BRINGS ACTION
TO TEST POINT
Carl r. Kositzky Wants Fla
herly to Recognize lnspec-
tors Selected by City.

Upon complaint of C. r.. Kositzky,
county commissioner, Judge Nuessle
has issued an order directing County
Auditor Flaherty to show cause why
he should not recognize the inspect
ors of election selected by the city
commission instead of the ones desig-
mated by the county commissioners
last week.
The order is returnable tomorrow
morning, at 1000 a. m. 1an#
This action grows out of dispute
relative to the authority of the coun-
commissioners to appoint election
inspectors for the city precincts.
Opinions received from Attorney Gen
eral Linde's office were to the effect
that the county commissioners have
the authority. City Attorney McCur-
dy has given written opinion that
the city commissioners have the pow
err.
Two sets of inspectors have been
appointed. One by the board of coun-
ty commissioners and the other by
the city commission. The issue rails
ed is interesting and the point prob
ably will be disposed of promptly by
the court. There are, rumors that in
any event the matter will be carried
to the supreme court, although the
time is short in which to publish the
election notices for the primaries

TO TRAIN y FOR: WAR
Thirty Thousand Citizens to Take
Military instructions.
"PIattsburg Idea" to BE Carried Out
In Seven or More Camps At
Important Points This
Summer.

Washington. - Thirty thousand
young Americans will undergo mill.
tary training under regular army Of.
ficers this summer. This is the advice
the house and senate military affairs
committees have received from the
Military Training Camps association Of
the United States, at 81 Nassau street
New York city. This association has
charge Of the enrolment of men in
the seven or more camps Of instruc-
ton, at important points in the United
States In the period from April to Oc-
tober, this year.
These men will represent students.
business and professional men and
other vigorous Americans from all
walks Of life who will be thrown to-
gether into the melting pot of military
training in the interest Of better Amer.
lean citizenship.
The camps founded on the "Platts.
burg idea so called because the first
camps of that kind were held at Platts.
burg. N. Y, on the banks Of Lake
Champlain, last summer-were uni
formly so successful! that demands for
more camps of the kind have come
from all parts Of the country
Since, under present conditions the
men at the camps are obliged to pay
their own expenses, the training
imposes no obligation whatsoever for
subsequent military service. The mem
bers have to subscribe to nothing that
might bind them to join any military
organization. They simply put In four
or five weeks of healthful outdoor life
In tents, under the very best-known
sanitary conditions, and under the
training of some of the best equipped
and experienced officers in the regular
army.
The men who enroll can for the
most part be divided into four classes:
(a) men whose occupations or home
ties do not permit them to enter the
national guard with its fixed night
drills, 90 men of the laboring classes
who have a prejudice against the
militia because of the liability to
strike duty, (c) men who, as matter
of principle, will never support force
subject to even partial state control
and (d) men living in the country toe
far away from a militia organization
to make service in it possible.
The men trained in these camps car
be formed into regiments, subject to 6
prescribed course of field training anG
thus form a reserve force, under an ex
elusive federal control, side by side
with the national guard.
While the instruction camp training
tends to equip properly qualified mem
bers for service as officers of the trooI
bodies, officers of the association say
1t has a far broader scope. The big
idea behind it, they say, is that the
movement lays the basis for fedora
reserve citizen army"
The training camps, thus far, art
conducted under system by whict
each member pays his own way, under
comparatively small charge for food
and uniform (s22.5O to $50. for the
entire camp for beginners or former

J NO PEACE AT PRESENT
Sir Edward Grey Replies to Liberal
Members Attack

London, May 25-In an impromp-

last night on the question of peace,
unexpectedly raised by Arthur Pom
sonby, liberal member for Stirling,
Scotland, in a strong address attack
ing the government for allowing dip
lomatic etiquette to stand in the way
of possible peace pourparlers, Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign sec
retary, set aside all ideas that peace
negotiations were possible at the pre-
sent stage and plainly reiterated that
the position of the allies was in no
way changed.
Sir Edward declared that it was
impossible to consider terms of peace
without previous agreement be-
tween the entente allies. Further, he
expressed the decided opinion that
the hostilities had not yet reached a
stage where it was possible to talk of
peace, especially as the German pub
lie was constantly being "fed with
lies" by their ministers.

FIGHTING AT yERDUN
French Soldiers Strip to Waist and
use Hand Grenades in Retak-

Paris. May 25-With the Verdun
operations now at their height and
while the German troops are fight
ing desperately to hold the position
which is their emperor's pride to have
taken, France was thrilled with JOY
over the proportions and circumstan-
ces of the inita! stages. Hard pres
sed by insistent drives of German
troops III bulk on the left bank of
the Meuse, Calls. Neville and Pc
tain sprung one on the master strok-
es of the war on the other side of
the river.
Several divisions of the crown
princes army were engaged at Dead
Man Hill. AT the moment when 1t
began to appear to the French that
Dead Man Hill might fall, a shdden
and terrific artillery fire opened, un-
der Gen. Nivelle's orders, directed
into the German positions or the right
bank. Fort Douaumont was weaker
than usual, and Nivelle's lombard
ment did not last long. for he did the
work of a week in a single day, so
we'll had he planned the coup.
Within "a hours he gave his single
word of orders to infantry and out
they went. They charged in such num-
hers that they took fully two kilo-
metres supporting Douaumont.
To the surprise of every one-somc
say even to the surprise of the troops
Gen. Nivelle announced that he had
prepared for similar assault and
ordered his troops to climb the slopes
to the plateau OF which Douaumont
is situated and retake the coveted
positions. The right wing of the
French contingent accepted this task
and climbed into the dismantled fort
that they had left three months be-
fore.
They poured in two streams. one
from the west and the other from the
south. They had left their rifles be-
hind and each carried full load or
hand erenades. 1t was terrificaly moi
with no verbagc. trees or water
available and the French had strip
ped to the waist, as had their gun
ners during the previous hot day Of
artillery preparation.
Helmets and grenades were all they
had use for, and thus equipped they
scurried into cellar after cellar ana
tunnel after tunnel Of the fortress.
The enemy fell dead and wounded,
and large numbers were taken pris-
oners.
