The officers Of the volunteer force
will rank after the officers of the
same grade in the regular army.
As soon as the volunteers are mus
tered in all association between
officers and men will cease, no mat
ter how friendly they may have
been before. Should they persist
in associating together it leaves the
officer open to court martial for
conduct prejudicial to good order
and military discipline. During
war the rules and regulations are
very severe and must be obeyed to
the letter. Every breach of the ar
ticles of war is punished very Sc
verely and most offences, which
would ordinarily pass with light
sentence, means a sentence of death
in time Of war.
The articles of war provide that
any soldier who strikes an officer
or disobeys his command will be
sentenced to death, or such other
punishment as the courtmartial
decide. Any officer or man who
shall mutiny or incite others to dc
50, or who does not use his best
efforts to prevent mutiny, shall
suffer death.
Another article provides that
"any officer or soldier who misbe.

runs away, or shamefully aban-
dons any fort, post or guard which
which he is commanded to defend
or speaks words inducing others tc
do the like, or casts away his arms

suffer death or such other punish

rect"
The articles also provide tha'
any officer or soldier who shall
give the watchword to any person
who is not entitled to it, shall suffel

All of the articles are strictly en-
forced, and there are many Others
which are also provided for. Every
action of the soldier in time of wa
must be governed by the army reg
ulations, or he may do something
which lend to his being sentenced
to death. The rules, stern as the,
are, must be enforced in order t.
insure perfect discipline and to pro

Prominent Citizens Indorse The Calls Plan to Aid the
 Local Society.
Business Men Generally Believe a Properly Managed Entertainment Would Prove
 Great Aid to the Work

The Calls movement for tho estab- fishing of a local fair in aid of Red Cross work is meeting with great sue cess. Representative citizens say it is the most practical way that a fund could be raised for the worthy purposes encompassed in the plans of the Red Cross workers.
 It is the general opinion that fair that would at once entertain the people and give a fund to this worthy cause would be welcomed by the public at large. It would prove instructive as well as popular, while the practical fea- lures would result in the realizing of a large sum of money.
 The following opinions of we'll known citizens, supplemental to the express sions of yesterday, will give a fair idea of the way the idea strikes the masses Of thoughtful persons:
 J. RICHARD FREUD of the Mer- chants Association-The generous treatment of the soldiers from various parts of the United States by the Red Cross has won the admiration of peo- ple all over the country. Nowhere has

there been a more spontaneous out burst of hospitality than has been ex- ended by members of the local society. Any practical method of increasing the limited funds of the society will be vel comed by citizens of this State. The suggestion of a fair for this purpose is probably the best plan for securing the necessary funds.
 l.. R. ELLERT-I cannot see a single fault in the plans advocated by The Cal. I think the matter should be at ended to at once. The thing necessary s for some one to get at it in real earnest. Newspaper articles alone will lot do it, but there must be executive management and action. Newspapers often urge good things and then drop .hem. Some one must take the re- sponsibility and organize the matter. Will it be done by the Red Cross, the people or the paper? It is a good idea. anyhow. and some one should see that { is not dropped. By all means let the ,und be raised.
 PRESIDENT CHARLES l.. BAR RINGTON of the Board of Education The School Department has aided the Red Cross in all it's efforts to raise funds. The John Swett School real .zed a neat sum for the Red Cross workers, and we stand ready to do more. I indorse the ideas advanced by The Call and hope to see them put into effect.

Treasury Department Views With Di5favor the Temporary Trans
 fer of American Vessels.

