TWIN CITIES PULL
TO GETCAMP SITE
Announcement of Location
Said to Be Coming From
War Departmcn June
Tenth.
Minneapolis, Minn., June 6. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Unofficial advices
from Washington assert that Major
General Ratty, commander of the
Central department of the army, has
recommended to the War department
at Washington that the cantonment
camp and maneuver grounds for the
division of troops to be raised in the
Thirteenth district be located in the
Twin Cities.
If the War department abides by
the recommendation of General Barry
the first increment of 35,000 troops to
' be raised by draft in Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska and North and South Da
I kola w ill be trained in ramps near the
l'ort duelling reservation, these sites
having been recommended by the
army board appointed to locate sites
in this divisional district.
A couple of days ago it was re
ported the army board was leaning
toward an Omaha site.
The War department is expected to
announce the location of the site
June 10.
Camp officers at Fort Snelling have
not been keenly enthusiastic about lo
cating training camps for the draft
army in this latitude. 1 hey point out
that if rain interferes with officer train
ing as it is doing at Snelling now, cold
weather and snow would hamper the
trainmsr of privates. Thev have ex
pressed a doubt tfllout the government
going to the expense of building a
large cantonment and permitting ii,
000 men and army instructors to re
main idle during the winter months.
Thcv noint out that in the Canadian
camps marching is the only drill that
can be undertaken during the winter
months.
Only twenty instructors remain at
the Snelling student camp. This is
far below the number of instructors
employed in training camps of similar
size in Canada and Europe, and it is
understood an effort will be made to
obtain more instructors for Snelling.

agreement with the British leaders.
The note says:
"It will surprise none that the mar
shal took a preponderating part in
the plan, literally everything which
he advised being adopted. His col
laborates styled him "the godfather
or the American army.
"At a moment when the- first ele
ments of this army are getting ready
to take their place on our trout be
side our allies, the French govern
ment considered it only fitting to con
firm the marshal in his sponsorship.
"The program for this collabora
tion has already been drawn up. Mar
shal Joffre is officially entrusted with
the mission of putting constantly at
the disposal ot our great sister re
public what France has learned in
three years of hard compaigning."

Washington, June 6. Changes in

members of the committee. The bill
will be reported to the house favor
ably by the end of the week.
Extension of the licensing feature
to exporters is considered now, it is
said, to give the government a firmer
control over food shipments to for
eign countries. At present both the
allies and neutrals are buying food in
this country in unreslrictc ' quanti
ties. If the licensing stopp. . at grain
and other food exchanges and boards
of trade the government, it is con

trol foreign buying and could meet
the situation only through operation
of the export restrictions bill, now
pending.
