; IN SIXTEEN CAMPS
Shortage of Money, Material,
Labor and Time Causes War
Department to Reduce
Cantonments.
Washington, June l.-Important
revisions in the plan for training the
ar army.haAe been made by the
war department It announced today
that the half million men to be called
to the colors in September will be
concentrated in sixteen cantonments
instead of thirty-two, and that many
of the forces probably would be put
into tents instead of wooden bar
racks. AH of the euard units will-have
been drafted, into service by August
5: That' Joes not mean, however,
that alt will have been ordered to divi
sional training camps at that time.
Presumably the best equipped and re
cruited forces will be made ready first
for duty abroad, but there has been
no-announcement aj to the process to
be followed.
More than 60,000 guardsmen now
are engaged in pclLe work, guarding
bridges, factories and other struc
tures, and that worn will have to be
kept up. . , ,,
-Lack of funds, materiat,-labor ahd
transportation facilities,? Secretary
Raker said, were determining influ
ences in the decision to reduce the
number of cantonments.
t Too Great a Demand.
jThe previous plan-to build-thirty-two
of the camps' was reached, it was
explained, after congress had appro
priated $77,000,000 on the theory that
there would be only sixteen. For a
time the larger number seemed prac
ticable, but that would have made a
much greater demand on the over
taxed resources at the department's
command.
Although the change will upset all
the tentative plans (or camp locations
made by department commanders, it
is not expected to delay beyond Sep
tember 1, the ; tnobiliiation of the
ggeat draft army. Four of the six
teen cantonment sites provided for
under the new pian already have been
selected and choice of the others it
expected soon Secretary Baker in
dfcated that building would proceed
:ji
urn raptuiy as puejiuic.
' Sites Selected.- - .
Tne four sites selected are at Amer
ican Lake, Wash., Atlanta, Ga., Ayre,
Mass., and Wrightstown, N. J.
' A more plentiful supply of canvas
than expected mar! it possible to
put some of the troops under tents.
A canvaa, ohprtage was largely re
sponsible for the original plan to
house-the army in wooden barracks,
for army officials have preferred tent
ing from the start. Most of the tents
used probably will be placed , at
southern amps. . ,
In making the announcement Secre
tary Baker said also that forces in
excess of those which could be cared
for in the sixteen cantonments would
be placed under' canvas. This was
taken as referring to national, guard
divisions, although the militia bureau
has received no instructions in this
regard.
Task Big .One.

If a big, ine. Smiles of roads, water,

construction of thirty-two such cities,
officials feel, would have been, more
than theMsonrc cs of the department
or the country could have borne
without seriously interrupting .the
ordinary tpurse of commercial life;-

Reasonable Wheat Prices
Washington, June 2. Spring wheat
growers of the northwest were as
