Twenty Embryo Officers to

81 Paul, July 17.-More students at
the Fort Smelling reserve officers
training camp will go TO eastern avia-
ton schools early next week.
Ten of the men whose names will
be announced soon. have qualified for
entrance to the schools and will leave
the first Of the week, Captain Charles
Mason, adjutant said last night. AL
ready twenty men have gone to Cana
de- for training.
More than 200 applications for the
aerial corps r or, file, and Captain
Mason says one or two men are be-
ing examined each day.
An important part Of the last
months training at Fort Smelling will
be the actual camping out Of the COM
panies.
Officials plan to have at least one
company out each night. The men
where they will cook their own meals
and do outpost and guard duty. Dur
ing the four weeks remaining. parades
will be held every day. 3
The trenches which the men dug in
the past two weeks were the scene Of
lively bayonet rushes yesterday. U.s.
ing the British French manual Of the
bayonet, the men rushed the earth
work and crossed to the trenches Of
the enemy, elashing here and there
the imaginary enemy. Such practice
win be common during the next two
weeks.
Captain Mason said that the splen-
sdid weather has benefited the camp.
Harder work both mentally and phy-
sically has been DONE. he said,

at times seems insurmountanle op-
stacles to land an effective lighting
force in France at the earliest possible
moment.
& Up to a few weeks 8 it was not
thought good strategy to send more
american soldiers to France this year
than was necessary to vidence our
good faith to our allies and for moral
effect on, Germany.
The allies had about given up all
hope of landing h dow
on Germany this year
Russia's ability to renew an Often
siye on the eastern front was doubled,
and II. was thought America could best
contribute to the final overthrow OF
the kaiser by diverting all possible
shipping to the feeding of her allies
and supplying them with necessary
war material, while training her arm
les here.
Suddenly Russia, contrary to ex-
peutations, gathered herself together
and began to strike. Then came we'll
authenticated rumors of great dissat-
isfaction and unrest among the people
Of Germany.
The possibility Of defeating Ger
many this year again claimed the at
tention of the allied strategists, and It
was decided to press the enemy on
every front and try to force a dect-
sion.
I It is not too much to say that the
I,allieas hope the German people are
sufficiently disheartened SO that sig
months pounding on all fronts will
convince them they are doomed to
certain defeat, and cause them to turn
against their rulers.
To Do q Double Duty.
Under these suddenly changed con-
ditions, it was decided hat America
could best contribute to the end
sought by adding to the allies
strength on the western front as largo
ansaEInxsas possible, delivered as soon
rs possible.
The reason for this Is only partly
military. The bigger reason Is to
prove to the German people hat their
rulers lied to them when they told
them America would fight only with
her dollars, and could not send more
than a handful Of soldiers to Europe
in less than two years
When h news filters into Germany
that shipload after shipload Of Ameri-
can soldiers are landing in France a
year and a half before the kaiser and
Won Hndenburg said they could, 1t is
going to be pretty hard to restore the
morale Of the German people-at
least this is the reasoning Of the allied

PROHIBITION FIGHT
WAS REAL ISSUE in
PORTO RICO ELECTION

/. San Juan. P. R., July 17.-In the
general election the referendum on
prohibition overshadowed in interest
the election Of a resident commits
sioner to the United States and the
choice Of members Of both houses Of
the insuIar legislature.
Indications from early returns on
the referendum were that the race
between the prohibitionists and the
ant-prohibitionists would be close.
The first complete report from any
municipality gave a majority Of more
than 1000 for prohibition. q
Neither the unionist nor republican
parties have taken any stand On the
question Of prohibition, the socialist
party. the leaders Of which have as
serted they would cast 40, 900 ballots,
has worked for a dry island. In the
last general election the unionist vote
was 100000 and that Of the repub-
licans $4,000,

strategists and statesmen, and It
seems both rational and logical.
While 1t is impossible to get any
figures from the val department, It
is probable that there will be 200.-
900 soldiers in. France before the
snow flies. 1t is possible there will
be twice that number.
$4,000 Now With PerShing.
The Pershing expedition is merely
the advance guard. Pershing has
half a division. about $4,000 men.
This will be made a whole division;
after which a division OF militia will
follow and be followed by a division
Of regulars, and so IN.
1t has not yet been determined in
what order the militia divisions will
be sent.
The militia has been formally
called to the colors. The Presidents
proclamation names Aug. s for Its
formal mastering into federal service
and discharge from state control.
Within a few weeks thereafter many
regiments will be on their way to
France.
The difficulty OF transport service
will be somewhat relieved by the re-
turn to service Of the German in
termed ships, aggregating 5000 0
gross tons. These will be available
for the war department from August
on. Some of these ships are freight
carriers, while the Hamburg-AmerI-
can liners are peculiarly adapted to
fast TRANSPORT work.

81 washington, July 17.-American
scldiers are going to France just as
fast as transports can be pressed into
HeFvice to take them.
IS Just how fast this will be is some
what .problematical. If there were
enough transports available now, and
the situation In respect Of cargo ships
were satisfactory, it is probable h
EgEeat bulk of the regular army and
tho f~ederalized militia would be 1
France within the next few months.
Il Cargo ships are just as important as
transports, as the amount Of supplies
chat must b. taken to France for an
army of any considerable size is tre-
mendous.
&, OF course, 1t would be more than
folly to send troops to Europe any
faster than they can be supplied with
food, munitions, transport of every
character and the thousand and one
things that go to make up the oom-
plete equipment OF a modern army.
