The success of the first camp and the pi U IAri WflRKFn OUT Increasing need for the preparation of 1H IH VYCL.U VVUnfXCU UU I civilians as candidates for commissions in the United States Army as empha sized by the War Department resulted in the decision to hold a second camp to which almoBt twice as many men as attended the first will be admitted and at which many branches of military instruction not touched upon at the first camp will be introduced. A limit of 150 men was set for the first camp. The second camp, to cover the period August 3 to 31. is being planned for fihnnt ann mn and the number of ap plications already received indicates 'rom boys "over there" who for- that there will be no difficulty in secur- merly were members of the Portland I News Notes About Personnel of De partment and of Interest to Men Now in KJiaki Are Sent in Monthly "Special."

These subjects were not handled at the. first. The Government's announcement of the central training camps, which are Fire department, Fire Chief B. F. Dow ell has effected a novel scheme through which he sends interesting letters to 40 or 50 men every month. The plan, which is now called the "Biddy Special," is a chronology of events interesting to the men who were former fire fighters covering more than a month. A special Is complied each officially called schools, since the first I month and mailed, after Chief Dowell bummer camp worn at ine university an(j officers and men of the fire de was organised, has increased interest over the Northwest generally In the Summer camp as an institution. The interest of Oregon men especially has been quickened. The central training camp virtually makes the Summer camp a part of the machinery of the Government in transforming civilians into Army officers. Colonel William H. t:. Bowen, mui- partment have : attached their signa tures to the stack of letters. Some of the "Specials" sent out yesterday bore as many as twenty-five signatures, The latest "Biddy.

W, Kent, secretary of the Portland Cater- Association, for. serving a 'mini mum of 10,000 meals at the big Red Cross benefit at The Oaks. Tuesday, August 6. In view of the enormous advance sale of tickets to The Oaks for Red Cross day by the committee of the Ad Club, headed by Sam C. Bratton, Mr. Kent figures that 10,000 meals will be the' lowest that can be counted upon. At the same time the stocks of non- perishable food prepared will be so large that any crowd can be handled and no food wasted. An enormous cafeteria will be erected in the grounds of the amusement park, announced Mr. Kent, after a conference with John t. Cordray, manager of The Oaks, who donated the resort for the benefit, at which every cent of the proceeds will go to the Red Cross. With a complete army organization of colonels and lieutenants, every de tail of the enormous labor of serving the meals Is being worked out by Mr. Kent and his committee. Fish Will Be Donated. Headed by H. L. Camp, president of the East Side Business Men's Club, a committee of that organisation is ar- ranging to furnish tha large food sup plies. A gigantic fish barbecue, from fish to be donated by the Municipal Market, will be one of the features. "So that we can get some line-up on the number of meals and make ar rangements accordingly, we intend to ask the women's clubs to sell 6000 tick ets for meals for us." said Mr. Kent. The Caterers' association has served one big meal after another for these organizations, and now that an oppor tunity for reciprocity has occurred, I am assured that it will be given. Charles Ringler, exalted ruler of the Elks, declared that he will have all de tails of the amusement programme to be offered by the Elks ready for the next meeting of the Oaks Red Cross day committee, which will be held in the ladies dining room of the Cham ber of Commerce tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. At that meeting Frank C. Harneck, chairman of the band committee, who is also president of the Musicians' Mu tual Association, will tell of the con tinuous band music and of the 100- piece band which the association will provide for patrons of the Oaks on Red Cross day. C B. Waters, who will head the Ro- tarian committees, says that every de tail of the Rotary organization Is com pleted and that every concession will be handled so that the public will get the maximum of fun and the Red Cross the maximum receipts. Frank H.
