SAID HAD TO TAKE
CHANCES At SEA
CAPT. SERGEANT SAILED WITH
BRITISH SHIP YESTERDAY
MORNING.

While being aware Of the fact tha,
his chances for crossing the Atlantic
were anything but the brightes;.
Capt. Sergeant, on the British tramp
Aranchen, left yesterday morning.
The commander was aware of the
latest move of the German govern
ment, but he made it his business
to see that such news was kept away
from the crew. AS it is, he left with
less men than he should have carried.
AS stated in these columns yesterday.
eleven men refused to return on the
ship and some Of these are in the city
awaiting chance to get a vessel
engaged in the coastwise trade, which
is quite easy in the present great
scarcity of seamen.
In New York orders were issued
Wednesday night to the torpedo boats
stationed at quarantine to preserve
neutrality, not OF permit any vessel
either neutral or flying the flag OF
one of the belligerents, to PASS out
. The order applied not only to steam
ships, but to tugboats. Several tugs
which passed quarantine early in the
evening before the order was issued
were compelled to return to port. The
purpose of the order was not disclosed
1t is feared by some local people
interested in the foreign trade that
until the end of the war. which
seems far distant, it will be a hard
matter to charter ships of any kind
for voyages across the sea. Shin
brokers' in New Orleans ed New
York say they will make no charters.
This port, like every othvr one in
America, will suffer fnanc' ally as
result of the latest German mc,e.

OFFICERS AT TOP MUST MAKE GOOD

on the work ahead. With the officers
Of regulars who have been appointed
there are the brigadier generals of the
National Guard and the two major gen.
erals of the same organization who
also must make good or step down and
out before the times comes to go to
France.
The reasons for this ought to be ap-
parent. The United States has en-
tered upon a war which is to be car
ried on after new military methods.
Few Of the men, If any, who now hold
major general rank ever have had an
opportunity so much as to see a divi-
sion Of troops In the field, let alone
opportunity to command a division.
Must Make Good.
The work which these major gener-
ais and brigadier generals Of regulars
and of National Guardsmen do in the
training camps will decide whether or
not they are to be allowed to continue
their work in command Of large bodies
of troops on the fighting line in France.
1t takes only reading Of the list
of the names of the officers recently
given general rank In the army to
prove that the United States finally
has an army In the field none Of whose
commanding officers received promo
tion because of political influence. In
1898 when the Spanish war began, men
with political pull in some instances
were given high commands. The re-
suits in number of cases were disas-
trous. The general stafr Of the army,
aided by civilian officials Of the war

Men Recently Appointed to High

Work In Training Camps viii Decide
Who Are to Command Troops

France.
BY EDWARD q. CLARK.

Washington. - When the training
camps for the men of the new National
army are pitched and the young Amer
leans march in to begin their military
studies, every one Of them can know
that the officers who are in command,
particularly those Of the highest ranks,
also are just entering school to learn
lessons.
1t may not be that the officers Of
the service who are to rule over the
new camps either as major generals or
brlgadier generals have full realization
that such is the case, but the fact Is
that in a large sense these officers
themselves are entering into camps
where, like the young civilians who
Joined the officers reserve camps, they
must either make good or get out.
There are many general officers ap-
pointed to high rank recently who must
center their bodily and mental efforts

Washlngton.-Th traditional sword
will not clank at the heels of Amerl-
can army officers In France. This Is
the first time in American history the
officers sword has been abandoned In
battle.
The French and British armies
banned swords for their officers during
the first year Of the war. The Amer
lean army now follows suit by official
order of the war department.
The reason is simple and sufficient.
During the first year of the war French
and British officers were easily dlstin-
guishable from their men by their
swords, uniforms and insignia and the
boche sharpshooters concentrated their
fire on them with deadly effect. The
idea ever since has been to make COM
manding officers look as much like en-.
listed men as possible.
Couldn't Tell HaIu From Private.
II you met General HaIg, commander
In chief Of the British field forces, at
the front In France, you couldn't tell
him from private until you got close
enough to shake hands with him.
The insignia Of French, British and
American officers on the western front
now cannot be seen farther away than
the whites Of their eyes can. They
wear the same uniforms and carry the
same arms as the enlisted men of their
commands.
The war department has employed
experts to devise cloth colors and but
ton and insignia material to make the
troops as nearly invisible as possible.
The buttons on the army field service
uniform are dark bronze. The insig-
MIA on an officers coat are small
bronze, dull silver or gold devices
which cannot be seen across the street.
The only difference between the in
sigma on the collar of an officer and
on that Of an enlisted man is that the
enlisted mans letters are on a disk,

department, succeeded In preventing
political influence from taking effect
In the recent promotions to high army
rank.
There are yet to be appointed a good
many men to field work service in the
new National army, that is to the
ranks Of colonel and lieutenant colo
mel and major. 1t is not believed that
political influence will avail to affect
these promotions any more than II
availed In the naming of major gener-
als and brigadler generals. The war
department has realized, and has said
so, that 1t may have to go outside Of
the army and the National Guard to
secure the services of some officers
for comparatively high rank. There.
will not be enough material in the
service to supply all the field officers
needed. 1t must be remembered that
thousands upon thousands Of the reg
ular and National Guard officers are
very young men, and the majority Of
them have not had enough experience
to justify, from the army point Of
view, their appointment as first and
second in command of regiments.
The war department officials today
have in their possession a list Of names
of only II men outside the present
service who may be considered for
field officers rank. It is said that there
are some few political pets on this list,
that is, men who have received the
Endorsement Of senators or representa-
tives or governors, or someone else
high In the service of one political
party or another, but II is pretty well
known that even those men who re-
ceived the Endorsement Of politicians
have had previous military experience
and have been put on the list, not be-
cause Of their political Endorsements,
but in spite of them.
Commissions for Some.
IT is said that 1t does not follow at
all because there are II civilians listed
rs available for army appointments
that all Of them are to be given COM
missions. 1t is probable that not more
than eight or ten Of them will be given |
places at the outset, but the chances
are that later when we must raise big
ger armies more of these men will
be appointed and that to the list al
ready in existence other names will be
ndded.
An amusing story Is being told here
Of a United States senator who, find
Ing that his influence was not to avail
In securing appointments for political
friends, cast about him for means Of
getting some credit for himself out Of
the appointments that were made with
out any reference to him. This sena-
tor, It is said, wrote to the men from
his state who had received commits
sions and called their attention to the
fact that he had not tried to prevent
their appointment. The chances are
he did not even know that they were
going to be appointed, but he did his
best to secure the good will, by the
only means possible, Of the men who
had been given preferment without any
reference to their frlendliness with the
political powers Of their home states

Ghost Revealed Hidden Gold.

A ghost showed man hidden store
of gold in Roseburg, Ore, the other
day. This was the story told by a
Chinese cook who recently found 5000
in gold in the house of Hop Lee, who
was a victim of the tong wars two
years ago. He says that the ghost
of his murdered friend directed him
to the treasure. The money was found
in a paper bag in plain sight of all
who entered a room that had never
been occupied since the murder. The
Chinaman said that the dead man
would have killed him if he had not
obeyed the ghostly summons.
