Greenville, Oct. 20.-Scarcely more than three months of government oc cupation have transformed the govern ment reservation of 2,000 acres north east of Greenville from forest and cul tivated land into a scene of activity and orderliness. Where forests stood there are now broad parade grounds; where there were cultivated fields are now rows on rows of tents and mess shacks. For almost a month the former Na tional Guard of Tennessee, North Car olina and South Carolina has been en camped here and tomorrow the last of the selectmen, 10,000 In numiber, which are to be sent to Camp Sevier will have arrived. This movement will in crease the strength of the Thirtieth Division to about 24,500. With practically all the soldiers who are to form this division in camp training will begin on a scale and with an intensity which has not before been attempted. LAng hikes, Work in the trenches, attacking "(dummy Germans" with tIe bayonet. and other drill, to fit the soldiers for trench warfare, will be the order of the day. 1xperts onl all phases of warfare will be sent to the <hmps by the war department and they will supervise the traIning to some extelit.
