MUCH PLEASED WITH
 FIRST DAYS WORK
Men Enrolled At Fort Ogle- thorpe Are Learning
 Military Movement

Fort Oglethorpe Ga, May 4.-Officers commanding the southern military train ing camp here tonight enthusiastically commented on the progress made the first day "The men just enrolled entered the field this morning a mob of untrained civilians, they are learning military ac- ton remarkably fast and the evening drill showed they did very well,r said Capt John w. Gullick, commander of the first battalion, second training camp regiment, addressing the regular army men and the 250 military students tonight.
 Training camp officers tomorrow will begin campaign to enlarge the enroll ment by offering special inducements to members of the National Guard. Capt. Gordon Johnston. aide-de-camp to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, issued the following statement:
 Tn reply to numerous inquiries as to the opportunity for members of the Ma tional Guard of all states to attend the military training camp just opened at Fort Oglethorpe Ga, I wish to inform all who are interested, officers and en- listed men, that they may present them- selves in person and that they will be allowed to attend for such a period as they can afford to spend in camp. It is advisable that all such applicants present themselves in camp well in advance of the maneuver march which the training battalion will make in connection with the regular troops about May P. Mem bers of the National Guard so reporting will be charged only for the time actually i'll camp a pro rata share of the amount required for the entire period. Those supplied with regulation uniforms will be permitted to use them"

EULOGY FOR
 DEFENDER OF KUT
tcontinued from Page One,

General Townshend decided to hold the strategically important position at Kut- El-Amara and it would not be forgotten that his dispositions for the defense of the place were so excellent that the Turks. notwithstanding their numerical superiority, were not able to penetrate his lines. The house would not fail to realize. the war minister believed, how tense was the strain upon these troops. which for more than 20 weeks had their positions under conditions of abnormal climatic difficulty and on rations cali culated for protraction to the farthest pe- riod until, as it proved, imminent star vation compelled their equalization.
 General Townshend and- his troops in their honorable captivity, added Lord Kitchener, would have the satisfaction of knowing that in the opinion of their comrades, which was shared by the house and the country, they did all that was humanly possible to resist to the lass, and their surrender reflected no discredit on the record of the British and Indian armies.
 Every effort had been made said Lord Kitchener, to relieve the beleaguered gar rison, and adverse clements alone were responsible for the lack of success. Con- stant rain and the consequent floods hac not only impeded the advance, but had compelled, in place of turning move ment, direct attack upon an impossibly narrow front.
 No praise would appear extraya gant for the troops under Generals Lake and Gorringe, and that they did not reap the fruit of their courage and devotion was solely due to circumstances. which fought against them

mayor of Limerick and known as the Irish Bacon King" According to the testimony of witnesses at the investi- gation conducted by Senator Phelan or California into Sullivan's conduct as minister to San Domingo, Sullivan was active and very well known in Irish American organizations, including the Clan Ma Gael
 Directors of the recently organized Sons of Irish Freedom denied a report that Sullivan was the representative Tn Ireland of that society. It was assert ed that Sullivan was in Ireland when the society was formed.
 Sullivan was born in Killarney, lre- land, June G. 1873, and came to Mas sachusetts with his family when very young. When the father later moVeu to Connecticut. Sullivan entered news paper work and was employed on the Hartford Courant and the Waterbury American. He was graduated from the Yale Law school with the class of l9Vz and came to the New York city to practice law. He was married in 19lo

TO SEEK HIS RELEASE

New York, May 4.-Leaders of the cause of Irish independence in this city united tonight in declaring that every effort will be made to bring about the release of James M Sulli- van, arrested in Dublin. They are con- vinced, they said, that he took no ac- tive part in the preparations for the recent revolt and base their opinions on letters recently received from him. The state department, it is asserted will be asked to intervene because Of Sullivan's American citizenship.
 "Of course" said representative of John Devoy, editor of the Gaelic American. Sullivan took sympa- thetic interest in the cause of Irish freedom. He made no secret of his beliefs and won his reputation as an orator in his frequent lectures on the subject in various sections of this country" Jeremiah O'Leary, an intimate friend of Sullivan, declared he went to Ire- land last June with his wife and small son merely to live with his father in-law Stephen OMara, former

behind him in efforts to avoid breach in relations with~the United States. 50 far as can be done without sacrificing the principle enunciated in the German manifesto of February S."
 This manifesto of February announced to the world Germany's intention of treat ing as warships armed merchant ships of hostile nations on the ground that they were armed for purposes of offense, and that commanders of British mer- chantmen had instructions to attack Ger man submarines
 The position of the United States is that merchant ships have right to arm themselves for defensive purposes.
 Some officials tonight found hope full indication in press dispatch which stated that considerable perturbation was apparent in Berlin over the effect which Concessions" to be made might have on German public opinion.
 President Wilson and Secretary Lansing prepared to remain up late tonight to see the unofficial text of the reply carried in press dispatches, but abandoned the idea when it became known that the dis patches would not be available before morning. A special corps of operators was kept on duty at the state depart ment to receive the official text, though at midnight word had not come from Ambassador Gerard that he was ready to start the document

