TRAINING CAMP AT PLATTSBURG AGAIN Government Officers Will be in Charge Plattsburg, New York, will again be the scene of great military activities in the sum mer of 1918. Although the government summer training camps have all been abandon ed since the declaration of war, private initiative acting upon the suggestion of Major General Leonard Wood led to the establishment last year of the Junior Plattsburg.

The honorary presi L,rt is President Edmund J. Tares of the University of Il 'iois; the advisory board con-, sists of twenty-five college and 'niversity presidents, repre $er ting leading institutions -in all parts of the country, head ed by representatives of the army and navy in the persons of Colonel Tillman, superin tendent of the U.
