TO HAVE ARMY CAMP

It is practically certain that the triangle site in the town of South Bethlehem has been selected as a great permanent federal mobilization camp.

From present indications it is likely that the federal authorities will officially select the site within a few days, which means that 500 engineers will be sent to Albany at once to prepare the camp.

Preparations will be made for 120,000 men, these men constituting four divisions. Later other divisions will be sent to the camp and within a short time it is expected that there will be 250,000 men camped within ten miles of Albany. Almost on the outskirts of the city there will be a city of soldiers over twice the population of Albany.
