hlilitary instruction was confined for the most part to the morn- ing hours and a large part of each day you could give to any one of a considerable va- riety of athletic sports under expert super- vision. This helped you to develop a habit of life which will lead to physical health and vigor. You had many forms of recreation for your leisure hours and the guidance of sym- pathetic and experi- eneedmcninthemain- tenance ofa high ideal of personal and civic conduct. You prob- ably increased in lOllNl4.lllNl'1S Pngr lflfcwz tllnf. Cyn. U. S. .flrmy 1 --l' THE DEFENDER weight and heightg in any case you trained to a condition of bodily fitness. All these things you know but to some benefits for yourself and others you may not have given thought. Vv'hen you wrote your application for the Citizens' Military Training Camp you were given a physical examination, it was not very severe, but it served to impress both you and your friends with the importance of physical health. At the camp you passed another test and then entered on a course of training which has certainly given you a greater sense of physical well-being. You were taught also some basic facts of per- sonal and social hygiene and sanitation to carry back to your own home town and pass on to your comrades, thus becoming yourself the missionary of a new gospel of physical health and efliciency. Perhaps now you can get posted in your town hall or post oflice the printed standards of bodily condition and capacity and so help to make a new generation of able-bodied youth. Something, too, you learned at camp about the duties of a citizeng you must have felt occasionally, as never before, the thrill of patriotismg the whole train- ing tended to develop in you certain habits and ways of thinking which will make you more worthwhile in the town in which you live. You have found that a Citizens, Military Training Camp is a place where military, physical and civic training are combined to make a better citizen. . YVhen you heard about the training camps the idea aroused a quick response but you Wm. LAss1'r1zR Maj. Cm. U. S. Jrmy 1,11 gr Twrlve probably never thought how difli- cult it is to make this opportunity known to a million or more young men who come each year to the proper age for admission. The mere broad-casting of information about the camps is in itself a tremendous task. VVhen one considers the amount of time, energy and money,involved in an ordinary primary or general election even within the confines of one State one has some idea of what is needed in publicity. The VVar Department has en- trusted as far as possible the con- duct of these camps to the nine Corps Area Commanders through- out the United States. To each Headquarters is attached a Citi- zens' Military Training Camp Of- ficer, who is primarily responsible for recruiting within the area. The Corps Area Commander has at his service also for this purpose the Regular Army Officers, who are his Chiefs of Staff with the Reserve Divisions and also the Ofiicers who are detailed as R. O. T. C. instruc- tors at schools, colleges and uni- versities. In brief, the entire re- sources ofthe regular establishment are available and have been used effectively for the promotion of citizen training. For the past three years the War Department has had the help THE DEFENDER also of patriotic and military socie- ties, business and social groups of many kinds, including Chambers of Commerce, the American Legion, the Knights of Columbus, manu- facturers, bankers, merchants, agri- cultural societies and especially of men of civilian occupation, who hold commissions in the Reserve. All of these have rendered import- ant service and more particularly the Military Training Camps Asso- ciation of the United States, which has developed into a nation-wide non-political, civilian organization acting as a self-starter in the re- cruiting work of other civilian groups. Its relation to the War Department is indicated by a letter from the Secretary of War, reading in part as follows: IYAR DEP,iR'rM1sNT November 28, IQ22. Mr. Charles B. Pike, Military Training Camps Assn., 210 Mallers Building, Chicago, Illinois I am pleased to inform you that I accept in principle the pat- riotic offer of the Military Train- ing Camps Association submitted to me by you on October Ioth, 1922, and I hereby extend to the llmlis W- IIIMTSWOTWII Military Training Camps Associ- ation formal recognition as a co- operating agency in fostering the voluntary military training of citizens. To promote cooperation between the Military Training Camps Association and the agencies of the IVar Department, I authorize the appointment of Civilian Aides to the Secretary of War, these Aides to comprise a Chief Civilian Aide and an Aide for each corps area, each State and for the District of Columbia. The Chief Civilian Aide will be appointed directly by the Secretary of War on nomination by the Military Training Camp Association, other Civilian Aides on nomination by the Military Training Camps Assoc- ation and with approval of corps area commanders concerned. The foregoing Civilian Aides will be appointed for a period of four years, subject to renomination and reappoint- ment at the close of that period 4' 'F ' 'Q 4' The Military Training Camps Association is further authorized to create a system of county and local chairmen-thus completing in detail a nation-wide organization for Citizens, Military Training Camp recruiting in the time of peace and for such wider func- tion as may be requested by the VVar Department ' 4' ' ' 'k I am highly appreciative of the patriotic motives which have led the Military Training Camps Association to make the valued offer which has been accepted above, and Clmiriuan of lln' Srnalr Clllllllllifffl' Military .-Xllairs Pagf 7'lzirzm1 -1 THE DEFENDER -- v look forward with pleasurable antic- ipation to the results to be achieved by this plan of cooperation. Yours very truly, . CSignedD JOHN W. WEEKS. Secretary of War. Pursuant to this action by the NVar Department the Military Training Camps Association at its new Headquarters in Chicago made the following nominations as Civi- lian Aides to the Secretary of War and they were duly confirmed: Chief Civilian Aide, Charles B.

Thacher and all national officers ex-officio. You are naturally interested in the Military Training Camps Association because its primary concern is for the Citizens' Military Training Camps. To promote this work it has effected an organization during the current year in accordance with the thought of the Secretary of WVar by the appointment of Civilian Aides in every State, and also the District of Columbia,and the selection by them of their own representatives in every county so far as time has permitted. It was diflicult to inform young men truly in re- gard to the camps of 1923. In one county after considerable newspaper announcement, many possible candidates were found to be still under the impression that the camps were intended for those only who have had some military training, that they are not really free of expense or that enrollment implies enlistment in the Regular Army. To Page Fourfrcn -- THE DEFENDER --- make known the Citizens' Nlilitary Training Camp opportunity the YVar Department and the Association have used airplanes, radios, moving pictures, billboards, poster cards, electric signs, window displays, banners, bands, public meetings, private conferences and much newspaper space. After all this effort it is quite certain that hundreds of thousands of young men of suitable age throughout the country have no clear idea of the Citizens' Military Training Camps and that until the camps shall have been established for a num- ber of years the prime difliculty will be the lack of adequate publicity. ln order to make the camps better known the Military Training Camps Associa- tion has encouraged the formation of visiting committees at each training point. lt has offered at every camp bronze medals for excellencen for the most soldierly candidate in each company and in addition has secured prizes for military and athletic contests. Looking to the future of the Citizens, Military Training Camps the Association endeavors to gather candidates at every camp into a permanent organization by States and Counties. If you have enjoyed your month oftraining tell all your friends about itgwrite toyour Congressman and to the two Senators in i your State and let them know what you have gained thru the Citizens' Military Training Camps. Get into touch early with . the representative of the hlilitary Training l Camps Association in your county. If you do not find one listed in this book write to the State Civilian Aide and he will tell you ' both name and ad- dress. Above all, sign E up early yourself for next year's camp and let the Citizens' Mili- tary Training Camp Officer at your Corps Area Headquarters put you down as a volunteer recruiting agent for the training of 1924. lVIore camps- larger camps-better camps, year by year is the wish of THIS MILITARY ' TRAINING CAAIPS Maj.

And when the performance of that duty results in an increase of value of the individual to the state in peace and in war the individual may properly be congratulated by others. To those who have attended the Training Camps in this Corps Area this year such congratu- lations are tendered. From that attendance come to you a better physique and a knowledge of exercises of value in conserving that better physique, of clean living and of sanitation, that increase your potential value as a citizen sufficiently to justify the expenditures of federal funds necessary for your attendance. Also, you have been under a control that includes respect for authority, and your loyal cooperation will not fail to increase your respect for and obedience to law. Think of all your fellow students well, and of the progress in these respects they have made dur- ing their attendance this year, and then ask yourself how great would be the result could all the young men of this nation undergo a similar course of instruction and discipline. In addition, you have received at least a limited amount of instruction that will be of great value to the state and to yourselves in any war that may involve the United States during the years of your military availability. You at least will not be in the position of some of our men in the past who, because of our lack of preparation in time of peace, from necessity went into the front line in battle before they not only had never fired a riiie but had never even loaded one. A Recall that in the great World War one-sixth of our officers had prior training in the Regular Army or in the National Guardq one-third had the short period of the Training Campsg the remainder had no training prior to their command of troops in war. Think of this well, and then fthink of the cost of unpreparedness, not only in dollars, but in lives. But, says the dreamer: Let us outlaw war! Crime has been outlawed for many centuries, and crime still persists. The dreamer of dreams has been with us always, and, no sooner does he awake from one rosy dream than he goes to sleep and dreams another even more rosy than its-predecessor. Of far greater value than dreams is the ability to act. To walk in righteousness is the duty of all,-states as well as individuals. That state which through sloth, love of luxury, or as result of false teaching, loses the ability to decide upon and to follow its own paths of righteousness soon loses the respect of other states and its own self respect and sinks into dependency or even oblivion. Recall the means by which the United States acquired sovereignty over the land now under the flag, recall how we are the great creditor nation of the world, and then recall the words of the Nazarene: When a strong man armed keepeth his palace his goods are in peace. H 1 CHARLES H. Mum Major General, U. S. Army Commanding. Pagz Ninzlezn -- THE DEFENDER -l- T j CM TC Q Procurement The Third Corps Area, including the States of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia and the District of Col- umbia, with a total population of I2,924,000, falls with certain minor ex- ceptions under the military command of the Corps Area Commander, Major General Charles H. Muir, U.S.A ,with Headquarters in Baltimore, Md. Thru the Corps Area Commanders thelrVarDepartment disseminates mili- tary information among citizens in order that there may be built up in time of peace a citizenry of informed and trained persons enabled to come to the aid of the nation in case of war with a better conception of, and quali- hcations for, service than has hitherto existed in the history of our country. TheThird Corps Area is sub-divided into twelve Districts corresponding in each case to the area allocated to an Infantry Regiment of the Reserve Division and composed of a num- ber of counties. For purposes of CMTC procurement each District is allotted a quota based upon the military population thereof, so that no favoritism is shown. Procurement of candidates for the CMTC at Camp Meade and Fort Monroe was under the direction of Major Alfred H. Erck, Officer-in-Charge CMTC Affairs, Third Corps Area Headquarters, assisted by Major Samuel H. McCleary and Captain Edmund G. Steis. According to the policy of the War Department full use was made of both mili- tary and civilian agencies in the work of publicity. The Regular Army Officers, detailed to the Reserve Divisions, and the Military Training Camps Association, as the primary civilian agency, worked in close conjunction and entire harmony. The Chief of Staff of the 79th Division, Colonel Edward Carpenter, CAC, with head- quarters at Schuylkill Arsenal, Philadelphia, had direct charge of all CMTC procure- ment activities conducted Within the territory allocated to his division, i. e., the four CMTC districts located in Eastern Pennsylvania, likewise, the Chief of Staff of the 99th Division, Colonel Marcus D. Cronin, Infantry, with headquarters in Pittsburgh, had charge of the four CMTC districts in Western Pennsylvania, the Chief of Staff of the Non-Divisional Group, Colonel Clint C. Hearn, CAC, with headquarters in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, had charge of certain counties i11 Central Pennsylvania as were surrendered to him by Colonel Carpenter and Colonel Cronin, the Chief of Staff, 62nd Cavalry Division, Colonel George T. Langhorne, Cavalry, with headquarters at Hagerstown, Maryland, had charge of the two CMTC districts in the State of Maryland, including the District of Columbia, the Acting Chief of Staff Soth Division, Lt. Colonel James P. Robinson, Infantry, with headquarters at Richmond, Virginia, had charge of the two CMTC dis- tricts in the State of Virginia. These Chiefs of Staff were assisted by the military personnel on duty Within the several CMTC districts. The Third Coast Artillery District Commander, Brig. GeneralWilliam R. Atriuin H. Eacic Major, Infantry Pagr Twrnly 1 THE DEFENDER -- Smith, U. S. A., made a personal visit to the President of the NVillia1n and Mary College to arouse the enthu- siasm of the students. VVhile there he urged the citizens of NVilliamsburg, Virginia, to select the eligible young men of their community and thus secure the quota that was set aside for them. Colonel 17.1-lowell, CAC, Com- manding Officer Coast Defense of the Chesapeake Bay, Fort Monroe, Vir- ginia, organized and put into full op- eration the plan for his procurement of CMTC applicants. He secured the cooperation of the press of Hampton, Newport News and Norfolk, his ofii- eers were enthusiastic in working for the success of the CMTC, and talks were given by them on every occasion while at clubs and other gatherings. Company Commanders of his Post, as well as those of Fort Eustis, Virginia, had the Enlisted Men of their organ- izations write to friends of their home towns outlining the Summer Training project for young civilians. Homer-:I3.lelA1ue The Officers on duty with the Civilian Jidr lo lflr Secretary of llfar for Ilzf Third Corpr firm National Guard of the several states worked to present the object and purposes of the CMTC before gatherings of interested citizens. The Professors of Military Science and Tactics, at the many colleges having ROTC units, rendered full cooperation and assistance by visiting secondary schools near their stations with the object of bringing to the student body and their instructors the desirability of young men attending the CMT Camps. The Military Training Camps Association, a nation-wide organization of pub- lic spirited citizens striving to keep alive the thought of citizenship and preparedness, is directed within the Third Corps Area by Horace B. Hare, under his appointment as Civilian Aide to the Secretary of War for theThird Corps Area. His associates and as- sistants as civilian aides for the commonwealths are as follows: Theodore Rosen, Pennsylvania, George ES. Bayless,Maryland, LeRoy W.Herron, District of Columbia, Douglas S. Freeman, Virginia. These Civilian Aides directed and supervised the CMTC procurement activities within their own states of all citizens who accepted appointments to serve as district representa- tives and as County CMTC Chairmen, and work was so conducted as to assist all other agencies engaged in procurement of applicants for the Citizens' Nlilitary Training Camps. All agencies, military or civilian, were charged to keep in touch with one another to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort and to prevent endless confusion. The excellent team work brought about by this plan was evidenced by the Civilian Aide for the Third Corps Area in arranging for the Chief of Staff of the 79th Division to talk to young men of St. Lukeis School, Philadelphia, and of Haverford College. Colonel Carpenter in turn ar- ranged for Major Hare to join General Muir's party in Scranton where Lt. Edgar VV. Connell, ORC, organized a meeting with the assistance of the local District leader. The CMTC Districts were placed under thc supervision of District Representatives as follows: No. I, David IQ. Wiilliams, Jr., Philadelphia, No. 2, George Ross, Philadelphia, No. 3, Mark T. Milnor, Harrisburg, No. 4, George WV. lillis, Scranton, No. 5, Edward Pngr Twrrzty-om' --l THE DEFENDER 1- Martin, ivVashington, No. 6, Donald J. Howard, Altoona, No. 7, C. B. Nixon, Pitts- burgh, No. 8, Dan T. Balmer, Brookville, P remaining districts, no appointments made. These District Representatives in turn were assisted by County CMTC Committees composed of one citizen to serve as chairman and as personal representative of the State Civilian Aide appointing him, a National Guard Officer nominated by the Command- ing General or the Adjutant General of his state, a Reserve Officer nominated by the Chief of Staff of his Division, one or more Medical Officers, Reserve Corps or other in- terested physicians, who volunteered to give the physical examinations and inoculations for typhoid-paratyphoid and smallpox with- out charge to the applicants for CMTC training, and other citizens selected by each County CMTC Committee. The list of physicians who volunteered and who cooperated so patriotically in ex- amining and inoculating applicants for CMTC training, contains the names of . doctors of the Regular Army, Organized Re- serves, National Guard, Navy, Public Health Service, State Health Boards, Pennsylvania Railroad and others who had no service affiliation. One, Doctor A. .T. Finch, Chase City, Virginia, appeared before three High Schools in a personal drive to stimulate the How of applicants, whom he later examined and inoculated before the opening of the camp. All of these men set an ex- ample of patriotic service and of interest , in the national defense that should earn the l gratitude of all those who have the welfare 1 of our country at heart. Big businesses, so often abused for doing or not doing this or that in the conduct of their affairs, rendered hearty and helpful assistance to our project. The Chesapeake 8: Ohio, Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line, and the Richmond Fredericksburg Sc Potomac Railroad placed CMTC posters in all their stations and instructed their ticket agents about the object and purposes of the CMTC in order to help broadcast information of our camps. The Pennsylvania Railroad Sys- tem, the Baltimore 8: Ohio Railroad, Nor- folk 8c Western Railroad Company, the Southern Railroad System, and the W'ash- ington, Baltimore St Annapolis Electric Rail- way Company even went further by de- signing, printing and displaying CMTC posters paid for from their own funds. .

