Mock Conflict
Started With
52,000 Men
By JACK BEARDWOOD
CAMP HUNTER LIGGETT,
Calif, June 23.-(iP)-HeavyJ packs
bobbing on their backs, tin hats
resting a jaunty angles on their
perspiring foreheads and heavy
boots plopping rhythmically
through four -inches of dust, sol
diers Monday marched off to a
mock war. -
The boys in khaki are the mal
leable men who have been con
verted from grocery clerks to
machine gunners, from filling sta
tion operators to artillerymen,
from white collar jobs to fatigu
ing tasks of signal, engineer or
communications units.
They range from veteran sol
diers with 25 years service to
selectees with but a few weeks
training.
They are tanned, toughened
men, of whom Lieut. General
John L. DeWitt said in an Inter
view Monday:
The United States army' is
composed today of the highest
type of enlisted men it has ever
had It Is an inspiration to
natch them. ;
"With proper training, proper
equipment and sufficient lead
ership, it han't peer In the
world, no matter' what army
you may select for comparison."
The mock war ' was declared
early Monday morning between
the southern "Reds," made up of
approximately 18,000 troops from
Fort Ord, and the "Blue" army
of 34,000 from Fort Lewis, Wash.
Soldiers have been marching and
trucking to initial positions all
day, eager for their first contact
with the "enemy" sometime TueS'
day.
Over the roads and sun-baked
fields of Hunter Liggett,
the blues moved northwest
ward almost endlessly all day.
Up gulches and through tree
filled meadows they came mar
ching in double files, raising
columns of dust, pausing to cool
their feet .as they walked
through shallow streams.
uewiu pointed out a survey
made this morning showed 2418
officers and 50,405 men were par
ticipating in the biggest military
maneuver ever held in the west.
"For comparison," General De-
Witt said, "that is 10,000 men
more than in both the Union and
Confederate armies when they
battled at Shiloh. If our inform
ation is correct, it is 20,000 more
men than General Wavell had in
Libya when -he drove the Italians
out."
CAMP HUNTER LIGGETT,
Calif, June 23-J!P)-Declaring the

The OPM understood, Church

"If further information should
