E E Those engaged in recruiting for , Citizens' Military Training Camps are divided broadly into two classesg namely, military, which includes members of the Regular Army, the Organized Reserve Corps and the National Guard, and non-military, which includes citizens who have no military status. The officers of the Organized Reserve Divisions, having a personnel and an organization which enables them to carry on their Work, were made responsible for the military activities connected with recruiting Within their divi- sional areas, other military agencies assisting. The Military Training Camps Association, composed of a large number of men who have given unselfishly of their time and money, are relied upon as the principal civilian recruiting agency. Members of this association, and the military organizations, have Worked hand in hand to produce the excellent results so apparent on the opening of the three camps. Mr. Gould Dietz, of Omaha, was selected by the Secretary of War as his Civilian Aide for the Seventh Corps Area, which embraces the States of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. Under the direction of Mr. Dietz, there is one civilian in charge of the activities of the Military Training Camp Association in each State., Those for the respective states Were: Mr. W. C. lVlacFadclen, North Dakotag Mr. M. H. Colgrove, South Dakotag Mr. G. E.. Ingersoll, Minnesota, Mr. J. C. Conway, Arkansas, Mr. O. E. Engler, O. R. C., Nebraska, Mr. C. S. Huffman, Kan- sas, Mr. Guy E. Logan, lowa, and Mr. Carl F. G, Meyer, Missouri. No small portion of this year's success is due to the active part played by the Ameri- can Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Women's Overseas League, all of Whom worked actively in creating interest in these camps. To the physicians and surgeons of the Corps Area, the Corps Area Commander is much indebted. These men volunteered their services to administer smallpox vaccination, typhoid inoculation and to make physical examination of applicants. Through their inter- est and earnest efforts, many of the recruits in the Citizens' Military Training Camps have been enrolled. Their indorsement of the Citizens' Military Training Camps is all the more valuable, because it comes from men Who, by reason of education and training, are thoroughly qualified to speak regarding the very great value to young men of the training and instruction given in these camps.