Owners and operators of hfloving Pic- ture Theatres throughout the Third Corps Area were most kind and helpful in project- ing CMTC information upon their screens. John W'anamaker, Philadelphia, in- cluded a panel on the CNITC in their daily advertisements in the Philadelphia papers. Strawbridge 8: Clothier in a similar manner were glad to bring to the attention of the young men of Philadelphia and vicinity that a CMT Camp was to be held in the Third Corps Area. Gimbel Brothers car- ried a CMTC window display and permitted the establishment of a Recruiting Station inside the store during the duration of this display. Facts concerning the CMTC were broadcasted from the Radio Broadcasting Stations located at VVoodWard 8a Lothrop Department Store, VVashington, D. C., and from John Wanamaker's in Philadelphia. The entire press throughout the Third Corps Area was most liberal in carrying editorials, news items and panels to serve FENDER --- LEROY W. l'l1siu1oN . Civilian Jidz' for the Dixlrirl of Columbm as abbreviated applications for requests for information. They cannot be commended too highly for the splendid support rendered in connection with our campaign. All of it was absolutely without cost to the govern- ment. Newspapers helped in giving wide publicity to letters endorsing the CMTC which were received from Governors of States, Mayors of large cities, prominent bankers, lawyers, clergymen, welfare workers and others prominent in their community. The young men who attended former CMT Camps were designated 'LGO-GliT- TERSN and urged to induce their friends to attend the IQ23 camp. From time to time proper literature was sent to each Go-Getter in his drive for applicants. The parents were of material assistance in establishing contact with hundreds of young men whom they considered eligible to take the training for which their own sons had been enrolled. In conclusion, it appeared to be the fact that the young citizens sent to camp this year were an exceptionally high-class lot. This was evidenced in a good many ways and was due to the agents exercising more care in making their selection of applicants. A small percentum of rejections at camp-only about one percent-is an additional indica- tion that the men were selected with particular care. The success of the Citizens' Military Training Camps will depend year after year on the loyal support of their graduates. Every man is urged to enroll for 1924, to tell his friends about camp life, in the hope that they Will send in their names to the Corps Area CMTC Oflice as soon as possible, and finally to look upon his training in citizenship and preparedness from two view-points-one as a personal asset, and the other as an asset to the nation in case of national emergency.

The camp life necessarily included a great deal of hard Work which you met cheerfully and willingly even when the reasons therefore were not always apparent to you. By so doing you subjected yourselves to a mental discipline, Which, I am sure, steadied and strengthened your character, while the regular life, diet, and controlled exercise were quick- ening and improving you physically and mentally. I think you can hardly doubt that your month at Camp Meade was good for you individually, but, more important than this, you should pride yourselves upon the voluntary performance of a high duty to your country. Camps of this character are still in their infancy. You are therefore, in a sense, pioneers in this great movement which promises incalculable bene- f1t to the Whole manhood of the Nation by the production of higher character, better physique, and all the other attributes of preparedness for the duties of the good citizen whether in peace or in war. I hope this book will prove a happy reminder of the man's job you ac- complished this summer and of a tour of duty, which, in its associations and comradeship, must have contained its full share of pleasure as well as of work. With best wishes for the future of each individual, and with repeated assurance of the great pleasure I found in working with you and for you, I am, Very sincerely yours, H. B. FISKE, Commanding Page Twenty-five -- THE DEFENDER --- Prologue From Pennsylvania, from Maryland, from the District of Columbia, from Virginia, came the men to the Camp Meade Citizens' Military Training Camp, to study and practice the fundamentals of the great profession of arms, so that they might be prepared and fitted in times of peace to take up the arms of our Country in case of any emergency. lVhen the camp ended we went back to our homes, schools, colleges, and different walks of life very much better qualified to take up these various duties because of the intensive training received. With us went memories of a month's delightful association, friend- ships formed, and downright hard work. This book will serve to keep our memories green and friendships fresh. In future years we shall be able to look at these pictures and recognize prominent men in various vocations who drilled, marched, played and shared our common joys in Camp Meade. Every candidate of Camp Meade will voice the sentiment that it was a month well spent. To all who have gone before, we offer this Annual as a testimony to the fact that the young men of our great land are pressing forward to fill up the depleted ranks of trained officers who must sooner or later pass on their duty to us. To this end we have resolved to go forward regardless of mishaps or hardships. To those who did not come to Camp we sincerely hope that the following pages have portrayed our work, our delights, our varied experiences, and sorrows in such a fashion as to encourage more young men to attend the CMTC in the years to come.

EXAMINATION There were 2173 candidates examined by the Medical and Dental board and of this number 2O were found to be deficient physically, and were rejected and sent home. The last week of the camp four hundred candidates were examined to determine the change, in any, in their physical condition and ggfz, were found to have gained in weight, and improved in chest expansion, as well as in general health. INSTRUCTION There was a total of IO hours of medical instruction allotted to the men of the Basic Red course. The Blues and W'hites had received their instruction in previous years. The subjects covered by Medical Officers in lectures to the men were Personal Hygiene, First Aid, and Field Demonstrations. Many good methods and ideas were taught the men in these courses, which, if followed, will go a long way in keeping these men well in time of peace as well as in war, and will be the means of saving many others, that they may come in contact with through life, the torture of pain and suffering while awaiting the arrival of a doctor and, no doubt, at times, even the life of the sick or injured. VACCINATIONS AND INOCULATIONS There were 1561 candidates inoculated against typhoid fever, I552 vaccinated against smallpox, and the Scheick test for susceptibility to diphtheria was given to 2104 candi- dates, 602, of which were found to be susceptible to the disease. CARE OF PATIENTS Lieut. Col. jacob M. Coffin, M.C., Camp Surgeon, with a staff of II Medical and 4 Dental Officers, and six nurses Cfemalel conducted the Medical activities of the camp through the agency of the Station Hospital and 3 Regimental Infirmaries. The duties of the II Medical and 4 Dental Officers were as follows: Francis M. Fitts, Major, M. C. Camp Sanitary Ofiicer. Charles W. Sales, Major, INI. C. Surgeon, ROTC units. Howard Hume, Major, M. C. Chief Surgical Service. Edgar S. Linthicum, Major, M. C. Surgeon, CMTC units. Ralph H. Simmons, Captain, M. C. Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. Joseph R. Shelton, Captain, M. C. Surgeon, 12th Infantry. Charles W. Metz, Captain, M. C. Assistant Surgeon, ROTC units. Charles R. Bullock, Captain, M. C. Surgeon, 6th Field Artillery, 3rd Cavalry, ISt Engineers, and various other units. Anthony Greco, Captain, M. C. Surgeon, 34th Infantry. Clarence M. Redding, Captain, M. C. Chief of Medical and G. U. Service. Aubin T. King, Captain, M. C. Assistant Surgeon, 6th Field Artillery. David S. Lockwood, Captain, D. C. Dental Surgeon, Station Hospital. Arthur E. Brown, Captain, D. C. Dental Surgeon, 6th Field Artillery. Arne Sorum, Captain, D. C. Dental Surgeon, 34th Infantry. John C. Burr, Captain, D. C. Dental Surgeon, 12th Infantry. The sick rate for the entire camp was extremely low, there was an average of only I7 patients in Hospital per day for the duration of the camp, with only two eases of com- municable diseases, which were promptly isolated and treated thereby preventing a spread of the infection.

Each regular organization was made responsible for the discipline and training of the CMTC Company attached to it. Additional officers were assigned for the duration of the camp. OFFICERS Capt. Jas. V. Ware, Inf. D. O. L. was designated Commanding Officer of the company, while Capt. R. L. Christian, I2tl'l Inf. assumed command of the ISt Battalion. Capt. R. L. Purdon, U. S. A.Retired, was designated as Company Executive Officer. Capt. J. I. Wood, Inf. D. O. L. and Zlld Lieut. S. R. I-Ietzer, Inf. ORC were also as- signed as Tactical Officers. First Lieut.Rooney,and Second Lieut.Birely, both Inf. ORC,'were assigned, but left the company before training started, Lieut. Rooney to serve as Asst. Mess Officer and Lieut. Birely to return to his home. ' The company was organized with three war strength platoons. Blue students were rotated by roster as Company Commanders, Platoon Commanders, First Sergeants and Platoon Sergeants. YVhite and advanced Red students became the Company Non-Com- missioned Officers. The students reported to the company on June 26th and 27th. They were assigned to platoons and squads, checked baggage and reported immediately to the mess hall for a hot meal. The mess attendants were kept on duty day and night and Short Orders were served to each man within IO minutes after his arrival. The men were then taken to warehouses 7 and 9 in motor trucks under an experienced guide, and went through all the details of processing, returning to the company in uniform. Bedding and personal equipment were next issued, bunk space assigned, beds made up, and the men generally occupied in settling down , and making acquaintances. All details of receiving, processing and assigning students were carried out with ex- ceptional smoothness and despatch, and on Wednesday morning, June 27th, we were ready forour first formation. In the weeks that followed the students were made ac- quainted with the various duties of a soldier and customs of the serviceg discovered the meaning of the strange title, Kitchen Police , by personal experience, and also performed one hour of guard duty during challenging hours. The baseball team was organized, with Captains Purdon and Wood as coaches and Student Paul Nicholson of Germantown, Pa., as team captain. The first game played, with Company B , I2th Infantry, CMTC, resulted in a Company A victory by 6 to O, with Orlovitz twirling masterly ball. Our team composed of Jones, Kiss, Atmore, and O'Brien won honors by taking the S80 yard relay in the field meet at the Camp Stadium on the afternoon of July 12th. Forty of our men went on an excursion to Annapolis, Md., for a boat trip on the Ches- apeake Bay, managed by the recreation ofhcer. All had a most enjoyable time. Company A was repeatedly designated as the best company in the battalion, and third platoon Company An, the best platoon, based on daily performance at drills. Advanced Red Student DeAlton Ridings, of Syracuse, New York, won further honors for himself and for the company, by being selected the best advanced Red Student in Camp. The camp proved a great success. WVe approached the time when we discontinued the pleasant relationships made here with genuine regret and the hope that we may be together again another year. l Pngf Th irly-.rrefn ig, 'Wi COMPANY B , 12th INFANTRY, CMTC Tor Row-Gunthorp, Ccrhart, Calhoun, jr., Atlcc, jr., linwlcr, lfrock, Aspcr, Dunk, Clill, Aitken, Dcflnclt, Conga-r, lfntriken, Brogley, De- Chant, Behrle, jr., livoy, lfarly.

History of Company 12th Infantry The first train to arrive at Camp Meade brought members of our Company to enter upon the strenuous month of training among the sands. VVe were first then, and from that day on we have been first in all activities. Our Company of one hundred and sixty-eight has but twelve with previous military experience. From the time we arrived in camp until Taps sounded at night, we were busy reporting in, taking the physical examina- tion, drawing uniforms and equipment, and getting accustomed to the camp routine. This made our first day a full one. We could hardly believe our eyes when on the morrow we stood Reveille,' and be- held our companions, who but .the day before had reported in civilian clothing, now fully equipped and ready to commence training. It was not long before Sergeant Chileis whistle warbled forth its shrilled notes, which we soon learned to answer. Each and every day has seen us busy mastering elementary military training. In the short space of time we have achieved distinction in many varied activities. We feel proud of being members of the CMTC Camp that received such praise as was bestowed by General Henri Armand Gouraud. When the question of military achieve- ments arises we point to our daily drill with pride. Mentioning non-military activities, We rank first among all CMTC Companies. Have we not a football team, a base ball team, representation in the CMTC Orchestra that is excelled by none? We are not boasting, but are justly proud of our record and take this opportunity to put it in print, so that credit may be given where it is rightly due. We are confident from the scores we are making that Company B will be Well represented in the Camp Perry rifle team. We have indeed been fortunate in receiving assignment to our parent Organization, Company B 12th Infantry. We take this time as approp- riate to praise the efforts of our Company Commander, Captain Edwin E. Aldridge, his Ofiicers and the Enlisted Personnel of his regular command, to whom credit is due for their untiring efforts, ever willing assistance, instruction and leadership, which has resulted in giving us such excellent training along military lines. We leave this Camp with the as- surance that a forward stride has been taken in preparing ourselves to be better citizens. Should the need ever arise we feel that we are better prepared to defend the honor of this glorious nation we all love so well. White Candidate Cto Captain Co.

The Regular Army company was known as the parent company and this organization as Company C 12th Infantry, CMTC. Candidates ofthe Blue and White Courses were given special instructions by the regu- lar commissioned personnel as to their duties as student commissioned and non-commis- sioned officers' of the Company, and each man in the Blue and White Courses acted 'for a period of four days either as a student commissioned odicer or as a student non-commis- sioned officer. The Company was organized into three platoons of six squads each, each platoon being commanded by a student oflicer, under the supervision of one of the Regular Army or Reserve Corps commissioned instructors. Squad leaders were appointed from the men in the Red course, each man acting for a period of four days. WVitl1 such a scheme of in- struction, it was possible to give every man an opportunity to act in some capacity as a leader. Of the one hundred and fifty-three men assigned to the Company, one hundred and thirty were students in High Schools, Preparatory Schools, Colleges and Universities, the remainder were engaged in various enterprises, such as merchants, clerks and mechanics. HOLD We Were Paid BY HARRY DOERSAM On the evening of July 3rd, Sergeant Black announced that all the CMTC candidates who had mileage coming to them would be paid just as soon as the Paymaster arrived-until then they were to hold their pivot. Consternation broke loose. Heart- broken faces began to shine like the full moon. After waiting considerable time, patience seemed not to be a virtue because some of the boys stole back to their bunks for a couple winks of sleep, while others wrote letters. The majority of those remaining in line threw themselves on the ground, some of them falling asleep with mouths open in just the proper manner to make good traps for flies and other creeping things. After two hours' wait, a false alarm was sent out that the Paymaster had arrived-OH BOY-you should have seen the fun. A few fellows jumped out ofthe windows, others flew out the door in order to join a party that was given by the BUT BUTS. This threw the Company into disorder. After being reprimanded, the whole Company after waiting several hours were told that they would be paid the next day july 4th, SOME SPEED. Page Forty-four T H E D E F E N D E R The Rookieis Dream In the wee hours of the morning, when all Camp Meade is enveloped in a cloak of darkness and not a sound disturbs the vast area that teems with activities during the day, there may be heard in the barracks from the lips of a rookie, Wrapped in wholesome sleep after the drill and the firing range, suddenly a sharp command, a drawling request, a chal- lenge. The rookie is dreaming of his day's experience! Attention , cries a prospective oflicer and turns over on his side. The listener who has perhaps gotten up from his bunk to close a window or to pick up the covers that he has kicked to the floor, can almost see the youth in command of his company and smiles at the enthusiasm carried with him to his sleep. Pass the lemonade , another voice sounds out. The candidate is no doubt thinking of the mess room. Don't miss the bullls eye -the young soldier once more imagines himself on the firing range. I'll see you at the 'D' hut visions of seeing a buddy over at the recreation centre. - I bet I can tell you what you dreamed about last night, the listener tells the owner of the voice which he has recognized. How can you tell?,, he asks? 1 heard you talk in your sleep. Gee, I didn't know I did that, I guess l'll have to be careful hereafter. 'L K. P.

