COLLECTORS FACE
 SECRET CHARGES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-Joseph J. Scott, United States collector of in ternal revenue for the first district of California, and his brother, Andrew c. Scott, chief deputy collector, were suspended today from duty pending the investigation of secret charges against them.
 Scott's prosecution of charges against Bertram \. Thomas, former special agent, indicated by federal grand jury recently on charges of having sold wine tax stamps prior to his resigna- tion year ago, was given tonight by Scott as the only reason assignable for his suspension. The stamps had been stolen from the local office prior to their sale by Thomas, it was said.
 Checking up of the $7,000,000 worth of revenue stamps in the vaults of Scotts office here was begun after Scotts departure, although it was not intimated that a shortage existed.
 Scott was appointed in 1913. He was a newspaper man, and as secretary of the democratic state central committee, was largely in charge of the national campaign in California in 1912.
 Scott is under bonds of $2O0,00O as collector of internal revenue and $45,- 900 as distributing officer. His office last year did an internal revenue busi- ness Of nearly ST. 7000 900.

TO MAKE WAR
 IN CIVILIANS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 PARIS, April 1S.-A government commission which was appointed to investi~ate German atrocities has just completed it's inquiry in the evacuated regions of the Disc, Aisne and Somme.
 Everything in this spectacle of dev astatiOn disclOses a method of such inn placable and uniformity that it is inn possible not to see in it a vigorously prepared plan,' says the commission in it's report All this was done at the same time and with the same ferocity, in order to bring about misery, inspire terror and create desperation"
 Sister Romuald, superior of the Noy- on hospital, was told by an officer that the French people did not want peace and that the Germans had orders to make war on civilians. At Guiscard, says the report, German sub officer declared:
 "Germany's peace offer having been repulsed, the war now enters another phase. Hereafter we shall respect nothing"
 Among persons compelled to leave their homes," the report continues, were paralytics and persons who were on their death beds. At Sempigny. the Germans destroyed everything they could not carry away. It was as if a horde of insane persons had passed that way"
 Specific details are given in the re- port regarding the pillage of cemeter- i ies Christs in silver, it says, were torn from the crosses and numerous tombs were violated.
 On March 3. says the report, depor- tations from the vicinity of Brouage were ordered. The i'll and infirm were not exempt The cold was intense ana the next da'- twenty seven persons died Professor Benneke. an army doc. tor, is said to have been shot the same evening.
 The report tells how soldiers of the German army seized food and other things promising to pay for them but asserts that the promises were moi | kept. Among those who are said tC have seized commodities was the Grand i Duke of Hesse. Residents were ever taken from their beds, not being giver ] time to remove anything from theil homes.

RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CAMPS
 ARE AUTHORIZED
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO, April 17.-Authority was received today by the central depart ment of the army to prepare and con- duct training camps for reserve off cers, the first 10000 to become officers of the first half million troops raised for the increased United States army. The sites selected for the camps in- clude Fort Riley, Kas., for Missouri Kansas and Colorado.
 Each camp will train officers for full division and one additional cav airy regiment. The maximum attend ance for each camp will be 2500. The attendants will be divided into 15 com panieS for the first month ana all trained alike for that period At the beginning of the second month they will be organized into nine infantry companies, two cavalry troops, three artillery batteries and one engineer company for the remaining two months.
 The attendance is limited to the fol- lowing: Reserve officers, members of the reserve officers training corps over 20 years and nine months old, and oth- CT cadet students of the same age graduates of military schools and oth- CT citizens not less than 20 years and nine months old and not more than A years old.
 In order to secure the necessary high standard for the attendants at the camp, no one will be accepted who does not conform to the required standard with respect to character and sobriety, personality, address and force. reputa- tion and standing in his community, likelihood of his being able to com mand the respect of officers and en- listed men and adequacy of his educa- tion Preference will be given to men of valuable military experience
 College students are advised to at tend the camp provided for the state in which their college is situated.
 Not only young men are wanted, but also mature men, on account of the need for officers who can qualify for higher grades when additional forces are organized.
 There is as yet no appropriation or authority to order reserve officers to active duty. but all such officers are invited to attend these camps without enlisting. At present no assurance can be given as to the pay of reserve officers or candidates, as the matter depends on the action of congress. All men attending the camp are urged to secure their own uniforms before joining the camp.
