PREPAREDNESS IN COLLEGES
War Department Invites Heads of Universities to Discuss Advisability of Training Officers for Army.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Presidents of nineteen colleges and universities have been called in conference by the war department preparatory to estab- IShment of systematic methods for training reserve officers for the Unit ed States army in those institutions. They will meet at the army war col lege here Oct. IT, for discussion with the army general staff of military course to be organized in institutions desiring to take advantage of provi- SlOns of the army congratulations law.
 It has been estimated that the army must maintain a corps of 5O,- 900 partially trained junior officers to facilitate organization of any adequate military force should the nation have war With a power capable to at tempting invasion. The main source of supply for these officers would be institutions with approved military courses where military training under army officers is part of a students work. National guard organizations composed entirely of college students have been mustered out of the federal serVlce, so those men may compose the first increment of reserve officers to be drawn under the new plan.

DUTCH MINISTER DAZED
Cannot Believe German Government Will Uphold Captain of Submarine Which Sank Bloomeroijl1 Sunday.

The Hague, Wednesday, Oct. II, via London, Oct. 12, 1:15 p. m.-"I cannot believe that the sinking of the Bloomersdijk Will be upheld by the German gOVernm ent," Minister of Foreign Affairs LoudOn said today to a representative of The Associated Press.
 Minister Loudon, after having re- ceived a report on the case from the Washington envoy of the Neither lands government, was about to de- spatch a note to Berlin which, in customary diplomatic terms, asked an explanation for the sinking of this grain ship in the Atlantic off the New England coast last Sunday. He said he could not explain the act other than that it was committed in a mis- interpretation of orders by a hot headed submarine commander (fag- rant examples of such action, he noted having occurred before) who, having ascertained that the cargo was grain and that the ship would touch KirSwall, had sent her to the bottom without needing the fact that the grain was consigned to the Dutch government.
 If Admiral Won Tlrpitz had been at the head of affairs in Germany it would be understandable, added the foreign minister, but I do not be- lieve it of Chancellor Von Bethmann- Hollweg, and I fully expect, nay, I am sure, that Germany will disavow the act of her commander and tender rep aration for this absolutely unjustifi- able act.