Although they have been with us but a short time they have become real soldiers. The Officers of the company are pleased to note they have the best company in Camp Meade barring none. A The Company base-ball team in the first game gave Company '41, H of the I2th Infantry a sound trimming to the tune of IO to 6 and the team expects to carry home with them the championship of the camp. On July IO the volley ball team of Company K Was beaten to a standstill by Com- pany L of the 12th Infantry. We oflier no excusesg Company L has an A-I team. 011 Sunday July Sth, Lieut. Bascom accompanied the boys on the trip to the Naval Academy Where they all enjoyed themselves. . The men did very well on the range the first two days, while firing the Instruction course, and many qualified as. sharpshooters. The man who calls the ice tea sock water displays his limit of sanitation. A candidate was on guard for his first time, not knowing the name of the C. O. of the Company was Sargent. On the Colonel's approaching the rookies post the following took place: Rook- Haltl Who's there? Col.- Colonel Sargent. Rook- Who? ' Col.- Colonel Sargent. Rook- Go on, big boy, you can't kid me, there is no such rank in the army. 73 Kerect. An oHicer's question to a group of CMTC men- What is it you sit on, lie on, and brush your teeth with? A quick reply from rear ranks- A chair, a bed, and a tooth brush. Page Fifly-two THE DEFENDER Arms andthe Boy Three Seasons with the CMTC BY JOHN XVALTER To'rrLE, JR. It was truly bewildering, the little red, white and blue folder which told in such a matter- of-fact way what seemed so incredible-so out of the general run of things. A young dis- ciple of the great Roosevelt, the lad was a warm advocate of Preparedness, but this sudden, unexpected challenge to be a doer of the Word rather took his breath away. There was no doubt in his mind, however, as to the course he should take, and his head whirled with a sober but pleasurable excitement. He had always seen the soldiery through the rainbow mists of romance, darkened somewhat, it must be admitted, by fear of the unknown, but ever haloed by the splendour of its historic achievement. Now he was to sec it face to face, to be part of it-to know it at last as it really was. The thing was almost too strange to be true. But true it Was, and, like all miraculous things that have proved their existence, soon ceased to be wonderful. A few short weeks and he was sitting on the edge of an army cot, gazing in bewilderment at the heap of straps, belts, buckles, garments, and utensils which represented his newly-issued equipment. The month was a hard one-so it seemed. The discipline was strict, but to one who went with tales of the severity of the old war army still ringing in his ears, it seemed mild indeed. Nevertheless it was far from easy to rise at 5:30 to hear the whistle and the raucous 'Houtsidel' before his puttees were wrapped, and to be dismissed from one formation only to turn out, with different equipment, for the next one, three minutes later. An odd pain between the shoulder-blades reminded him that he was standing straight for the first time in his life. The pack was so heavy and such an infernal nuisance to roll and unroll. His rifle insisted upon rubbing the skin off his right shoulder. There was plenty of grumbling on all sides, and some of it was his own. Only a few were men enough to play the game quietly and efficiently, to obey orders without question or hesitation, and to enter fully into the spirit of the new life. And in this point the boy noticed a difference. Those who grumbled at hardship and complained of the quality of the food were children, their minds full of their own petty inconveniences. Those who accepted the military life as they found it and lived it to the full were gentlemen, sports- ineq: He saw that he must choose between them, and the grumbling died away upon ns ips. Thus it was that the boy attained a point of view vastly different from that which had hitherto been his. Accustomed as he had always been to considering his own happiness a matter of vast importance, he began to see things in a new perspective. Everything in his new life was so huge, so complex, so magnificient in its immensity, that he was impressed with a sense of his own insignificance and the relative unimportance of his comfort or dis- comfort. It was with this new understanding that he returned to camp the following summer for the NVhite Course. After having gone through one month of training, the business would IlOt be so hard for him, he thought. But there was a new factor to be reckoned with. As soon as his Company was organized he was made a squad leader, and now he had seven men beside himself to care for, to discipline, and to instruct. He now had eight men in- stead of one to turn out in time for reveille, and for every other formation. Now there were eight rifies, eight uniforms, and eight heads for which he was responsible, where the summer before there had been but one. And there were seven husky lads to keep quiet after 'lights' and while marching at attention. A pleasant task, truly!

L , 12th Infantry, CMTC The long anticipated day arrived, when on Tuesday, June 26, 1923 the candidates for the Red, YVhite, and Blue courses began to pour into Camp Meade, Md., to take up their voluntary four weeks of military training. As the men came into camp under the guidance of ofiicers and men of the Regular Army, they were assigned to organizations, processed that is, given their physical examinations, and issued clothing and equip- ment. By nightfall Company L of the Izth U. S. Infantry was present to nearly its complete quota, the following days seeing a few additional members join the company. When all assigned had joined, the Company's strength numbered 157 men, the majority of whom were enrolled in the Basic Red Course. , On VVednesday, the 27th, assignments within the company were made to squads, members of the White course being assigned as squad leaders, Blues as platoon guides. On this day the greatest part of the Company received their first military instruction,- the School of the Soldier. The Company, commanded by Capt. Thomas L. Lamoreux, 12th Infantry, was organized into three platoons, the first commanded by Capt. Howard F. K. Cahill, Infantry, D. O. L., the second by Capt. Noel H. Petree, Infantry, ORC, with 2nd Lieut. Richard K. Ayer, Inf. ORC assisting, the third by Ist Lieut. Earl Loucks, 12th Infantry. Capt. A. H. Baldwin, Infantry, D. O. L., assumed direction of the adminis- trative and supply details of the CMTC company, ably assisted by Sgt. R. Shea as Ist Sgt., Pvt. Harry Osinga as company clerk, Sgt. Byron McClure in charge of mess, and Mech. George S. Perry in charge of supply. The following were detailed as instructors with the three platoons: Sgt. Lewis H. Nokes, Sgt. Eric C. Jenssen, Sgt. Frank Bones- lawsky, Cpl. Hermel R. Davis, Cpl. Phillip Keefe, Cpl. Walter Accola, Cpl. Abe Polan- sky, Act. Cpl. Cecil R. Trueblood, Pvts. William C. Layton, Oscar Crites, George M. Hensen, John R. Norris, Samuel Alper, William King Ilr., Arthur L. Moore, Harold A. Shutt, William Pennington, Charles L. Devoe, William Davidson, Joseph Miller, and Walter Webber. Great credit is due these men for their faithful and patient perseverance. Following a carefully arranged program, the instruction progressed rapidly, so the company was able to participate in a review on Saturday July 7, before General Fiske, commanding the camp, and General Gouraud of the French Army, the one-armed hero of the Marne and Argonne. Following this review the Company, with the remainder of the units was addressed by these ofiicers, who complimented it on the splendid showing. General Orders No. 18, July 9, 1923, made ofiicial record of this Commendation. This work was carried further on following Saturdays, before the highest ranking officers of the Army and distinguished guests. - Practice on the rifie range opened on Monday, July 9, the company doing very satis- factorily, and several excellent scores being made. The proficient were awarded medals by the Military Training Camps Association of the United States. A call for track and baseball candidates developed some good material in the company. The baseball team got away to a good start with a 5-4 victory over Company I CMTC, while the volley-ball team scored a victory in its initial encounter with Company KN CMTC. Field Day on Thursday, July 12, furnished a test for the Company's mettle. All was not work for the Company. While there were occasional details as kitchen police or room orderlies, there were guard mounts and demonstrations of attack problems put on by the Regular troops, showing the various phases and the auxiliary arms employed, such as artillery, tanks and planes. At these the members of the Company were spectators. There were two trips to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, including a boat ride on July 4 and 8, a trip to Mt. Vernon and 'Washington, D. C., on July 15. Every Wednesday night a dance was held in one of the Y huts, music being furnished by one of the bands in the camp. Then the Company put on an act in the Camp Theater, all talent furnished by the Page Fifty-fix THE DEFENEDER -l- CMTC Companies. Sundays there was Chapel or an instructive patriotic address on citizenship or a similar topic of national importance. IVhen the closing day arrived, everybody felt he had received instruction of inestimable value to the country, as well as to himself and to his particular community, and that his experiences had profited him in every manner. Arms and the Boy fContinued from page fifty-threel sary a stage in his development! In the Red Course he had learned to take orders. In the White Course he was beginning, in a modest way, to give them. No longer did he think of grousing. His seven men were doing that with energy, and it was his duty to keep up their morale. No more did he anxiously reckon his ability to 'stand the gaff., There were seven men to keep in the running, two ranks and four files to keep lined up. In his thoughts that month there was little room for himself. And so in the Blue Course to an even greater extent. A little bewildered at first to find himself in charge of the six squads of a whole platoon, he saw at once the absolute necessity of learning all that he could in the shortest possible time. No chance here for bluff, idleness, or procrastination! VVhat he truly wa: stood out for all to see, and during the third month of his training he was elated or depressed, according to his merits or de- merits. So he was forced onward, and, as he strove to reach the limit of his ability, it widen- ed, like the retreating horizon. NVhether he met with passing failure or temporary success, he was ever conscious of progress, increasing self-confidence, and the quiet joy of learning. This, after all, is the great happiness of youth-to travel through valleys, over streams, up hill-sides, ever and anon- pausing and looking back over the miles left behind, then, turning with the confidence born of previous struggles, to gaze at the Future's wonderland of limitless effort and achievement. How it Really Wasv BY VICTOR S. BARR Company FU, ISt Engineers, CMTC It might be interesting to you to know what I think about my month at Camp lVIeade, now that I have arrived at home. If I were asked what I consider the best way in which an American youth can spend his summer vacation, I would say, Take a course in the CMTC camps, which are being conducted all over the countryf, Last spring I saw the CMTC advertised everywhere, and heard of the wonderful things that the United States government was doing for the younger generation. I have always been interested in military affairs. I attempted to enlist in the Regular Army and was rejected each time. I managed to enlist during the World War, but it was all over before I had a chance to get to the front. But that experience stuck in my mind, and I naturally set out to investigate the CMTC. Before I knew it, I was arriving at Camp Meade in company with 4,500 other men. I didn't know what to expect there. I thought that perhaps a bunch of hard-boiled officers would work me to death under the hot sun. I hoped that they would let me loaf around and do as I pleased all day. Though neither my hopes nor my fears came true, I now con- ider the experience there one of the finest in my life. At first we were all rather confused, homesick and almost ready to wish that we hadn't come. I learned that the training camp groupwas made up of high school students, grad- uates and college men.They were good,lively fellows.As we got to know each other better the homesickness wore off, and we began work before we were aware of it. During the first week we were given instruction in drill by Regular Army officers. At the end of that time it would have been very hard to recognize us as the same fellows CContinued on page sixty-onej Pagz' F iffy-:fwfr , COMPANY A, 34th INFANTRY, CMTC Tor Row-Olsen, W'olfe, Lang, Caldwell, Butchers, Erskine, Barlow, Radel, Klgskowitz, Long, Poland, Amderson, Miller, Broker, Sullivan Loveronc, Trotshock, Lewis, Shermer, Tight, Cramond, Shine, XIcKea.

The first and second days were spent in processing. The Company was filled up to a strength of about 149 students, mostly of Pennsylvania. On the third day the training started. The students were instructed in citizenship, the duties of a sol'dier, taught to respect their superiors and the necessity of discipline. On Sundays they were given the opportunity of attending Church. Those not desiring to attend the morning services were given a patriotic talk by Colonel H. S. Wagner, Com- manding the Regiment. July Ioth, the range practice began. Company A showed wonderful spirit in its work on the range, by leading the regiment, the first day, with an average score of 41.2 per man. Student Albert C. Rohland, of Pittsburgh, Pa. made a possible C50 out of a pos- sible 5oj, the highest individual score of the Company, with several close pursuers. July 12th was the big day, Track Day. Many members of the Company took part in the meet. Although they were out-classed, they expressed their willingness by trying, and gave some of the Lehigh University Students a close run. W'hen practicing kindness to dumb animals don't forget the Top Sergeant. I-saw a fellow the other day, who was so illiterate he thought: That the Mexican Boarder paid rent. That That That That That That the Waslii11gton Capitol is a group of millionaires. Rifie Range is a cook stove. the English Derby was a hat. Rex Beachn was a place to swim. Present Arms was the gift of a rifle. Officers Quarters are two-biti' pieces. W'estern Unioni' was a cowboy organization. the the the Corn Syrupi' would ease his feet. the Pittsburg Post is a place to hitch a horse. That That That Page S ixly THE DEFENDER 1-1 How it Really Was fContinued from page fifty-sevenj who came in a week before. Next followed the specialized engineering training which was the feature of our branch. We built bridges, field fortifications, trenches, dug-outs and all the rest of the construction work that is part of the service of the Engineers. Then came the rifle practice on the range. Some of us dreaded it very much, but the instructors were careful and helpful and we came out without a scratch. I doubt that, if any boyls mother had been right there on the firing point, things would have been done with any more care and precaution than under the direction of the range officers. There wasn't a dull day or even moment from the time we arrived until the camp closed. Athletics were continuous,-boxing, polo, wrestling, swimming, track, baseball, tennis and various kinds of group games. It proved a very good place for an amateur athlete to take his summer training, for we were as hard as nails when we checked out of Camp Meade. I want to say a word about the officers under whose care we were placed. They seldom get the credit which is due them. Many civilians who are not acquainted with the military life, or have had merely a limited chance to observe army routine and discipline, object to the strict rules under which a man in uniform must live. Of course, we all know that discipline is absolutely necessary in any sort of a military organization. But our officers were far from the slave-driving taskmasters that many folks believe them to be. They were not harsh in the exercise of their duty. They always tried to make things as easy for us as they could. They continually planned something new for our instruction, amuse- ment or benefit. Many a night, While walking guard at midnight, I have seen the lights burning in the quarters of some omcer who was spending his energy in planning how the men sleeping in the tents of his company could pass the next day most prohtably and pleasurably. It was a pleasure to work under such officers, because we could easily see that they were working for and with us all. YVe came away from Camp Meade with squarer shoulders, clearer eyes and broader visions of our duty as citizens of our Country. We had a new experience in democracy. NVe met men from everywhere, and discovered that we were all alike in every essential respect. There wasnit a fair-skinned lounge lizard among that bunch that demobilized from Camp Meade. We had learned to keep our muscles hard, our minds quick and alert and our bodies fit to act fast and effectively. Any man who wants to learn something about the CMTC from a fellow who has been there can ASK ME! ' What is so rare as a day in June? A soldier who is glad when 4:30 p. m. comes around on the day they use the target range. Oflicer- Wl1y don't you pick that man up. Can't you see he is drunk? By-standing Private- He can't be, I just saw him move his leg. TRUCK DRIVER'S VERSE. I cranked her up- The gear was in- The World flew up, And hit my chin.

Pa. 34z'h Infaniry and officers and men assigned to last-minute preparations for the bringing its load of noisy, jovial the military machine for the as- similation of recruits began to function. Classification office-company barracks-the medical inspection mill-the Quartermaster's: that was the order, and all day long a seem- ingly endless -stress of men poured through. At last the 163 who were so fortunate as to be assigned to Company B, Thirty-Fourth Infantry reached the long drab buildings which were to be home for one month. Once there, the new soldiers were separated, the quick from the dead: that is, the Blues and the Whites from the Red Course men. But, though the color lines remained sharply drawn, the sergeant's whistle took care that all soon became 'the quick'. Next day platoons appeared like magic, Blue sergeants and NVhite corporals were given charge of them, and immediately the training began. The rest of the week the men were hard at work at massed calisthenics and athletics, the school of the soldier and the school of the squad, and drill in the Manual of Arms. The more strenuous drill periods were interspersed with lectures on hygiene, first aid, military courtesy, and citizenship. John W. Tottle, Jr., Thomas L. Givson, and Henry E. Dahm were the platoon leaders of the first, second, and third platoons respectively. They were assisted by the other Blue Course men, Wilbur Coyle, Jr., James V. Gladden, Custis G. Stephens, and Emory C. Munzner, all of whom ranked as sergeants. Paul E. Ucker, who was rated as the best Blue after the first week, was made first sergeant. The Whites did very good work as squad leaders. Chief among them was George S. Saville of the First Regiment, Maryland National Guard, who received the double honor of having his squad named as the best in the Company, and himself as the best White. At the same time the names of Robert R. Nicolls and James F. Adams were posted as those of the best Basic Red and the best Advanced Red, respectively, Nicolls being declared the best Basic Red in the Camp. On the first Saturday in camp the CMTC men were shown 'just how it's done' by the ROTC men and the Regulars who passed in review before General Fiske, and the fol- lowing Saturday they had an opportunity to do it themselves under the critical eye of no less distinguished a visitor than General Henri Armand Geraud of France. The next week brought preliminary instruction in rifie marksmanship, and the next, real firing on the range. The school of the squad made way for the school of the section, which in turn gave place to the school of the platoon. But there was plenty of recreation as well as plenty of work. Passesout of camp were issued each Saturday afternoon and each Sunday after eight A. M. to those who merited them. The several excursions that had been planned turned out to be great successes, and the glorious Fourth was rendered yet more glorious by an all-day holiday and a trip to Annapolis. At Captain Laueris instructions, an orchestra was picked from the profuse talent of the Company, with Private Robert C. Pippin as director. The musicians were Richard E. Coulter, Donald Shaffer, Percy R. Webster, Kenneth A. Smith, Gerard Horigan, Howard W. Gilbert, William N. Brashears, and Alfred A. Leeding. At the stunt night held on Tues- day July I7, Company B showed the camp what could be done by a real live outfit. Pvt. Rosenthal danced and the members of the orchestra put on a few solos. Then, too, there were athletics. At twelve o'clock, July Ilth, the Company Com- Pagr Sixty-four Wvy. i V . THE DEFENDER --T' mander, Captain McCutcheon, called for volunteers for a baseball nine to play Company Af Twelfth Infantry, that very afternoon. Private Carter M. Perkins was appointed captain, and the line-up was as follows: Nicolls and Britton, pitching, Custard, catching, Amsler, short-stop, Ranking, first base, Chambers, second base, Perkins, third base, and Hanst, Cress and Zimmerman in the field. In spite of the team's lack of preparation, it won the game with a score of seven to three. At the field meet held the next day the Com- pany won third place in the S80 Relay, in which Dugan, Conwell, Keane, Custard, Hanst, and Brenson ran. Conwell also secured third place in the 440. The remembrance of the sport, the gayety, and the goodfellowship of the old days in the CMTC will bring us back again, next summer, to carry on in other positions and in other outfits the game we learned in Company Bi' of the 34th Infantry.

