MAKING ARMY OFFICERS
FOR THE BRITISH FORCES
Crack Regiments of Professional
Men Furnish the Subalterns
for Other Commands.

CORES pouience Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, July lott has been the
general practice of the British army in
the present war to get its supply of
subalterns from the best territorial
regiments, which correspond to the
crack state guard regiments of Ameri
ca. These regiments receive as re
cruits only young men of a certain
standard of education and social po-
sition.
The Honorable Artillery Company.
which consists now of many companies
and which sprang from the same his
toric organization as the Honorable
Artillery Company of Boston, Mass, is
perhaps the best known of these regi-
ments in the United States. But no
regiment contributes more young Off
GERS to the new and regular armies
than the Artists Rifles, which has won
commissions for nearly 1000 of its
former privates.
The Artists Rifles is composed of
young professional men of various call
ings. Its versatility is illustrated by
an incident that happened in the early
DAVIS of the war. when six electrical
engineers restored electric lights to a
French town where the lights had
failed with serious CONSEQUENCES 1t
was the Artists which converted dis
used stable at Bailleul into "A bath
house for the men returning from the
trenches.
Soon after going to France. the regi.
nent was turned into a training school
for officers on the ground that ITS ma
terial was too valuable to waste in the
ordinary way.
A man who enlists as a private in the
Artists and afterward obtains a com
mission from its training school IN
france secures his seniority in the
regular establishment, if he desires
permanent career in the army. from
The date of his first commission. rms
training is remarkably thorough, as the
men get all the life ana the prac.iGdi
aynarience of privates with the tech
nical training of officers.

Satisfactory Settlement Sought.

That the President wishes to per-
sonally discuss the grievance of the
employees with men representing them
was considered today an indication that
he may seek to settle the matter sat
isfactorily to the employees and there
by overrule the position taken by Sec
rotary Daniels that nothing can be
done.
The action of the President is also
regarded as significant in view Of an
HouncementS made today that the
PRESIDENT, upon his return, is to dis

Navy plans for improving the national
defense. should the government enter
upon an extensive program of enlarS-
ing tn" navy ana army. ii VIII require
the services of thousands of nachin-
lists and other employees. besides those
now engaged. To make these employees
satisfied would be prudent and wise. IT

The Presidents custom in the vast
majority of appeals to him from deci-
sions of his cabinet officers is to sus

upon them himself.

Raise in q. S. Arsenals.

Machinists and skilled workers at
the various government arsenals ana
naval stations will be paid the same
wages as are paid by private concerns
employing labor to work on European
contracts. Several advances in pay at
the arsenals already have been au-
thoriZed by the War Department, and
an inquiry has been directed to ascef-
tain the prevailing rate of machlnlsts

Philadelphia where the Frankfort ar

tees, representing the three depart
ments of the factory. have been
placed in charge of the investigation.
and each will be composed of a man
selected by the employees and one
designated by the commanding ofhcer
of the arsenal.
Although designations from the ar
senals have not seriously hampered
the work on the governments war
munitions some skilled men have left

make its employment equally as at

facturerS.

Referring to the experience OF BE
GUM Cardinal Gibbons said:
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the heroism of the little nation ana,
its king. Had Belgium acquiesced To
the demand of Germany and permitted
free passage of her armies, they would
have marched straight to Calais and
dictated terms to the world. II the
allies should prove victorious. Belgium
should be restored fourfold for what
she has sacrificed. Our prayer goes ny
each day and IN all our churches that
God may bring to n speedy end this
dreadful war"
Asked of the need of a strong stand
ing army in the United States, he re-
piled, with unusual force:
We do not want it: we do not need
1t. Let the energies of our people h.
directed to peaceful pursuits: let thek
lives be given to commercial develop
ment and educational uplift. Do not
divert a great mass of men into a pro
fessional soldiery. Let each state have
its thoroughly equipped and well train
ed militia under the supervision of the
national government, and We will have
an army. If an emergency should arise.

NAVY YARD MEN
ARE Up IN ARMS


they petitioned for 4 meeting this
morning they had acted on the belief
that the President had ignored them.
Although there is hurry for a settle
ment of the whole matter. said Mr.
Atlas, the letter from the President
probably will temper the minds of the
men when 1t is read to them at the
meeting. He declared that the depart
ment had had twentyfour days in
which to settle the whole matter. and
nothing has been done. The men. he
said. want i settlement aud do not

for the same appropriations will be
available then as are being drawn
upon at this time.
While Mr. Atlas does not say that
in the event the demands of the navy
yard men are not met they viii walk
out, he intimated that at Monday
nights meeting they will take very
positive stand as to what they will do.
Skilled machinists are now in de
mand. he said. and the law provides that
the local yard employees shall receive
the same pay as other machinists in
the locality. The pay scale is now
high in the outside firms, according
to Mr.. Atlas, and there is nothing for
Secretary Daniels to do but to give
the men the pay to which they are en-
titled and not make them wait until
January. The machinists representa-
tive declared that the men are deter
mined not to wait until that time,
when the whole matter can be settled
at this time. All that is wanted. he
continued. is a fair bearing and an
opportunity to convince those in con-
troll that the demands of the machinists
are fair, in view of the wages now be
ing paid by similar concerns in this
vicinity.
