No one who wsnt to the camp placed himself under obligation to g0 to war or do'other military service. The as- sumption of those who fathered the undertaking was that many of the young men would be found ready to act as officers of future volunteer regi- ‘ments and of the regullr reserve of the “|army. \ 'During the peried of instruction, {which /lasted -for six weeks, “all the Brass button frills were cut 6ut'and the work ‘was made to resemble, as 'nearly #8 possible, the actual ‘conditions of ‘war. “One hundred and 'sixty men at- tended, the ayerage age being nineteen. The war department detailed one battalion‘of infantry, one:troop of cav- alry and ione company ‘of 'the signal corps to serve a8 instructor of the stu- {@ents. A detachment of the medical corps was detailed to look after the health of the camp and treated the etu- dents so far like the regulars under their charge that typhold serum and small- pox vaccine were administered without charge. There was this difference, that neither vaccination hor inoculation was compuléory. The majority of the Yyoung men, however, underwent both treatments, suffering, so it was report- ed, no ill effects except. a temporary soreness of the arm in a few cases. ‘The work consisted primarily.of the study of the duties and principles of infantry service, though the other branches were, not neglected. In the morning there were three hours of driil and one hour of lectures, given by various officers at the camp and occa- sionally by such high placed military personages as Major General Leonard Wood, then chief of staff, and Major General Barry, thén commanding the department of the east. Some of the, lecture subjects were: “Conflict of Infantry,” “Signal Corps, “Use and Duty of Field Artillery,” “Foreign Military Policles,” “Use of Cavalry,” “Benefits of Military Train- ing,” “Causes of War,” “Military His- tory,” “Civil War,” “Commencing Mili- tary Training,” “Personal Hygiene,” .{had a map. reading class—that. is. the “The Army League” and “The Care of the Wounded.” Afternoons were spent in bayonet and broadsword exercise, cavalry and artillery drills. and practical road sketching and topographical map mak- ing.

I love adventure. I knew my business. Most of the men fliers 'were needed at the front in strictly military reconnoissance work. There were comparatively few avia- tors available for guarding Paris. I told the military government I wanted to do my part. They told me that T could not be entered upon the army rolis; that T could not have any offi- clal position, but that I might work privately. So from the day the War began I was in the air practically ev- ery day, sometimes arising early in the morning and scouting for hours, some- times flying in the afternoon or late evening. I had the good fortuns on numerous occasions to detect taubes on their way to visit Paris, and I was able to descend and warn the aviation corps commanders so that they had ample time to send up squadrons and fight off or frighten away the invad- ers. “T am sorry 1 cannot, say that the Germans shot at me. But I never let their fliers get close enough to shoot at my machine or to drop bombs on me. I circled around and around. keeping watch with my glasses, and the in- stant 1 detected a German machine I darted to earth and gave warning. Usually I flew at a height of from 1,500 to 2,000 meters, but sometimes I had to go much higher Qgcause of fogs and mists that velled the lower altitudes.” Mile.
