commission may rise to command from the ranks
or may attain it even as civilian. It would be
futile, though, to deny that there is something
to the West Point tradition" West Point Of
ficers are clannish, and they are by no means as
cordial as they might be toward brother officer
who has come into his commission either from
the ranks or from civil life
But that should not deter any one aspiring
to military career from seeking commission.
In the three infantry regiments mentioned, the
West Pointers are in the minority. Throughout
the army generally, less than half of the officers
are West Point graduates With force materially
increased, as it is bound to be, there will be an
immediate demand for additional officers. West
Point cannot supply the demand It would seem,
then, that the army offers splendid opportunity
to young men Of ability and ambition-careers
that few other professions offer nowadays

Opportunities in the Army.

The nationwide campaign for preparedness
has focused the attention of good many young
men of the country on the opportunities afforded
by militar career. What are the possibilities,
they want to know, Of promotion? Can an en-
listed man, in times Of peace, hope to obtain
commission? And, again, how much foundation
is there in fact for what the army, and civilians
who know something of army life, call the West
Point tradition?" These are pertinent questions
and they are important. The army, in years past
has been charged time and again with being more
aristocratic than that of any other democratic
nation in the world. Only the other day this
charge was renewed More than likely in the
next few months, it will be heard even oftener
than heretofore.
Some answer to it, however, is to be found
in the Army Register. There, plainly set forth,
is the record of service. Take the first three
regiments of infantry as examples. Of a total
of fifty officers in the First infantry, ten came
up from the ranks, seventeen were appointed
from civilian life and twenty three are West
Point graduates. Out of the fifty officers in the
Second infantry, nine were appointed from the
army twenty-five from civilian life and nineteen
are West Point graduates. In the Third. there
are twenty-five West Pointers, nine appointed
from the army and seventeen from civilian life.
Without enumerating the other units in detail
it is sufficient to say that in most of them the
same proportions hold In both the cavalry and
the artillery, however, the West Point officers
are far more numerous Both branches have ap-
pealed more to the West Pointer than the in
fantry, and both, too, require little ex-
pertness than can be had without extraordinary
effort outside of great military school. But
the facts in all cases, are sufficient to indicate
that the ambitious young man who aspires to

not! He stood behind the pirates who

QUESTION IS RAISED OVER
CANDIDATES. STATEMENTS
shall Candidates Who Haven't
Filed Reports Be De-
CIared Nominees?

A somewhat mooted question has been
raised as to whether the state Demo-
cratic convention which meets at Macon
Tuesday can legally declare as nominees
of the recent state primary those sue
cessful candidates who have not up to
that time filed sworn itemized state
ments of their campaign expenditures.
The state law allows twenty days af
ter the primary for the filing Of these
statements with the comptroller general
However, it also provides that any candi
date who has not complied with the law
and filed his statement shall not be de-
declared the nominee of his party.
The conflict comes about by reason Of
the fact that the state executive com
mittee fixed the date for the convention
before the expiration of the twenty days
allowed by law for filing statements,
which period does not expire until Octo-
Der 2.
Some Of those who have discussed the
point raised take the position that no
nominees can be declared by the con-
Vention who have not previously filed
their statements. while others contend
that it is not contrary to law for the
convention to so ahead and declare the
nominees Tuesday, regardless of wheth
er they have filed their statements, but
that should any of the nominees fail to
file their statements within the time pre-
scribed by law then another convention
would have to be called 10 declare other
nominees

Atlanta has never failed in the mat

girls when they come here for their BRIEF
annual recreation after a years Wei
directed effort and hard work. 1t Is
the reward they look forward to for
the service rendered, and it is big
service they are rendering Georgia. y
Assistant Secretary Harvey Johnson

of securing homes for these boys and

NO ACCURATE REPORTS
ON ACTIVITY OF VILLA
General Bells Account of the
Raid Believed Based on
Border RumorS
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Secretary
Baker let it be known today that the
war department was not disposed to ac-
cept as accurate the report of Villas
raid on Chihuahua City last Saturday
transmitted by Brigadier General Bell
yesterday on the strength of information
that had reached him in Ell Paso.
I'VE have no military information as
to renewed Villista activities" Mr.. Bak-
er said, indicating that it was assumed
that General Bells account was based
upon rumors and reports current in
border towns, and no facts obtained
through any channels in Mexico. He
declined to discess in any way what eff
feet the temperance of Villa, if II
were confirmed, might have on the
movements of American trops in Mex
leo.
So far as is known the war depart
ment has made no effort to learn from
General Bell the sources of his informa-
ton. General Funston is expected to
transmit promptly without additional in
structions any authentic news Of activi-
ties of the bandits which may reach
him and upon which any change in plan
involving General Pershing's expedition
might be founded.

more beautiful spot Tor university
hardly could be found. The campus lies
within a picturesque grove of trees
broken here and there by gullies and
brooks. Its natural beauty is almost

Four massive buildings, constructed
along the Mosaic style, await the stu
dents. These buildings present an ex-
terror of Georgia marble mostly white
with a tinge of pink and gray to make
itl distinctive. The buildings are of
steel and concrete construction. The
windows are of heavy plate glass.
The first Of the buildings approached
from the southwestern entrance to the
groudns is the L. q. c. Lamar law
school building. This building is named
in honor of the late L. Q. c. Lamar, a
native Georgian, who later moved to
Mississippi and served that state in the
United States senate. The other build
ings are the Gambler school of theology;
the Sam c. Dobbs hall, to be used as a

lead over Cats after the vote in many
precincts in twenty or more counties

votes.
Sidney ]. Cats, who relinquished the
certificate of nomination for governor
with today's action of the state can
vassing board, will Immediately seek to
have the Alachua county canvassing
board include in its returns for gov

the Atlanta spirit that this city was Sc

the Methodist Episcopal church, south,
held at Oklahoma City in November of
1914, it was decided to build two uni
versities. One was to be east of the
Mississippi river and the other west of
the river. Rivalry among southeastern
cities was intense and Birmingham, espe-
cially, made a hard fight The public
spiritedness Of Atlanta citizens, and
their liberal donations won for this

about seventy-five years old. 1t was

church, south.
Bishop Emory met tragic death, sew

Both negroes rejoice in the name of
Walter. both share equally in the name

re semblance ceases.
Alas! the Walter Hill that plays the

The other day two-year Walter was

get ready. Walter. Hill was going to
face Judge Hill on the charge Of bur-
glary. along with two other Afro-Amerl

Lifelong Walter decided that he

ment that he would substitute for two-
year Walter, thinking that 1t would be
pleasant to take a trip up town, and be-
SIDES. he afterwards said, ne might effect
an escape on the way.
Walter will always remember last
Wednesday as a perfect day. He went up
y the court house, saw the crowds,
linked at two or three old cronies pres
ent on the other side or the rail, and
when his case Cor the other Walters
easel was called. he stood before the
tribunal and pleaded guilty to the charge
o. burglary. After a few more things
were said about the crime that Walter
had not done. he stood up and took a
two-year sentence.
Walter. who was already sentenced TO
serve the rest OF his life i'm jail, cared
rot a straw about two years more.
He was unable TO find an opportunity
