within the first year Of the var the
Oxford university o. T. C. provided
over 300 three Of the smaller north

and the Inns Of Court D. 7. C.'s over
200. II was found necessary to give
temporary commissions even to uniyer-
sify graduates and the senior boys In
public schools Practically all pupils Of
the public schools applied for commits
sions IS soon as they reached the age
limit Excellent material for Junior
officers was found among the young
men who had gone to the colonies or
foreign countries TO take up life Of
adventure. No young men made better
officers than these. for all had taken
some risks they had been on their own
responsibility, and generally had men
under them and experienced dangers

For all practical purposes. most OF
the infantry subaIterns Of the new ar

they could In the intervals OF training

There was some compensation for thi2
however: the fact that the necessity OF
doing the nOncommissioned officers job
as well as their own gave the officers
greater proficiency and better under

An experienced British general writ
ing on the training OF some OF thesef
new divisions. said that a mass OF
civilians had been transformed In less
than eight months into an army which
had more practical training for war
than il had ever been possible to give
to troops In England before. There WAS

ranks. due partly TO the organizing
power of a short-hsnded staff. but

NO FAv0RITlSM IN DRAFT
seIective Service Act Is Specific and
Allows No Latitude to Re9:stra-
tion Officials.

Washington.-A statement has been
issued from the Office Of the provost
marshal general OF the Unified States
army as follows:
The attention OF the war department
has been called 10 the fact that fear
exists In some parts of the country
that some members Of the county and
city registration boards may be infiu-
enced by personal considerations 10
discriminate between young men who
are liable for service, and to make
friendship or some other consideration
moving factor In the selection OF
soldiers for the new army.
There Is no ground for such fear
The law is specific and allows no lad-
tude to the officials either In the mat
ter OF registration or in the later mat
ter Of exemption from service In
fact. the law is self-executing. Every
man within the age limits fixed BY
the selective-service act must register.
and the penalty. of the law for evasion
of registration will fall. not only on
the man who fails to appear. but on
any member Of q registration board
who may be shown TO be in COLLISION
with the person who attempts TO IS
cape his duty.
Further than this. the registration
boards except In certain specific cases
as where q young man who has reg
istered shall claim 10 be employed IN
q federal, state or local office. and
thereby does come within the exemp-
ton clause of the statute. In a case
like this the facts must be entered
officially and attested.
The law provides the penalty OF I'M
prisonment with no alternative OF s
fine for any official or any registered
man who shall make 8 false return or
conniye at such a practice. The safe
guards against favoritisin or evasion
are ample.
The response TO the governments
appeal for volunteer service has been
so prompt and general In its dIstri-
button that It is assured that In yirtu-
silly all the districts there will be Of
ficials whose sole moving purpose is
the patriotic one OF seeing 10 il that
the duties Of the Office are performed
in strict accordance with the require
