THE DEUTsCHLAND'S ATTEMPT.

Looked at as purely a sporting prop
osition, the feat of the German submer-
sible Deutschland commands respect and
admiration. The commerce ship braved
the Gordon of allies ships on the Euro
pean side of the Atlantic ocean, took her
chances with the sea itself steamed into
an American port with all due iaunti-
ness and has now steamed out again al
though her commander and his men knew
that Gordon of British and French war
ships was waiting just outside the three
mile limit ready to destroy or capture
their ship if such thing be possible
At least eight warships of hostile ma
tions were waiting just off the coast.
knowing that fact and knowing also
that the entire trip eastward across the
Atlantic would be fraught with greatly
increased dangers over the maiden trip
westward because of the mobilization of
warships and their constant search for
the fugitive, Captain Koenig and his men
excite the admiration OF all persons with
sporting blood in their veins by setting
forth. One does not need to be German
or pro-GerTnan in his sentiments to ap-
preciate a brave attempt in the face Of
great odds. One could almost hope that
the Deutschland might get through But
then, sentiments lying deeper than
mere sporting instinct gain the ascend
aney and-well we wait for the result.

some localities. They are reported
to be destroying the plant as soon as
1t Is out of the ground.

The cherry crop bids fair 10 be the

has injured 1t, but a few days more of

Grain and grass is above the aver

is very encouraging SO far. and we
hope the prospect will not decrease.

Sioux City, Oct. 5.--Steps to avert
the possibility of coal famine in
Sioux City probably will be taken by
the commercial Cub in view of the fact
that a shortage of coal threatens near
ly all large cities. Secretary w. E.
Holmes, OF the club, said that he would
make canvass Of railroad officials in
the city to determine the status of the
coal car situation, and if the outlook
presented itself as serious he will take
the matter up with the board of direc-
tors of the commercial club
Railroad men declare that while
there is no shortage of coal at present
consumers have not stocked their bins
to provide for colder weather. 1t Is
pointed out by nearly all officials OF
lines running into Sioux City that
thousa nds of coal cars this year are
being used in hauling grain and other
products, and that it would be impos-
sible to handle the coal situation in
the event of fuel rush. For this rea-
son it Is urged that consumers should
put in coal supplies Immediately.
The. commercial club. If necessary,
will take some action that would urge
the public to fortify itself against a
coal famine, Mr.. Holmes said.
1t was said in railroad circles today
that in Nebraska the grain car short
age has become so acute that in some
instances grain men have taken 1t
upon themselves to build roofs on coal
cars in order that grain might be
shipped in them.

TRAIN RESERVE OFFICERS.
Captain Mumma to Form Universit
Corps Under National Defense Act.

Captain Mumma to Form University
Corps Under National Defense Act.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Oct. 5.-Formation Of
reserve officers training corps at the
university of. Iowa as soon as the reg
ulations to be prescribed by the secre-
tary Of war arrive is promised by
Capt. Morton c. Mumma, new profess
sor of military science and tactics.
The national defense act passed last
spring contained a provision for estab-
lishment Of such corps at educational
institutions where instruction in mill
tary science is now given. The corps
will be made up, of students who nave
had the required two years Of rudi-
mentary training and who elect t
take further work.
The new law provides for payment
Of the cadet officers at the rate Of
thirty cents IA day or about 50 a
month. 1t obliges the government tc
furnish uniforms for both the officers
and the cadets. At present the stu
dents buy their own uniforms. The
government has announced, however
that funds with which to supply the
uniforms will not be available until
next year.
Upon completion Of the advanced
work in the military department, and
upon signing an agreement, the stu
dent officer will become member OF
the officers reserve corps for a pc
Rod Of ten years. During this time he
will be subject to call to the colors in
case of war, and he will be required to
attend summer camp mot to exceed
six weeks in duration once each year.
His expenses at the camp will be
borne by the government.
Or. he may, under certain conditions,
enter the, regular army for six months
as a lieutenant at a salary Of one hun
dred dollarsia month and with other
allowances of the grade.
Not only are future graduates to be
eligible for membership in the reserve
corps, but also the graduates Of the
past who have had the required mill
tary training will become eligible upon
completing certain prescribed require
ments In practical training. The mum
Der of eligibles on the officers reserve
corps list is limited to 10000
The object Of the plan is to give the
country a body Of trained men wha
can serve as officers and drill masters
in time of need.
