Seek Wilson's Presence.

seen w ilcOu ttoNhNN'
An effort is being made to get Pres
ident Wilson to motor over here be-
fore he returns TO Washington from
Cornish, n. II. The distance is about
100 miles.
Major General Leonard Wood, who
will superintend the work of instruc-
ton, will probably arrive late tonight.
Camp Commander DOrey is one of his
aids. Captain Gordon Johnston, Of the
18th Cavalry, adjutant at the camp, is
also an aid. Other army officers on
the ground are Captain r. o. Van
Horn, of the 18th Infantry; Captain E.
V. Collins, of the 10th Infantry; Lieu
tenant Carl Truesdell, of the 25th In
fantry, who is quartermaster; Lieuten-
ant p. J. Blackmore. OF the coast ar
tillery, ordnance officer; Lieutenant
c. n. Sawyer. officer of the mess;
Captain T. +. Darby. camp sur
geon; Majors C. Mex Saltzman and
G. II. Shaw. The encampment will
consist of two battalions of four COM
panies each, with $50 men TO a company.
The work tomorrow will consist of
organization. Very little was accom-
plished to-day. William j. ClOthier. the
tennis crack; Kenneth p. Budd and
other well known volunteers spent their
day setting their tents in order. Some
of the early arrivals brought up golf
clubs and fishing tackle, but they will
have little opportunity to use them.
Beginning Wednesday close order
drills will be performed. On the three
days following, extended order drills
will occupy the time. In the evenings
civilian aid war college lecturers will
address the men. With reveille at
about a. m. and taps at 10 p. m, life
in this camp is not going to be easy.
But cooking and table serving will not
fall on these volunteers; about sixty
holdovers from the college encamp-
ment will attend to this work.
This outfit has lot of pep" Cap
tain Johnston said tonight. They'll
need to have it, too, for we're going to
push them harder than the college men,

four weeks what the others were given

Artillery En- Route to Camp.
The only large mechanical thing of
war in the camp is the big signal corps
motor truck carrying a full wireless
equipment. This is in charge of Majc-
SalZman. Captain Shaw is the range
finder. Somewhere on the road bound
rere. is an eight-ton truck, leading a
tbree-inch field gun. The gun and
truck are so heavy that progress has
been delayed because bridges en- route
have to be strengthened before they are
crossed by the fieldpiece. In day or SD
fifteen auto trucks are expected with
twenty machine guns and two single

the 26th Infantry, in charge OF Com

and then you can teach some OF the
others. But III let you go to your
luncheon now, and when you come back
will start you in on the cots"
As a concession Captain Kelley told
the Mayor that he, Curran and Meloney
could leave the reservation Tor 'neir
food. They asked permission TO 90 TO
the Hotel Champlsin, at Bluff Point, a
mile and a half away. This was grant
ed. They did not spend much time
eating. and when they got back TO tne

Meloney from time TO time offered sug..

to make one of the stake ropes OF MS
tent behave, gave his full attention 70
This business, particularly when Cap
tain Kelley, who. was seeking other
prospective instructors in cot raising
appeared near by.
The presence of the Mayor in camp
did not become known to many OF me
residents Of Plattsburg until late THIS
evening. Around the camp were very
few visitors. Most of the Plattsburgers
are waiting until tomorrow morn
ing. when about 1900 more amateur
soldiers will arrive. II was announced
tonight that / ,234 men have enrolled
for the encampment. The total prop
ably will run up to 800.

The Windjammers' Resurrection.

There is one phase OF the marine situation that
is particularly noticeable in New York. Never since
the wane of the deep sea sailor have many full
rugged ships and many big barkentines been
seen hereabouts as now. Where they all come from
is mystery. Some OF them look if they had
been in the Sea of Saragasso that Dead Sea of the
Atlantic. Others spck and span. There are
a lot OF Norwegians among the incomers, and
most of them sadly in need of attention. Ap-
parently the hospitals of the sea have been ran
sacked to bring forth anything that will serve to
carry freight and money in these days OF
wonderful freights.
There would be touch of pcturesqueness if
these barks and full-rigged ships would spread
their canvas and show their glories to the man
who loves the sea, but time is so valuable that no
ship depends wind coming in or going out of
New York: Tugs pick up the deep-sea rovers far
down the bay and tugs take them out.
The sailing ship is having another lease of life,
and not minute of that life must be sacrificed,
for every minute means money.

