ARNOLD’S SON
NOWOFFICER
Cousin of Sidney Anderson Second
Lieutenant in (tegular
Army
I
Lawrence Arnold, son of M. A. Ar
nold, president of the First National
bank of Seattle, and a cousin to Sid
ney Anderson, vice president of the
Hank of Seward, has been commis
sioned a second lieutenant in the reg
ular army, according to word received
by Anderson. Young Arnold was one
of sixty out of 2500 students at an
eastern reserve training camp to get
a regular army commission.
Arnold was a member of the Cor
nell contingent at the camp, a great
many upper class men at the Ithaca
institution having entered the officers’
school. Others in the camp who did
not make the regular army were in
line for appointment in the officers’ re
serve corps.
Many who failed to pass the exam
ination for commission as second lieu
tenant in the regular army were later
made first lieutenantsand even cap
tains in the reserves, according to Ar
nold. He considers himself very for
tunate in getting into the regular
army where he will have experienced
officers over him, and men under him
who joined the army more of their
own will than because of necessity.
Quartermasters
To Be Trained
~ . ..I
War Department Provides Training
for Men of Transport and
Supply Corps
A quartermaster’s corps training
camp is soon to be established. About
11,200 officers from the officers’ train
ing camps now in operation will be
sent to the new camp for additional
training in work for the quartermas
ter’s corps. The camp will also ac
commodate from 10,000 to 20,000 en
listed men, to be formed into quarter
master corps units.
A staff of instructors will be re
quired, and assistant instructors will
be drawn from noncommissioned offi
cers already in the service.
The camp will be used for the for
mation of special and technical units,
such as motor companies, wagon com
panies, stevedore regiments, labor
companies, supply companies, repair
shops, salvage shops, etc.
The camp buildings will follow the
cantonment plans with such variations
as special work will call for.
Several sites are under considera
tion and announcement of choice will
probably be made soon. A tract of
something like 2,000 acres will be re
quired.
The office of the qaurtermaster gen
eral states that no applications for
appointment to the qaurtermaster’s
reserve corps made since April 12 are
being considered. Only those sent from
the officers’ training camps are eligi
ble to become student officers at the
quartermaster’s corps training camp.
