GEN. SCOTT REVIEWS
STUDENT OFFICERS
Several Hundred Washinstonians in
Parade at Fort MYer.

Gen. Hugh L. Scott, Chief of STAFF
Of the United States army, and sew
eral hundred Washingtonians were
interested spectators at the first regi-
mental review of the student officers
at Fort Myer yesterday afternoon at
$50 O'Clock. Following retreat a pho
tograph OF the entire regiment was
taken.
Although only 1.415 candidates have
reported at the camp thus far. by
September 5. there will be $50 student
officers in camp, according to a state
ment made yesterday by Capt. T. H.
Middleton, acting adjutant
This week will be devoted to light
drills. in order to prevent any i'll ef-
fects from the typhoid vaccinations
which candidates have just undergone.
A vaudeville show every Friday
night in the riding hall will be one
of the many entertainment features
which local organizations are planning
for the student officers.
Col. Fenton will submit FIVE reports
during the period of training on the
work performed by the regular army
and national army officers. and the
civilian student officers assigned to
the camp. The first report on the
efficiency or lack thereof displayed by
the officers and each individual candi-
date will be made on September Is,
the other four will be made each If
teen days thereafter.
Recognition of the fact that the
living cost Is mounting Is found in the
fact that a daily ration allowance
OF 60 cents instead of the 50 cents al
lowed at the first camp has been au-
thorized for the student officers.

turn reports to the Secretary of War.
The Secretary of War in his turn acts
under the general direction of the
President of the United States, who

The chain of authority reaches in
an unbroken line all the way from
the President to the newest recruit.
Ordinarily only the most general in
structions are issued by the higher
officers. The manner in which these
instructions shall be carried out is
left to the judgment of officers in
closer contact with the troops and
with a more intimate knowledge of
the conditions under which they are
working.

MEAT PRICES IN U.S..
Are DUE FOR TUMBLE
Packers May Make Substantial Re-
duction Following Hoover's Visit.

Meat prices throughout the nation
are expected to take n tumble within
the near future as the result Of Food
Administrator Hoover's visit to Chi
cage last week. Mr.. Hoover return
ed here yesterday and, while he re-
fused to make any statement, it is
understood that he made plain to the
packers that present prices would not
be tolerated and received from them
assurances that substantial reduc-
tions would result.
As a result of this visit, it is not
expected that the Food Administra-
ton will make any attempt to for
mally demand lower meat prices.
While there is some question as to
the authority the Food Administrator
may use, it is understood that
through a system of licenses and
other checks, he has made it plain to
the packers that there are more ways
of regulating prices than by issuing
formal orders as to just what prices
may be charged.

LESSON NO. l4-THE TEAM LEADERS.

Most of the men in the army are pri-
vate soldiers. Their work is of the
greatest Importance and deserves all
the respect and praise which it re-
ceives. A great many men in the
national army, however, will be am
bilious to rise to higher ranks. They
will find plenty 'of encouragement and
opportunity for promotion.
Ii you are one of these men, don't
allow yourself to forget the fact that
you can win promotion only by prov
ing your fitness in each duty intrusted
to you. 1t is a rare case when a
man is Jumped" several ranks ahead.
As a rule, he climbs from one rank
to the next higher rank after having
demonstrated in each position his in
telligence, honor, and reliability.
Noncommissioned Officers.
From the first-class privates are
usually chosen the corporals. These
are the squad leaders. They are ap-
pointed by the commanding officer of
the regiment on the recommendation
OF the commanding officer of the COM
pany. In addition to the regularly ap-
pointed corporals each company may
have one lance corporal. This is a
temporary appointment made by the
company commander for the purpose
OF testing the ability of some private
whom he is thinking of recommending
for permanent appointment. In case
the lance corporal does not make a
good showing. or for any other rea-
son, he may be returned to the ranks
when the commander of the company
sees fit.
Next above the corporal in rank
comes the sergeant. There are usually
TO II sergeants in company. I'm
less a sergeant has some other duty
assigned to him, he is normal the
leader of platoon. There are, how
ever, many special duties constantly
assigned to sergeants. The first SER
geant Tin army slang, the top SER
geant,), for example, keeps certain
company records, forms the company
in ranks, transmits orders from the
company commander. and performs
many other important tasks. The sup
ply sergeant sees to bringing up sup
plies of all kinds to the company.
The mess sergeant looks after food.
The stable sergeant is responsible for
the proper care of horses and mules.
~SAOA 81 6OohN the ud-
tional or regimental colors.
Sergeants and corporals are known
as noncommissioned officers, because
they are appointed by their regiment
al commanding officer. Officers of
higher ranks are known as commits
stoned, since they hold their rank by
virtue of commission issued to them
under authority of the President of
the United States.
Lowest in rank among the commits
stoned officers is the second lieuten-
ant Above him comes the first lieu
tenant and above him the captain.
These are the three company Off
GERS" The captain is ordinarily the,
commanding officer of a company,
while the lieutenants might be de-
scribed as assistant captains. In the
absence or disability of the captain.
however, the first lieutenant takes his
place and has full command, and in
the absence or disability of both the
second lieutenant takes the command.
Next above the captain is the major,

Denies aero PLANTS
ARE TO Be Seized
Howard E. Coffin. Aircraft Board
Head, Refutes Seizure" Rumors.

Howard Z. Coffin, head Of the gov
ernment aircraft board last night is
sued an unqualified denial OF reports
that the government contemplates the
seizure OF aeroplane plants because
many private airplane manufacturers
had attempted to "hold-up" the gov
ernment on contracts for aeroplanes
and aeroplane parts. He also assert
ed with emphasis that it had not been
necessary for the aircraft production
board to threaten to take over such
plants in order to prevent extortion-
ate prices.
1T is untrue that prices for aero
planes and parts were lowered only
after the government threatened to
seize the factories" Mr.. Coffin said.
There is not at this time nor has
there ever been any intention to take
over private plants"
Chairman Coffin declined to discuss
published reports that during the
eight months beginning last Septem-
ber, huge profits were made on aero
contracts. Mr.. Coffin referred all ques-
TONERS to the War Department, de-
claring that the aircraft board was not
in existence during the period when
the contracts were said TO have been
awarded.
