COLLEGE MEN FOR WAR.
MajOr-General Wood to Suggest. Plan
to Train Them.

Washington, April 21.-A plan by
which college undergraduates may
receive military instruction in a
camp this summer at little expense
to themselves is being laid before
the students and officials OF the prin-
cipal universities of the country by
Major-General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff of the army, acting for Sec
retary of War Garrison.
1t is proposed to establish this
summer two experimental camps,
solely for college men, one in the
east and the other in the west. Stu
dent soldiers to the number of 1000
will be taken to Gettysburg. About
500 more will be encamped at the
Preside of Monterey, Cal. The
period of instruction will lie about
eight weeks, from early in July to
late in August.
The purpose of the experiment,
W NhlOh Will bS uldQ6 dll dllLludl 6N6uI
if this summers trial proves success
full, is to increase the present mad
equate number of citizens who have
had sufficient training TO qualify
them for efficient service in time of
war.
The war department will furnish
cooks and bakers, and necessities for
preparing the food in camp. 1t will
loan arms to each man, TO be turned
in at the end of the encampment.
Students will be obliged to pay their
transportation and also their subsist-
ence. The latter will cost each man
about $1.75 per week. Each student
also will be asked to buy a uniform
and outfit, to cost $7.66 per man.

Gave Havrack Ride.

leslie Cunningham was host at a
very pleasant hayrack ride last Fri
day evening. The party, which con-
sisted of about 35 boys and girls,
left the city shortly after o'clock
in huge hayrack drawn by four
sturdy and steady horses, headed for
Kingsbury springs. The word steady
is used advisedly, as only steady
team would have stood for the mer-
riment of that many youngsters on
amusement bent. Upon arriving at
the springs a basket picnic was en-
joyed, after which they drove back
to the city, arriving shortly after II
o'clock. Mesdames R. P. Campbell
and Harrison Haight and Miss Upde-
graft chaperoned the merry party.

Chautauqua Park Club Meets.

The Ladies' Chautauqua Park
Club held the first meeting of the
season Friday at their club house in
the park. They also spent some time
in working in the park and helping
clean it up for the summer. The
ladies have worked nobly in their
efforts in this direction and deserve
the loyal support of every citizen.
An honorary membership in the club
only costs 81 per year and the money
is used in keeping up the Chautau-
qua park. There is scarcely a wom-
an in the city but can offord to be
an honorary member, even if her
other duties will not permit active
participation in the good work. The
fee can be left at the Granite City
Savings Bank and will be turned in
to the society. There will be a more
extended article on their work next
issue.

MINISTER'S CLEARED OF BIAME
british Ministers Absolved Of OBJ
ioqnity In Connection with Marconi
Scandal.

London, June 13.--British cabinet
ministers were today absolved by the
parliamentary committee from all
blame in connection with the scandal
alleged to have surrounded the con-
tracts between the British government
and the Marconi Wireless company.
The report Of the committee which
Investigated the affair. was issued to-
day. 1t declares that there is no
foundation for any of the charge
made against Attorney General Sir
Rufus ID. Isaacs, Chancellor of the
Exchequer David Lloyd-George. or
Postmaster General Herbert l.. Sam
uel.
The committee finds that all the
ministers concerned acted throughout
I'm the sincere belief that there was
nothing In their action which would
conflict with their duty as ministers
Of the crown.
The report further says that mo
evidence was given showing that any
memebr OF the British government
exercised any influence to procure the
contract for the English Marconi
company or in any way acted con-
trary to the public interest in behalf
OF that company, or used knowledge
acquired In his official dealings for
his private profit. or was in any wise
concerned In any dealings in tn.
shares Of the company"
The report in conclusion strongly
condemns the publication of charges
which were absolutely untrue and
which those responsible for their cir
culation had no reason to believe
true"
The foregoing extracts are from
the majority report.
