YOUTHS READY.
ARMY IN EMERGENCY. NEW YORK, Dec. 21. A message from Miami (Florida) states that Mr Robert Fechner, director of emergency conservation work, said the United States has 2,300,000 youths trained in C.C.C. camps and ready to act in a volunteer army in an emergency. They could be turned into first-class fighting men at almost an instant's notice.
“While not militarised in the ordinary sense of the word, their training is such that they are about 85 per cent, prepared for military life,” he said.
