 IN OFFICERS RESERVE CORPS
Approximately 2,ooo Men Throughout
 the Country Are Available.

Washington, Nov. 7--ApproXimately 2,000 men throughout the country have already qualified for commissions in the Officers Reserve Corps of the army, re- gently created by Congress. The act provides that the corps shall be an un- limited reservoir from which in time of war will be drawn the necessary ad- ditional officers for the regular army and those for all volunteer regiments that may be authorized. -sts
 Army officials are we'll pleased with the progress made in this vital steI toward adequate national defense. Ii is expected that within another year nearly 15, 900 officers will have been ac- cepted and commissioned, ready fo1 immediate active duty should the need arise.
 At the bureau of printing and en- graving the commissions for the re- serve officers are now being prepared They will correspond closely to those issued to officers of the regular army and will bear the signature of the president in every case.
 The Officers Reserve Corps, as dis tinct from the Reserve Officers Train ing Corps, also newly created, was designed by Congress to furnish with in the shortest possible time a great body of men whose ability, to lead

 lery, coast artillery, medical Gncluding dental and veterinary adjutant gen. erals, judg advocat generals, inspector generals, quartermaster generals en-

an interest charge on the community. Under the sinking-funds plan none of the bonds is retirabIe until the end of a definite period, and the entire sum raised bears interest for the entire life of the bond.
 The Departments experts say under the ordinary sinking-fund plan com munities pay interest on the money borrowed and in addition set aside each year as a sinking fund an amount suf- ficient to retire all the bonds when they become due. The sinking-fund is deposited with banks and earns some interest. That interest tordin- arily is only 3 per cent, whereas the commu unities pay five or six per cent. to it's bondhoders. The serial plan Is much cheaper, even though the sink ing, fund earns interest as high as four per cent, and and in the opinion of the road specialists should be utilized whenever it is possible to market seri- al bonds.
 A report on the subject has just been published by the Department of Agri- culture which is distributing it to in terested persons upon application.

 definite obligations to respond in
 stantiy to call to the colors. Every
 man must pass an examination be-
 fore board of army officers in which
 his knowledge of military theory and
 practice is tested. When he has been
 commissioned, the reserve officer keeps
 the commander of the military de-
 partment in which he lives informed of his movement, ready for mobilization.
 Reserve officers will be named in grades up to major and are selected for the various staff corps as well as the line. Included among those wl1o have already made application for ap- pointment are many doctors, engineers, telegraph and telephone specialists,
 railroad engineers, contractors and the like.
 The war department has issued reg uations governing the enrolment and training of the Officers Reserve Corps, the Reserve Officers Training Corps
 and for the minor schools which will eventually form a feeder to the train ing corps as the latter will be the main source from which the Reserve Corps | itself will be recruited.

Americans Caring for Serb Orphans

and clothing. But after these, the simplest and cheapest of foodstuffs {; wheat, cornmeal, rice, beans and sug- ar are the essentials. Our people are peasants. They neither know the use nor have acquired the taste for more elaborate things to eat. Last year they received a large quantity of green corn from the United States but they did not know how to eat it or what to do with it, and this valu- able shipment was wasted, on that ac- count. @
 'In the matter of clothing the simpl est and warmest garments are best In the early days of the war, we re- ceived many boxes from America and England in which kind ladies lad packed low-necked, flmy ball gowns If you could have seen the Serbian peasant women who needed fiannels c1utching, shinging- eyed, these gauzy creations of silk and chiffon, the like of which they had never dreamed ex- isted.
 The best way of shipment is for a central forwarding committee in New York to accumuate the supplies until shipload is gathered, then to hire a vessel and send all the supplies aboard her to Saloniki. There a distribution committee can be charged with seeing that they are placed in the way to dc the most good.

