anil these were planted, ready for the sills
of the various buildings.
First a few carloads at a time, then
trulnloads of lumber, sewer and water
pipe, portable saws, scrapers, ditching ma-
chines, cement, sand, roofing and all or
the different material began to pour into
the ever open maw of the cantonment. In
the meantime the construction force has
been increased from 2,000 men to approxi-
mately 0.000 and they could handle twice
the material if it could be found. Water
BVHtems were held up because of the lack
of pipe. Lumber failed to arrive on sched-
uled time, or a few hours thereafter,
and carpenters were laid off temporarily.
A mil! ,»n feet of lumber was purchased
through the San Antonio Lumber Dealers'
Association and for two or three days an
almost endless stream of wagons, trucks
and trailers poured into the cantonment,
bringing the much needed lumber. That
relieved the situation for a short time.
About this time Washington decided that
Camp Travis should have a base hospital,
consisting of fifty-four or fifty five build-
ings. costing upwards of $000,000. There
was 110 trouble about that. Colonel Thome,
construction quartermaster, opened his
mail one morning and there was an order
to build the hospital, and complete it ahead
of stables or an.v buildings except those
to be occupied bv the drafted men. An-
other hurried conference with the ^5tone &
Webster executives and he replied that it
would be readv bv the time it was needed.
It began to look as though one or two
more such "jolts" would spoil everything,
and the job would not be finished on time.
There were upwards of 8,000 men on the
payroll by this time and the weekly pay-
roll of the construction company was up-

failure in any way,
shape or manner, no one would have ever
known what caused it. Such Is the way
of the army. Hut It was a success and
a huge one.
I'nder the direction of Colonel Thorne,
buildings began to spring up within twen-
ty four hours, like toadstools in one's
front yard. One day there was a waste of
hot sand. The next barracks, complete
except for water and electricity adorned
the spot. Colonel Thorne was the man
of the hour. On the job with the break of
day, and one of the last to leave, he re-
garded the time from daylight to darkness

necessary work. That is, the necesssary

lie would leave the camp with something
requiring serious consideration still "in
the air," but when he returned to his of-
fice early next morning, his mind was
made up, and so far as anyone knows who
watched the entire course of construc-
tion most closely, he was never wrong.
Action, action, action! That is what he
wanted and demanded.
Now a consultation with construction
heads, now a conference with some of the
Government engineers in charge of instal-
ling the sewer and water system and then
again a hurried trip to a distant part
of the cantonment to find out why the
construction there was falling a few hours
behind. A building every twenty minutes
Is speed, arid that Is what he must turn
out.
When worked started the program called
for an expenditure of about $5,000,000, and
a city of more than a thousand buildings.
Hut as the weeks passed, new departures
in the army personnel and organization
made it necessary for the character of the
camp to be changed slightly. Then came
the hospital order, then came another or-

