Men in National Army
Rated by Psychology
Mental Tests Pick Some for
Special Duties and Sift Out
Incompetents

WASHINGTON, Oct Psycholog-
ical examinations of National Army
men have two purposes. one military
and one medical, it WAS explained to-
day by W. V. Bingham. Of the Carnegie
Institute Of Technology. Pittsburgh.
one Of the seven psychologists who
worked out the method now being APP
piled at four of the cantOnments.
The military purpose. he said. is TO
furnish commanding officers with a
rating Of each man in their commands
by which they may be guided in Sc
Letting men for promotion or for spe-
cial duties requiring more than aver
age intelligence. The medical purpose.
and the more important one, is TO
find what men are so far below the
average intelligence as to demand
serious consideration Tor discharge or
for assignment TO work as laborers or
to other simple manual work under
careful supervision.
The first test is literacy one, and
shows only which Of the men can read
and write. The illiterates are with
drawn, 10 be given examinations for
manual skill. All those who can read
are given various tests 20 determine
their mental quickness. Those who do
not get good ratings on these tests are
reexamined in a group TO discover
whether they are merely slow or are

$4,000 Drafted Miners
May Dig French Coal
Baker Considers Scheme 10
Work Fuel Areas Retaken
From Germans

WASHINGTON, Oct 1s.-OrganiHa-
ton of coal mining regiments for ser
vice in France is under consideration ~
Secretary Baker In view OF France y
delicate labor problems, informal ne
gotiations are being conducted between
American government officials ana
members Of the French High Commis-
sion to ascertain whether such UNITS
would be acceptable.
National Army men would DO as
signed to the mining regiments only
on a volunteer basis. but government
officials In touch with the unions be-
lieve that most Of the $4,000 miners
taken on the first draft call would
offer themselves for the special ser
vice. The plan does not contemplate
withdrawing any men from cFh e"'
ployment. !. o,
look with favor on most schemes LOT
using men drafted for fighting service
in labor units, but this particular pro,
posal is understood to have recelVeu
special consideration, owing to the
shortage OF coal in France ana thc
scarcity of miners. Many helds IN
Southern France are not being WORKED
because labor IL not available, ana ~
is suggested that many more men VIII
be needed as French coal districts IN
the northeast are retaken from the
Germans.

U-Boat Two Days Late
In Sinking Lusitania

ALBANY, Oct. 18.-In an address
the ffty-third convocatlon of the I'm
versity Of the State Of New YORK to-
night DR.. Henry Van Dyke, former
Minister to the Netherlands, declared
the Germans planned the sinking OF the
Lusitania with such a thorough regard
for details that, even before the ship
was sunk, "A bronze medal commemo-
rating the deed was struck of for DIS
tribution throughout the empire. This,
he said. was revealed by the fact that
these medals. one of which he pos
sesses. were dated May 5, 1918, while
an unexpected delay during the Lusi-
tania's voyage, postponed the torpedo
ing Of the liner until May T.
DIR. Van Dyke also described the
false. vicious system of education" by
which the German government was able
TO plunge the world into war, declaring
that the "Potsdam gang was re.
sponsible for changing great and
originally noble people into the serviie
tools Of the robber house of hohen-
zollern."
This system Of education, ne said,
was based on three assumptions: Ihat
the German race was chosen by God to
rule the world; that the Hohenzollerns
were chosen to rule the German peo-
nile. and that the way to domination
must be gained by war-by might, with
out regard for right.
