yesterday that false impression had
beer given to the public by state
ments published on this subject All
those qualified to be officers, 1t was
said, will be commissioned. But 1T
was admitted that only about SO per
cent. of those commissioned would be
called to active duty at the close OF
the camps. Many officers are hoping
that the policy will be changed be-
fore the camps close and that every
officer commissioned will be detailed
to duty. In other words it is thought
unwise and unjust by officers IA
miliar with the work Of the camps that
so per cent of those commissioned
should be forced to return to civilian
life and await the call Of the govern
ment
Nothing that the War Department
has done recently has so aroused per-
sons interested as this announcement.
kilograms of protests are coming from
members Of congress and army off,
GERS do not hesitate to complain Of
the departments decision. The una
nimity Of opposition is believed to be
influencing Mr.. Baker to consider
plans to use all the officers. Mem
bers Of the General Staff say that to
send these men back to civilian life,
whEre they can find no permanent
employment, and allow them to get
rusty on their instructions would be
a military mistake and in many cases
a great hardship to individuals.
That every man commissioned
should be assigned to duty, in COM
mand of troops, or as an instructor or
for other military duty. is the opin-
Ix,
ing camps and it is declared a n,a-
jority of the General Staff share this
view. 1t is argued by military au-
thorit1es that there is plenty Of work
that additional officers may do to the
advantage of themselves and the rail-
itary service. Military men say the
army will have to be Increased to full
ly 100000 men within the next
year, and it is probable that Con-
gress will be asked for authority to
amend the selective draft law so as to
permit the organization Of an ar1.ly
of 100000 men. Developments in
Europe go to show that the United
States must do more than experts had
originally estimated, it is said, and
therefore all the available officers
should be obtained without delay to
train the new men who will be forced
into the national army If the law is
amended rs now proposed.
Military officials who discussed the
situation today did not hesitate to
say that the need for officers now was
greater than at any time since the
United States entered tho war. They
were needed, 1t was said, for special
instruction and advanced work Some
of the arguments advanced for using
all the officers who will be commits
stoned from the second training camp
are:
They should be commissioned and
ordered to existing division CANTON
ments for duty as additional officers.
There is great need for Intensive in
struction Of the national army.
Where there are no vacancies at
cantonments all the officers for whom
there are no places should continue
their instruction along advanced and
special lines.
They should have further instruc-
ton in fire control and the distribU-
ton and designation Of targets.

ALL new OFFICERS
FOR ACTIVE DUTY
Military Experts Object to Camp
Graduates Being Held in Reserve

Washington, Nov. 10.--Secretary
many members of the Army General
STAFF and officers in charge Of the
training camps, has decided tentative
~ that only about one-half OF the
officers commissioned in the second
training camps shall be assigned to
duty when they are graduated. Pro-
tests from military authorities ana
civilians have become so numerous
since the announcement to that effect
that it is possible the decision may
be changed and all officers commits
stoned will be assigned to duty
There are about $4,000 students in
the second training camps, which Will
close on Nov. 81. It is estimated
that fully 1900 men will win COM
missions. According to the present
plans Of Secretary Baker only about
half this number would be assigned to
duty, and the others would be allowed
to return to civilian life subject to
call.
Vacancies in the line Of the regular
and national army today number
SPA, and the Signal Corps will take
about 1000 Of the officers commits
stoned. Therefore places will be
~"ailable for approximately 5000
placed in the reserve will not receive
pay.

finds THE HEAD
OF MURDERED MAN
Gruesome Discovery Is Made by
Engineer Supt. in Jersey

