PLAN TO MAKE LIFE
IN NAVY AGREEABLE
National League Hopes to Do
More Than Stimulate In
terest in Recruiting.

Perhaps the most important work
OF the Navy League Of the United
states. next To stimulating naval re-
cruitng, is the activity of comforts
committee. which furnishes clothing,
equipment. comforts and hospital
stores to the navy. European eNpe-
r!euce has shown that while the gov
eminent clothing outfit IS satisfac-
tory In peace time, it IS deficient for
war purposes.
Men are called on for long pc
riods of picket duty or other work
which exposes them to trying condi-
uons Of sea and weather" said j.
Burr Gibbons, navy league organizer,
last night Duty In the mine fields
rapidly destroy clothing. Rescues
have 10 bo made or shipwrecked peo-
PIE cared for and clothinb must be
furnished To them
Included in the activities Of the
comfort committee is the work Of the
ladies of the community. who knit
articles Of comfort, such as wristlets,
gloves. headpieces, Jackets. mufflers,
etc. The government furnishes di-
rections Tor making these articles
with the official stitch and to con-
form with government regulations.
Mr Gibbons stated that these sup
plies were on the way from Wash
ington and announcement Of their ar
rival IN Tulsa will be made later.

Flensburg were killed in an engage.
ment with British destroyers, accord.
ing to an Exchange Telegraph dis
patch from Copenhagen.
The Marie, 5000 ton vessel, met

Marie was ablaze
Of the 81 members of her crew, the

OFFICIALS NO REASON 10
DOUBT THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Washington, Nov. S.-None Of Gem
eral Pershing's dispatches received by
the war department up to this after
noon says anything about American
troops having been captured by the
Germans. but officials here have n.
reason to doubt the Berlin announce
ment-
Capture, killing and wounding OF
American troops on the battle front,
they say, will be one of the inevitable
fortunes of war. Moreover, the Ger
man high command has appeared
very eager to capture some Ameri-
cans, and recently commanders on the
front offered special money rewards
and other inducements to the first
German troops who should take .
man In the American uniform.
Although the sector in which the
American unit is being hardened II.
trench warfare is comparatively a
quiet one, there have been night raid
ing parties on both sides, in which
American soldiers participated, and
if some have been taken prisoners it
probably was on one of those noctur-
nal exploits when the raiders from
the French trenches met German
patrol prowling about in No Mans
Land.
The government has taken steps
to be assured that American pris-
oners in German hands will fare as
we'll as it is possible to arrange it,
and, indeed, their lot may be better
than the average. Through the REQ
Cross at Geneva, the government has
arranged to provide food and clothing
for American prisoners, so they may
not be forced to depend on the in
sufficient, scanty and constantly
shrinking bounty of the Germans.

ANOTHER MOVE IN
THE "WASP'S" CASE

Another development in the case
of the steamship Wasp was that Of
an intervening libel, which was filed
in the United States Court yesterday
by the Warren Fish company. own
ers and operators of the fishing
schooner Culebra, which brought the
drifting crew into port, and which,
according to the claim, anchored the
wreck and was, it is claimed, mainly
responsible for the wreck being in
tact or at anchor, when rescuers
reached the spot.
The Culebra, it was stated, was on
the way to port from the snapper
banks, when the crew of the Wasp,
in Meboats, was sighted. 1mmedi-
ly Captain "Tony" put about tack and
ran over to ascertain tle meaning of
men in small boats on the open gulf,
so to 50 miles from the bar. He had
them come on board the smack, pro-
vided them with comforts and neces-
stiles of life, and brought them safe
ly into port.

