NO ADVANCE GRADUATION
FOR WEST POINT CADETS
War Department Decides Against
Suggestion, Though Army Vacan-
cies Are Rather Slowly Filled.

Although progress in filing the 1900
ant in the enlarged regular army has been
rather slow thus far. the War Department
has decided not to advance the grad
uation Of the senior class at the West
Point Military Academy. 1t had been
suggested that the class of approximately
146 cadets complete their term in Janu-
airy, next year, instead of June. but
after careful consideration the depart
ment directed that the regular course be
followed.
Since Congress authorized the selec-
ton of second heutenants from civil life
from the ranks of the army and from
the organized militia. after examination,
nearly 1000 men have been designated to
appear before examining boards. Nearly
500 of these have - examined, about
two-t thirds of whom passed the tests, al
though there are details still to be COM
pleted in many cases which will make
uncertain just now many officers will be
obtained. Additional examinations will
he held in November and again in Janu
airy. and still others rapidly as new
classes of candida ties are formed
Department officials expect to obtain q
hundred or more second HeutenantS from
the enlisted personnel of the army on
the basis of reports of examinations re-
ceived thus far. 1t is regarded as inn
probab BILE, however, that all vacancies can
be filed before July l next, when an adj
ditional shortage will be shown by the
organization of the second annual in
crease of the military establishment al
vacancies in the grade of second Iteuten-
ant will be created at that time.

STATE CHARITIES BOARD
MAY BE REORGANlZED
Broadening of Its Powers Urged by
c. n. Strong, Following Inves-
tigation In New York.

ALBANY, y. Y, October 2s.-Reor-
ganfzation of the state board Of chart-
ties, broadening of its powers and the
curtaflment of come Of the inspection
powers of the New York city depart
ment of charities are recommended in
g. report Of Charles H. Strong, spc-
cial commissioner appointed by Gov
Whitman to Investigate the admins
tration Of charitable institutions.
Referring to the wire tapping" con-
troversy between Mayor Mitchell OF
New York and some Catholic clergy
mon, the report declares that some OF
might have been avoided If the pam
phlet published in connection with the
inquiry had never been issued.
Commissioner Strong finds that there
is no basis for the claims that the OBJ
ject Of the 191i-15 charities investisa-
ton by New York city authorities was,
as varfously charged, to destroy the
institutions: to convert the private in
stitutions into public institutions; TO
place out all the children in private
families: to secularize the institutions;
to take God out of the hearts of the
children; to found charity upon morals
and not upon religion or to attack par
ticularly the institutions Of one re-
ligious faith"
The view is expressed that the "city's
investigation of 191415, over and above
all resentments that have been aroused
has been of incalculable value to the
children in the institutions"

though the central powers had been
weakened. Undoubtedly men In Bucharest
imagined the central powers had reached
the stage in which they were unable to
fight against Rumanian troops, otherwise
Rumania would not have taken SO foolish
a step. If Bratiano (the Rumanian pre-
mier) had thought for one moment his
country might be occupied by the central
powers instead of the Rumanians holding

Armenian Question.
The Armenian question has been dis
posed of, said HALL Bey.
THE position of our government in
this respect has never been fully I'M
derstood," he went on. 81 wish to say
that the Young Turks have always
looked upon the Armenians as val
liable asset to the Turkish empire. The
fact is, we needed them. The country's
commerce was largely in their hands,
and as farmers the Armenians have a
great value. We did not look upon them
as valuable chattels, however We were
willing to give them all equal share in
the government. which we did. as is
shown by the fact that before the out
break of the war we had a large num-
Der of Armenians in the chamber of
deputies. and also several senators and
a minister Nearly all the vice minis
tiers were Armenians. due to the. fact
that we recognized the ability of the
Armenians, and were ready to give
them their political rights in the ten
ancy of a proportionate number of pub
lie offices.

In discussing international relations,

The elimination of these handicaps

Sweeping Measure Necessary.

The Turkish foreign minister said that
the Armenian organization made 1t impos-
sible to confine the steps taken against
the Armenians to single locality in re-
bellion, because the organization was so
perfect that only a sweeping measure at
the first hint of an uprising could meet
the situation. Hall Bey continued:
II Will say that the loss to the Otto
man empire through the deportation of
the Armenans has been immense The
Armenian is able and Industrious, and,
therefore. valuable in the economic
scheme. but what could be doneo We
were at war, and obliged therefore. to
employ every means to make secure our

Take Up separatistic Ideals.

after the revolution all went we'll
for a time, and the Young Turks hoped
they had finally found a solution to the
problem which had vexed the old
regime in Turkey for many years and
had retarded the progress of the coun-
try. The Balkan war. however, caused
the Armenians again to take UP their
separatiStic ideals. The committees
formed an organization, with the in
tention of securing for the Armenians
AN autonomous government.
81 think 1 would be the last man to
deny a people self-government, but the
case of the Armenians is one where
this must be done. The Armenians,
spread throughout Asia Minor and
southern Russia, are merely majority
in the districts usually designed as
Armenia. Armenian autonomy, there
fore, would lead to the loss Of the in
dependence of the other Ottoman races.
Under these conditions, even the young
Turks were opposed to the Armenian
plan. but in justice they wanted to give
the Armerians a fuller share in the
government, which was done, and even
our worst traducerS cannot deny that
when the war broke out we knew
exactly what the Armenians were do
ing. More bombs, rifles, ammunition
and money had been brought into the
country. and their organization was
made even more perfect.

of a cracked rib which he sustained
over a week ago from being thrown

The spelling contest at Belleview

to nominate trustees to be voted for
at an election to be called soon to
take charge of the matter of irriga-
tion. Two gentlemen who live be-
low here and J. r. Millner of this
neighbOrhood, nominated by the Tai
ent meeting last week, were en-
dorsed. Resolutions of thanks and
appreciation for the work done by
the Talent Farmers Club were voted.
The report on one survey already

tanning to irrigation generally were

is that we must have irrigation If it
can be had at a reasonable cost.
