STATE SOLDIERS BOMBARD NATURE TOMAKE A CAMP gee National Guardsmen Doing Marvellous Things at Camp Whitman. PLOUGHING UP HILLS. Seventy-First of New York and Second of Troy Expected in Camp To-Morrow. (Bpecte! From _a Sta Correepo ‘of The Evening World.) GAMP WHITMAN, BEPKMAN, W. Y. June 4—Nover tn the history of the New York National Guard were auch labors performed as are under way to-day to put thie ooncen- tration place in condition for the ar- rival of troops to-morrow. Wvery soldier in the camp te under the greatest tension, and uncomplaining. ly, with little relief, the army of eftisen soldiers is hewing into the rocky hills, boring into the earth, pounding the formerly hopeless roads {nto smooth, military highways, lay- | ing miles of pipe, cutting down trees and performing @ hundred and one other tasks that would make the @even jobs of Mr. Hercules seem but baby play. The Seventy-first Infantry of Man- hattan will be tn camp to-morrow, and 60 will the Second Infantry, from Troy. The camp must be in shape for the reception of the troops, and the dictum has gone forth from the Empire State war lords that nothing must interfere. Upon Col. Lucas of the Twenty-second Engineers and his men devolves the great task, ‘The lack of water has been the greatest of problems before the camp builders, but water must be had at iny cost, and shortly after dawn nis morning niles about the hamlet of Green- javen was shattered with the blasts of the explosive squads as they sought the precious liquid. The hills are reverberating with crashes of the explosions and the upshooting geysers of mud, sand, rocks and shattered seen for miles. It is their first taste of war, but it is war with nature, no mere mortal antagonist FINE WORK BY THE ENGI- NEERS. Col. Lucas and his aides are here, thero and everywhere, blasting operations, road makin, laying and tank erecting. inspiring. boys drawn but a few days ago from the marts of trade in the world’s greatest metropolis, taken soft and eltyfied and hurled pell mell into this God forsaken stretch of hilla and dales and ordered to build a city that will tenant a host of 20,000 or more, and to accomplish this miracle in a few days. And they will win, these stalwart young patriots. They are in deady earnest now, as they will be in deadly earnest when they are called to face @ foreign foe. Camp Whiiman is ina feverish state of excitement, this condition of af- fairs having been precipitated by the news that reached tho camp late yesterday afternoon that the New York boys were to be sent immedi- ately to the border, The early reports had it that the guardsmen were go- ing to-morrow or the next day et the furthest, As the news swept through the camp the youngstera ceased their work and gathered In groups to oheer themselves hoarse, A detail of soldiers from the Sixty- ninth that had been building a road alongside the camp dropped its picks and shovels and started back to thelr tents to seize rifles and hike for the border. “On to the border!" they cried, as they slapped each other on the back. Later, Lowever, the nows came that the troops would not bo sent to the border until they had been trained {n concentration camp for at least two weeks, but this did nut Pipe It 1s awo- daunt their ardent spirits in the slightest.
