Show HI CAMP 15 1KHI AHEAD Veto of Army Bill by President Presi-dent Not Allowed to Spoil Plans. SUCCESS IS ASSURED Arrangements Are Now Complete and Work Will Begin Monday. Plans for the training camp at Fort Douglas are going right ahead and there will most certainly be a camp of considerable con-siderable magnitude, said those in charge last night, in spite of the fact that President Wilson yesterday vetoed the army appropriation bill, which made provision for the expenses of transportation transpor-tation of recruits to and from the Fort Iiotiglas camp. Dispatches last night announced that the bill was reintroduced without the objectionable features and has gone to the committee on military affairs of the, house of representatives. The possibilities are that the matter mat-ter of transportation to the local ramp will be clarified today, either bv the passage of the appropriation bill, bv guarantees of the expenses of transportation trans-portation to the secretary of war, or ; 1y the passage of a special resolution making provision for the expenses at the local camp. Attendance Assured. But even though no provision may be made for the camp, and though it may be operated on the same plan as those : at. Plattsburg. Monterey and elsewhere, an attendance of several hundred has v been assured, with the probabilities that there will be but few withdrawals from 'the camp on account of the in- . crease in expenses. ; Even should all appropriations fail it has been estimated that it would cost the recruit only about $30 all told for his training, his board and lodging for i four weeks, and his uniform. Ji the ; camp must start on the same basis as ' those at Plattsburg and Monterey, and i the army appropriation hill should pass ' in the meantime, it is assured that the i expenditures of the attendants at the camp for transportation, etc., will be . refunded. Further word as to the situation in ; "Washington with regard to the bill and to the other suggested means of providing pro-viding for the Fort Douglas camp will be received tomorrow morning. A meeting was held yesterday at the headquarters head-quarters in the Felt building, which decided upon a number of telegrams to persons influential in Washington urging urg-ing attention to the needs of the Fort Douglas camp.
