Gen. Crowder Rules Sol.

Branch at Camps.

Drafted men. now mobilizing, will
be permitted to obtain commissions

Secretary of War Baker said yes
terday. Also, on their arrival at the
draft camps they, will be permitted to
Join the arm of the service for which
they consider themselves best fitted,
In view OF their employments or pro-
fessions in civil life.
A wide field for advancement is
thus opened up to the men who go
In as conscripted privates. The fol-
lowing ruling was published yester-
day by Provost Marshal General
Crowder:
Men are not drafted for any spe-
cial branch of the service or any
special work. All must report to a
mobilization camp with the contin-
gent of their local board When
they arrive at camp a careful in
quiry will be made into their special
qualifications and. in so far as is
compatible with the public interest,
each man will be assigned to that
duty or to that branch of the mill
tary service where he can render the
greatest benefit.
Third Ofhcern' Camp.
Secretary Baker said:
The War Department has under
contemplation a third reserve officers
camp, although it has not been def
nitely decided upon. II this camp is
held preference will be given to the
applications of drafted men who de-
sire to try for commissions"
The movement OF the first per
cent of the draft army to the mob
ilization camps was without the
slightest hitch, according to reports
to Gen. Crowder yesterday from the
different States. y
This work accomplished, the local
boards are now turning to the larg-

ed the resolution calling for the resig-
nation of Rowe. but this was with
drawn, pending inquiry. Chancellor
Elliott was much disturbed by the in
cident. He said he had learned OF the
matter only q few days ago. He said
snch practices are entirely contrary to
what he is trying to impress upon the
educational institutions in his charge
and he was certain the present case
would b" the last" The resolution
under which Chancellor Elliott will
conduct the inquiry follows:
The Resolution.

cent action Of Professor J. p. Rowe. a
member of the university faculty, in
making report on certain so called
properties, over his signature as pro-
lessor of geology and subsequent ex-
iioitation of said report in Montana
newspapers for stock selling purposes.
This board believes that such action
has resulted in great damage to the
good name of the Montana State Uni
'orsitv and that sound public policy
Will dictate that In future no member
OF the faculty connected with this, or
any OF the so-called higher educational
| institutions shall have any connection
with the exploiting of similar promo
tons"
The resolution then goes on to direct
inquiry The name of the company
| involved does not appear in the report

dition.
