LIEUTENANTS UNSCHOOLED

ls'HaNN AaAN W wv 4 Alf iNAlAfE lfN's
instruction courses planned to begin
at Fort Leavenworth today for 450
newly commissioned second liouteu-
ants of the United states army were
deferred because Of an old military
regulation which congress will be
asked next week To modify. In the
meantime plans for the schooling of
the new officers, many of them re-
cruitcd from civil hfc are being held
in allegiance.
Since the order for the school was
issued II has been learned that army
regulations require lieutenant TO
serve two years ON active duty before
he can be ordered To attend school
ON any detached service Because OF
the need of the new officers for pre-
ltminary training In the theories Of
warfare IL Is believed by officers here
that the regulation viii he revised to
meet tho present situation. For that
reason existing arrangements for the
school are being maintained.

manders.

Disputes among army officers In the
Philippines over baseball games and
other athletic sports have caused Off
Gals at the war department to consid-
er the ACCESSIBILITY Of the issue Of an
official regulation to govern In cases
where there is possibility that the
games may interfere with regular mil
itary duty. With the approval of the
secretary of war, Adjutant General
Mccain has issued the following MEM
orandum on the subject:
'aThe extent that sporting events
may be INDUCED in at military posts
is q matter that rests within the dis
erection and judgment of the post COM
mander, and it Is not thought best to
lay down any general rule that would
restrict him in his discharge of that
duty. He is held responsible for the
discipline, training and general condi-
ton of his troops, and it is maintained
that athletics go hand in hand with
military training and are vital to the
welfare and contentment Of officers
and men. An officer or enlisted man
who does not keep in good physical
condition is bound to fail in the SUI
preme test of war."-Washington

No Socks in German Army.

The German soldier docs not rTcar
socks, but fusslappen. These are
strips of cloth soaked in tallow and
wound about the feet. They are sup
posed to be preferable to socks in
that they wear more evenly, are more
easily cleaned and, when properly
worn, are not so likely to wrinkle and
cause blisters.
Military authorities disagree, how
ever, as to the relative value of socks
and tallow-soaked strips. Either GOV.
ering, though, is considered preferable
to the custom Of wearing no socks,
which has prevailed In the French,
Spanish and italian armies.-Outlook
