Student Officers Show
Skill With Bayonet
Drills at Fort Myer De-
voted to Stimulation of
Trench Warfare

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-The mem
bers Of the Fort Myer Officers Re-
serve training camp are bidding fair to
become exceptionally expert in the
use of the bayonet. according to re-
ports from the camp to-day.
Special attention is being given TO
training with this weapon throughout
the camp. The handling Of the bayonet
in trench warfare being an obviously
difficult proposition. the student OF
ficers are devoting practically their
entire drill periods to n realistic sim
ulation Of Service" in the Fort Myer
trenches which they have constructed
themselves.
Practice with the United States
army rife on the government target
range at Edsall, Va, also has begun
for the students. Each company
makes the trip to the range lndivid-
ually and remains there two days.
So concentrated has been the bay
onet study at the present camp that at
the present time the members Of the
second training camp have practically
reached the point where the members
OF the first encampment concluded
their course. This does not. however,
indicate that bayonet work will be
dropped before the close of the camp,
some six weeks hence, but indicates
that the National army will receive
some 100 officers from the Fort Myer
camp who are expert in the art OF
modern warfare as applied to the
bayonet and the trenches.

Varying Stages of Prepared

Plans To Be Modified

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-The third
contingent Of National Army men will
begin moving tomorrow to the six
teen environments where approximate
" one-half of the $4,000 selected men
called out by the President already
have been modified. Quotas now
ready to leave home vary greatly,
ranging from Il to 20 per cent Of the
full state quotas. with general aver
age Of between 20 and 20 per cent.
Modification Of previous quota plans
was necessary because Of the condi-
tons at the environments and the
availability of equipment. Some can
tonments are much further advanced
than others and can accommodate a
larger percentage of men.
Definite figures are still lacking as

transferred to the National Guard.

other branches Of the army that will
have 20 be filled up to war strength.
1t is certain. however. that the men
remaining at the camps will not be
sufficient TO form the sixteen national
Army divisions at full strength.
Secretary Baker indicated to-day
that no decision had been reached as

There are may deficiencies to be
filed M in the 6rst draft. physical ex-
animation OF the selected men by

local boards to make good showing

which will in turn be filed up with men
from the draft army.
A request to-day was made on the
colonies to send to headquarters the
names of such "non-coms" ms they
deemed worthy Of being made second

officers q large number Of reserve off,
GERS have been detailed to the regi-
ments, and many of the aspiring non
commissioned officers felt that their
chances Of obtaining commissions at
this time were gone. II now appears
that promotions are to be made from

will not, 20 any great extent, be per-
manently attached to the first line regi-
ments.
