WORK AT TRAINING
CAMP HALF OVER
All Remaining at Fort Funs-
ton Now Expected to Re-
ceive Commissions.
MOST IN INFANTRY DIVISION
Trench Construction Part of
Instruction; Real Conditions
to Be Studied.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. July T.
With more than half their training
period gone the young men now in
training at Camp Funston to be among
the first ten thousand officers OF the
new army all have established right
to consideration for commissions In
some branch of the service, and II Is
intimated by army men high In au-
thority that every one of the men who
survived the grueling work up to now
will be used in some way.
The course at Camp Funston Will
come to an end about August 15 and
shortly after that a second camp Will
take up the work with men in 1t from
Illinois, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona
and New Mexico. This camp also will
last three months. but the work will
be of different character, a little
less strenuous perhaps, because more
mature men will be in attendance.
Undcsirablcs Wccdcd Out.
The undesirables have been weeded
out in the six weeks that have be-
come camp history. Every man in
the camp was watched by the officer
instructors and card index was kept
on him right from the beginning.
Every infringement of rules, every
breach of etiquette, every inattention
to study, every evidence of careless
ness and every other indication of
unfitness to be IAN officer and gen.
tleman" was jotted down. Every man
who attended strictly to business, made
sincere effort TO study, was careful
about his appearance and speech, was
neat in quarters and who abided faith
fully by the rules and regulations was
given credit.
These last men are the ones who
are still in the camp and who will go
thru with the course and ultimately
become officers. The others have
gradually been dropped on one score
or another and sent on their way.
Some who were found unfit for some
fault not their own were kisdly in
formed that 1t would be useless or
imprudent for them to finish the
course. These mostly were men upon
whose health the work had deleteri
Gus effect. The others who were dis
missed were given reasons definite
and anything b.t kindly, but neverthe-
less potent.
Serious Prelude.

JUST A WORD FOR THE DOG
In Many Parts OF the World They
Care for Sheep.

A correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Gazette-Times noting that several let
ters have appeared recently in the
newspapers, complaining that farmers
cannot keep sheep on account of dogs,
replies that in Europe, Asia and In the
southwestern part OF the United States
sheep always are in the care of shep-
herds and trained dogs. Sometimes the
shepherd is a girl or boy. II dogs are
practically banished from the state by
too dratic legislation, how can farm
ers save their crops from trespassers,
their fruit and vegetables from
thieves? Automobiles have made 1t
easy for thieves to escape with their
plunder, If there is no dog to give
the alarm. Women and girls In the
country will have to carry firearms
to protect themselves against viscious
tramps, If dogs are no longer with
them. To keep a dog chained too
closely, or too long a time. Is really
cruelty.

doing Is a mighty serious prelude to
even more serious things and those
who remain in the camp are the ones
who accept that view and conscien-
tiously are endeavoring to fit them
selves TO command men and to take
care of them in the field.
All OF the men have learned dSjll
close and extended order, and have
engaged in ordinary field maneuvers
Within a few days they will begin
working on the nearest approach pos
sible to actual battle conditions In Eu-
rope. As one feature they will con-
struct trenches such as are used at
the front, even concrete and steel
going into them. They will work in
these several days, going thru the
forms of attack, posting observatories.
etc. Then will come the reliefs and
the falling back to "billets" and all
Of the routine Of life in the trenches.
When this is completed the men will
be withdrawn and several batteries of
artillery will open fire on the trenches.
After the batteries have worked IA few
hours the students will be given an
opportunity to inspect ~ dugouts and
thus gain an idea of what they will
have TO contend with in the real
trenches.
While the students have been sep
arated into different branches of the
service for the final weeks of instruc-
ton. the great majority OF them are
still In the infantry and learning the
work Of that arm. A few have gone
into cavalry training, n larger number
into the artillery and the smallest
number of all into the aviation section.
The aviation men have been ordered
to the various ground schools" es-
tablished at the universities and some
of the artillery men also have gone to
other stations to complete their
courses.

TO RID CHILDREN OF FEAR
1t Is Not Natural for Them to BE
Afraid of Things.

The July Womans Home Compan-
ion says: mo other one attribute con-
tributes more to peace of mind in this
life than an absence of fear. To at
tempt to govern child by frightening
II is crime, for in children the pow
ers of Imagination are exceedingly
acute. Children do not reason, they
believe. A normal child has no more
fear of the dark than of the daylight,
but II such a child is put to bed, alone,
in dark room. and told the goblins
will get him If he does not go right to
sleep the dark for years afterward
will mean a place of vast terror filled
with horrible possibilities. Wakeful
ness, mental strain and nervousness
are as sure to follow as day follows
night. If fear does show in a child, it
should never be ridiculed. Fear may
be destroyed If little time is taken to
explain why there is no reason to be
afraid"

RUSHING WORK ON
THE ARMY BILL
Administration to Establish
Training Camps For
Officers.