Athens, Nov. 7.-Nfiss Marcel1e Reed of La Grange, Oregon, who for two years has been caring for destitute Serbian orphans, has received from King Peter the order of Milorsche in recognition of her work. For the past three months during the ab- sence of Madame Dora Drouitch, the head of the H. F. Frothingham 1nst1- ute, assisted by Miss Emily Simmons of New York, Miss Reed finally broke down under the long strain and has returned to the United States for a rest. ';e
 Mrs. Charles H. Farnam of New York has just inspected the F1rothing- ham Institute on behalf of various American Serbian relief organizations. She has left Athens for Salonih where she will continue her work of study ing the needs of the Serbian refugees and the civil population of Serbia with a view of securing more unity in the American Serbian relief work to spare waste effort and duplication.
 Tt is wonderful what the people of United States have done and are do- ing to help distressed Serbia, he said. NO one can have any idea how much it means toeus. Without the help of the Americans so many Serbs would die that the Serbian people would be in danger of ceasing to exist.

RADICAL PARTY IN
 POWER IN ARGENTINA
President of That Persuasion in Office
 for First Time in History.

Buenos Aires, Nov. 7-The ordinary session of the Argentine congress end ed just previous to the recent change in government when a radical presi- dent assumed; power for the first time in history.
 The period just closed has not been remarka ble for legislation. The best paid parliament in the world, its achievements during the ordinary pc riod have been mediocre, practically nil. AS usual the estimates were left to be dealt with in extraordinary ses- sion. It is felt that the new admin istrator'S first serious difficulty will be in national finances. In regard to provincial finances they are seldom considered. They represent a perma- nent source of trouble-a chronic cha os. The situation is not improved by the studied silence of the new presi- dent, Dr. Irigoyen, whose prediction taciturnity has been maintained with the utmost rigidity. No one knows what his policy may be; his platform is an enigma.
 Among the last acts of the outgo- ing government were the framing by President de la Plaza, of sourd cur rency bill. The idea is to harmonize the paper peso" or dollar with a gold basis At present the paper dollar, legal currency, equals A cents gold. The presidents plan is to make Argen- tine paper dollar equal to a five franc French currency. Twenty cents Ar genuine paper would therefore be the minor unit equal to the franc It would thus meet the requirements of the decimal system and that of the nations comprised within the Latin

BRITISH LOSSES THROUGH
 SHORTAGE OF VESSELS
Thus Far Has Been Equivalent to
 4,ooo, 900 Tons of Shipping.

London, Nov. I'm a leading arti- cle on '@The Tonnage Shortage and the Remedy'' the Liverpool Journal of Commerce points out that the British mercantile marine has suffered a loss equivalent to four million tonsi of shipping, detailed as follows: Hin drance of new construction 100000 tons, war losses 1,520,G00, excessive depreciation, one million tons.
 Quoting Lloyds Register for the quarter ending September 30, 1916, in which vessels completed only totalled 71, 900 tons gross, the journal says seventy thousands tons per quarter, or one decent ship a week. is a ridic- ulous output. In spite of admitted diff faculties it is hard for the outsider to believe that this cannot be improved, while everyone claiming any general knowledge of the situation is well aware that many more ships could be turned out without interfering with more urgent requirements of any other section of our fighting machinery"
 The paper 5cla inns that a constantly increasing multitude of officials are be- ing employed to stifle the best efforts of the shipbuilders and apparently en- sure that what available labor and ma terial there is shall be wasted; and urges the necessity of appointing one strong man to govern everything, to GO" that available supplies are not A@-N' o~ N"'' ~ N,uo can nest build ships is given big chins tn build and in general to ar range things on a sensible basis.
 'Ine mel who have run the ship yards For years as business concerns, who have guided their policy for lifetime, find themselves helpless in the face of an invading army, which ap- parently thinks that in this grave cri- sis iHexperience is more likely to yield good results than expert knowledge.
 What is required is the appoint ment of a dictator, an individual who is intimate with the shipbuilding in dustry and whose career is a guar antee of strength of character, sound ness of judgment and outstanding ability. Such a man could be found if desired and if such an appoint ment were immediately announced, the relief to the shipbuilding world would be instantaneous"
