OFFICERS OF VOLUNTEERS
By Frederic ]. Haskin

TETITH the certainty of consider
Wv able increase in the regular
army and the possibility of a
general call for volunteers which has
existed for many weeks, there is much
public interest in the question of how
these new troops will be oricered. In
the event of a call for a large number
OF men, commissioned officers as we'll
as priVates n non-coms must be
drawn from the civilian population.
There are several provisions al
ready in operation bearing on the sub
ject. Under the term civilian" the
regular army mar groups every one
who is not a regular army man. There
are Ter dierent classes of civilians,
with dierent qualifications for the du-
ties o. commissioned officers; and such
qualifications will have great weight
in the final selections.
At present there are two possibili-
ties for the civilian to obtain an army
commission. One Of these is his
chance for a commission in the vol
unteers, should these be called for;
the other is his chance for a second
~lieutenancy in the regular army.
Whether there will be any call for Off
GERS of volunteers depends Of PURSE
in the first place on whether it will be
finally necessary to raise a volunteer
army; and also on how that army is
raised. If the country decides to
adopt a State volunteering system,
then the appointment of officers will
rest with the State governors; but If
the volunteer force is a federal body,
raised by the nation at large, the
qualifications of the applicant are
passed on by a board composed of
army officers.
That the latter method is consider

than from a Southerner to land a good
place at the pie counter.
For instance. it cost General Pen
field. Charley Crane. Morganthau.
McCombs and Jones an average of
S24,500 each for good jobs. whereas
the Southern rate is only $3.50, as evil
denced by the fact that that was the
average contribution of Daniels, Burle-
o II. Gregory and McReynolds. all in
the Cabinet.
In this connection it is also main
tanned that while most of the taxes
collected by this administration have
come from the North. the lions share
of the expenditures have been made in
the South. The bulk of the $42, 900, 900
pork bar'I' goes to the South, in ad-
dition to S21. 900, 900 for a nitrate plant,
big sums for navy yards, many of
which are obsolete. $50, 900. 900 for
river improvement and flood control.

PosTPoNING SCHOOL OPENING
DARENTs everywhere in Pennsyl.

DARENTS everywhere in Pennsyl-
J. vania will be grateful to DR.. sam
uel G. Dixon. State Health Com
missioner, for his order of last night
postponing the opening of the schools
OF the State until September is on
account of the danger of spreading
infantile paralysis contagion.
Had the schools been opened at the
usual time, the law would have COM
PEELED parents to enroll their children
Of school age, even though thousands
of them would have done so with fear
and trembling. Education is a very
important factor in the development
of the child, but health is funda-
mental. Schooling is more than use
less If it makes an invalid of the
pupil. Two or three weeks less in the
school year will count for little in the
long run as against the peril of dis
ease that now prevails and which
would be greatly increased were chill
dren permitted or forced to congregate
as they do in school.
DR.. Dixon's ruling is a wise pre-
caution.

SOFT DRINK CONTAINERS

TINE Maryland Board of Health
has just promulgated, through
the newspapers of the State. a
ruling requiring that after September 1
all soft drinks and soda waters be
served in containers that shall be i'm
mediately thereafter destroyed. In
short, the glass is to be succeeded bv
the paper cup.
The ever-present germ, the growing
popularity of the soft drink and the
carelessness of many dealers in falling
to clean glasses thoroughly are given
as reasons. The germ idea is no doubt
overworked. but there is sense in this
ruling. If the common drinking cup
for public water stations is to be aboI-
ished, it would appear a bit incon-
gruous to permit the use of the COM
mon soda water glass.
The ruling does not apply to alco-
holic beverages. Evidently the Board
of Health feels that the man who lifts
a whisky glass deserves all he gets.

EXCUSES

CENATOR GALLNGER, the Re-
- publican floor leader, recently
called attention in both plain and
forceful language to the chaotic con-
dition of public business in that body
and pointed out that in all his long
career he neve had witnessed any
thing like it The Senator said:
The Democratic party seems in
capable OF conducting the legisla-
tive cuisines of Congress. We are
IN q ~deplorable situation so far as
the business OF the session is CON
cerned: In my judgment there has
never been a parallel. 1t now looks
as though We were going to be here
all summer. I do not recall during
the long term of the Republican
party IN power that we had to pass
resolutions extending the approprI-
lions or one session to another. We
got our appropriations through be-
fore the fiscal year ended as a rule.
But the Senator should remember
that the Republican appropriations
were much smaller. The bigger the
appropriation, the longer the session.
That seems natural enough. And the
Senator nus remember. too, that most
Democrats like Washington and do
not expect TO return next year.

GEORGETOWN ELEVEN
FAVORS OPEN CANE

Washington. Sept. "a. - When the
Georgetown eleven opens its real sea-
son at Annapolis, October 7, the foot
ball world is going to see team wei!
eouipped with forward passes and de-

around 1875 pounds, Georgetown's at
tack will be almost wholly Of the open
variety. e.,
Coach Exendne, former Carlisle
Indian school star end, has started of
with his veteran backield of 1915, and
this has enabled him 20 make a more
promising beginning than might be ex-
pectcd. In Johnny Gilroy Georgetown
possesses one Of the best forward pass
ers among Eastern clevens.
Georgetown, following the Navy
game, will prepare for the even tougher
contest at Hsverhill, Mass, with Dart
mouth. This will be the first time
these teams have ever met on the grid
iron. Close 70 fifty candidates are now
working out at the hilltop.
