UNIVERSITY HAS LARGEST ENROLMENT AT PLATTSBURG

The University leads all colleges in the East in total enrolment for the Plattsburg camp this summer, according to the figures prepared by G. S. Connolly of the New England enrolment headquarters. The total enrolment was 6,277 men up to and including May 1. Of this, 4,000 are either college or high school graduates. The University's representation of 731 men is the largest number enrolled from any one college. More than three fourths of this total, however, are graduates; the undergraduates numbering 185. The Princeton undergraduates enrolment doubles that of Yale, but the alumni enrolment from Yale greatly exceeds that of Princeton.

Six other colleges in the East have enrolments exceeding 100, counting both graduates and undergraduates. These are Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ranking in the order named.

Training at Plattsburg Outlined.

An outline of the Four Weeks' Course of Instruction given at Plattsburg under the Direct Supervision of United States Army Officers follows:

Instruction Memorandum.--The day's work is divided into three periods: the first from 7.45 to 10.45 o'clock is used in drill; the second, from 11 to 12 o'clock, is given over to drill or theoretical work; and the third, from 1 to 4 o'clock, is devoted to voluntary work in cavalry, artillery, infantry tactics, signalling, or topographical sketching. Each man elects any one of these branches of service for afternoon's work, and after making his selection, reports every afternoon to the United States officer in charge of that particular branch of work.

Note.--The optional work is held every afternoon during the second week's training, from 1 to 4 o'clock.

Third Week.

This week is largely devoted to range firing at 200, 300, 500 and 600 yards. Both slow and rapid fire at 200 and 300 yard ranges are used. The time that the companies are not on the range is devoted to close and extended order drill. The optional work in the afternoons is continued during this week.

Fourth Week.

For the end of the third and all of the fourth week, the entire training regiment goes on a ten day's hike. The conditions are such as would be met in case of actual war. The regulation infantry equipment is worn by each man, and the regiment engages in a sham battle every day with the United States regulars. Each man is supplied with blank cartridges; and artillery, machine guns, and armored motor cars are used in these manoeuvres.

The tactical problems worked out during the day, the reason for the different attacks, flanking movements, etc., are explained each evening by the company commanders.

This program of instruction will be carried out at Fort Ogelthorpe and at western and middle-western training-camps as well as at Plattsburg.