CONFEREES ON ARMY
 BILL DEADLOCKED ON
 THE MAIN FEATURE
tcontInued from Page one)

the Senate at this time because our con ferees are unanimous and the Senate has already passed on the subjects Tn controversy.
 Up to the time of the break, which had been forecast, the conferees had been making good progress on regular army reorganization and reserve features. They had tentatively agreed on standing army in time of peace of 1S0,000 men, 40, : GOO more than the House bill carried, and an elastic organization scheme contained in the Senate bill, which would provide for expansion in time of war or threat ened war to 220,000 mon. They also agreed to the House bill reorganization plan for the. National Guard, which would provide for liberalization of this reserve force and it's expansion to approximately 4Oo,Oe0 men.
 Early in the day Representative Hay chairman of the House conferees, dis cussed the voluntary army reserve sec ton of the Senate bill with President Wilson The President was understood to favor it. although no statement was made regarding the conference Representa- tive Hay is said to have told the Presl- dent that the House would not accept the voluntary force. This section of the Sen ate bill provides for reserve federal force of approxima tely 260.000 citizen sol diers in addition to the National Guard.
 Champions of the National Guard feared that the proposed new force would operate to the great disadvantage of the guard, and there was strong opposition 10 the plan in both House and Senate. In the Senate the voluntary force won by a majority of only two votes. Represen- tative Hay in his talk with the Presi- dent also discussed the nitrate plant feature and the President insisted that it should be left in the bill. This attitude of the President is understood to have precipitated the disa agreement today, al- though the other phase of the dispute would have caused the break anyway.
 In accordance with his pledge to the House on the nitrate issue, made when the bill was sent to conference, Chair man Hay could do nothing except ask the House for further instructions. He promised the House that it's conferees never would agree to the nitrate plant proposal without being instructed to do so.
 If the President continues to insist on the nitrate plant provision, it was de- clared another clash between the execu-. tive and the House would ensue. Re publicans are standing soldly against the nitrate provision, insisting that it is being urged by water power'' lobby. Many democrats oppose it.
 Chairman Hay said tonight, however, that there was no ground for the charge that the water power interests would profit by the erection of a plant.

BERLIN IS PERTURBED

Berlin, May 4-By Wireless to the As sociated Press, Via Tuckerton, lS. J.)-The reply to the American note on submarine warfare is believed to have been handed to Ambassador Gerard this afternoon Considerable perturbation is expressed over the effect which concessions may assume on public opinion here.
 Dr. Won Bethmann- Hollweg, the im- perial chancellor, undoubtedly will have the great mass of the people with finn in desire to avoid breach in the diplo- matic relations with the United States, so far as can be done without sacrificing the principle enunciated in the German manifesto of February B.
 The chancellor with Admiral von Holtz- endorff, head of the naval general staff; pr. Karl Helfferich, the secretary of the treasury, and other participants in the council at headquarters, returned to Ber- lin early this morning.
 The note with it's explanation of the German attitudetoward the British star vation" policy, will be one of the longest diplomatic documents of the war It will be released for publication here in all probability on Friday morning.

 Sullivan was exonerated once by Secre- tary Bryan but the charges against him would not down, and a second investiga- tion resulted in his resignation. Former Governor Fort of New Jersey, who con- ducted the first investigation, declared Sullivan was big-hearted, good-na- tured, honest Irishman."
 Sullivan sailed from New York last July for Liverpool with his wife and son, say ing he was going to Limerick Ireland to visit his mother. He was born in Killarney in 1873. and came to the United States in childhood

MANY VOTERS WILL NOT EXERCISE THE
 RIGHT OF CASTING SECOND CHOICE VOTE
Continued from Page one)

date receives majority of first choice votes he will be declared the nominee regardless of how many second choice votes he or any of his opponents may have received.
 If he has not received a majority of first choice votes. then the nomination will be between the two candidates re- ceiving the highest number of first choice votes, together with the sec ond choice votes they receive. First and second choice votes will then be added, and the candidate receiving the highest number of both will be nom mated. A third candidate may receive a majority of second choice votes, but unless he is one of the two receiving the highest number of first choice votes they will not be counted in his favor.
 Yet, however much has been said and written on the subject of first and second choice votes. it is doubtful if many voters will express a second choice at the polls next Tuesday. The impression seems to be more or less general, particularly among those who understand the law, that second choice vote is a vote against first choice candidate. A candidates nom ination may depend upon the number of second choice votes he receives and his nomination may have been aided, in apparently no innocent way, by his opponents friends, laboring under the misapprehension that they were com pelIed to cast a second choice vote. So it is generally considered that a sec ond choice vote is a wasted vote.
 The law prohibits single shotting. "A ballot commonly known as a sim gle shot shall not be counted" it says, Where two candidates or more are to be nominated for the same office the voter must express his choice for as many candidates as there are offices to be filled"
