To Develop Reserve Of Officers
Available For War ~

As n means of developing a reserve
personnel of officers available in time
of war, army officers have suggested
the creation in the War Department
of a division of military instruction,
to have charge of the instruction and
regulation Of those who may be fitted
in due time to perform the duties of
commissioned officers.
1t has been pointed out that at pres
ent there is no such broad and intimate
control of this important matter, aud
that much might be gained in prac-
teal way from tho development of a
system Of military education in this
country to the extent of having a uni
folmity of instruction and exercises.
This would involve, of course, IA system
that would come necessarily under one
head, and it is for this reason that
the creation of the new division in the
War Department is suggested.
The system would require, Of course
officers to act as instructors and non.
commissioned officers to serve as drill.
masters.

SCHEME
TO ASSIST RUSSIA
Story Former President Planned
To Lead Cavalry Division
To East Front

PARLIAMENTARY Public Ledger
recently printed the following despatch
from Washington:
News of the plan for assembling a
division of cavalry, to number 10000,
by Col. Theodore Roosevelt, to dash
through Russia and Join the allies in
the campaign against the Germans, has
Just become known here, outside of
certain official circles. The plan was
conceived early last summer during the
tense days following the Lusitania
sinking. Iontrary to previous reports,
it is now said the colonel never intend
ed to join the line on the western
front.
Col Roosevelt, Maj. Gen. Wood and
others saw no hopes of the United
states keeping out OF, the confagration,
and the former decided to raise a cav
airy division along the lines of his
famous Trough Riders regiment dur,
ing the Spanish American war.
Planned Twelve Regiments
Instead of a single regiment of 900
men, Col. Roosevelt planned upon dash.
ing abroad with division consisting
Of twelve regiments of cavalry.
He did not cont mplate entering the
attic line ON the western front or
Flanders, but his plan, it is said here,
was to cross the Pacific and join the
Russian line, assailing Germany from
the east.
Purchased His Equipment
Col. Roosevelt, it is now said, even
went so far as to purchase equipment.
He is declared to have bought auto.
mobile trucks for the hauling of equip,
ment and commissariat and a specially
built automobile tank car for the trans,
POrtatiOn of gasoline.

High Rates Lead To That Con-
cIusion; Vessels Pay For
Selves Quickly

Numerous tales concerning the huge
returns being realized by experienced
shipping agents operating vessels out
of New York port are going the rounds
in New York shipping circles. One OF
these concerns the sale of the American
steamer s. V. Luckenbach by the
Luekenbach Steamship Company to
Barber & Co., Of New York for $3.50
600. The steamer is 2276' tons net reg
lister. She has been renamed the One
ga, and recently completed her first
voyage between New York and Arch

$3.50 900 in one voyage
1t is reported that the Omega carried
out about 5000 tons of cargo for the
Russian White Sea port and an aver.
age of $40 ton was secured as freight
,by the agent -owneTs, netting them ap.
proximately $35O,000 in freight money
for the single trip. Captain Howard 4
trip of twenty-one days TO Archangel
at this time of the year is considered
a splendid feat by shipping men, and,
while his salary as commander of the
Omega is $500 per month, it is under.
stood that a bonus of $1,000 was given
him.
Some of the regular lines which have
been in the charter market for extra
steamers to carry the ever increas NJ
volume of freight to Europe, are find,
ing it is cheaper to buy the steamers
at their inflated prices than pay the
rates demanded for time charters. In
fact, Barber g. Co. are not the only
company which has done so recently
J. w. EIwen & Co. in October bought
the steamer Iperia in order to escape
paying the high rate asked for a time
charter. . G.r.....
Earn Cost In Three Voyages
These experiences have led shipping
men to indulge in much speculation
as to the wisdom and foresight of buy,
ing steamers rather than paying pre-
vailing high time charter rates. One
shipping man thus put the case
"Let us assume that both the Oncgq
and the Ipcria are 30O0-tOn vessels and
cost about $350,00O, which is goo
price on the present value of tonnage
A SOOO-ton steamer can earn under
time charter rates about $d5,00O Il
mouth, A voyage to any of the ports
of West Italy or the French Atlantic
ports, where tonnage is now mostly
in demand, would take from two tC
three months, including about twenty
six days for the voyage each way unc
another month to unload and load at
the respective ports.
"ln two or three months, at current
rates, 30OO-ton steamer would earn