Arriving at the Loop Station of the electric railway from Baltimore, all candidates were assigned to regiments and were transported in large trucks to their regimental head- quarters, where they were further assigned to companies, in the above assignments, how- ever, candidates from the same geographical area were kept together as much as possible. They were then taken to the Quartermaster warehouse, where they were examined, phy- sically, and furnished with complete uniforms. From there, the students were taken to their companies, issued equipment and assigned to squads. Not a few were found wanting and fell by the wayside during the first week's training. Some attributed their inability to continue their training because of physical disablementsg others because of mental inadaptability. But by the end of the first half of the period, the delinquents were pretty well sifted out and those retained had become accustomed to the rather novel environment. In the beginning it was stated that C Company differed but little from the other Infantry organizations in the examinations and equipment of its members, but there the similarity ended. This Company was repeatedly cited in Camp Orders as the best drilled unit and as having the most conspicuously clean quarters in camp. The record of its work on the rifie range is evidence of the training in this respect. The Third Platoon, under the leadership of Lieut. Morrison, deserves special mention and was so recognized by Camp Headquarters. In conclusion, it is only just and proper that the credit for the splendid training of this Company should be given to those who were mainly responsible for it. Captain A. K. Rupert ably assisted by his Lieutenants MeDonnogh, Reed, Morrison, McPherson and Ist Sgt. A. Kosieki worked untiringly to the end that the members of C , Company CMTC should receive the maximum advantage of their brief training. Captain P. D. Hill, Company Supply and Mess Officer, performed his duties to the eminent satisfaction of all concerned. THE CREAM OF C-34. FOUND-Goofy McCullar out of bed. PERSONAL-Leon Riley receives letters from a certain young dame by the yard. Just before Camp closed, he received one over 60 inches long. STORES-The man behind the Gun. NOTICE-The result ofthe bunk upsetting in the Third Platoon was quite disagree- able for the innocent Hitch and Carter. INTERESTING-Why Baley always dreams of Elephants. WANTED-To know why the Third Platoon Organization is called the Four Horse- men when there are more members. NICKNAMED- God's gift to the athletic worldf' Do you know the reason. Ask Hurcelese he can tell you. REQUEST-The following is the request of Capt. Rupbart made at the last Retreat: Please do not kill Helligas before he finishes making out the discharges. I think all know who the conspirators were. THE FINAL RESULT After a month of the best training our officers could offer us, we finally marched out to hill No. 60 to have our final Review. At last it was completed and all assembled to hear the final results of all the competitive drills. The Infantry competitions were beginning to be read. At last came the determining of the best company. And C-34 was the lucky one. No, they were not the lucky one, they deserved it. Everybody knows about the slip with Capt. Rupbarts name signed to it. Boys, we surely got what we went after. Pagr Sixly-fighl ---- THE DEFENDER -il' What a Month at Meade Didfor Me BY H. HURN DILLER Company I, 12th Infantry, CMTC The month at Camp Meade did me more good than any month that I ever spent, yes, it did me more good than any year I ever spent at any other place. At this camp we had all the advantages of learning how to shoot, how to drill, how to take and give instructions, in other words, how to play the game fairly and treat others as though they were ourselves. We were intended to learn the things which I mentioned, but I learned a great deal along other lines. My buddy was a college graduate and wished to learn all he could. We took advantage of our Saturday afternoons and Sundays, and as a result learned a great deal from the cities near the camp. All told, we visited Washington eight times, Baltimore six times, and Annapolis once. Arlington, Alexandria, Mt. Vernon, Tolchester Beach, Bladensburg and the great race track at Laurel were other places of interest that we visited. NVe studied from a historical standpoint the buildings, Art Galleries and Mus- eums which were found in these various cities. It really isnlt remarkable that we visited all these places, but it is remarkable when you know how we got around. I spent only 52.42 carfare while I was attending camp. All thanks to the motorists who so kindly picked us up after they heard the familiar sentence, Give us a lift. On two dollars and forty-two cents I traveled over eight hundred miles and visited about nine cities of historical interest. I think it would be very proper if you would dedicate one page of the Annual to the motorists who gave the fellows lifts, because at least one-half of the fellows traveled over the country in this manner. I earned something at camp that I am very proud of, something that I am more proud of than any other thing I ever owned. That is a sharpshooters medal. If I learned nothing but how to shoot, I would consider the month well spent, and would surely go back here- after to continue my work. I am sure that the things which I learned at camp this summer will not be used only in a selfish way. After I go back to the small town where I teach I expect to organize an 'Army of Cadets' and hope through that means to teach my children the wonderful lessons which were taught to me this summer at Camp Meade. YVe ended up our month's training by putting the principles of marching which we had learned into practical use. We hiked home, approximately I25 miles. No, I canit say we hiked home, but we started to hike when we were picked up by fourteen autos, each giving us a life of five to ten miles. All thanks again to the motorists. P. S. We saved our carfare. I hope to see everyone back in the same place next year when I come back to continue my work.

SMITH Company EQ, 34th Infantry The fiery sun was beaming brightly on the sandy plains of Anne Arundel County, one of Maryland's most famous sections, on a clear morning in June when three thousand sturdy young sons of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania stepped from the score of in- coming electric cars to take their place in the khaki-clad ranks of Uncle Sam's Army. They were not all rookies , some had already finished one or even two months of former service, but for the most part they were new, green, untrained, unsophisticated, and sadly deficient in the elements of military practice. But a great writer has said that we live ever to learn, and it was for that one purpose that they came-to learn how to be soldiers and men of whom America could be proud of and upon whom she could depend when she needed aid in keeping the world safe for democracy. ' Since that twenty-sixth day of June four weeks of steady, earnest toil-hard some- times, and to us at times fierce, tough, awful, murderous, inconsiderate, inhuman, unbear- able, etc., etc., but, after all, don't we find it that way all through life, only to realize after every task is finished it wasn't nearly so difficult as we imagined, and the harder the toil the sweeter the rest. What one of us is not glad that he used this opportunity to better himself physically, mentally and morally under training that came as a result of years of skill and experience? What one of us is not glad that he wore that worthy khaki uniform, that he trudged through' the sand, drilled, obeyed orders, K. P.'d,stood guard, and gave his best to the cause for which America stands? Labor omnia vincit, and it has conquered many things for us. YVe know how to endure hardships, be ready for whatever may turn up, handle a rifle as easily as though it were a broom-stick, aim, fire, hit Cnot forgetting to squeeze the triggeri, stand at atten- tion with the mosquitoes ticklingus, take a joke, be a sport, respect authority, and bread without butter. Of course, we have learned lots of other things, but modesty forbids more elaboration. Each one of us feels better for having been here, and many of us will be back next year as advanced reds, whites, and blues. VVe have met a fine bunch of fellows, and have made good friends. Most of us boast of the glories of Old Dominion, but Louie of Baltimore and Caruso,' of Philadelphia have made their home towns famous as well. And prob- ably most of us will go back to our home towns convinced that we have made Camp Meade famous, also,-at least we may think so. So may our ofiicers. To those who by their excellent direction and command have instructed us so thor- oughly by their painstaking care and correcting our numerous mistakes,we, ow: our highest gratitude. , COMPANY E SPIRIT A great athletic coach once said that if a team has fight and spirit it can not lose. This seems to be impressed upon the members of Company E . The spirit was shown when thirty-five candidates answered the call for baseball to defend the laurels of their Company. They have shown their fighting spirit on the diamond where so far to date, the team has not lost a game. The latest and greatest achievement so far, was the defeat of Company C , after a battle replete with thrills, by the score of eight to seven. In the track meet which was Won by the Thirty-Fourth, the same fiery spirit was shown. lVIa-ny of the men of the Company impressed with this spirit were awarded places in the various events. With thisisame spirit and fight we not only hope to defeat everything in sight, but to defeat all competitors so decisively that the name of Company E will be blazened forth in gold letters in the Camp history for this season. .

It contained one hundred and forty Virginia and Pennsylvania boys. The Company was divided into three platoons containing six squads each. The commanders of the Company were: William L. Coulter, Captain, Ist Lieutenant Robert M. Hughes, Commander of the Third Platoon. The first day the men were issued full equipment, and the second day they were organ- ized and active drilling began at once. The blouse recruits were at once put into the hot sands to do squads right. Soon the spirit of Mary won't you have the next dance with me was replaced with the spirit of the hated command, snap into it. In spite of the fact that the reminiscence of that femme and that canoe made the commands somewhat ineffective, the progress towards becoming soldiers was remarkably rapid. The men of Company F were divided into four classes according to the number of years they had been there, or according to the amount of military training they had before coming to camp. The raw recruits were known as the Reds,',the second year men or those that had some training were known as the Advance Redsf' The next order were the Whites , and finally the last year men, which were known as Blues.f' The Blues were made assistant platoon leaders, the Whites were made platoon guides, and the Ad- vanced Reds were made squad leaders. In many instances the Whites were made squad leaders because there were I1Ot enough advanced Reds to distribute one to each squad. The instructions of the different classes was as follows: for the Blues,-trench Warfare, scouting and patrolling, signal communication, field fortifications, tent pitching, infantry combat, and musketryg for the Whites,-map sketching, infantry combat, scouting and patrolling, signal communication, and military correspondence, for the advanced Reds,- the school of the soldier, the school of the squad, the school of the platoon, section drill, the manual of arms, scouting and patrolling, bayonet drill, and the use of the hand grenades, the Basic Reds had chiefiy close order drill and muskctry. All the classes were assembled for parades, some close order drill, and instructions in special subjects, such as citizenship and hygiene. The company was demobilized on July 25, IQ23. The men of Company F will always count it a privilege to say that they were in this organization. These happy associa- tions will not be forgotten while memory lasts. To be counted as once a part of the famous Thirty-fourth is to be listed among the fortunate. To be commanded by such men is to be blest. America lives in the hearts of the men of Company F , Page Sermzty-:1'x THE DEFENDER f . . .6 ' V -pf N H L, f- 4 f, .1 , -y I wa, f 3. iw. ' ,A 4 , . rv-.1 . 'ixzh ' M 4'gJ Ax' .

NVith the opening of Camp, June 26th, Company G was among the earliest to become completely organized, and by the end of the first week all were ready to start train- ing. After receiving equipment and uniforms all were assigned to barracks, platoons and squads. The first week was entirely taken up with squad drill, setting-up exercises and athletic games. In athletics, G Company won the championship of the entire Camp. At the first track meet, Thursday, July 12th, Company GU came out on top with a total score of 45 points, the Engineers taking second place with 21, points. Corporal Judd of the third platoon was the individual star, earning I9 points for the company and the regiment. On Wednesday, July 18th a meet was held between the ROTC and the CMTC. The final score was 61 to SI in favor of the ROTC. Cor- poral Judd and our Company scored for the CMTC and the 34th. Judd was responsible for I6 points. Other men who worked for the Company were Foreman, Balph, Bentley, Darragh, Crane, and Ken- nedy. To these men belongs the credit for putting Company G on the athletic map. i' Several rather accomplished musicians were in the Company, - and lack of time alone prevented their displaying their talent in public. As it was, all enjoyed many evenings in barracks, entertained by our players. Saxophones, violins, cornets were included in our noise-making paraphernalia. bn? X Y, IM As time at Camp shortened to two weeks, we began to look for- ward to the promised work on the rifle range. Almost all expectations J? iii iiaiai -' 'IMP' sl, L A mwxffl xd lmgfixxf were realized.

The Camp opened on June 26 with one of the finest groups of young men that ever attended such a camp. Among the group were men who had attended Camp Meade the preceding year, and their help to the rookies was, and as most of them are with us yet, is, inestimable. Next year they will be missed as young kittens miss their mother, when lost. Our course, last year was mostly on duties and requirements of the Engineers. The instruction given us at that camp was excellent, due to the instructors complete knowledge of engineering requirements. Our work this year is a repetition of the first, but on a more advanced scale. A remarkable feature is the ability of our present instructors to grasp the reins and continue to tutor a group of young men, eager to continue and expand with so much speed. In these few lines we wish to say that we have enjoyed much and profited greatly in virtue during our short but wonderful course at this camp, and we wish to take this opportunity to thank our ofiicers for :he help and instruction they so kindly extended to us. i1...Ti-....,l A SUGGESTION The government has overlooked one thing. All bunks should have been furnished with locks as they frequently change their position, in the barracks. Officer- Aim at the stars and you may reach a telegraph pole, but aim at a tele- graph pole and- l Candidate- You may see stars. The canned cream of the army-The Engineers. Famous pastime of the Engineers-Pitching horseshoes and digging ditches. If your gun is missing at inspection you can be sure that the borrower did not have a clean gun. Officer- Don't you know how to use a razor. Private- Yes, sir. Officer- Then use one uickf' 9 7 Ofiicer Cteachingj- What makes you fellows in the back sneeze so much? Private- Pepper.

I was aboutlto FREY some eggs when Prof. BURGUR LEDERBUR WEISGERBER explained the EPSTEIN theory to me.

