that issues would be framed and sub
mitted to a jury under the caveat

are two, one involving the mental ca
pacity Of John r. Mclean and the other

huence in the obtaining Of the will or
in procuring its execution.

NONE AT Fl. MYER CAMP
WOULD ENTER AIR CORPS
No Applications for That Branch of
Service Yet, Though Large Num-
bers Are Expected Later.

Although large number are expect
ed later. there have been no applica-
tions as yet from student officers at
Fort Myer to Join the aviation section
for them to do SO under the plans re-
Gently announced to utilize the existing
camps for flying schools.
A large number of the men will fail
to get commissions from the present
training camps, and It is expected that
many so failing will go into the avia-
ton service.
The individual preference of each man
in training for the Officers Reserve
Corps at Fort Myer will be considered
when the corps is divided into infan-
try. cavalry, field artillery and other
arms Of service some time this week
AS far as practicable, the individual
wishes will be considered, but should
previous observation and the students
record show a peculiar fitness for some
other arm. that will be paramount.
Final decision will rest with the off,
GERS commanding the camp. Each
mans work has been under observa-
ton from the time he entered camp,
with a view to determining his fitness
for rank and branch Of service.
The corps will be divided into in
fantry, cavalry, field and coast artillery
and engineers. The engineers will leave
voir. Va, for their training. AT this
point they will be instructed in trench
ing, bridge building and the other du-
ties of engineers, and also in trench
war.
All branches expect TO see service in
France. Cavalry has been used very
rarely, as mounted troops, but coast
artillery probably will be called on to
handle the big guns in the field.
Able Flynn. a chaplain of the French
army, who has seen the war in France
since the start, talked to the students
yesterday at Fort Myer. He warned
them of many hardships to come but
said the consciousness of duty done
would reward them.

London Papers Hope Death of Ma
tionalist May Cause Irish Settlement

LONDON. June II, AIS am.-The
comments In the morning papers on
William Redmonds death are warm
ingly sympathetic. Hope. even expec-
tation, is expressed that his sacrifice
may inspire the coming Irish conven-
ton. and influence it toward a settle
ment of Ireland's weary discord The
hearty cooperation of the Irish ma
tionalist and Ulster troops at Mes
sines is emphasized in the same sense.
There were many pulpit references
to William Redmond. Ireland and Eng
land on Sunday when a similar note Of
hone was struck
1t is remarkable that by the fortune
of war Mr. Redmond was picked up
mortally wounded by an Ulster am
bulance and was attended in his last
moment by Ulster men.
A dispatch from Dublin intimates a
probability that the parliamentary
representation for East Clare. made
vacant through the death of Redmond
will fall into the hands of Sim Fem
ers. who are said to be strong there

great oversubscription of the liberty

enemies of your country that you have
not only two billion dollars here which
you are willing to place at the dis
posal of your government, but Ahat you
have five or ten billions of dollars or
more than that if required, to put at
the disposal Of your government to vim
dictate the ideals of America and to re-
the world, you will have dealt dis
graceful blow to your own country
and you will have put 1t in a most
critical position before the world"
IF the liberty loan is not fully sub
ecribed it would be the most disgrace
full stigma on EARTH" Mr.. McAdoo told
Chattanooga audience last night. IF
this happens we should be conquered"
he added. The Secretary said a few
people were giving the cowardly coun-
sci not to send men to Europe.
I'VE can't fight by long distance or
by paper" he declared. IF we didn't
go to the battle it would come to us.
The quicker we get into the fight the
easier 1t will be-
