Roots, Arkansas, and Fort Riley, Kansas, being dropped from the list, and Plattsburg Barracks, New York; Fort Niagara, New York; Fort Snell ?n(r, Minnesota, and Fort Sheridan, Illi? nois, added. The Fort Myer, Virginia; Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia; Fort Benja? min Harrison, Indiana; Presidio, San Francisco, and Leon Springs, Texas, designations remain unchanged, but a lea.'sigr.ment of state personnel among the various camps has been ordered. Three Forts Objectionable "Some of the locations originally or? dered are objectionable for various rea? sons, said a report transmitted to Sec? retary Bakei by Adjutant General Mc? Cain. "P*ort McPherson is already over? crowded and has noor facilities for training camp work. Fort Logan H. Roots is decidedly unsuitable and will be rendered more so in view of the large cantonment to be constructed at that j place. Fort Riley, Kansas, is objec I tionab!? because of the scattering of the building? devoted to the training camp; furthermore, it is to become a large cantonment. "The elimination of these three points as desirable training camp loca? tions necessitates a change in the orig? inal plan. The new plan is better suited to existing structures. No new con? struction is required. Men in training ? camps will be much less crowded than at present. The more Northern point? may experience unfavorable weather in November, but this is more than offset by the more favorable conditions that will exist during August, September and October." The assignment of state quotas un? der the new plan follow?: At Plattsburg Maine, New Hamp? shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, P.hode Island, Connecticut, New York and Con? gressional Districts 10 to 28, inclusive, of Pennsylvania. At Fort Niagara The remaining dis? tricts of Pennsylvania. At Fort Myer New Jersey, Delaware. Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia.

Clip as Well as Knit, Slogan of Navy League Comforta Committee to Send News to Men on Ships Washington. July 22.--"Clip as well as knit for the sailor and marine!" is now the slogan of the comforts tarn ! mittee of the Navy League of the ' United States. The league is going to Veep the sailor and marine, sent over the ?eas to battle for civilization, in touch with hi? "own heme town," or at least so far a? pos? sible in touch with events in the United States, by sending him regularly clip? pings of every sort and description from magazines and newspapers. This work was initiated by and is now under the direct supervision of Captain C. H Harlow, U. S. N.. who has his office with the comforts committee headquarters of the Navy League of the United States in this city. His idea is to surplomer.t the comfort out? fits knit by patriotic women of the coun? try, through the comforts committee of the Navy League, with clippings from newspapers and magazines, arranged in booklet form, which would be of inter? est to the men on board ship. Clubs for this kind of work are being formed throughout th? country to work in cooperation with the comforts com- J mittee in Washington. Dismissed Plattsburg Men Offered Positions _ IB?
