SURVEY OF THE Moral and Religious Forces IN THE Military Camps and Naval Stations in the United States May 1, 1918 Prepared by the GENERAL WAR-TIME COMMISSION OF THE CHURCHES (Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America) 105 EAST TWENTY-SECOND STREET NEW YORK, N. Y. SURVEY OF THE Moral and Religious Forces IN THE Military Camps and Naval Stations in the United States May 1, 1918 Prepared by the GENERAL WAR-TIME COMMISSION OF THE CHURCHES (Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America) 105 EAST TWENTY-SECOND STREET • NEW YORK, N. Y. PREFACE xN December, 1917, the General War-Time Commission of the Churches published a survey of the moral and religious forces in the National Army and the National Guard camps of the country. This preliminary statement seemed to fill a much-felt need and requests came for the issuing of a more comprehensive survey that should cover the whole field confronting the religious forces in their efforts to serve our enlisted men. This booklet, therefore, aims to be a helpful manual of information for those engaged in directing the war-time work of the various re- ligious bodies. Perhaps it may be of interest to others also as setting forth in a concrete way something of the service that the religious forces of our country are rendering in this time of unparalleled oppor- tunity and need. The effort has been made to present a survey that should include not only all the large military camps and naval stations of the country, but also, so far as possible, the smaller posts. Information in varying degrees of completeness is herein given concerning the 30 National Army and National Guard camps, 165 Regular Army camps, posts and aviation fields, and 46 naval stations, — a total of 241 military or naval posts. Where several such posts center around a single city they are treated together under the caption of that city. The body of material is classified in three sections: first, National Army and National Guard camps; second, large Regular Army camps and naval stations; third, smaller army posts and naval stations. In the third section are grouped posts with less than 5,000 men, many with only a few hundred. The material in each section is arranged alphabetically, according to the names of the towns or cities in which the camps are located. For convenience in using the booklet, an index, with cross- references, is inserted. It is inevitable that in such a survey as this there should be many omissions and mistakes. It is even more evident that this is the kind of information that rapidly becomes out of date. The personnel of workers is changing constantly. It is earnestly desired, therefore, that all to whom this booklet comes and who may be in a position to supplement or to correct any of the information contained herein will send such data to the Committee on Survey of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, 105 East 22nd Street, New York City. Our thanks are due a host of chaplains, Y. M. C. A. secretaries, camp pastors, ministers and others who have assisted in securing this information. Without their hearty cooperation it would not have been possible to make such a survey. Special mention should also be made of the interest shown by the Commission on Training Camp Activities, which has given encouragement to the issuing of this survey and a representative of which has kindly read the manuscript before it went to press.

In the following pages is given certain information concerning small camps about which it has not been possible to secure more adequate data or which are too small to warrant fuller discussion.
