SAN FRANCISCO, May 10. -
The notes of the reveille blared
across the parade ground and
through the environments at the
Preside at $3.50 a. m. today and
the first Pacific coast reserve Of
ficers' training camp of the Ger
man-American war was on in

Scarcely had the last bugle
notes died away when there was a
hurrying and scurrying of the o.
500 students of the camp eager
to begin the three-months' grind
which will lead many of them to
army commissions.
At 10 a. m. the entire person
mel of the camp gathered on the
parade ground and Lieut.. Col.
Fred w. Slayden, commandant,
administered the oath.
The remainder of the morning
was devoted to organization and
assignment of companies and is
suanoe of equipment. This after
noon the rudiments of barrack
regulations were explained and
instruction was given in the mill
tary method Of arranging beds
and lockers.
Orders were issued today clos
ing all but two main roads
through the Preside grounds, In
order that drills may not be in
terfered with.

DEAL IS
SIGNED

A barrier to the city's immedi-
municipal tideflats street car line
was swept aside Tuesday when
the council received a signed
agreement from Manager Bean of
the T. r. e. p. Co., in which the
company promises to give up all
claims to the present line as soon
as the extension is completed.
Mayor Fawcett will sign the
agreement at Wednesdays legis-
lative session.
The agreement provides that
the T. r. & p. Co. shall continue
operation of the tideflats line I'M
til the city is prepared to run the
entire line between 18th and Pa
cific and the Todd shipbuilding
plant.
After that time the company
will furnish direct current cleo
tricity for city cars, but the city
must use all proper diligence in
purchasing machinery for the con-
version of its alternating current
into direct current for operation
of the cars.
Construction of the new city
line will now begin as soon as the
county begins filling 18th street
across the flats. Bids have been
called for this month on the work.
The city has already purchased
it's trolley wire for the extension,
and is now negotiating for the
purchase of $40 tons Of second
hand rails.

TWO GENERALS
RESIGN POSTS
in RUSS ARMY


PETROGRAD, May 15.-Gen-
erals Brusiloff and Gourks ten
dered their designations today.
They have not yet been accepted.
Brusiloff has been generally re-

the Russian generals. He was in
command of Russia's most sue
eessful offensive-that by which
the Austrians were driven out of
Przemsyl and Galicia. He has
been in command of Russia S
southeastern army since last June.
Presumably his resignation and
that Of General Gourks is due to
exactly the same causes as those
which brought about the resigna-
tion earlier in the week of Minis
ter of War Gutchkoff and Gen.

tinue in charge of the army while

Never Take Pepsin
For q Weak Digestion

Like most sufferers from poor
digestion, fermentation, sour
stomach, gas; acidity, catarrh Of
the stomach, bloating, distress
after eating or other stomach dis
orders, you doubtless think you
must dose yourself with soda-mint
tablets, pepsin or other digestive
drugs that give temporary relief
but weaken the stomach still fur
Their. Or else that you must en-
dure the misery of milk and
nursery diet. But If you will
form the pleasant habit of slipping
a glass of water containing Just .
teaspoonful of pure bisurated
magnesia with each meal you will
soon find your digestion so much
strengthened that you can eat
what you like without the slight
est distress. Bisurated magnesia
is not laxative and comes only in
powder and tablets-never as q
liquid or milk. 1t is sold by drug
gists everywhere.

A Dictator
EDITOR THE TIMES:

Woodrow Wilson, commander
in-chief, not only OF the army and
navy, but of the United States!
The present crisis demands that
this power be conferred upon our
president for the duration OF the
war, or until the expiration of his
term of office. Money, labor,
transportation, science. all our
material resources, as well as our
armed forces, must be under CEN
tralized authority.
Wars are won by quick deci-
sion, cooperation and prompt
obedience.
We're in this war; let's make
a good job Of it.
We can fruits Woodrow Wilson
we know him. We knew him
before he was president. We
have watched him for the past
four years. We reelected him
when ii was serious business. The
American people never voted more
carefully than in 1916.
We know the president is earn
est, sincere, capable, powerful.
We have found out that what he
wants for US is what is best for
us. Furthermore, what he wants,
he gets.
Therefore, let's let him work.
Get out of his way.
Better to let him make mis-
take occasionally while he is get

him to mark time while perhaps
a better policy is ground out by
the machinery of congress, only

shall we stand it? Congress
wrangles for days, only to come

WASHINGTON, d. c., May Is.
The war department today made
the following announcements re-
garding the registration of citi-

THE war department wishes to

there is only one day for registra-

day set.

rying out the work of registration.
All such offers properly should be
made TO the governors, who are
the heads of the registration ma
chinery in their respective states.
