They were answered by sharp, snap ping barks of eager bidders, as un der the proddings of assistants they pitted bid against hid until discre-j tion tossed in the sponge. I From 10 o'clock Tuesday morning until late afternoon the auctioneer, his collar wilted, his voice hoarse and his arms tired, stomped up and down the platform urging, begging, plead ing and entreating for "more mon ey." The audience of wreckers would remain silent, then the fist of the auctioneer would bang down, dis dainfully, as he he 'turned the pur chase over to the buyer. Then it would start all over again. The same scene, same principals and same actors, as tho the tableau had been prearranged. The same voices did the bidding in practically even instanct. They came from groups of men gathered on opposite sides cf the theater. They were the "big fellows" and dealt in large sums. Now and then a voice would interpose r-oni somewhere in the crowd. A bid would he made rather timidly and the "big fellows" would cross-fire with bids that smothered and sometimes as tounded the bidder on the sid elines. It was quite a transition to those tense days of 1917. when the streets were throbbing with the stamp of hob-nailed shoes and some 90.000 men were working as one construc ting. Now thes were supplanted by a mere handful, whose objective was directly opposite. Those somber, drab structures, whose attractiveness lives only in memories will be razed and hauled away. The rock-studded foundations will remain as silent reminders of the Camp Funston of war time, the camp of the eighty-ninth division, the monument to the "little fighting Kansas general." There are memories of parents who sent sons here, who never returned. There must be a ghost army march ing up and down these slreets, thru the streets named for their buddies who didn't return. They'll stand final "retreat" tonight, maybe behind "the little fighting general" him self. "Taps" bas been sounded for Camp Funston and the silent army will probably linger till (the last notes die away. TRAINING CENTER FOR THE EX-SERVICE MEN "Washington. Aug. 19. The ques tion of converting Camp Sherman or some other army cantonment into a vocational training center for form er service men also was discussed at length at today's cabinet meeting. It was said that several cabinet members argued that the govern ment now was conducting its reha bilitation work at a disadvantage be cause of a lack of co-ordination and that the result could be much more easily obtained at a central training station. The government's information is that between one hundred and fifty thousand and two hundred thousand men' will need training of this sort and it was said that should Camp Sherman be tried out and the plan found successful, a half dozen other large training establishments of a similar nature might be put into operation in other parts of the country.
