Camp Building May Delay Mobilization
Washington June 19 Simultaneous construction of 16 war army cantonments each to house 40 000 troops has proved such an enormous task that officials do not believe it can be completed in time to permit mobilization of the first full quota of 650 000 men by September 1. Whether any of the men selected under the draft will be called out before the government is ready to train the entire first quota has not been revealed. It is believed however that even if all cantonments are not complete by September the date for mobilization of accommo dating units may be summoned in advance. Mrs Gomer Griffith of Carlisle street has returned from Pittsburg after several weeks visit.
