HOLD BACK APPLICATIONS

OFFICIALS SHOWING CONCERN
Pointed Out That Those OF Demon.
strated Executive Ability in Civil
ian Pursuits, Ranging in Age From
% Upward, Are Earnestly Desired.
IRy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON. July 5.-Convinced
that many desirable men are holding
back their applications for the second
officers training camps because of q
misconception OF the requirements,
Adjutant-Gcneral Mccain issued a
statement Tonight making il clear
that Intelligent and forceful" men
are wanted. even IL they are under
thirty-one years OF age. and without
military training.
The previous statement OF the War
Department that 1t will be difficult for
men within the draft age or without
military experience to gain admission
TO the camps has resulted, officials be-
lieve. in an impression that applica-
tions from such men will not be con-
sidered. On the contrary. it is pointed
out, those of demonstrated executive
ability In civilian pursuits. ranging in
age from twenty five upward, are
earnestly desired
Genera! McCain's statement was
given out with request that the
newspapers give il prominence, be-
cause success OF the second camp series
depends on correction of the prevail
ing misconception. 1t follows:
statements that mature men will
be given preference for the second
series OF officers training camps seems
TO have been misunderstood in some
quarters. ThN preference will only
apply where qualifications are equal.
There is no intention 10 bar out ap-
phcations of men under thirty-one.
In fact. examining officers have been
instructed 20 regard the ages twenty
tive to thirty-five as the most suitable
There is also some misunderstanding
about the necessity OF previous mill
tary experience. The government is
looking primarily for intelligent and
forceful men. and military experience,
though desirable. is not strictly neces-
sary."
Appica tions for these camps will
close on July Is.
Army officials are showing some con-
Germ over the few applications received
thus far. In the New York district,
where it was expected 10000 or more
applicants would present themselves,
less than 1000 have applied.

With the Russians holding their
gains In EGalicia against Austr Q. Ger
man attacks, the indications OF
stronger activity in the other war
theaters are multiplying.
On the western front the British have
advanced. and the French artillery is
active from north of the Aisne to the
Meuse; the artillery activity has in
creased on the entire Austro-Italian
front; there has been greater local
activity in Roumania. and on the
Macedonian front the Germans have
taken the offensive on small sector.
Around Brzezany, and near Lipnica-
dolna. on the Narayuvka, north Of
Brzezany, the Austro-German forces
have attacked the Russians in attempts
to regain the territory lost early in
the week. Their efforts against Rus
sian advanced posts east OF Brzezany
were checked by the Russian artillery
fire. and two attacks near Lipnica-
dolna were broken up.
Further south. along the Hungarian
Roumanian border, and In Roumania.
where there has been no violent fight

shall Won Mackensen's drive last fall,

have been reports recently that tho

Again, the many courtesies that were extend

The extent of a persons donation for the Red
Cross work is matter that the conscience of the
individual donor must measure. No hard and
fixed rules can be laid down. but if a person gave
donation so small that it must blush for shame
in comparison with the gift of some poor day la
borer, that mans conscience will get busy as soon
as the first American casualty lists are pub

The splendid organization of the county is
due in a large measure to the untiring zeal of
Mr.. E. M. Haas. The community owes him a
measure of gratitude that is gagged by the splen-

pleasure to commend Mr. Haas for his work in or
ganizing the Red Cross work in this community.

MANS BODY FOUND

EATON, o., June $3.50 badly de-
composed that Identification is impos-
slole, the body of man was found
late Monday evening in the woods
on the William Earman farm, about
two miles west of Eaton on the Mos.
quito road.
Discovery of the body was made by
Lawrence Rcdeffer, 10 years old, who
told Coroner Beane his investigation
was prompted by an odor. He says
ne first noticed the odor Saturday.
The body was found in a clump of
priars and brambles, lying face up
ward. Across his breast lay several
pieces of extra clothing and an imita-
ton leather suitcase. =
The body was brought here and
taken to Mound Hill cemetery, where
the coroner made an examination. 1t
was impossible to determine whether
the man was white or colored. He
was about feet inches tall and
probably 60 to SIS years of age. His
clothing were good and he wore a
pair of practically new shoes. Along
side the body were found two bottles,
one which had contained whiskey and
the other something undetermined.
While the left side of his skull bore
slight evidence of blow, it is not
thought he met foul play The body
showed evidence of having been ex-
posed for more than two weeks.