KELLY' Troop HG, 3rd Cavalry, CMTC Oh yes, the life of the CMTC trooper is quite the berries, as John says. The Infantry says we're the walking cavalry, but then they haven't got the low down on this outfit. Just speaking confidentially, allow me to tell you that three-fourths of the Infantrymen C?D applied for the troop but were rejected. Seems like a clear case of sour grapes, doesnit it? Brethren this is some elite aggregation! I'll leave it to you, boys. If you had ninety-seven good men and true with the real spirit of the CMTC in every man, together with the best horsemen that Uncle Sam boasted and had this unit under the finest officers and whitest gentlemen in the U. S. A. wouldnit you feel proud? We do. And talk about your good nature. Why mates, we have a fellow in our troop, Spencer by name, who came back to barracks one night to find that a fox terrior was occupying his bunk. Did he lay violent hands on the poor pup and throw him bodily out of the win- dow? Oh no, this is Troop HG . Spence is so good hearted that he wanted to sleep on the fioor and let the dog have the bed. Oh, this Spencer boy is there with the goods. The troop was engaged in equitation and during the rest period this promising young man allowed his mount to wander. When asked for an explanation by the Captain, young brilliance replied, Well, Captain I thought the horse knew where he wanted to go better than I did. Gentlemen there's the kind of man you want for president of this noble re- public. Did you ever hear of Bathless? His name is John Rothwell and he has served in the ISC and 17th cavalry divisions. He is rated as one of the finest and funniest fellows in the troop. Clever is his middle name, he can peg a pair of pants as nicely as any tailor. How did he come to be called Bathless, you ask? Well the fellows began to notice that he took at least three and sometimes as many as six baths a day. John was quite a puzzled boy when it came to answering the first question, the one about one's family being prominent, socially. He claimed that his father was a cop and that entitled him to social prominence at least as far as New York was concerned. He's still puzzled. And to come to the only Regular Army Lieutenant in the camp who has the distinction of being a GENERAL in the Mexican Army. He is Lieutenant Zalonis and he has seen extensive service down on the border playing cards with the regulars and keeping Mexico out of the League of Nations. Quite a programme, eh? He is a fiuent linguist, a good athlete and a fine chap so long as no one tries to gold brick him. We are blessed with some good, sterling baseball players though they do not have to drill. Fair enough, we claim. There used to be some red hot volley-ball games around here but we ran out of opposition. Yea, it became real tiresome beating the Engineers every night by such scores as 5 to og but they turned out to be good sports and we like them quite well now. It's tough that they are not in the Cavalry. We admit failure only in one thing. Gather around and we'll unburden our troubled minds about this momentous question. How did our seventy-cents for three meals per day disappear? Answer that and your fortune is made. Don't worryg the cooks didn't get all of it. Gentlemen, there's your chance to make a name for yourself which will stand as long as CMTC students wear black ties. Say, children, we're quite the horse's Withers when it comes to ladies men, why even now we have four happily married men and one more who is to be clinched up as soon as camp is over. Did he come here to practise up for the rough and happy days ahead? It seems, at the least, reasonable. Every outfit can't boast of that. Now to come to the only Irishman in the U. S. A. who was born in Brightwood, D. C. He is our regular army top-kick and to hear him talk you'd be willing to bet your entire Page Ninrty --- THE DEFENDER -1 transportation allowance that he came from County Mayo, Ireland. His name is Patrick Patton. Another fellow you never met. He is always ready to wish the top of the morning to the boys, and it was with extreme regret that we left him. Two of the fellows went down to Sherwood Forest, a popular resort, for a good time. They were Messers Hauser and Fields. Hauser dolls up in one of the regular's good uniforms and friend Fields primps up in his own. Here is where the fun began. Hauser's uniform was so tight that he could bend only with difficulty and before a bevy of maidens it be- hooved him to remove his spurs. Not being able to stoop, he solicited Fields, aid. The latter acquiesced and removed the former's shoe decorations. The girls got the idea ,that Mr. Fields was the orderly for Mr. Hauser, and the ladies haven't gotten over it yet. Laugh that off. No camp is complete without its pugilists, and the Cavalry outfit is no exception in that particular line. Introducing Polinchunk and Shambaugh, two very aggressive boys from the Hard coal regions. Polinchunk got real playful on the excursion to Annapolis on July Sth. He started to throw four or five Lieutenants overboard. Just a whim of his. In awarding the Czar Nicholas decorations for laziness we call your attention to the fact that both boys came from Washington, the city beautiful. Hamilton Pike boasts that he is the cleverest guy in camp when it comes to dodging reveille and Mickey Loftus gets the medal for never attending retreat. They are the original Goldbrickers. Need- less to say both fellows are Irish. , , Speaking of civilians from the city of Washington, we might here say that there are twenty-seven in the troop this year compared with two last summer. As far as sports were concerned, the troop tennis team met and vanquished the best the other outfits had to offer. It was composed of Baker, Auld, Herman and Jack Kelly, Captain. Certainly this must, in some measure make up for our defeats in the stadium. We come at last to the oHicers. As has been said there are no finer men to be found in the army of Uncle Sam than these good gentlemen. Even if Captain Minick did double- time us right often. We like him immensely. Sh! It has been whispered that this good looking gentleman Cyea, Cap. Minickj has to take a bodyguard when he goes to town to keep the girls from rushing him. Boys he's right there with the looks and a perfect thirty-six.', Then there's the learned Captain Merrill, who has already endeared himself to the boys by his big-heartedness and ability. He knows as much if not more than Socrates ever did know. And last and finest of all our beloved troop commander, Captain N. Caperton, who in our eyes embodies all that is best in an ofiicer and a thoro gentleman. Most of us are ambitious to become officers in the reserves or regulars and all of us will try to be men like him. Ofiicer or man he is a real white man in our eyes. We will be glad to count him a friend. Yea, all of our ofiicers are the best in the U. S. A. .ix ,i 945.1 yi I .ills if 'e i . O 7, W -LF A tif 'Pagr N 1'm'ty-om' '. '4f- . 'Xa THE DEFENDER History of Troop Gu, 3rd Cavalry BY JOHN S. NESBITT Crowded trains, excessive heat, and much excitement marked the opening of the CM- TC at Camp Meade. After a short preliminary physical examination, the candidates were separated into the groups of their respective organizations, and taken by trucks to their barracks. Upon approaching their homes for a month some of the fellows Cmeaning first year menj were not impressed any too favorably, but on getting inside, new acquaintances were not only made, but many old friendships were renewed. It was not until the end of the afternoon that the final physical examinations were completed, and the uniforms issued. The following day real work began. The troop was divided into squads and squad drill commenced. The two morning rest periods were taken up with lecturesg one on Citizen- ship and the other on Hygiene. In the afternoon our instruction included, saddling, bridling, and grooming. This was when the fun began and was continued, in more ways than one. The fellows had been used to viewing horses from a distance but this came to a show- down when it became necessary for them to walk between, behind, and around the horses on the picket line. i Thursday, June 28, 1923, they rode for the first time. Many of the whites who had been in the air-service last year, felt very much at home on finding themselves up in the air. Our training in equitation continued for about two weeks. The periods of riding being divided by lectures on the care of horses and classes in map reading. The nomenclature and use of machine guns and pistols were the next subject of study. The Troop was instructed in this work by expert machine gunners of the Infantry. After several days of this work, they were taken to the machine gun range for target practice. This range work was enjoyed very much because after the long march, they could rest until their turn at the guns. The third day on the range ended with a three or four mile hike fit seemed like tenj and the way they dug in at supper must have been very gratifying to the cooks. The parade in Baltimore is said to have been the best parade there since the return of our men from overseas. A thing which speaks more eloquently than words of the high esteem in which the men of G', Troop hold the CMTC is the fact that about fifteen have applied to go to Camp Dix for a second month of training in August. Page Ninety-two THE DEFENDER Boots and Saddlesv We have this rhyme that you may read Of the Cavalry that was at Camp Meade. Read it closely and then you will say That the Cavalry had a snappy outlayg And sorta find yourself with the hunch That they were all a pretty good bunchg If they did have dirt behind their ears, And a little bowlegged, it often appears. That's from being so much in the saddle, CThey get like a duck, they have to waddlej. They get bowed from eight to twelve a. m., After dinner we walk to straighten them VVhew. That certainly was an awful pill. Be a doughboy, 'twas hard to swaller, And loudly in protest did we holler. But at last each was given an ancient plug, CYou shoulda seen the smile come over each mugj. But,-Alas. Fate had more gloom in store, It was so hard to ride and not get sore. The first few days were blissful and sweet, And then came the blisters, so dainty CU and neat C Some of the boys made a pitiful sight, As if theyid been riding canned dynamite, And the ponies were lively, decidedly so, f,Twas nothing to see a guy heavenward gojg And sorrowful to see how the numerous joys Of sitting down were denied the boys. ' And then every day at eleven-thirty The horses and saddles get so all-fired dirty, We were each allowed a brush and a comb, And given the command, Commence to groomf' But not until the nags had rolled in the sand, And had to be polished almost by hand. If you worked real hard and were first to be through, You were given an honor, you had to shine two. .J. VVhen through playing chambermaid we picked up our packs Saddles, and bridles, and hit for the barracks. Cleaned 'em with soap and made 'em look nifty, Then home for chow at eleven-fifty. The French-fried murphies, swimmin in grease, Liver and onions and a hunk of cheese, Delicious slum gullion, sprinkled with rice, And always iced tea, Cbut where was the ice?l There was potato salad and a slice of balony, KNO doubt the remains of some poor pony. But when you were starved you never were able To imagine the meat had come from the stable. Who knows how many that died of the colic Later were mixed with onions and garlic?j Most of them kicked and called it slop, At the same time they filled themselves to the top.

Most important of these, we all are sure, Was the parade we had in Baltimore. But it's getting late, 1,ll have to close, And you're getting weary, I suppose. But with all the bum chow and the work that we had, W'e want you to know that it wasn't so bad, In fact it was good, if we did kick a lot, CAll of the kicking was nothing but rotj, And we know that our troop was as good as the best, That it easily surpassed most of the restg From knocking the Cavalry we strictly disdain, And highly resolve to come back again.

This is true, in a very marked sense, of Battery B , Artillery Unit, CMTC, Camp Meade, Md. which has, on several occasions, been cited as the outstanding organization of this year's CMTC, both in regard to cleanliness of quarters and general appearance of the men. The splendid spirit on the part of the entire personnel of this unit is totally responsible for this enviable record and every effort is being put forth to maintain this highly commendable feeling of unity. The men who form the body of this battery have given forth much promise in the way of admirable manly qualities, red-blooded patriotism and true American Citizenship. Many of the last year's men returned this year, at a sacrifice of personal business and recreation in order to bring with them some other fellows, to whom the venture was ab- solutely new and strange, and who, no doubt, would not be here now had not a more ex- perienced guiding hand directed the way. As a general rule, the boys this year are from families locally well known, Whose fathers are industrial engineers, bankers, architects, mercantile manufacturers, coal operators, doctors, lawyers and Army Officers. The very great majority are students ranging anywhere from high school sophomores to college freshmen, and including many embryo doctors, lawyers, authors, scientists and professional musicians. In rare instances have some ofthe men graduated from high school or its pre- paratory equivalent, and are now engaged in the work of selling, farming and mechanics. Nlention deserves to be made also of the excellent character of the young men who comprise this unit, from the standpoint of moral and spiritual as well as physical. Not possessing, as many of the other organizations of the CMTC, a profusion of physically large men, nor excelling in athletics to any great degree as they have wished, the boys have retaliated equally, however, in the general neatness of appearance and military bearing which they have attained. The foregoing, on the other hand, does not mean, that, athletically speaking, Battery B is a weakling, but, on the contrary, has made, with the limited number of experienced men available, a very creditable showing in all the major sports. The one athletic event in which this outfit seems to have a surplus of promising men is swimming. Owing to the distance from barracks to swimming pool, however, and to the comparatively very limited time assigned to such sports, it was not possible to organize and suH:1ciently train the high class swimming teams, of which Battery B under more favorable circumstances, surely would have been capable. The vast majority of the men comprising the battery are Pennsylvanians, coming from every section of that state, the other few exceptions being from the states of Virginia and Maryland. The commendable traits and characters illustrated by the men in question certainly speaks Well for the future welfare of the states. Judging from the splendid spirit and sportsmanship exhibited by these men, both in work and play, it may be said that they comprise a body which any state or country might be duly proud to own as future fashioners of its destinies. l .,.-......, .J Pagr Om' llumlrrd -1,- THE DEFENDER Indoor Sports in Battery B BY H. B. PIPER Who has the temerity to proclaim the army to be uncultured? Let him go to B Battery barracks if he would have this slanderous statement refuted. Once there, he has but to enter the Blue', room on the First floor after lights out, and, guided by the fiery stars of cigarettes and the lurid volcanic glow of pipes, he will find himself at the bunk in the northeast corner. A sound of voices rises out of the smoke-clouded darkness. NVell, then, you disbelieve in the probability of miracles? Do you actually know what a miracle is? A pause, during which a pipe flares up, dies out, and a cloud of smoke floats across the beam of light that falls thru, the open hall door. Certainly. A miracle is a contravention of natural law brought to pass by some intel- ligent being. 'WVell, then, isn't God capable of doing that?H Can even God make two parallel lines meet?', may be the rejoinder. 'Silencel' Another argumentative gun has been silenced. Then again, theology may be permitted to rest while the conflict rages over some deep and weighty point of a scientific or semi-scientific nature. Is heredity stronger than pre- natal influence or is the reverse true? Did the prehistoric civilization of Atlantis ever exist? Is Mars inhabited, and if so, by what kind of inhabitants? Can a man be hypnotized' against his will? Is Coni a prophet or a fake? Such are the questions which are disposed of by the Corner-Bunk Society of Scientific, Metapliysical and Philosophical Research. But the course of scientific inquiry, like true love, is not the smoothest. Sometimes the Red and White barbarians upstairs interrupt these flows of reason by hammering upon the floor, pouring water down the flue, and other similar playful actions. Once in a While, some savage Blue having worked harder than the others, will sound off with a Wl1at inell has all that got to do with the Field Artillery? Shut up and go to sleepin Sometimes, even, the top-kick, that arch-enemy of progress, will peer in the door, and with a few pointed remarks and threats will cause a battery salavo of cigarette butts to sail out the window, and send these truth dclvers scuttling back to the recesses of their bunks. It is rumored that next year the government will issue hornrimmed spectacles equipped with a mill scale for estimating the height of a contravential opponent's brow. .lg A L Q' -- 7-f-v- 4 ' Page' One llundrfd Om' 0031 IIJJIJIHLII -7160 Jjllrl R BATTERY Cf FIELD ARTILLERY, CMTC TOP Row-Nolan, Trenor, McGee, Connolly, Nice, Collins, Martino, Chinton, Arthur, Howard.

C., Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. The tom-tom summoned the 'Cakies' to Camp Meade, Md., for the purpose of learning how to work. Inward, ever inward the hordes of tea-hounds converged on the great training center. A few of the invading tribes were really interested in conquering the handicap of soft muscles and weak stomachs which Old Man WVinter had clapped upon them. These am- bitious beings joined the 6th Field Artillery, while those who regarded the camp very seriously joined CH Battery. They didnit exactly join Cn Battery but the oflicers picked out the best candidates and put them in C Battery. This organization is the proudest of a proud regiment. The gun that fired the dnt :hot for Am.eriea in the Great War 1.5 itil! in the Battery. The Battery Standard bear: the legend 'Fiuvt Shot., As the mob of cackling aspirants for military learning left the train shed, they were assigned to their different units. Battery CU rode to their quarters in an army truck. Bunks were assigned and the Battery then walked over the whole camp, getting inoculated and drawing uniforms. We got the swellest fits in uniforms-Oh yes! Swell enough to make the Sphinx throw a fit. After the pleasing inoculation experience, etc., camp life began in earnest. The tea- hounds hit an obstacle the very first morning in camp-when first call was sounded. An hour's drilling on the sand was found to be a very nice cure for 'reveille-dodging'. fMega- phone' Carmick is our star in reveille-dodgingi. There was no sleep in town-the first night or any other night, as far as that goes,- especially with Do-Do Quinn and Buster Keaton arguing about Sunday night dates, etc. The second floor kept the whole regular army busy every night. To Lieutenant WVicks the fellows are very grateful for graduating them from the Black and Blue course in Equita- tion and Horsemanship. To the Reserve Officers we are grateful for teaching us 'pclateau zero, drum one hundred'. Last, but not least comes Ca tain Lewis, for whom the ellows did their darndest, digging in with a fight when one foot ePduldn't move in front of the other. To our teaching staff in general we are grateful, no one had the qualities the other had. The good nature of one was tempered by the strictness of another and altogether we leave the camp covered with a coat of the tan of experience-prepared and applied by our best riends, the Officers.

In addition to these, the National Guard Companies of Pennsylvania and Virginia C2Sth and 29th respectivelyj, undergo technical training at the school for two weeks during the summer. This information on the subject of tanks is disseminated throughout the 3rd Corps Area. Troops in other corps Areas are enabled to receive instruction through the medium of the Corps Area Training Platoons or Divisional Tank Companies. There is, besides, a Provisional Tank Battalion at the Infantry School. No attempt is made at any of these points to exalt the tanks at the expense of other weapons, but, as they will always operate in close conjunction with other troops, especially the Infantry, every effort is exerted to familiarize the latter with their characteristics and capabilities. A word as to athletics. All officers and enlisted men are required tolbe at the top notch of physical condition. For such officers as are not members of one athletic team or another, there is gymnasium work, swimming, tennis, volley ball and indoor baseball fin winterj. The same facilities, with the exception of tennis, are available to the enlisted man. He has, in addition, hshing, hunting Colf the reservationj and, in summer,week- end camping trips. The Tanks have won the 3rd Corps Area Football Championship for the past three years, the Track Championship for the past two, and the northern half of the 3rd Corps Area Baseball championship last year. From this, one can see the interest taken in sport. Given a suitable athletic field, as seems probable in due course of time, events of every nature can be better staged, and a greater number of spectators accommodated. The above description is necessarily brief, but should present some idea of what the Tank School is and what it does. It is the nucleus of all present and future tank develop- ments in this country, and will if occasion arises, provide the personnel whereby we shall train future wartime tank units. The tank is a weapon that has come to stay, the Tank School endeavors to show how to improve and utilize it to the greatest advantage, so that we may remain in this respect abreast of the inventions of the best prepared nations.

STRONG Recreation Ofiicer In order to properly conduct the recreational activities for the CMTC boys at Camp Meade, the following officers were grouped in one building located in the civic center of the Camp: Recreation Officer, Athletic Ofiicer, Publicity OHicer, Senior Chaplain, Editor of the Camp Annual, Information Bureau, Receiving desk for telegrams and the Ofiicial Camp Photographer. The recreational features, other than athletics, consisted of the following: one chief hostess house equipped for taking care of thirty transient guests and four branch hostess houses located in areas occupied by the CMTC students. At the chief hostess house there was a tea room and at all the branch hostess houses there were pianos, phonographs, reading material, writing desks, chairs and pool tables. One of the most popular Recreational Features at the Camp was the War Department Theatre which daily gave two motion picture showings of the best and latest film productions on the market. The specially conducted week-end excursion trips to Annapolis and the U. S.Naval Academy, Md., Claiborne, Md., Mt. Vernon, Va., Washington, D. C. and Baltimore, Md. proved to be favorite attractions and most of the students availed themselves of the splendid opportunities presented for seeing the historical and other places of interest. It is believed that no other Camp in the United States has so many noteworthy historical places of interest within striking distance. . Two dances were given in the large Gymnasium for the CMTC Students. Girls from Baltimore and Washington by their presence made these events most interesting. A Library containing 20,000 volumes and also current magazines and daily news- papers from all sections of the country was operated for the benefit of the Students as well as the Regular Soldiers. In order to place up-to-the-minute information concerning Recreational Activities before the CMTC Students and others, A Daily Dope Sheet was issued. On this sheet information was given concerning the following: THEATRE PROGRAMS WEEK-END TRIPS DANCES BASEBALL SCHEDULES AND SCORES RELIGIOUS SERVICES TRACK AND FIELD MEETS I OTHER MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS or INTEREST A 24 hour per day service Information Bureau was established in the ofiice of the Recreation Oiiice. This Information Bureau was equipped to give information concerning the location and organization of individual Students, Daily Training Schedules, Athletic Schedules, Local Railway Connections and other general information. There were seven Chaplains detailed at Camp Meade for this summer training season. They represented various denominations. In addition to their ordinary duty of administer- ing to the religious needs of the camp personnel, the Chaplains conducted song fests, where all the students gathered together, and visited the Hospital and the Guard House daily. They also helped greatly with the recreational life of the Students in organizing the pro- grams for the evenings at the hostess houses and arranging for stunt nights and other amuse- ments along those lines.