Georgia's New Law.

A Georgia correspondent takes The Herald to
task for msreprcsenting the prohibition law
enacted by the Georgia legislature, when it said
that the law would permit the importation of 24o
SseI7o gallons of liquor into that dry State next
year. or one-eighth OF the entire liquor product of
the United States. The Herald does not desire
to misrepresent either Georgia the Georgia
legislature and cheerfully acknowledge the cr-
ror in that calculation. The mistake was in the
use OF the conjunction land" instead of the shorter
part of speech "or" which appeared in the Georgia
newspaper prints of the bill. The new law permits
each citizen to import half gallon of whisky,
gallon of wine or six gallons of beer each month
NOT all of these quantities. This compels a new
calculation which shows that the bibuous Geor-
gian can have only seventy-two gallons of liquor
next year and that the total for the State is only
100 oooSo36 gallons about e-tenth of the total
liquor product of the United States.
We regret the error in the original calculation
but still believe that the people of Georgia have
no just reason to complain of the dry quality of
this legislation. 1t is not extra dry.
II the Georgia people permitted to make
more moonshine than any wet State continue to
make cider and allow it to age their grapes
into grape juice and carelessly allow it to ferment
and in addition to this home production import
nearly 100000 900 gallons of beer, or II gallons
for each man, woman and child in Georgia while
the remainder of the people in the United States,
wet or dry, allowed only twenty gallons each,
prohibition in Georgia is not hardship.
The beginning of Georgia was as an asylum to
those who fled from debt and religious persecu-
ton in England that they might begin life anew
and enjoy freedom. The Georgia legislature ap-
pears to have had Gen. Oglethorpes old charter in
mind when it was enacting prohibition law
1t is possible that when the free importation per-
mittcd under this prohibition law is generally
throughout the country, there may be
another immigration into Georgia from wet coun-
ties and States where the importations of liquor
is more or less hamPered by the officials. just as
the followers of Oglethorpe were interfered with
before ;hey left England to find an asylum from
debt collectors and religious persecution The
Herald presents its apology to Georgia for the
former miseaculation to the dryness of that dry
State.

Nebraska Sets a Problem.

Col Roosevelt was designated as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for President in
Nebraska in 1912 Later his sponsors amended
their plan and sought to Withdraw his name This
they were not allowed to do. under the terms of
the Nebraska direct primary law, and Col. Roose-
welt, following the example of Charles Evans
Hughes, has now requested the Secretary of State
The Nebraska statute is not more unreasonable
or difficult to understand than any other primary
or direct nomination law. The occurrences that
have brought fame to it, however. give point to a
question that should interest all students of DEM
ocratic institutions. If the principle of popular
nomination, which is declared to be essential to
"rule by the people" is sound, not all eligible
persons bound by their obligations as citizens to
permit the use of their names as candidates when
their proponents tcomply with the rules?
Nebraska has exhibited to us an office seeking
two men, and both men running away as fast as
they can. How can their conduct be squared with
the wishes of the constituency that sought to utilize
their names?-New York Sun.

Time spent by government clerks at
the business mems military camps
will be charged against their leave. ac-
cordinc TO r decision OF the judge advo-
cate general of the army. II a clerk
leave has expired he must lose his pay
while he Is at the camp.
The ruling of the judge advocate gen
eral was made In Response to requests
from Mai Gen. Wood. commander OF
the Eastern department. A great many
government clerks hhVe become inter-
ested in the business camp movement
and have expressed a desire 10 attend
the camps next year. Under the exist
ing law government clerks receive pay
while they are attending national guard
encampments and the time Is not de-
ducted from their annual leave. Some
of the clerks thought that attendants
at the military camps should receive
the same recognition as for service IN
the national guard and at their re-
quest Gen. Wood asked for decision
on this point The judge advocate gen.
eral after examining the authorizes de-
Cided that there was no authority Tor
giving the same recognition to the at
tendants at camp that is accorded servi
ice in the national guard.
The Roosevelt naval personnel Doaru
will make no recommendation to Con-
Gress on the question as TO whether stan
officers in the navy should have mill
tary titles. For years staff officers in
the army have had military titles and
there is a feeling among the stan that
the same policy should be adopted in