War Department Announces
That Less Than Half Will
Be Commissioned.
SEVERE SETBACK
TO ASPIRATIONS
Many Who Have Been Civ
en- Commissions Are Asked
to Surrender Them.
Especial to The Journal)

Washington, D. c., Nov 3.-The
thousands of professional and busi-
ness men who for nearly three months
have been undergoing intensive train
ing at the reserve officers training
camps with the expectation that they
would get commissions as reserve of
ficers or with the national army or
national guard received severe set
back to their aspirations today when
the War Department caused the in
formation to be made public at the
camps that less than half of them, no
matter how well qualified they may
be for officers, will be commissioned.
About ten thousand of the men at the
reserve officers training camps have
given up business positions and pro-
fessional practice during the last
three months, confident from the as
surance of the War Department that
all those who showed physical and
mental qualifications would be COM
missioned.
War Department officials now
make it known that in the hurry to
get enough to start the training at
the sixteen national army canton
ments and the sixteen national. guard
training camps they overstocked with
officers SO as not to make the mis-
take England made, and have too
few.
1t is stated that in the hurry to
commission needed officers, the War
Department has given commissions 70
many who have since been
asked to surrender them. It is
also stated in army circles that some
OF those already commissioned have
had to be transferred to active duties
before they were found unfit to take
charge Of military organization In
the field. These facts are being con-
firmed in authoritative reports from
the various cantonments, where it Is
an open secret that the War Depart
ment must soon remove some of these
favored ones who were given COM
missions without proper qualifica-
tions.
Some of those who go back home
without commissions are said to be
better qualified than many who were
commissioned in the first training
camp The regular army officers who
have been in charge of the training
at Fort Myer have frequently re-
marked that the War Department had
a chance to get a fine lot of officers
from the present student body.
1t was confidently believed by the
men and by the officers of instruction
that practically every man would re-
ceive at least a second lieutenancy
because they had been receiving re-
ports from all of the cantonmenrs
and training camps that there was a
big shortage of officers and that to
whip the national army into shape
for early action against Germany
would require hundreds of secono
lieutenants in each camp.
Now, the plan, as authoritatively
explained at the War Department IL
to take one thousand qualified stu
dents from all the training camps on
a pro-rata basis and commission them
as second lieutenants in the reserve
corps, eligible for provisional appoint
ments as second lieutenants in the.
regular army, while the others will
be returned to their homes.

RETREAT OF GERMANS
EXPECTED BY FRENCH

With the French Army, Nov. s.
The foreshadowed retreat of Ger
mans has taken place. It was i'm
possible for the Germans to keep
their front lines supplied with am
munition and food. Carriers were
obliged to pass through a tornado OF
shells and machine gun fire when
crossing the valley of Aailette, where
every movement they were was OBJ
served by the French. The German
positions became untenable. The
French are keeping in close touch
with the enemy.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Twelve men
all the crew Of a picket boat of the
battleship Michigan were lost when
their little craft foundered in home
waters.
In brief announcement Of the dis
aster today the navy department gave
no details Of where it occurred. Pre-
sumably the fast little picket boat
was on patrol duty and foundered in
a heavy sea or met with some acci-
dent.
Three bodies have been found and
inasmuch as all the others are miss
ing the navy department assumes that
that all were lost. With the casualty
list the department made this formal
statement:
'eThe navy department announces
that on October 3Oth the picket boat
of the u. S. S. Michigan foundered.
Apparently the entire crew were lost.
The finding Of the bodies Of three of
the crew and the failure to find any
other trace of the boat or its occu-
pants leads the department to believe
that all were lost"
The navy department published the
following CROW of the missing boat:

Tamillo, whose mother lives in Chi
cago, has been recovered. 1t was
found by fishermen entangled in their
nets last Tuesday and later identified
and claime,s by naval officials.
A violent storm had swept the coast
where the accident occurred on the
day previous to the finding of
Tamillo's body. 1t is believed by the
fishermen that Tamillo when his boat
foundered had endeavored to save
himself and may have swan some dis
tance when he found the nets. His
hands were tightly clasped around
the lines of the net as if in q death
grip and it was necessary to cut the
ropes to untangle the body and lossen
the hands of the drowned man.