THE DEFENDER The Hostess House Hostess houses are one ofthe big essentials in every camp,-and Camp Meade is no ex- ception. The fact that there are places where the boys are welcomed, where they may ob- tain writing material, where, in general, they may enjoy leisure,-is a big thing to all the candidates, and a necessary adjunct to camp life. During the training camp season, when three thousand extra men were stationed here, it was found necessary to greatly increase the work and scope of this department. Accord- ingly, four branch houses were opened, all fully equipped for enjoyment and leisure. Victrolas, orchestras, and pianos combined H0S.,.,,SS,,,S to present a touch of home. Cafeterias, where one could obtain a real, home-cooked meal, were installed in some of the huts. All sorts of writing materials were distributed, so that parents and sweethearts would receive mail with the greatest despatch. Checkers, chess, a11d dominoes, were always available to their respective devotees. In general, the hostess houses were miniature melting pots where all grades of every branch of servicetlmet, fraternized, and enjoyed themselves. The work of our hostess has .been varied and continuousg they have been keeping step all hours of the day and eva ry day in the week. The greatest of her duties is in the administration of her hut. Then she, in turn, assumes the role of confidante, sister, chape- rone, and entertainer. The most important Cand interestingj job of the hostess is in the capacity of ofiicial adviser of all heart affairs, and all such ailments are speedily adjusted under her care. The popularity of the ' ostess houses are proven by the vast patronage they receive. Every evening, when the bo,-'s are off duty, from 6 o'clock to 1o:3o, crowds of lads pass in and out,-and everyone feels the better for their stay. The call of tl1e hostess houses has greater precedence jjer the boys than every call but one, and that is the Chow Call. That has no rival !' But the hostesscs have gotten together and conspired to super- sede, next year, even the mess call, and towards that end we Wisl1 them the best of luck. Miss Mary Hutchin,'Hbstess Mrs. Laura C.

Lisvesoulz Camp Chaplain The Summer Training Season of IQ23 at Camp Meade finds the CMTC candidates grouped into five units as follows: One each of Artillery, Cavalry, and Engineers, and two of Infantry. The seven chaplains assigned to this camp for thc Summer Training period were de- tailed as follows: h Chaplain George F. Rixey, Methodist Episcopal, South, Assigned to Troop GH, 3rd Cavalry. Chaplain John Hall, Lutheran, Assigned to Company FH, ISI Engineers. Chaplain Ivan L. Bennett, Baptist, South, on duty with the Tank Corps. Chaplain Commodore R. Watkins, Congregational, with the 34th Infantry. Chaplain Ivan G. Martin, Presbyterian, North, with the 12th Infantry. Chaplain Pierre H. Levesque, Roman Catholic, with the 6th Field Artillery. A Chaplain Jacob M. Stick, Lutheran, of the Reserves, Editor-in-Chief of the Camp nnual. The first task of the chaplains is to minister to the religious needs of the whole per- sonnel. Religious Services are held in the Camp Meade chapel at 8:30 and 9:30 a. m. on Sundays. Services for men of the Jewish Faith are observed each Friday evening at 8:00 p. m. and midweek services have been inaugurated in the two main sections of the Camp. The Sunday morning services have been exceptionally well attended, the average being over six hundred at each service. The several Protestant chaplains ofliciate in turn at the chapel and midweek services, the Catholic Chaplain says Mass at the Tank School and at Camp Meade each Sunday, Page Om' Ilundred Fourtrfn p THE DEFEN-DER the Jewish Welfare Board sends a representative for the Friday evening services, thus the various beliefs are respected and provided for. A Sing-song' on Sunday evenings has also been conducted with real success, the men joining with voices, instruments and right good will in rendering the old familiar songs. Cooperation with local communities is ever the watch-word and each Sunday some of the chaplains not on actual duty in Camp have ofliciated in Baltimore, Washington and the vicinity. On several Sunday evenings, the Chaplains, under the direction of Chaplain Stick, accompanied by the CMTC band and two truck loads of men motored to Baltimore, and held open-air services in Morrell Park. Another important function of the chaplain, is the visitation of the sick and prisoners. By daily roster, each chaplain in turn visits the hospital wards and comes in contact with all the patients, who may thus obtain spiritual assistance, encouragement and cheer, each day. The guardhouse is visited each week and personal contact with the prisoners enables the chaplain to be of real help to these men in their various' needs. The Service Huts in each area are filled each evening with lively throngs, jesting, singing, playing pool, cards, checkers and other games, or writing to home and friends of the many interesting notes of camp life. The chaplain finds here a fertile Held for close personal contact, exchange of confidences, helpful guidance, as well as the rendering of many personal services. There are a number of duties which the chaplain performs, as occasion arises, with- out ostentation, and yet with real helpfulness to the individual and to the whole command: there are personal interviews, correspondence with relatives and friends of the men in Camp, Lectures, cooperation with the Recreation and Athletic Gfhcers, organizing of bands and orchestras, shows, stunt-nights, Sing-Songs and amusement of every kind. In any way he may be of service the Chaplain is ready and eager to help and his earnest desire of promoting the greater good makes him strive for that ideal: to become all things to all menf, CAMP MEAIJE CHAPEL Page One Ilundrfd Fifmfu -il THE, DEFENDER 'l Final Ratings, CMTC The following final ratings as deter- mined bv the Board of Ins eetors under ,. . .

Barnet Shear, First Honor man of last graduating class at the Philadelphia Normal School, after completing successfully the course for teaching, left for a vacation to Camp Meade, to attend the Citizens' Military Training Camp. He says, This is the best thing any young man between the ages of I7 and 26 years could do. I like the company, food and general treatment are superb. YVe are treated more like guests, and every- one, it seems, is here to please us, and do all they can to make us comfortable. Candidate Shear has accomplished Won- ders in the short time he has been in the camp. From a private he rose to Acting Corporal, and led a squad of men on the drill field. In the target practice he at- tained the best scores in shooting at 50 yards distance and the best triangle at zoo yards distance. In the short time here, he has become one of the most popular fellows in training and is recognized through- out the camp as Barney. H Candidate Shear has been elected Captain for the CMTC Alumni Association for Philadelphia.

Bowden has been selected as the best Blue Course Candidate in the Infantry of the 1923 Citizen's Military Training Camp. Sergeant Bowden entered the Citizenis Military Training Camp at Camp Meade, Md., in 1921, where he served as a Corporal in Company HF , under Captain Perry L. Baldwin. Because of his good work in military tactics, he was recommended for the NVhite Course. During the month of August, 1922, he again entered the Citizen's Military Training Camp,fand was enrolled in the White Course. During that year he served as a Corporal in Company C , under Captain Glenn L. Allen. In the same year he was selected as a member of the CMTC, Third Corps Area Rifle Team, which gave a splendid account of itself at the National Rifle Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. While at Camp Perry he qualified as sharp- shooter. In 1923, Sergeant Bowden was assigned to Compa- ny B I2'El1 Infantry, CMTC. It was during this year that he distinguished himself ' as being the best Blue Course Candi- date. He served as First Sergeant and received the competent instruction of Captain Edwin E. Aldridge and Captain Don N. Holmes. Sergeant Bowden has been very popular with his Officers, fellow Non- Commissioned Officers and those who worked under him. All the men who know him are convinced that, due to his untiring efforts, he deserves the splendid distinction that he has been awarded. NVC all hope that Sergeant Bow- den continues his work in military lines, for should he receive a com- mission in the Organized Reserves, his services would be of additional value to our country.

This day marked the arrival of 2,115 CMTC Candidates at Camp Meade, Maryland, for their monthis training. Fifty officers and one hundred specially selected regular enlisted men were all stationed at the various places, to direct the students, at rail- road and car stations in Baltimore and all through the camp. The procession began at the car station at camp. Registration, rigorous physical test,-heart, feet, lungs, blood pres- sure, eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Typhoid and smallpox vaccinations were given, and tests were made for presence of diphtheria. After the completion of this physical examination, the candidates were then marched down aisles upon either side of which are arranged piles of clothing, shoes, hats, shirts and other military equipment. Each man was personally fitted by an officer so as to insure neatness and comfort. After they are thus completely outfitted, the students are then taken in trucks to their respective barracks, Where they immediately begin their training. They soon learn to make up their bunks, to arrange their clothing neatly and to align their shoes under the bunks. From now on they have instilled into them the characteristic army traits of neatness, cleanliness and orderliness. They came from all places in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia and they came in all shapes and sizes and in all sorts of clothing. And they came happy and smiling and glad. The heat and the hot sand meant nothing to them, though some of their faces were a bit redder. The lean boy and the fat boy came and the tall one and the short one. And with them were 2,500 various varieties of suitcases, bags, grips, hats, caps, ties and what I1Ot. Some were pale but that soon vanished to be replaced by a healthy tan. And some, of course, were regular little huskies, ready for a fight or frolic. But all are now, and will be for a month more, Citizen Soldiers of the United States Army. 1D1'I'l'llAlNlNG AT CAMP NIEADE Page 01112 llundrfd Twmzly-om' THE DEFENDER +- ., '.'f: '- , - :vi ' ,ww 7 , v, V 1.

CITIZENS SOLDIERS BEGIN TRAINING Promptly at 7:30 this morning CMTC students began their annual month's training. Starting oil' with massed ealesthenics, the instructions included training in the funda- mentals of a soldier, such as the correct position of the body, so as to give a uniform, well set-up and military appearance. Inter-mixed with various steps in this preliminary training, were talks to the students on Citizenship--what each individual in the country owes to the government and what may be expected in return. Lectures on personal hygiene, sanita- tion and first aid were also given, as was instruction in military courtesy. In this latter it was clearly pointed out that the military salute was but a mark of respect between equals. The salute has come down to us through the centuries, being first used when people, passing Pagz' One Hundred Twenty-tlm'z' T- THE DEFENDER +- each other and wishing to show themselves friendly and without weapons in their hands, would each raise their right hand to the other. The afternoonis work was concluded by an hour's massed athletics. For this hour, all the boys took part in some form of athletics-boxing, wrestling, running, jumping, baseball, volley ball, etc., all under the direct personal supervision of Regular Army officers. THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1923. Today, after the regular morning exercises, began the study of the hflanual of Arms, the school of the squad, the handling of his field equipment, lectures and talks on Citizen- ship, Hygiene and First Aid. Five minutes rest in twenty-five minutes work kept the men resh. The hours of instruction are from 7:30 to 11:30 and from I :oo to 3:00. The last hour in the afternoon was spent in athletics. The work is so arranged as not to cause any harm- ful results to any of the students. The hours are not long and the instruction progresses slowly and systematically and is not arduous. Everyone seemed well pleased with their first day's work. The CMTC students had a special dance given for them this evening in the Central Hostess House CThe old Y. M. C. AJ. hffany girls from NVashington and Baltimore gave cheer and good southern hospitality to the students. FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1923. CMTC BOYS FINISH FIRST WEEK OF CAMP The first week of the CMT Camp is over and the young fellows have already gotten well into the swing of being a real soldier. Day by day they like it better and better. You would be surprised at the vivid results unconsciously produced at Camp Meade. lVork and play are planned and carried out with a fine regularity. Up at six in the morning, followed immediately by a hearty breakfast of fruit, cereal, ham or bacon, eggs or hot cakes and sausages, toast and coffee. Drill, from 7:30 to II:30 and from I :oo to 3 :00. And what they have already learned! The stoop-shouldered are straightening out. Flat chests are beginning to fill out. Cheeks are starting to show a steady glow of tan and bronze. 'Legs and arms swing freely and rhythmically. Heads are up with green and blue and black and gray eyes looking you straight in the face. My, how proud they are to look like real soldiers, to be soldiers, ready, like Tommy Atkins of old, to do service for their country. Their training the past week has been specificially one of fundamentals. They have learned the art of being snappy, prompt and on the job at all times. They know what it is to stand up straight, to salute properly, to wear their clothes like veterans, though, sometimes, they do get discouraged at the apparently large size of their army shoes. Yet, in the same breath, they will tell you how fine and free and comfortable their feet feel. Live and learn is now the watchword, and learning they certainly are. Daily Army Medical Doctors give them talks and illustrations on Hygiene, Sanitation and First Aid. Already they have learned the secret of clean health, of clean living. Daily ,. I .-.. l LliC'l'URliS BEGIN Pngr Om' llufldrrd Twfnly-four .THE DEFENDER l- 1 FIELD ARTILLERY REVIEW baths and daily changes of linen and carefully-kept teeth, these and other items of personal hygiene are daily impressed upon them and carried out. And they are learning the rudi- ments of first aid, of what to do for blisters, for cuts, for burns, how to aid a wounded or sick man. And the sanitation of barracks is an open book to them now. They see the value of fresh air, of neatly arranged bunks and clothing, of polished shoes, of cleanly-swept floors. They know the value of mosquito bars, there is no fear of mosquito bites. Flies are an un- known quantity. Kitchens and mess halls are immaculate. The other great thing they have already partly acquired fthe-y will get more from day to dayj is a real understanding of Citizenship, of the.rights and duties and obligations of both the Government and the American Citizen. They begin to know the true meaning of Liberty, which, in the end, simply means freedom and free speech only insofar as it is for the greatest happiness of the greatest number, remembering always that our American ideals of government by the consent of the governed give us, inalienably and by our own Constitution, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happinessf, That is what the CMTC boys have already learned. Such talks are bound from their very nature to awaken within youngsters and to make grow and become living presences, the Army--the American -ideals of clean living, of clean thinking,'of truth and honesty in all things and with all people. SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1923. CMTC BOYS WATCH REVIEVV The 2,100 CMTC boys were assembled on a hill facing review field at Camp Meade this morning in order to watch and observe a review participated in by more than 4,000 regular army troops. The troops consisted of all of the regular army units stationed at Camp Meade for the summer training period. They were formed in line and massed from right to left, and consisted of the 12th and 34th Infantry, 6th Field Artillery, Troop G of the 3rd Cavalry, Company F of the ISt Engineers, 700 ROTC Students and the massed trains of the entire camp. All the bands of the Camp were massed and formed one large band of more than ISO pieces. Col. Wagrler, of the 34th Infantry, was in command of the troops, which were reviewed by Gen. Fiske, the Commanding General. The CMTC Students had the pleasure of watch- ing this large body of regular troops passed in review with a precision and neatness not often seen on any reviewing field. General Fiske was highly pleased with the review, and so told the Officers who were assembled after the review was over. One of the most inspiring moments of this review was when the entire 6th Field Artillery and the troop of Cavalry passed in review at a trot. The exhibition of regular Army horse- manship and training was something that made all the CMTC Students very well pleased that they were able to be there to watch this review. 'fFasses was the keynote of the day. Literally hundreds of boys went to the cities of Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington. The passes were issued from 1:20 p. m. to 9:45 p. m. Everyone on pass returned on time and was highly delighted. ATHLETIC SUPPLIES ARRIVE FOR CMTC STUDENTS Great quantities of brand new athletic equipment arrived and were distributed to the CMTC boys toclay. Some of the items received are 500 pairs boxing gloves, Ioo foot- balls, I,ooo baseballs, Ioo indoor baseballs, 500 bats, 600 fielders gloves, Ioo soccer balls, loo volley balls, loo basketballs and Ioo catcher mitts. This equipment plus what was already on hand enabled every student in the CMTC to take part in any branch of Athletics that pleased him. Page Ong Hundred Twenty-five -- THE DEFENDEPR -1- SUNDAY, JULY 1, IQ23. This date is memorialized as the start of the Battle of Gettysburg, in 1863. Sunday was another day for passes, and the same reservations as for Saturday were in force except that the passes read from 9:00 a. m. to 9:45 p. m. In the morning religious services were held in the chapel. Although many men had passes they remained for church services. REGIMENTAL ORGANIZATION DAY ENTERTAINMENT July 2, 1923. Twelfth Infantry. Program arranged by Chaplain Martiii, I2tl1 Infantry. ' BY BARNET SHEAR The boys were all assembled-free of charge-and spent a fine sociable evening. The program began at 7:30 and was given in the gymnasium. The performers consisted of the Regulars and the CMTC Students, Colonel G. W. Helms, Regimental Commander, pre- siding. A splendid greeting was given by Colonel Helms to the boys. The band of the Twelfth Infantry furnished the jazzy music. The orchestra of the Harmony Boys of the I2tll Infantry opened the program. The boys certainly appreciated the Hjazzi' music and this was shown by their hilarious applause, asking for many encores. The Eccentric Dancers, in the persons of Cades and Fisher put plenty of action into the evening. The dancers certainly looked their parts with the high felt hats and cigars stuck in their faces. The steps were brand new',-never witnessed before. Throughout the dancing the applause was very evident. Billy Welsch was another of the mirth makers. He should get unanimous recognition for his ability as a leader. His leading of Yes, we have no Bananasv was fine. All this was done with steps that would equal the best of dancers. This was followed by a piano number by Jules Freedmand. It would have been all right-but for the player. He was instantly recognized as The Big Cheesef' The reading, which followed, of Dangerous Dan McGrew -was very interesting and almost caused tears to come to the eyes of those present. W. Schemerhorn certainly could put it across. The Twelfth Infantry Band furnished very peppy music, throughout the evening and kept the boys in-full spirit. Private Livingstone- The New Recruit in Company B, needed a little time to prepare his dialogue. Fisher and Livingstone, finally appeared in their, In Bits, excellent dancers and jokesters. The Piggy Poem was certainly appreciated. The pigs are very particular. Almost all the members of the camp were present at the big gathering. Private Living- stone, Company B , 12th Infantry, proved to be the comedian of the evening, imitating very accurately a Jewish character actor. The Philadelphianx were very well represented in the program. The show was concluded by a snappy boxing bout between Battling Eddie Bunker of Philadelphia and Private Sam Rogers. MONDAY, JULY 2, 1923. The day President Garfield was assassinated. The Students began their second week of training. This was a continuation of the work of the past week. Rifle marksmanship lectures, and other military subjects were cleared up. Advanced work of the squad and platoon. The Whites and Blues took up, in addition to their other studies, Leadership, Map Reading and Sketching. The YVhites act as non-commissioned officers and the Blues act as officers of the Student Companies themselves. There was fine practice in athletics and games of all sorts today. TRAVEL AND SIGHTSEEING BY LLOYD W. ESHLEMAN Company I , 12th Infantry One of the greatest features to be found by candidates in the CMTC is the opportunity for travel and sight-seeing. During our thirty days of Camp Life there were five holidays and four half-holidays. During these' times free and part-fare excursions were provided in which hundreds participated. Page One Hundred Twenty-:ix --- THE DEFENDER -1- But by far the greatest enjoyment was experienced by certain unervyn individuals, who with very little money, undertook stepping-out on their own hook. Hospitable and kind-hearted citizens of the Sunny South were ready and willing to give them car rides upon all roads and highways. In particular two young men of the valiant Twelfth Regi- ment, Cwho delighted in worrying the top-sergeant repeatedly by their last minute ab- sencesj made uhikesl' in all directions seeing Washington on eight different occasions, Baltimore five times, Alexandria, Arlington, Annapolis, Mt. Vernon, Tolchester Beach and other places of interest. They estimated their travels at about one thousand miles and their expenses at about twenty dollars of which less than two dollars covered all car- fare. Modesty forbids mention of names but one of these young men was suspected of leaving for his charge to Preach whenever absent. The nickname clung! The other, called Dots by intimates, secured many more of them by exposure to sunlight and dust on these wandcrlust tours. Their travels were thorough and what they missed within a radius of fifty miles from camp is hardly worth discussion. Probably no other equal area in the United States affords so much of historical interest and at the end of our CMTC Basic Red year we find the time more than repaid by the liberal education imparted by battlegrounds, museums, ancient homesteads and relics, ceremonies, cemeteries, memorial tablets, and folk lore of all de- scriptions describing the very heart of the nation. For this heart of the nation we needed the best camp. Now we understand why Camp Nleade means so much and why we name our year-book the Defender. WHAT MESS CALLH MEANT BY EDSON I.

