 SHAVING A MAN WITH A STRONG BEARD 



No, a drawing-knife is not the usual implement with which the company barber removes the 

 soldier's beard. But it does help make a fine picture to send to the folks back home 



Camp Upton, is a monument commem- 

 orating- the unselfish devotion of Nathan 

 Hale to his country when General Wash- 

 ington entrusted to him the task of ascer- 

 taining the movements of the enemy. 

 After gathering the information he was 

 betrayed and taken to New York and 

 hanged. His last words were : "I regret 

 that I have but one life to lose for my 

 country." Many a Camp Upton soldier 

 will journey hither and repeat those 

 words in his heart as he dedicates his life 

 to the duties of the present hour. 



Camp Upton is named in honor of Col. 

 Emery Upton, who was born at Batavia, 

 N. Y., in 1839 and was graduated from 

 West Point in 1861. He was three times 

 wounded in the Civil War — at Bull Run. 

 at Spottsylvania Court-House, and at 

 Opequan. For gallant conduct at Win- 

 chester under General Sherman, he was 

 brevetted major general of volunteers. 

 After the Civil War he served as lieu- 

 tenant colonel of the 25th Infantry, Reg- 

 ular Army, and later as colonel of the 4th 



Artillery. He prepared a system of tac- 

 tics for the service, and from 1870 to 

 1875 was commandant of cadets at West 

 Point. His writings pertaining to mili- 

 tary preparedness are classics of their 

 kind. 



CAMP DIX 



Camp Dix, where the National Army 

 from western New York, New Jersey, 

 and Delaware is in training, is located 

 near the town of Wrightstown, N. J., on 

 the Delaware River side of the water- 

 shed that divides the State into east and 

 west Jersey. The elevation above sea- 

 level is approximately 100 feet. 



One would have to travel far to find 

 more beautiful fields or better-kept farms 

 than those which had to be transformed 

 into a training camp for the Jersey and 

 neighboring troops. 



Stretching across the State from the 

 Atlantic Ocean below Sandy Hook to 

 Salem, on the Delaware, and passing 

 through Burlington County, in which
