ARMY CAMP SETTLEMENTS.
*
Fifteen to be Purchased and Twenty
to be Abandoned.
Decision of the war department to
proceed with the purchase of the
sites of 15 army camps and 13 balloon
and flying fields over the country
was announced recently by acting
Secretary Crowell. Less than
s $15,000,000 will be involved, Mr.
Crowell said, and it will not be nec$
essary to await action by congress as
the department now has the necessary
funds.
* With these purchases complete,
the army will have 30 training |
camps, including the original 16
cantonments constructed for the
training of the national army, and 19 ,
* - x ?~ i aL will
aviation centers, must ui ?uan
be in the Southeastern States, Texas
and California. The few fields to be
retained in the norm ^ill be regarded
as summer flying centers only.
Twenty-seven camps and fifteen
aviation fields will be abandoned.
*
Orders already have gone out for
the abandonment of 20 of the camps,
including nearly all pf the national
guard training centers set up after
the United States declared war on
Germany. Construction work on the
-\
27 camps, according to war depart
ment figures, represents a cost of
approximately $100,000,000 of which
$43,000,000 was spent on the four
embarkation cantonments?Mills,
Kfttc York. New Jersey, and Stuart
and Hill, Newport News.
$28,000,000 Expended.
Approximately $28,000,000 has
been spent in construction work on
the ^cantonments to be bought and
-the 15 now owned and it was largely
because of the sum involved the department
decided to go ahead with
the purchase. Most of the 30'camps
are being used as demobilization centers,
but no definite plan's for their
\ employment after the war army is
disbanded have been evolved. It was
explained the whole problem of the
future use of the camps depended
; upon the nation's military policy
and no conplusior> as to that could
be reached until the peace conference
at Paris had rendered its decision
as to world disarmament.
Announcement already has been
made that on*lv two flying fields actually
would be used in training army

purchased or now owned would be%
come1 storage plants for material on
hand or under contract. Location of
the flying caters to be retained
shows a plan to have three general
^ training centers, one in the far west,
one in the southwestern part of the
s t
country and one in the southeast
. with the different fields in each section
close enough together se elementary
and advanced training will !
he provided within a reasonable area.
, Total expenditures on the 19 flying
? t' v and balloon fields to be retained represent
about $30,000,000.
To Buy and Sell Sevier.
Besides the fields to be bought
for military purposes, one other,
Chapman field, Florida, also will be
purchased "for business reasons"
and subsequently sold. The same
procedure will be followed in the
. case of Camp Sevier, S. C., which was
, . ' used as a national guard center. Mr.
Crowell said it was cheaper for the
government to buy this field at the
option price of $597,940 and sell it
I again than to pay the damage claims
^ made against the government as the
result of the building of the camp.
. The total amount spent on Camp
Jackson at Columbia has been $10,
000,000. The purchase price, on a
basis of options previously taken,
will be $625,000.
Camp Wadsworth, which cost $4,100,000;
is to be abandoned.
GETS CROIX DE GUERRE.
i Laurens Negro Soldier Decorated by
the French.
Laurens, April 13.?Arthur Floyd,
a negro soldier with the 271st infantry
regiment, which -was recently demobolized,
has received from the
Frenfch Government the Croix de
Guerre and bronze star for conspicuous
and courageous services.. The
war cross and citation were received
through the American War Department,
as Floyd has been 'in a hospital
since he was seriously wounded in the
Argonne forest last September. His
home address is Laurens, Route 6.
He is now at Fort McPherson in a
hospital, as his leg, which was shattered
in two places by shell fire, has
not entirely healed. It is said that
Floyd, who was a corporal, was sent
out with seventeen men, including
several French soldiers, for the purpose
of clearing a way to a German
nest, and while making this exploit
the souad was exDOsed to a terrific
machine gun fire, but remained at
their work until a number were killed
and the corporal evacuated. So
far as known locally, Floyd is the
only negro soldier from this section
that has been honored with the
y French war cross.

No Worms in a Healthy Child
All children troubled with worms have an unhealthy
color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, improve
the digestion, and act as a General Strengthening

throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