Pagr Our Ilumirfzl Twvllly-right --- THE DEFENDER -i- TU1ssDAY, JU1.Y 3, 1923. This day will not soon be forgotten. The Students began to learn the use of the riHe. Happy faces all around camp. Every boy wanted to know the correct way to shoot. They were taught the rifle and the correct methods of rifle shooting exactly the same as regular army soldiers. This preparatory Work is most necessary, since otherwise, when it came to the time when they must go on the Range and actually fire the rifle, they would not only be at a loss to know exactly what to do under the circumstances of wind and weather, but also they would absolutely fail to make any kind of decent target scores. WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1923. INDEPENDENCE DAY The CMTC Boys have holiday. No work of any kind was scheduled. Many left Camp on passes. A trip to Annapolis, Maryland, from 12:oo noon to 6:00 p. m. under the regular ofiicers, gave a delightful day to several hundred boys. Those remaining in camp engaged in various athletics, games, track events and in swimming. No review or parade was held. Not many remained in camp. THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1923. Every officer and every soldier in camp were on their toes bright and early today. Shine cm up was the word-for Major General Chas. H. Muir visited Camp Meade spending the greater part of inspecting all the affairs throughout the Camp. He paid parti- cular attention to the CMTC Boys, visiting everyone of the activities of these boys. He inspected barracks, mess halls, visited drill areas and watched the boys go through rifie rrarkmanship steps and then watched them during the greater part of the recreational play time in the afternoon. General Muir also visited the target range and the Tank School area and paid a flying visit to the Artillery Range. He expressed himself as being very well satisfied with the way the camp was running and was thoroughly pleased with the manner in which the CMTC boys have come along in their military training. CMTC BOYS WRITE NEW DRILL REGULATIONS I After ten days, training some of the CMTC boys decided that the ordinary definition of some of the terms used in the drill regulations were not quite up to the modern Jazz type, so they proceeded to get together and write out several new definitions of standard Army terms. Among these terms that they have gotten to believe in, or at least, which they believe should be adopted as standard are the following: Double-time. Rush in all directions at a dead run. Halt. Stop moving and bring your rifle down casually until it bumps the ground, either hand or both may be used. Forward march. Start off with either foot and try to keep as nearly abreast of the fellow next to you as convenient. If he goes too fast slow up and catch the next one. Rifle. A good substitute for fireworks on holidays. Salute. When you are forced to pass an officer and he is looking at you, bring the hand nearest the ofiicer up to your hat and down again. Retreat. A short drill period at which the band plays the same thing every day. Port Exchange. A place to buy chewing gum for drill periods. ' u , FRIDAY, JULY Q, 1923. Polish up',- Drill hard,' Put pep into it -These were the sentences for today, for tomorrow comes a great French General. Squad, platoon and company drills occupied the morning. The CMTC baseball league got well under way and at the present time it is a very tight race between Company IH of the 12th Infantry CMTC team and Company A of the 34th Infantry CMTC team. ' Most boys went to bed early to be in good shape for the review tomorrow. 4 Page' Om' llumlred Twemy-nina l- THE DEFENDER SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1923. GNNIQRAI. GOURAUD v1s1Ts CAITC AT CAMP MEADE ' General Henri Eugene Gouraud. the famous French General and Commander for a time of the Marine Brigade and also the famous 42llLl Rainbow Division, during the world war, visited Camp Meade Satur- day morning. A review of all the troops in Camp, consisting of more than 6,000 me11, was held in his honor. The General was accompanied by a Staff of eight Of- ficers. General Fiske, the Camp, Com- mander, was also present and accompanied the General in his review of the troops. All the regular troops in Camp, plus the 700 ROTC students and plus the more than 2,200 CMTC students took part in this review. General Gouraud, who lost his arm at the battle ofthe Dardanelles made a pictures- que figure as he stood at the review stand. He was well pleased with the entire affair. After the review General Gouraud made GIENICRAL GOURAUD a speech torall the students who were on a hill overlooking the review field. He told them that he was very glad to be the reviewing Officer of such 'a fine body of men, and paid the students a great compliment in telling them that the, bore themselves as well as the regular troops that also passed in review. After the review General Gouraud was shown around Camp, making brief inspection of everything of interest, visiting the barracks and the mess halls. SUNDAY, JULY 8, 1923. After Church services, similar to one held last Sunday,thcCMTC Boys took a trip to the Eastern Shore, going from Annapolis to Claiborne. This trip lasted from noon to about 7:00 p. m. , A song service in the evening at the Chapel attracted many of the boys. The Hostess Houses also were well filled with boys singing and many others writing letters. A large number of visitors were in camp. Fathers and mothers came to see their sons. RfIONDAY, JULY 9, 1923. Range day. Sun hot-Sand fine and deep. The boys went out for a day of it. They were assigned into groups, each group was placed at a starting target. All men who made a certain percentage at shooting are known as qualified rifiemen. Those qualifications are known as marksmen. Safety precautions were published. In reference to the question of safety, several precautions have been taken and have been published in orders from headquarters, Camp Meade, Md. Regular Army Officers are in charge of everything connected with the firing, and group commanders are Majors in the regular army, and their lieutenants have personal and direct charge of all the targets. No student is allowed to go up to the firing point until it is actually his turn to fire. The bolts of the rifles are kept open at all times, and since no ammunition is issued to the student until .he is actually on the firing line, there is no danger whatever of any student being injured by accidental firing of any other student. The non-commissioned officers of the regular Army are the only soldiers on the firing line who have ammunition and they have definite instructions not to issue ammunition until the student is actually ready to load ' Page Om' llunflrcd Thirty THE DEFENDER ll- and to fire at his target. Rifles are inspected after each man completes his firing. This makes it a certainty that no student leaves the firing line with any ammunition in his possession. Four Medical Officers and Two ambulances are in constant attention at the rifie range in case there should be any unforeseen accident. NVhile some men are actually firing the other men receive constant instruction in the principles of rifie markmanship so that when their turn comes to fire they are ready to go to the firing point with all the essential points of firing. All precautions must necessarily be preserved when actually firing. TUESDAY, JULY Io, 1923. CMTC STUDENTS RATED ON THEIR SECOND WEEICS WORK The Board of oflieers appointed by General Fiske to rate the various CMTC Students announced their ratings for the first two weeks in the CMTC Camp. The best Basic Red Infantry student was Robert Nicolls of Co. B 34th Infantry. The best Advanced Red Infantry man was De Alten J. Ridings, Co. 'KAN 12th Infantry. The best VVhite Infantry man was Elmer Guyer, Co. OH 12th Infantry. The Advanced Red Artillery Student was Richard VVitherill, Battery B , 6th F. A. The best VVhite, Thomas J. Kane, Battery C 6th F. A. The best Blue was Sylvester Harkins, Battery f'C,' 6th F. A. The best Advanced Red Engineer was A. S. Darragh, Co. F 'f ISt Engineers. The best White was Z. C. Frey of Company FH Ist Engineers and the best Blue was J. T. Bodle also of Company Ffh The best Advanced Red Cavalry was D. H. Tayler, Troop GU, 3rd Cavalry. The best VVhite was F. C. Berry, Troop GH and the best Blue was L. T. Savage, Troop Gif, 3rd Cavalry. The board also rated the various squads, platoons and companies of the CMTC Camp. First place in the squads went to the first squad of the second platoon of Company Av, 34th Infantry. The best platoon was awarded to the first platoon of Company IU, 34th Infantry. The best section of Artillery was awarded to the third section of Battery Bn of the 6th F. A. The second platoon of Battery BH was given the best platoon rating. It was also awarded the highest sharing as a Battery itself. The best squad and the best platoon of the Engineers we-'t toythe first platoon of Company FU, ISI Engineers. The best squad of Cavalry was given to the second squad of the first platoon, Troop G , 3rd Cavalry and the best platoon of Cavalry was the second platoon, Troop GH, 3rd Cavalry. ' VVIEDNESDAY, JULY II, 1923. This marked the third day on the range. The boys are doing fine work and like it. The boys made, generally, an excellent record, averaging on the whole around about 40 out ofa total score of 50. The training in the straight infantry work and in the cavalry engineers and artillery continued, and covered broader-and more advanced instruction in their various types of training. Instruction in Hygiene and Sanitation continued, and lectures on citizenship took up further questions of the duties and obligations of American citizens. A ON 'rms RANGE Page Om' llundrrd Thirly-om' -l THE DEFENDER The new thing out in camp today was when Chaplain Stick began to organize a CMTC Alumni Society. Acting on information received from the Headquarters of the United States Military Training Camps Association at Chicago, steps are being instituted to have the.ClVITC boys form themselves into groups, according to the various local counties, for the purpose of afliliating with the Association. The different groups elected local captains. These local county captains will later elect a state captain. The state captains will then elect a Third Corps Area Captain. It is believed that the young boys can do no finer thing than to join such an organiza- tion as the lylilitary Training Camps Association. It is essentially a real American, patriotic society, designed to keep alive and to spread throughout the country the virtues of clean living, right thinking, true citizenship, and the real meaning of service to the government and country-ideals that are constantly instilled into the boys gathered here in the CNITC Camp. A great many of the boys signified their intention of joining the Association. THURSDAY, JULY 12, IQ23. Orangemcn's Day. Yes, we had no bananas -but this being Orangemen's Dayg we had a plenty. Some of the 6th Field Artillery men made a raid on the mess desiring oranges for ammunition. The cavalry, who by this time felt very clever, took up mounted scouting and patrolling. In the afternoon Infantry and Cavalry went through their bayonet and saber exercises respectively and showed marked advance. IN THE AFTERNOON CMTC BOYS HOLD TRACK AND FIELD MEET More than 500 of the 2,100 students in the CMTC Camp at Camp Meade took part in a track and field meet held in the stadium this afternoon. A crowd of 5,000 people watch- ed the entire meet. 2 fi ,fel ' -4-rf ' BKIGADIl'1li-G1iNlillAl. l'lISKI'I AT 'l'nAck Mimi' Pngr Om' ll u11d1'vzl T11 iffy-Iwo --- THE DEFENDER -- .fas . . -tP ... t NVAN 015111 NG M1Ns'rR mrs FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1923. The 'flinxi' was abroad today and some men lost some of their property at various times. Action was taken at Headquarters and an order issued to all Commanders to warn the men, and urge all to be honest, faithful and upright. SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923. Nlajor-General Charles H. Muir, Commanding the Third Corps Area, reviewed and inspected Camp Meade today-and observed the progress made in the CMTC. He also attended the celebration of the Twelfth Infantry's II2Il1 Anniversary as a regiment. This was a big affair. The Twelfth Infantry was organized in 1861 and recently has been stationed at Fort Howard, Md. Several oflicers of the' Third Corps Area Headquarters served many years with this organization. Col. Frank S. Cochan, Chief of Staff, I7 years, Col. Alfred T. Smith, Assistant Chief of Staff, 20 years, Col. E. E. Fuller, in charge of ROTC work, 20 years, Major Ursa M. Diller, Quartermaster Corps, IS years. General Muir was greatly pleased with the showing which the CMTC boys made at the review today, and he expressed his approval and delight over all the various activities of the entire camp. 202 CMTC Students made a trip to Mt. Vernon and auto bus tour to Washington, D. C. and reported that the trip was the best to date of any taken. The Board of Inspectors announced ratings for the period ending July 14, 1923, and the honors are about evenly distributed between the CMTC Companies of the 12th Infantry and those of the 34th Infantry. Company C 34th Infantry, has the honor of again being chosen the best Infantry Company. This is a very high place, since it was about the only unit that held its own from last week.

He dwelt at length on the value of the training camp, not only as a physical benefit for the boys themselves, but also as a means of their receiving and taking home with them the real, true meaning of the American ideals of citizenship and the obligation of citizens to the Government. He urged them to form local groups in their respective localities, to which only boys who had attended the Train- ing Camp would be admitted to membership.

