LIEUTENANTS IN THE U. S.
TO BE HELD NEXT MONTH
War Department Has Provided for
Appointment of New Second
Lieutenants Soon

out by the Var Department the next

ment of second lieutenants from
among the non-commissioned officers
of the army, from the graduate of the
United States Military Academy and

ing.
The applicants from civil life are d.
vided into four classes. Glass A,

leges" who must be members of the

pointment is made. Glass B, honor
graduates of colleges where army Of

vided there are enough applicants at
each headquarters to warrant the hold
ing Of the examination; if not, the ap-
plicants will be taken to one where
the number of applicants is larger.

ROME DRY LAWS.

SOME of those opposed to prohibit
ton appear to think that the "bone-
dry" laws will make the country go
wet again on account of the strict en-
forcement of the law not being sat
isfactory. On the other hand, did you
ever think how many people there are
who in the past have voted against
prohibition because they didn't be-
lienve it could be enforced? There
were in the neighborhood of fifty to
a hundred votes in Mexico at the last
wet and dry election, who voted
against closing the saloons because
they were afraid the law could not
be enforced. They find out now that
the law can be enforced, and we don't
understand why anyone who is in IA
vor of prohibition should object to
bone dry laws-the drier, the better.

MELTs IRON IN jig TIME.

A retired physician of Clifty,
Ark, DR.. C. P. Mars, has invented
a machine by which he has been en-
abled to melt cast iron in five min
utes with the temperature at 85 de-
grces, and to weld cast iron and steel.
This can be done any day in the year
when it is not cloudy and in any lati-
tude. Clockwork holds the sunlight
in focus.
The doctors experimental ma
chine has a lens only Is inches in
diameter, and a focal distance of As
inches, and with this he melts cast
iron in five minutes. The doctor says
heat can be substituted for coal and
other fuel in most of the industries
by means of this device.

Senator VIM. H. Thompson
voted for the highest war profits
tax presented for consideration
last week in Congress, being one.
of a small handful of senators
who had the courage to take such
a ranical stand against the big
business interests. Here are
some excerpts from the speech
he made explaining his vote on
the Hollis amendment:
ITO capitalize the misfortunes
of the Nation when it is in war
simply to make money is about
as bad as refuring to defend the
country.
The rank and file of the peo
pie are willing to do their part,
to sacrifice their lives, their
homes, and all their earnings
and property if necessary, and
they simply want to know that
the more fortunate man in busi-
ness or in Inheritance will do hi,
part.
have believed in the Govern.
ment taking as much of the "a
tual war profits, or profits made
directly out of the misfortunes
and necessities of war, as is
practicable, and to apply such
profits to the prosecution Of it n
the interests of all the people of
the country, :
As has been ably explained by
the Senator from New Hamp.
shire, his present amendment
will enoble the country to raise
an addltlonal revenue OF about
100000 aud save us the me-
cessity of taxing tea, coffee, CO.
Goa, aud sugar, the ordinary
breakfast drinks aud food of the
common people. This amend
ment will enable us to get the
necessary revenue from those
who are best able to pay and who
derive direct pecuniary benefit
from the war, without resorting
to the breakfast table to pay the
deficiency, and trust it will pre-
vail"
