 ing Atlanta, he issued or- 

 ders for all of its people 

 to leave. The civil of-

CAMP TAYLOR 



Camp Taylor, located 

 beyond the city limits of 

 Louisville, Ky., is the 

 training camp for the di- 

 visions of the National 

 Army which will come out 

 of Kentucky, Indiana, and 

 southern Illinois. No part 

 of the camp is more than 

 seven miles from the heart 

 of the city, all of it except 

 the maneuver grounds, in- 

 deed, lying close to the 

 'five-mile line from the 

 center of the town. Its 

 sewerage and water sys- 

 tems connect with those of 

 Louisville and it gets its 

 electric light from there. 

 None of the camps has 

 been laid out with more 

 attention to ideals of city 

 planning than Camp Tay-

 tiful groves of trees and 

 commanding knolls attract 

 the eye. The average tem- 

 perature at Camp Taylor 

 is 57, with 107 as the high- 

 est summer heat on record 

 and 21 below zero as the 

 lowest winter cold. It has 

 an average of 107 days of 

 full sunshine and 118 of 

 unbroken cloudiness a 

 year.
