JUNIOR PLATTSBURG DRAWS MANY PRINCETON STUDENTS

Princeton is strongly advocating the attendance of her undergraduates at the Junior Plattsburg Military Training Camp this summer, and men from many other colleges are enrolled in the list of applicants from which 600 cadets will be selected for three months' training. The camp is planned to provide military instruction for men in the summer, who in the academic year are busy with their studies. It has received the approbation of the President, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of the Navy.

Training at the Junior Plattsburg is divided into four main groups or divisions: Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery and Naval. The camp site, on the shore of Lake Champlain, affords ample room for all the military divisions. The drill grounds are large and of such composition that they are peculiarly adapted to maneuvering with infantry, cavalry and artillery.

All cadets of the infantry arm will mantain their own organization, and will be quartered together. The training in this division, which is to be the largest of the four, will be very intensive during the first few weeks of the camp in order that cadet officers and non-commissioned officers may be selected for the summer. The work will follow the training given at West Point with proper adaptation to the needs of a three months' camp. In addition to instruction in the drill regulations, however, the men will be taught methods of attack and defence in the present war, including the occupation of front line trenches, night patrols and raiding.

Every cadet in the cavalry division will receive about an hour and a half of instruction in riding and hippology each day, and will also take part in troop drill for two hours. This work will be supplemented occasionally by road marches.
