(.'AMI' TITOS'. I.. I . Feb. 24. The war
classic "Over There'' has suddenly tnken
on a new meaning around this camp.
Hver since the first troop trains pulled
Into't'ie npur here on September 10 It has
ben tho really great popular favorite,
but thin was because It had a swing and
a lilt that other war songs have lacked.
Hut to-dy It haei n deeper and surer
slgnlflcince Instead of merely lustily
shouting, "And we won't come back till
It's over ocr there" these boys of New
York' own have suddenly found romc
thing to think about In the lines. For
"the Yanks arc coming," and It's these
very city bos who arc the Yanks.
Probably it was the great parade down
Fifth avenue on Washington's Birthday,
that has accomplished most of this. As
nothing else but definite orders could
have done, this storming and capture of
the city's heart brought homo somehow
the fact that France was not so far or bo
long awav after all.
From th" newspaper reports of the
parade and from subsequent editorials
hailing the National At my men of Camp

were forced through lack of trarxporta

to-night long special trains are pulling

with their tales of conquest.
Next .Mnrc-h Mny De to War.
These boys teallze that In every proba
blllts this was their last march through
the fctreets of New York, except In some
not far distant night when thev will
silently hurry to gray ships tha't will
carry them over seas to the glory of real
fighting Just when this time will really
come is still a matter of conjecture, but
if a hundred rumots and hints tna be
pieced together the result stunds clear
that u month more may see the .Metro
politan Division on Its way
It Is certain that the folks back home,
the mothers and wives and sweethearts
and friends, )1ae not realized this as
yet. It seemed perfectly logical for the
HeguLir Army and for the National
(tiiard to start away to the wats. but
the National Army Ii.ir been so ncil

It is hard to grasp the fart that It stands
near the very front ranks of our fighting
forces,
Kspccially is this true of the Metro

It Is breaking no censorship order to say
that everything point" to tills outfit being
th' first one from the half million
drafted troops to be sent acro. Last

'new slogan of Camp U'pton was "To

by the wonderful parade, ha" only In

that this date Is approximately the cor

worth, the training ground of the Twen-ty-scventh
Division of the Fnlted States
Army, the Federalized National tluard
of New" York State, has evidently met
with favor with tho War Department
and Its development as one of the great
est army training stations In the South
lb liecomlng more and more apparent
with each day's operations.
The arrival here some weeks ago of
Itrlg.-flen. Guy Carleton as commander
of what has become known as the train
ing depot for corps and army troops, fol
lowed by ten other Itrlgadler-i!etiernls
and the necessary Majors, Captains and
Lieutenants to olllcer something like n
score of pioneer regiments, was. the first
Intimation nf the War 1 c partinent's
plans for this camp, but since that tlm
requests for approximately 1,000 acres
of additional land, the arrival of great
stores of lumber and material for camp
construction, together with t ie transfer
last week of six depleted regiments of
the New F.ngland .National Guard from
Camp Greene, Chai lotto, "N. C, to the
Ctmp Wadswortb rc-ervatlon arc ct
dences that sustain the eml-nllli lnl
statement that before many week" more
than HO.OOO troops will be stall mid hen'.
Mtirh Mnrr WnrL hrnif.
It Is generally understood, while thci
Is of course no otllcl.il announcement,
that the contractors who have built
Camp Wadswortb hao before them this
spring practically ns much construction
as they have done during the last sewn
months. Some wteit, ago Major John
D. Kllpatricl; of the New Jersey Na
tional Guard, isinsttuctlng qiiarttrmaa
ter of the present camp, was deslgnati d
constructing quartermaster for the addi
tional work, and Instead of joining his
old forces at Camp McCIellari, Atmlslon.

Hnll Transportation it Problem.
Whether Camp Wadswortb Is going to
have the necessary rail transportation Is
still an open queatlon.
Hut so much for the material phases
of things at Camp Wadsworth, Febru
ary lias brought good weather Ideal
weather, in fact, with otto or two da.Ns
to be excepted and this has thrown the
ttoops Into tho open for the llrst time
since the first week In Deccmlier, when
winter came to stav for two months.
Those two months are looked back upon
as the testing time. The division con
tinued o maintain a good health record,
one of the licst In the country. Hut now,
however, as stated above, the troops are
In the open at.d In their various activi
ties arc scattered over no small terri
tory, from Camp Wadswortb to the ar
tillery range and rifle ranges twenty
six miles northwest.
An IntercMiIng performance Is being
carried on by the machine gun units.
They have :e target range on the camp

reminding one of riveters at work on u

The Hostess House, erected by the
War Work Council of tho Y. W. C. A.
nt Camp Wadswortb and opened two

Catnti Wadsworth Is maintaining Its
health record and showing a decreasing
noli-efTecl it e percentage. The camp'M rec
ord In this respect Is due In large meas
ure to the watchfulness nf the .sanitary
olllccrs. Col. Montgomery, sanitary Irt
I spector. Is perhaps the busiest Individual
I around the whole establishment. He Is
1 getting results, and In n great measute
through his ability to get the men to
understand why cleanliness Is of the first
consideration.
The arrival In catr.i last week of the
six New F.ngland National Guatd regi
ments converted Into pioneer organiza
tions was an event that broke the tnonot-
J ony of things. They iccelvejl a real
welcome and were made to feel that thev