was generally a task of not more than
a few hours to spot them and "tie the

It was the middle of August when the,-- -
War Department started to ask questions. ! a book that Is still authority
Colonel Thorne had been given Instructions ! On his return from Alaska lie was de-
I tailed to West Point as an Instructor.
! Later he became military attache to Rus-
sia and later still, at the court in tier-
tlve State, at the Peekskiil Academy and
at the Georgetown University. He later
entered West Point, being graduated in
1882.
In 1885 General Allen went on a trip of
exploration of the Interiors of Alaska for
the Government. He penetrated farther
than any white man had ever gone up to
that time. He wrote "The Reconnaissance
of Copper, Tannana and Keyukuk Rivers,"
to have the cantonment ready for occu-
pancy by September 1 and the depart-
ment wanted to know whether he was go-
ing to make good.
The wire he sent back was brief. Tolls
of It couldn't have been very much. "Camp
Travis will be ready to receive men Au-
gust 25."
That was all. but it was enough. Every-
thing looked mighty good but In the mean-
tin e the army had been reorganized. A
company consisted of 250 men instead of
150. The size of th
sequent I y much larg
tors were needed and the barracks that
had been constructed were too small.
Plans were forwarded from Washington
showing how the barracks should be re-
constructed to accommodate 250 men. The
brigades would consist of but two regi-
ments Instead of three and many other
things were changed.
Colonel Thorne was about ready to take
over his office division quartermaster,
having received the ippolntment shortly
after the arrival of Maj. Gen. Henry T. Al-
ien as commanding officer of the 90th Di-
vision. Rut when all the plans for re-
building arrived, he had to continue as
Construction quartermaster. Today he holds
both jobs, although his entire rime is
devoted to construction work.
There are new barracks under course of
construction to shelter tt.OOO men and the
hospital is practically completed, addi-
tional warehouses are nearing completion
and when all of tlicxe buildings are com-
pleted the .amp will be finisiied. for the
time at hast.
Altogether the cantonment has cost the
Government upwards of $0,000,000 for con
struetion. but the city to house 50,000 men
has been built, as I nele Sam promised
San Antonio. Not only that, the men,
drawing nearly fi'.ooo.noo monthly are on
the ground and are spending the majority
of this money in the city. Some of It, of
course, is being sent to relatives or being
fcaved. but San Antonio is benefiting.
The buildings constructed bv Colonel
Thorne will stand In good repair practi-
cally without attention for twelve or thir-
teen years If Uncle Sara continues his

At Santiago he was a major and during
the Philippine campaign, served as adju.
tant general.
In 1001 he was appointed goyerner of

More officers' quar- J 7.000 Filipinos were organized with Amer-
ican officers. The organization was then
distributed over the islands and order
maintained.
By act of Congress in 1005. General Allen
was made a brigadier general and chief of
the native constabulary. His service rec-
ord with this organization shows a series
of brilliant feats cleverly and successfully
executed.
As senior military member of the mis-
sion sent to Europe under Assistant See-
retary of War Breckenrldge In September,
1014, General Allen was sent with $2,000,-
000 with which to relieve war-bound Amer-
icans. All of this was by special act of
Congress.
The members of the mission traveled
throughout Europe, reaching Paris when
the Germans were hammering at the very
gates. He followed the reflex action and
was an observer at the battle of the Marne.

rest of the men of the 00th Division are
clinking knives and forks, he mounts one
of his favorites and goes for at least an
hour's and more often, two hour's ride.
Rain or shine, it makes no difference. Then
breakfast and then to his office at division
headquarters.
Throughout the day unless called away
by business of some sort, he sits at an
ordinary flat topped desk, reads orders
from Washington, give." instruatlons as
to their application at Camp Travis, has
conferences with his staff officers, spends
two or three hours some ttane during the
day talking over the progress made by the
men with the different brigadier generals
and on top of it all, finds ?lme to see
everyone Who has business with him.
Between General Allen and everyone who
wants to shake a real-honest-to-goodness
general by the hand, is a barrier, in the
person of Capt. Walter Moore, his per-
sonal aide, but if the man or woman has
anything that can be termed business, he
or she speedily finds his or her way to the
general's desk. He always greets a stran-
ger with a smile, which, by the way. is
the most winning sort of a smile. And
anyone who has "bothered" General Allen
before, gets just as friendly a smile.
General Allen is a most energetic worker
for the welfare of the soldier. Anyone
with a plan for entertaining the "boys"
as he affectionately speaks of the enlisted
men. can always find an audience with
the cantonments commander.
"There cannot be too many people in-
terested In the welfare of our soldiers."
said General Allen not lone ago. after rep-
resentatives from at least a half dozen so-
cieties for welfare work had been in to
see him. "We will find time to help any-
one who really has the welfare of the men
at heart, and we'll surely find time to
chase anyoue out of camp who tried to
exploit the soldiers."
All in all. ueneral Allen can rightly be
termed a fine type of the most desirable
American. Patriotic, a* hard worker, with
no interests in his mind or heart but those
of his country and "boys," he deserves
the recognition which has been accorded
him In placing him in command of .r»0,000
of the men and boys near and dear to the
hearts of all Texans.

