That Fayetteville now nas -mo than an even chance J-o land one of the biggest camps to be estaDiisiieu k flip United States army during the wrnr was brought out at a meeting of th membprshiD of the Chamber of Commerce last night. Ihe meerms following an inspection of the land available m the vicinity ot tnis cr. by an army board, and was tor rae purpose of getting down to work on the tremendous task of securing op tions on 25 square miles ot lana. The camp for which tne war ne partment is seeking an available site is for a machine gun school of fire, to be in the nature of a finismng sen. oi foi men assigned to the handling of the all important machine gun. ,The site must be large enough to accom modate an average of 40,000 men and five or six ranges not less than five miles in length, as the machine gun is deadly at that distance. Each squad will remain in training from 60 to 90 davs. to be succeeded by an equal number of men, thus keeping the population of -the camp up to 40, 000. While the encampment, owing to the large number of men to be sta tioned in it, it will be more than usu ally attractive proposition, the con ditions to be met, on the other hand, ae so exacting that few cities can hope to make good- on them. One hundred and sixty-five tho s;,nd acres of land must be obtained, an adequate water supply for 40.000 m.n must be at hand, and the ter rain must consist of mile after vniie of perfectly level surface, suitable for a rapid fire range, and must be sparsely inhabitated that little in convenience will be wrought by the taking over of the land by the army. The city will have to see that em ployment is secured for those persons whose homes are removed from the site. The expense incident to the se curing of - the options on the land alone will be something like $2,000. The options will be for two years and will be made out on the government's own option forms. Some idea of the magnitude of the encampment and range is obtained from the fact that the site under con. sideration begins three miles from Fayetteville's water filtration plant at Glenville- and ends in Hoke coun ty. The camp to be established will be a icantonment, composed of wood en buildings entirely. This land on which the cantonment will be erect ed must be furnished free by the city getting the camp. The government will pay for the leases on the land for the range. Fayetteville business men already have in hand more than enough land for the cantonment site, options on 10,000 acres having been secured for A CHILD HATES OIL, CALOMEL, PILLS FOR LIVER AND BOWELS indictments for conspir- r.iif.i.
