Gen. Lconard Wood an nounced tonight that the government would conduct another along exactly similar lines at Camden, S. C. "This encampment," Gen. Wood said, "will begin probably early in February. It will be for the same purposes and run along the same lines as the one held at Plattsburg. Camden was selected because the en campiment was wanted in the South and we had to select sone place which was not far away froin one of our army posts to march regular troops there conveniently," said Gen. Wood. "The men who attend the Camden encampment will receive trailing in 1111111a'ry calisthenics, rIflel practice, offensive and (lefelsive field work, caip smki itation, trenuch dig ging, signaling and Ilarelilig and in I he general dities of i sol(ier."