Assistant Secretary Spaulding of the Treasury Department at Washington has issued a circular which will prove to be more than ordinarily interesting to own CTS of vessels, particularly during the continuance of the war between the United States and Spain. The communi- cation begins as follows:
 Sir: Replying to your letter of the 2d inst. in which you state: Being the owner of know If, during the present trouble with Spain. we should put vessels under the English register, could we, the return of peace, have American register given to the yes sells again?'' ! have to say that Section 4165, Revised Statutes, amended by section 10 of the act of March 3, 1S97 reads: "A vessel registered pursuant to law which by sale has become the property of a foreigner, shall be entitled to a new register upon afterward be coming American property. unless 1t has been enlarged or undergone change in build outside of the United States.
 After quoting the law on the subject the Secretary proceeds to say:
 You are aware that the conditions created ordinary conditions of peace in many conner cial transactions.
 You will observe that the protection of a neutral flag Is conditioned op the bona fdes of the sale to a neutral, and your letter seems to indicate that the sale of your vessel is to be conditioned on a resale to you at the close of the
 According to practice the Department must decline to make a ruling on the question you ask until specific case requiring its action is submitted. These considerations, however, and time and resorting to the protection of an alien nation, the possibility that the right of that protection will be denied by Spanish yes sells or refused by the nation to which you may apply and the extent of danger of capture real or imaginary, brought to your atten- tion matters which may govern your action

the general committee. It is a Christ ian work to assist in bettering the con- dition of the soldiers, and every one will assist in that good work. The fair should be held, for it means thousands of dollars, to be distributed where they will do the most good.
 H. EPP1NGER, president of the Pro- duce Exchange-We are heartily in ac- cord with the movement suggested by The Call. The members of the ex- change are in favor of anything that will contribute to the comfort of those who have gone out to fight for Old Glory. Let the fair be opened and the members of the Produce Exchange will do all that is possible to make it a grand success.
 c. A. HOOPER of Hooper & Col am glad to see The Call has taken the initiative in the matter of holding a fair for the benefit of the Red Cross Society. I am in favor of anything that will tend toward the help of the men who have given up their homes and positions to fight for the flag of our country. I am willing to assist in every way possible toward making the fair a grand success.

partment of the United States army against the merchants of this coast seems to have caused these officials to assume the defensive; also to give a little "taf- ". After meeting of the big commer- cial bodies of this city a few weeks ago a resolution was sent to the Pacific Coast representatives at Washington asking them to call the injustice to the atten- ton or the proper department. The res olutlon has brought out this reply, which has just been received by the Chamber of Commerce:
 WASHINGTON. June g.
 lion George c. Perkins: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th inst, also copy of resolutions adopted at a Francisco wherein it is claimed unjust dis crimination has been made against the Pacific In reply beg to call your attention to the letter rom this office of the 26th ultimo upon the subject. and to state that so far as shoes are concerned this department wired San francisco to know what could be had for i'm mad mmediate delivery for troops about to leave for delivery Of about 5000 shoes, about standard weight but with brass screws As brass use of troops a sufficient supply to meet the existing emergency was forwarded from stock on hand at Philadelphia and Chicago
 In regard to the matter of furnishing supplies generally, 1t should be stated that so far from the Pacific Coast being discrimlnated against. 1t has been most liberally treated. Many regi, ments raised In the East are being equipped on the Pacific Coast. The excellent facilities amounts of supplies are appreciated, and this department Is taking advantage of them to the fullest extent practicable. Respectfully,

 This is all right in its way, but it does not explain why the army's purchasing agent in the East bought the shoes from the millionaire Wanamaker at prices in excess of what the same goods were offered for in this city. While the Gov ernment objected to screws in the shoes here its agents in the East bought Wan amakers shoes, screws and all and found no fault that said screws were of brass. However, the action of the meet ing mentioned and the correspondence evil dently set the responsible officials to thinking a little.

net many thousands of dollars to a most worthy fund. AS a member of the Board of Supervisors 1 promise that l will support any proposition tending to contribute toward the advancement of the fair.

We cannot do too much for the men who are now on their way to re-enforce Admiral Dewey in Manila Bay.

man named Wilgus in Winters gave W. J. Connolly a chattel mortgage which the latter transferred to the Bank of Winters. Six months later Wilgus went into insolvency, but two days before he filed his petition the chattel mortgage was placed on record. The assignee sued the bank and the mortgagee for a decree to set aside the mortgage. The lower court stances was void because it had not been recorded as soon as 1t was made. This decision was affirmed by the Supreme Court yesterday, that body holding that under the new law such a mortgage must be filed at once and that the mortgagee has no redress If he fails so to do
