MILITARY CAMP PLANNED
FOR FORT OGLETHORPE.
College Students and Business Men
to Assemble There From
April to November.

Preparations are being made for the
southern military training camp for
college students and business men, to
be held on the military reservation at
Fort Oglethorpe. Ca, from April to
October 81. according to a letter re-
ceived at headquarters of the National
Guard of the District of Columbia from
q committee at Fort Oglethorpe having
the matter in charge. A conference of
army officers at the post there and
governors from the twenty states from
which recruits are to be drawn and the
adjutants general of those states was
held there last week. This camp also
will receive the recruits from the Dis
trict of Columbia.
This southern training camp" says
the letter to the local authorities. lis
expected to especially appeal to BUSH
ness and professional men who cannot
spare time to enroll with the National
Guard-to men who feel that they owe
1t to the nation to take military train
ing to fit themselves for service in
furtherance of the plans for prepared
ness of the national administration.
The military training camps are not
intended to conflict with or in any
way interfere with the National Guard
organization.
Has Many Advantages.
Fort Oglethorpe presents many adj
vantages for this military training
camp. The military post grounds COM
prise nearly 1000 acres. and imme-
diately adjoining the camp is the
Chickamauga Chattanooga National
Military Park (Chickamauga battle
Heidi. established by Congress as an
object lesson for students of military
matters" There is crack regiment of
cavalry at the post
The committee is DESTROYS of keeping
an average of 1000 men in the train
ing camp during the entire period, and
they hope to keep it open until Octo-
Der 81 This will require a represent
tation of only 100 men at the camp
from each, of the twenty states. -
Gen. Wood Endorses Idea.
The letter was accompanied by one
from Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, u. S. A,
commanding the Eastern Division, in
dorsing the training camp idea. In ad-
dition there was a form of enlistment
In which the recruit agrees to remain
at the camp for thirty days unless re-
called for unforeseen reasons. The ex-
penses of the camp are $50, including
uniform. The camp equipment, rifles,
etc. are furnished by the regular army
This amount covers everything but
the transportation to and from the
camp.
Several residents of the District at
tended the Plattsburg, n. Y, camp last
year, and those who wish to go into
camp this summer are to go to Fort
Oglethorpe.

TELLS OF THE STRANGE
CURRENTS OF BALKANS
George Higgins Moses, Former En-
voy, Lectures on Near East
ern Problems.
Says Many Races, Many Tongues
and Clashing Ambitions Make
Harmony Impossible.

George Higgins Moses, for many
years United States minister to Greece
and Montenegro, discussed the strange
currents of the whirlpool of the
Balkans in a lecture delivered before
members of the National Geographic
Society at New Masonic. Temple last
night. These currents are running to-
day more contradictory and confus-
eddy than ever before. he said. and that
man must be bold prophet who shall
venture to foretell their outcome.
l One prediction the speaker ventured.
despite a medley of tangled testimony
carried in dispatches from Greece. and
that was that the Hellenic world has
no stronger supporter Of its estab-
lished monarchy than that of it's lead
ing statesman, former Premier Veni-
zelos.
whether far, middle or near, the
east embodies mystery and contradic-
ton" Mr. Moses said. From time out
of mind it has baffied the study and
of the writer's. statesmen
and the philosophers of the west; anu
the near east is more mysterious and
more alluring to US than the far orient.
1t has been overrun and ruled by peo-
pie of every race Men of our blood
have been missing there, and l some
times think that they could have done
more than all the rest-better than
Greek, Roman or Slav.

Congressman NJ. D. Foster, Demo
crat. of Illinois. makes the declara-
ton that the Democratic tariff law
assisted in making a new record
for United States foreign trade. with
huge balance in our favor"
Such statement Is plainly due 10
either ignorance or mendacity. Not
even the authors Of the law predict
ed such results or now claim such
accomplishments to its credit The
record made public by this admins
tration expressly dIsproves such a
claim. The balance OF trade in our
favor during the ten months the
Democratic tariff law was in force
prior to the war decreased $3.50. OOO.-
600 as compared with the balance
for the corresponding period under
the Republican tariff law.
The fact Is that the Democratic
tariff hurt rather than aided our
foreign trade. and the war revived
our trade in spite Of the Democratic
tariff.

Hughes held his ground against the

and compelled them to listen TO him.
Then, having forced their attention,
he told them what he thought OF re-
cent demonstrations in the Democratic
Congress. where reason had given way
TO fear and where legislation without
investigation had been forced from a
cowardly majority. encouraged In their
poltrooncry by Democratic presi-
dent.
The reaction. even from the hostile
audience. was prompt and unmstak-
able. From the country it has been
even more so The thinking people Of
this land are of one mind over the
humiliation OF our legislative institu-
tons during the consideration Of the
so-called eight-hour law. They realize
that much more is ut stake in proceed
urc Of that kind than can be measured
in the money cost Of strike or in the
hardships which would follow a strike.
or in the expense which the public
must bear in paying the increased cost
OF transportation which the lcgisla-
tlon involves.
They realize that II such things are
possible now and if such things are
permitted to occur again. there is no
hope for free institutions in this coun-
try and that legislation and admins
tration will henceforth he at the mercy
of whatever organized group may sec

They realize. too. that such things
would not have been possible now but
for the incxcusablc interference of the
president in the negotiations between
the railroad men and the railroad man
ayers. The president interfercd from
political cupidity IN the first place;
and he permitted the situation to get
out of hand through political coward
ice.
Hughes has shown that he is pos
sesscd by neither fear nor cupidty.
