 WALL scaling: CAMP WADSWORTH 



Many of our National Guardsmen saw active service on the Mexican border during the 

 past year, and they were, therefore, far advanced in the schooling of warfare when the 

 present great emergency arose. Upon entering camp they were qualified to take an intensive 

 training course which was not possible in the National Army cantonments. Thousands of 

 Guardsmen showed such rapid progress under the tutelage of their own officers and of 

 experts loaned by our Allies that they have already entered the "post-graduate schools of 

 war" in the training camps behind the French front lines.
