WOOD SETS AT REST
RUMORS OF SOCIAL
LINES AT PLATTSBURG
(Special to Gateway by United Press!
PLATTSBURG, N. V., June 3. —
Major General Leonard Wood, com
manding the Department of the East,
wants it made clear that the training
camp which opened here today is for
every American citizen who wishes to
be of aid to his country in case of
war.
He called reporters to his head
quarters to set at rest rumors that
there was or would be, any social dis
tinction whatever shown in recruiting
men for the camp.
“Preparedness,” said Major-Gen.
Wood, “has caught on. So far more
than 2,000 business men and others
have signed for the Plattsburg camp
this year. Among these there are a
great number of college students.
Princeton is leading with the largest
enrollment of the colleges. We ex
pect to have between 20,000 and 25,
000 men here this year.
“The summer instruction camp idea
is favored by many persons who can
not join us. A woman wrote me re
cently offering to pay the expenses of
eight young men at Plattsburg.
“1 have received many letters ask
ing for an opportunity to help in this
way. As two weeks is not long
enough to acquaint a man with tne
necessary training for service, I wish
to urge employers to extend vacations
employees who are at the
camp to a month. This seems the
least time in which to instruct proper
y a man in the duties and require
ments of a soldier.
“The governors of Virginia and
South Carolina appointed committees
in the cities and towns of their State
to organize groups for the camp, and
their representation is large.”
