Two Thousand Training Camp
Graduates to France.
Will Be Used To Fill Promotion

Washington, Aug. IGNORE than
two thousand graduates from the first
series of officers training camps have
been assigned to go to France They
will receive further intensive training
there, and ultimately fill up the gap
caused by promotion of casualties. The
assignments are from all camps and
other assignments will probably be
made later.
This is the war departments an
swer to patriotic appeals from thou
sands of young soldiers who want to
see service in Europe now.
These boys, if the history of this
war repeats itself, will soon fill the
shoes of old officers at the front.
France and England both. during the
first two years, discarded their older
men for the aggressive quick thinllin g
and sturdy young. General Pershing
has recommended young officers for
France.

is possible under a draft system.

London, Aug. ia dispatch to

that Premier Kerensky denied that he