somewhat secluded part in the preparation
of the United States forces. Acquired

a maneuvers and training eround. It re

approximately 17.000 additional acre*, to

So well was It found adapted for train-

of (ten. John W. Ruckraan. present com
mander of the Southern lH>partmeut. two
additional training camps for officers will
be held there They will be known as the
third officers' training camp, being a com-
bination of the camps originally ordered
for Fort Sam ilonston and for Fort Bliss
at El Paso.
In connection with the training camps,
the reservation has had constructed upon it
some of the most interesting military work
about San Antonio. Extensive trench work
has been carried on in the various stages
of the war training and prove a great
source of wonder and entertainment to vis-
itors.
The trenches are constructed in two sec-
tions facing each other, with a "no man's
land" between them. The trench work
varies all the way from Mnail protecting
banks such as can be hastily thrown up
with entrenching tools, to an elaborate sys-
tem of zigzag trenches, shelters and dunr-
oota. Forbidding looking b-irb-wire en-
tanglements are included in the Imitation
battlefield where many a student officer
has gained the practical experience that
prepares him for the supreme moments
"over there."
Eleven barracks buildings, company
kitchens and mess halls and a series of of-
ficers' quarters and frame headquarters
building make up the training camp prop-
er. with a hospital on the overlooking hill.
The Y. M. C. A. bulkiing and exchange are
close to the hospital. Beyond the train-
ing camp barracks are the cantonment
buildings erected for the other organisa-
tions ar the reservation, which includes two
regiments of field artillery that are getting
their mar practice on the hills of the reser- s
vation with the occasional assistance of air- j
planes from Kelly Field
Signal Corps battalions occupy still an-
other part of the reservation, designated
as Camp Morse, in honor of the telegraph
InVenter. The work carried 011 at th" Sig-
nal Corps camp lias largely been .>ecr»t.
This camp, Ilk', the undent officers' train-
ing camps, had a full eleven weeks' course.
The 57th Infantry recently occupied an-
other part of the reservation, tenting near
the officers' training camp. This organi-
zation row has gone to the border, reliev-
ing Tctuh troops that are joining the Na-
tional Guard camp at Fort Worth.
A quartermaster detachment and Re-
mount Station No. 3 are other occupants
of the military reservation, while, until re-
cently, a detachment of Engineers has been
on the reservation completing the military
road.
This road, connecting the Blanco Road
with the Fredericksburg Road throuffh the
reservation, was ordered constructed by the
late General Funston while he was in com
mand of the Southern Department, and so
bisects the reservation that all parta are
readily accessible by motor truck. Inci-
dentally. the military road forms a con-
nection that offers San Antonio motorists
a 50-mile loop drive, including along the
way some of the most beautiful s<-enery in
the county. A deep cnt thronga a limestone
hill Just after the road leaves the Blanco
Road is its principal feature. Beyond that
ths road winds by gentle grades through
the mountainous part of the reservation.
In the leased section work now is going
forward in preparation of the target range.
It is on these that the men of tne »0th Divi-
sion at ('amp Travis will learn how to
shoot, and how to shoot effectively at vari-
ous distances.
At one time reported scarcity of water
almost led to its abandonment for military
purposes, hut under the direction of Capt.
Charles Abel. q. M. C- a plentiful supply
has been found at shallow depth, assuring
wster enough for all possible requirements.
A large monolithic reservoir has been
completed this year on the reservation and
forms the supplv which flows from it bv
gravity to the various buildings and sta
tions. A complete sewerage system is an-
other of the recent Improvementa at the
reservation, the two helping greatly to
facilitate the operation of large camps.