' TU1zsDAY, JULY 17, IQ23. This marks the start of Shermanls March to the Sea in 1864. Today there was a march to Admiral Hill where there was a regular Army demonstra- tion of war strength Battalion in the attack. In this demonstration the Infantry Battalion was aided by fire from gun battery of Field Artillery. The Battalion of Tanks, armed with machine guns and one pounders. This war strength battalion was composed of selected Regular Army Officers and enlisted men from both the 12tl1 and 34th Infantries. There were three Rifle Companies and one Machine Gun Company all at full war strength in this demonstration. In addition to the Battalion it had its own Battalion Headquarters. The purpose of this demonstration was to point out to tl1e CMTC Students exactly how a war strength battalion operates in war times. This demonstration which commenced promptly at 4:00 olclock, lasted approximately about an hour and one-half. The students and many guests and visitors took their place on Admiral Hill, from which place they could observe the entire course of tl1e demonstra- tion. It was a thriller.', The Battalion Demonstration was such a success that General Fiske published a memorandum congratulating tl1e Troops wl1o took part in and staged this problem. Senator W'adsworth of New York who was present stated that he never had seen a more inspiring spectacle. FVEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1923. , On tl1is date in 1918 the American Army made a successful counter-attack at Chateau Tl1iery in France. This was Parents-Visitors Day.

ARMORY, 5th REGIMENT, BALTIMORE, M. D. July 25th, 1923. Brig.-Gen. H. B. FISKE, My dear General: I cannot refrain from writing of the surprise and pleasure afforded the people of this city last Saturday when the men under your command paraded our streets. I have been connected with the 5th Regiment or the Veteran Corps of the 5th Regi- ment since February 1870, and have participated in many great parades, and have wit- nessed very man ,.but I can truthfully say I have never seen one in which the men marched as well, kept better alignment orrbetter cadence in marching, than did the men under your command last Saturday. Every man kept his head and eyes straight to the front, and looked every inch the soldier we read about. Please accept my congratulations, Respectfully yours, ' CSignedD GEO. W. HYDE, Major Commanding. SUNDAY, JULY 22, 1923. Church services this morning were the largest attended since the camp opened. Chap- lain Rixey delivered an able sermon. Chaplain Levesque, Camp Chaplain, also had well attended services every Sunday for all of the Roman Catholic boys. This evening Chaplains Martin and Stick took two truck loads of CMTC Students and band to an open air service in Baltimore. Chaplain Martin delivered the sermon, Chaplain Stick led the music and had charge of the men. CAMP MEADE MEDAL MEN Page Om' Ilundred Thirty-nine -- THE DEFENDER +1- CMTC STUDENTS TOOK MOONLIGHT BOAT TRIP The last of the series of the CMTC week-end excursions was a trip to Baltimore and a moonlight boat ride on the Chesapeake Bay, aboard the Latrobe, a boat which Major Jackson of Baltimore very generously placed at the services of the CMTC students for this occasion. There was an orchestra on board and many of the girls from Baltimore who have helped in making the dances at Camp Meade a success attended. Among other places of interest seen were Fort McHenry and Fort Howard. They left Camp lVIeade at 5:35 p. m. and returned at approximately 10:30 p. m. Quite a large number of visitors were in Camp today. MONDAY, JULY 23, 1923. Major-General John L. Hines,Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army ofthe United States, reviewed all the troops in camp today--paying special attention to the CMTC Boys. The review began at 3:15 p. m. and lasted about an hour. At this Review tendered to Major-General Hines, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army, thirty-three CMTC students were awarded bronze medals for excellence in their,various courses for the entire month. These bronze medals are donated by the Civilian Military Training Camps Association with the approval of the NVar Department, and were distributed as follows: one to the best student in each Basic Red Company and one to the best student in each Battalion of the Advanced Red, of the NVhite and of the Blue Courses. f TUEsDnY, JULY 24, 1923. Hurrayl pay dayn-was heard all over camp today. All of this morning was devoted to turning in property and other equipment of the CMTC Boys. The afternoon was devoted to paying the students their mileage allowances and to the purchasing of tickets for the boy's return. Since the Government feels itself morally responsible that these boys get home safely, it was decided that immediately upon receiving ' ' their mileage allowances the students were Tut: LAs'r Nmxrr COIT1pClled to buy their railroad tickets. After these tickets were purchased, Company Commanders collected the tickets and kept them until the time of departure on YVednesd ay morning. This obviated the necessity of any of the boys arriving home at all hours of the night, since arrangements were made with railroad officials which made certain that by leaving Wednesday morning all the students will arrive at their homes before midnight YVednesday. Tonight was a great time in camp. Farewells-parties-demonstrations and some noise so that very few slept, but, HA good time was had by all. Tonight the Commanding Officer and Staff gave a large dance to the ORC Officers who were on duty during the CMTC Camp. XVEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1923. CMTC BOYS DILPART FOR HOME Beginning at six oiclock this morning, CMTC Students began leaving for home. Although there were more than 2,100 boys to leave there was not a hitch in their departure. This was very carefully provided for by companies leaving their barracks at stated times under supervision of regular army officers. From the barracks the students were marched to the W. B. 8: A. Station where they boarded cars for Baltimore and XVashington, from which places all the students took trains for their homes. Every boy will be at his home before midnight. The boys all seemed glad that their month's work was over, but it needed only a look at their tanned facesto show that their month's training, even if a bit arduous, was most beneficial to them. Anyone who saw these boys coming into Camp and then saw them leave Camp after their month's work, could not fail but be impressed with the tremendous difference in their entire appearance. Many remarked, you will see me back next year. Page Om' llundrvd Ferry Q , 1 L x N. I l E 1 bv A - 1 I N .- , Sy J 3 ' 1 V ,amy I X mguwwm 9 0' Q - 3 X . ... ' x XY I .

Qzfgyhs QNXO Medical Advice on C. C. Sickness BY FRANCIS B. BARR Company F,H ISt Engineers, CNITC l The attacks of C. C. sickness comes on at sick call and lasts until the patient is relieved with two of the little O. D. pillets which he invariably throws. The patient is likely to be rather vague in his recital of his ills, complaining of every thing from an ache in his toe to a pain in his liver. No cause is found by the examining doctor for such misery. Sick calls occurring at the same time as fatigue call and usually lasting until after drill enables the ailing one to miss one hour's work This disease should be checked while in the acute stages lest it become chronic. An extra dose of K. P. has been known to cure most cases in one treatment. The disease is never found in camps where the sick call has been changed to the periods allotted for bunk fatigue.

While the foresaid is absent, the villian and his accomplices enter disguised in service uniforms and chin-straps.

Buerkle comes in and stands by his bunk. Shambaugh, an accomplice of the villian, lovingly shoves him backwards and he falls thru to the floor. Bonny, blue-eyed, bow- legged Swede is seriously injured in feeling only, and blames cause of his misfortunes on Carey, who proclaims his innocence in the affair, but in vain. Score: Buerkle,oo. Opposition, I. Round 2. Buerkle shows his patriotism to Abyssinia by trading his bunk for Christian's, which is good, but not for Christian. Carey asks Buerkle to fix his bunk, but the latter cooly offers the cold shoulder, and leaves for a few minutes. Carey takes advantage of this and playfully puts coal bucket between Buerkle's sheets. Gong prevents further playfulness. Round even. V Canto the Third. The Swenska returns and apparently does not like the idea of the coal bucket in his bunk, for he takes it out. Again he places blame on C., who of course claims innocence. But Buerkle heeds not the pleadings of the accused, and slides the accused's bunk down stairs. While so engaged, his rival in the business drops Buerkle,s bedding out the front window. Mucli applause. Page One Ilundred Forty-:own 1- THE DEFQENDER - Fourth Lap.

Pagf Om, Hundred Fifty -- THE DEFENDER -1- The But Bats Club The BUT BUTSH, one of the most exclusive fraternities in the CMTC, was originated June 28, 1922. Its organizer, Barney Shear, was elected Grand Majesty with his co-worker Bob lhluller, Associate Majesty, and Harry Doersam, Grand Scribe. Its main purpose was to protect the Basic Reds from the on- slaught of the Blues and Whites. Occasionally honorary NVl1ites were taken in upon their word to obey the rules of the organization, among whom were F. Barber, W. Johnson, and Gettysburg Mitch,'. Another reason was to get complete co-operation between the members of the society and officials of the camp. The organiza- tion grew very rapidly within a few days, and by the close of camp formed the winning platoon of the CMTC.

There is every reason to believe that such a course will be continued. Therefore it is incumbent upon a large proportion of the young men of this Re ublic to be read for arm service-a condition P Y made possible only by intensive training. To the boys who unselfishly put aside both business and personal pursuits to fit themselves for military duty, this Corporation ex- tends greetings and congratulations. You are the advance guard of Good Citizenship, and in your keeping, if need arise, will rest both our Domestic Security and our National Defense. In voicing our appreciation of the great Work being accomplished through the Citizens, Military Camps, We merely express the thought of all sincere Americans. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION BUICK CADILLAC CHEVROLET OAKLAND OLDSMOBILE G. M. C. TRUCK I D E NV E R cam? airway City Denver has the western spirit of hospitality, the open gate and extended hand, and manifold attractions of every kind. The scenery and surroundings differ from those of any other city of the world. Its climate and all of the things which eonduce to the happi- ness of the visitor are every year becoming better known to Americans. The word WELCOME set in large letters in an artistic Welcome Arch erected by the City at the foot of Seventeenth Street, greets the visitor to Denver as he comes from the cemmodious Union Station. Towers and domes of Denver's business district, flanked by beautiful residences, are outlined against the snow-capped Rockies, in the near distance. Denver, the capital, is also the largest city of Colorado. The 1920 census recorded a population of 256,49l, while an unofficial check early in 1923 resulted in the report of fully 275,000 residents. Denver was settled in the summer of 1858, after W. Green Russell, of Georgia, found traces of gold in the sands of Cherry Creek, near its conHuence with the Platte river. The little village which sprang up in the shadow of the Colorado Rockies was named for Gen. James W. Denver, Governor of Kansas territory, which, at the time, extended westito the region of the Continental Divide. Colorado was ad- mitted as a state in 1876. Denver's area is 58 square miles. Among its notable buildings are: the State Capitol, of Colorado granite, Federal Building, of white marble, in classic style, U. S. Mint, Public Library, Union Station, City Hall, County Court House, two museum buildings, Civic Center, the stock-show stadium, and the Municipal Auditorium. Fort Logan, a mili- tary post, attracts many visitors. --Courtesy Denver Tourist Bureau D1-mvmn, SCENIC AND COMMERCIAL GATEWAY 'ro 'rm-1 W1-1s'r ll !7 Colorado's capital is a manufacturing and shipping center, as well as a gateway to the scenic west, the mid-continental area with its 30,000,000 inhabitants being tributary to Denver. Denver's bank clearances in 1922 totaled 351,548,606,707g its deposits 35167, 404,838g manufactured products 35125,411,270, while the value of the retail trade was rl5115,270,000. ' Receipts at the Denver Union Stockyards in 1922 were 525,705,000 Den- ver is the leading feeder market of the west and the third largest sheep market in the world. The City's industrial roll new has about 1,200 factories. Merchandise normally car- ried by Denver retail stores is worth 9550, 000,000. Merchants say that August, form- erly the poorest month, in point of sales, is next to December, the heaviest, and this is attributed to tourists, who spent 3l542,000,000 in Colorado in 1922. Denver is known, geographically, as the Mile-1-ligh City, because the altitude is 5,280 feet, scenically, thru its official recognition by the United States government as the Gateway City to twelve National Parks and thirty-two National Monuments. Two of these National Parks-Rocky Mountain and Mesa Verde areas-are in Colorado, also Colorado and Wheeler National Mon- uments, and fifteen National Forests. The Colorado State Capitol, situated on Courtesy Deliver 'rnurist Bureau a terraced prominence, has a gold-encrusted dome of gold leaf rolled f1'om the yellow metal taken from the mines in Colorado. The Colorado State Museum, across the street, contains relics of the Indian Cliff Dwellers from their ruins i11 Mesa Verde National Park, in southwestern Colorado. From Cheesman Park, the highest point, or the Capitol, one of the steps of which is marked One mile above sea level , the Rocky Mountains may be seen for a distance of 200 miles from Pikc's Peak to Long's Peak, in Rocky Mountain National Park, and on into Wyoming. There is a splendid view, embracing eighteen peaks in the Continental Divide, from the Daniels at Fisher Tower. This 330-foot tower, a commercial adaptation of the Campanile in Venice, is one of the most striking pieces of architecture in the West. Fitzsimons National Hospital is ideally situated. Stretching toward these lofty heights are highways which gradually are being turned into hard-surfaced boulevards. Colorado has a total of about 48,000 miles of roads. Con- crete mixture, structural steel for bridges and many other industrial materials are used in greater quantities than ever before. Denver's building operations in 1922 totaled 5l518,090,090. Into the splendid residences that have gone up, public buildings and busi- ness blocks has gone Colorado granite, marble and other stone, as well as choice Colorado timber. Colorado has the largest known deposits of radium, tungsten and molybdenum. It is first in the combined production of gold and silver, totaling 312,545,500 in 1922. Denver is the hub for the West's supply and demand, the focusing point for its com- merce, the logical assembling place for its raw materials, its economic fabricating center, its ready, central distribution point. In a wholesale way Denver acts as the distributing point for passenger cars, trucks, tires, and accessories for Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, and parts of Nebraska, Utah and Montana. Denver's climate which enables use of cars throughout the year, its good roads, its numerous accessible recreational and scenic attractions in the nearby moun- tains,its location in the center of rich agricultural districts and its large tourist travel all add to the volume of the retail automobile and truck business in Denver. A large assembling plant for automobiles and a large tire manufacturing plant are recent de- velopments in the city's motor industry. Travel is also a recognized industry in Colorado. Tourist registrations from all sources in 1022 were 4,000,000 They included many duplicationsg however, travel authorities were agreed that 600,000 visitors remained in the state for an average of seven days and spent 5510 a day. Travel expansion by rail, centering in Rocky Mountain National Park, shows an increased attendance from 31,000 in 1915 to 219,164 persons in 1922. Tourist III expansion by auto in Colorado developed from two camps housing 4,500 motorists in 1915 to 213 municipal automobile camps visited by 514,412 persons in 1022. Sharing in the distribution of the 342,000,000 spent by the vacationists were the farmer, miller, manufacturer, wholesaler, jobber, commercial salesman, advertising man, hotehnan, resort owner, transportation utility, merchant, restauranteur, retailer, and automobile distrilnitor. Denver shows every courtesy to travel- , ers. The City of Denver, and the business interests, thru the Civic and Commercial Association, maintain two free information bureaus-an uptown ollice of the Denver Tourist Bureau at 505 Seventeenth Street. f and the Union Station branch. Hotels and I rooming houses are listed. Travelers ar- riving at any hour of the day or night are directed from the Union Station branch to hotels thru an impartial system based al- together on their preferences and expressed needs. Colorado literature is distributed. Foreign hotel literature finds a place in the racks. Other free information oflices of the Denver Tourist Bureau are maintained in Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Col- orado Springs. , Wy-gaps-uw -T Nature has destined that Denver be one Courtesy Denver Tourist Bun-an of four gl'eat cities in the pathway of com- lnerce across the nation-New York, Chi- cago, Denver and San Francisco. Denver's market is the entire West. A third of the nation's population constitutes the market of the West, which can be served centrally from Denver. And it is the third with the fastest increasing buying power. Denver jobbers have keenly realized both their opportunities and their responsibilities. Hundreds of communities in Denver territory depend for their daily needs upon Denver jobbers who are able to give them immediate service in emergencies and in response to telephone or telegraphic orders. Denver jobbers normally carry on hand more than 335,000,000 worth of goods. Store proprietors and buyers thruout the Rocky Mountain region attend Jobbers' Market Week in Denver, in August, under the auspices of the Jobbers' Bureau of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association. The City is famed for its splendid park and boulevard system, clean streets, emerald- greeu lawns, invigorating atmosphere and sunshine virtually the year 'round. There are thirty-nine parks, seventeen of which are children's playgrounds. City Park, the largest, has a wild animal habitat, municipal golf links and a museum of natural history with the unsurpassed mineral, bird and animal exhibits. There are six golf courses two of which are conducted by the city. The others are maintained by the Cherry Hills Club, Denver Country Club, Lakewood Country Club, and the Rocky Mountain Country Club. Denver was the first to establish, through special act of the legislature, a. system of mountain park areas, numbering nineteen thus far and aggregating 5,018 acres. These wild romantic spots in the Rocky Mountains are connected by about 125 miles of splendid auto drives, beginning fifteen miles west of Denver, the capital of Colorado. The munic- ipality already has expended in the neighborhood of 31,000,000 for this distinctive scenic highway, part of which was once a Ute lndian trail. In a year 750,000 persons have inotored thru this enchanting region, which contains, on Lookout Mountain, the rocky crypt that gaaiiks the last resting place of Col. W. F. Cody Cl3uffalo Billj and his wife, Louisa l rederici oc y. Active glaciers, sand dunes, boiling springs, snow banks, and ski slides that offer winter sports in summer-these are typical recreational delights.