Paterson, N. j., Nov. 1O.-An engt-
neer experimenting a gang of labor
ers on the bank Of the Passaic river
stumbled upon the head of Pater-
son N. u.s. mutiliated murder victim
at o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t
lay, nearly covered by mud, near the
Werdmann Silk Dyeing companys
plant at the foot of 18th street, six
blocks from the lot where the mans
torso and severed legs were found
| Monday morning.
Near the head, on half sunken
log, was butchers cleaver. In the
back Of the head was a cut, the po-
lice say, obviously made by the cleaver
and similar to a wound in the arm
of the body. The police believe from
the resemblance the head bears to a
photograph in their possession that
they will soon be able to identify the
victim. To hasten this they placed
the head on view at police headquar-
ters last night and a long line Of
men examined it.
Arthur G. Evans, superintendent Of
water supply for the Werdmann COM
pany and borough com missioner Of
Hawthorne. N. j.. discovered the head.
! Not far away were tho police and the
police dog Lux, with which they
uOp0u 10 solve INC uurO0T. Evans
| actually stumbled upon his find.
There were no footprints near the
head, and it was evidently thrown
| from a distance with the idea that
it would go into the water. The
| cleaver was about ten feet away and
| nearby were the tracks of small
| narrow gauge vehicle-either a boys
! express wagon or a baby carriage.
The missing head confirmed police
| opinion that the murdered man was
| an Italian. 1t shows the victim was
rather good looking man, with dark
! hair, bushy eyebrows and even, white
| teeth. The features bear a strong
resemblance to the photograph Of
Salvatore Vicarelli, a Newark man
wanted by the Paterson police for
felonious assault and battery on
| FREDERICK Crisitelli of No. 121 East
| 18th street, Paterson. Crisitelli is in
the hospital recovering from his in
| juries.
Acting Chief Perry had spent the
day working with the police dog near
where the. head was found. and the
| animal, although he lost the track
| three times, had taken the police very
near to the foot of 18th street. A
hundred or more school children
trooped after the dog and hampered
| him, his owner said.

Willard Service Station. "The aver

"does not realize how vital a part of
his automobile the storage battery is.
In fact, he never gives. It a thought
until it gets out Of commission. The
advent of the electric starting and
lighting system really marks an epoch
in motoring. It has certainly widened
the popularity and usefulness of the
gasoline car, for any, woman can now
run an automobile without having to
have a chauffer along to crank the
engine for her. In other words,
motoring has become a family pleas
ure and mother or sister are just as
we'll able to run a machine as the
father o. brother. In the old days
a nan would spend twenty minutes to
a half an hour a day filling up his
lamps alone. Now he seems very
much surprised: because the manufac-
turer Of a storage battery tells him
that he must spend that time every
two weeks at least to keep his battery
which has done away with all this,
in good order. The Willard Storage
Battery Company alone has spent

the motorist. With the storage bat

deal to. educate the car owner to the
Importance of the battery. Of course,
we are operating over $50 service
stations all over the country whose
function is not only to keep batteries
in good order for the car owner, but
to teach him something about the care
of it. We receive at regular intervals
booklets on the care of the storage
battery which we distribute to motor
car owners. For instance, a booklet
called "Your Electrical System and
How it Works" gives a splendid nom
technical description of the workings
of the electrical system of the auto
mobile. Another one, "Are You
Starving Your Battery" gives a
lot of information about starving

to turn out some trucks. A Form:a-
Truck can be made out of the

out a great deal of expense.
Indicationos are that practically
all the different makes of standard
cars will advance in price within a
few months, announcements having
already been made Of an increase in
price of some of the well known
makes of cars. Some factories are
shipping raw material in by express
which greatly increases the cost of
production.
Recent advances in the prices Of
automobiles does not yet reach the
advanced price in the average farm
machinery. Various makes of gang
plows have advanced so per cent,
wagons Is per cent, and other farm
machinery from 10 per cent to so per
cent higher than one year ago.
Harness and leather goods also have
made a big increase in price, while
the price Of automobiles has not in
creased on an average OF more
than 8 per cent.
Automobile buyers r changing

of cars from a financial standpoint.
Of all the different makes of cars

PEACH CROP HURT
BY RECENT FROSTS

Macon, March THE peach crop
in middle Georgia was seriously
damaged by the frosts Sunday and
Monday nights. Estimates Of the
extent of the damage vary, but'close
investigation has proven beyond a
doubt that large yield of peaches
cannot be expected.
w. G.. Middlehrooks, farm de.
monstrator for Bib county, was out
in the peach orchards in the LizelIa
district Monday. Mr.. Middle
brooks personally inspected several
orchards and found the damage to
vary from 60 to 80 per cent, ac-
cording to the protection afforded
the orchards by adjacent groves and
hills. Orchards protected from the
wind suffered little.
; Notwithstanding reports of great
damage, Mr.. Middlebrooks states
that the peach crop will not be a
total loss, as 80 per cent. Of the buds
already opened were found to be
safe. In some sections the crop is
ahead Of the Lizella crop, and there
fore many of the buds will have
opened.
The freight department Of the
Central OF Georgia railroad also in
vestigated the damage to the peach
crop Monday and the reports to the
railroad were not 50 discouraging as
those to the farm demonstrator.
THE railroad was informed that the
damage to the peach crop in the
Fort Valley section was only % pei
cent. In this section the crop was
we'll advanced.
