Jump from their cots In the tents, hurriedly dress and rush for the rnesa tahle. Thus besrins the military day for El Paaoans, who may he the first, as citizens as a whole, to put Into actual practice the proposition of national defense. Camp Practically Certain.

The organization that will mske that possible Is almost certain to be formed, a the men behind the movement are serious minded and determined. Already the matter has been discussed with army officials at Fort Illtsg, who. hlirnly Impressed with the patriotic motive, have expressed a wlll-Immess to co-operate In every way possible. It Is planned to have the organisation perfected In time to hold the camp the last two weeks In October and the first week in November. As goon as the enrollment of business and professional men la rooiplete, the dates of the encampment can be fixed.

In the meantime meeting can be held at the Chamber of Commerce and preliminary lectures (riven by selected army ofrieers. The equipment Tor each man could be furnished him, instruction given In the une or such equipment as, for instance, how to roll the regulation lnrantry pack and the students could even be given ome instructions In the manual of arnn and the nomenclature or the rifle. Preliminary instruction and distribution of equipment nilKht tako as long as two weeks, three evenings a week. However, such would leave everything dear for the beglnnlna of actual camn life to start. nv.

Chas. Foutz Phone 1106. 113 North Stanton the programs of such a nature as to interest the mother and parents of children. The lectures are all on tonic of educational value, anil doubtless each sneaker will lie greeted by large audiences. ATHlilfST could be held on the Sunday afternoon which marks the conclusion of the "camp." While the El Pasoans would be organized at first as Infantry, It is more than probable that the organization would develop Into a battery of artillery, it being argued that such would tend to further strengthen the standing of El Paso as a military entity.

Arter the Infantry organization the army ofrieers would probably arrange to give the El Pssoan a taste of service with cavalry and artillery arms. The last drill period of each day the period Just prior to noon-could be used ror giving instructions in cavalry and artillery drills. Thus, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the men would receive instructions In the elements of mounted drill as cavalry, while on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays they could be given Instruction with the artillery. Furthermore, the army orricera could be depended upon to arrange the drills so as to provide the amount or variety necessary to sustain the interest or the men. The first week would, of course, be the least Interesting, as the El Pasoans would then be learnini the veriest fundamentals, but after that the work would Increase In Interest until In the third week the commanding orricer would probably give them an opportunity to serve with the regular In working out some military problems.

Perhaps It might be possible to allow the El pasoans to participate In a repetition or the battle practice held on the mesa last rail under General Pershing's direction, when actual battle conditions were simulated as nearly as possible and real ammunition was used In tiring, rietalls or ihls character could be sarely left to the military authorities. The factor of time would undoubtedly be a great consideration In conducting such a "camp," but the prime movers In the plan argue that the business men of El Paso ml(rht be able to arrange their affairs as to be able to give the mornings for three weeks, which would only be tho time required. These men would be able to have their luncheons and dinners at home with their families on every day except Sunday. A to lh') matter of expense, each man would have to pay for his own untrorm, but this expenso would be kept down to the minimum. Alsa the expense or the meals In camp would have to be borne by the Individual according to a pro rata basis.

It Is suggested that the Chamber of Commerce and the city might render financial assistance, inasmuch as the organization would be primarily "F.I Paso." With only the breakrasts to he paid for. except on Sunday, when there would be the usual three meals, the cost per man should not be heavy. Arter all Is said, In the event or the or-agnuatlon, Ihe honor would go to El Paso as being the Hrst city In the land to take up the problem or national deronse Which Is even now occupying the attention of the entire nation. This is El Paso's opportunity to he first In a national wow That policy carried out In various other lines has made El Paso what she Is, the most thriving and progressive city or the southwest.