Washington. April 11.-Reports on
reaching the war depart
ment up to today indicate that the
regular army will soon reach Its
peace strength of $4,000 enlisted
men. and until the president issues an
order, regiments cannot be brought
up to war strength, nor can new units
be formed. Indications are that the
administration does not feel like or
dering this until the new army or
ganization bill is passed. Work on
that measure was continued today by
the house military committee. which
arranged to hear Secretary Baker,
Major General Scott. chief of staff.
and Brigadler General Crowder, Judge
advocate general. again in explana-
ton of the administration plan.
The senate expected to reach vote
today on the army appropriation Dill
which failed to pass at the last ses-
sion.
To fill the immediate need for prop
erly trained officers. the administra-
ton intends to establish a number
of civilian training camps for officers
in various parts of the country similar
to the Plattsburg camp. Prospective
officers will be organized there In
companies or other units. and given
three months of vigorous drill. with
lectures on duty Of officers, before be-
ing commissioned In the officers re-
serve corps. Those selected for COM
missions, then, will be assigned to the
regular army.

SHIPBUILDING TO
BE CARRIED ON A
LARGE SCALE NOW

London, April 11.-Speaking in the
house of commons on the govern
ment's shipbuilding program the par
liamentary secretary Of the shipping
controller said the progress Of con-
aruction was q very big one and
could be carried out best by the
Standardization. Tramp steamers
were wanted most at the present time
but they must be something more
than the ordinary tramp and exceed
in speed the underwater speed Of the
submarine. About one-half Of all the
merchant ships of the United King
dom Of over $500 tons gross were
engaged for the army and navy, the
colonies and the entente allies in
connection with the war.
Tho shipping controller. the secre-
tary said. was rapidly extending the
reQuisitioning to include all steam
ers in the possession Of the country.
Regarding restrictions Of imports ana
the question Of conserving shipping
he said the government was mapping
out the future not only for this year
but for next. They were measuring
the greatest possible losses they
thought would occur and putting
against them month by month what
they expected to build and to buy
and. by dealing with the matter in
that way, could make arrangements
to defeat the enemy In, the campalgn
to destroy shipping ..

CORN AND OTHER
PRODUCTS TO TAKE
PLACE OF TOBACCO
The Hague. Netherlands. April IL

The Hague. Netherlands. April IL.
-(Correspondence of the Associated
Press With twenty-four million
dollars worth Of tobacco. or 100000
bales still lying in the island Of Java
awaiting shipment to the Dutch mar
ket, and with every prospect of ship
ment being long DELAYED. an urgent
admonition has gone forth to the ma
tives there from the Dutch governor
general to plant corn and other food
products in place of their usual to-
bacco crop.
Last year the Java tobacco crop
yielded about 776,0O0 bales, a record
figure. AS a result Of an abnormally
heavy rainfall this ;,ear's cop fs ex-
pccted to be Considerably Smaller,
probably less than 100000 and the
orders just issued are likely to have
a curtailing effect on subsequen.
production.
The mere suggestion Of a tobacco
famine in Europe must conjure up a
fearsome picture in the mind of all
devotees Of the weed. but with the
spectre of European food famine
seriously frightening some people
here, the partial substitution of corn
for tobacco in the Netherlands East
Indies is regarded as imperative.

COUNTRY WILL
ENJOY GREAT
PROSPERITY
T. N. Vail, of American
Tel. Co., Declares U. S.
on Verge of New Era.

Washington. D. c., April 11.-An
era of the greatest prosperity ever
known to the United States and which
will be shared by all was predicted by
Theodore N. Vail, president Of the
American Telegraph and Telephone
in an address here last night
before special meeting of the Ma
tional Agricultural society. Mr. Vail
based his view on the belief that the
small but productive farm and the
small but prosperous farmer, soon to
be dominant in agriculture, will bring
about this prosperous state.
The abundance of homes as a
source of great national strength and
q noticea BILE trend toward country life
and country pursuits were pointed out
by Mr.. Vail. He also stated that agri-
culture now offers probably the great
of all the country's industries. and
that the farmer will be the future
power in the land. He said:
1.-The strength Of a nation is In its
abundance of homes-homes, though
Of small size. of abundance of COM
forts and plenty of all that is essen
tial. We are on the threshold of such
an era. Country life and country pur-
suits have become more attractive and
more profitable. Opportunities for
moderate but sufficient success are as
centers Of industry, while the COM
forts and even luxuries that are now
available in the country put it on a
par with urban life. IL not superior.
The rural home, with it's diversified
production, will be restored. The
farmer will be the power, the inf1u-
ence in the land.
ITO get all there is out Of rural life,
the farmer must keep in close touch
with the world. should know and un-
derstand who is going on in the
tions and organizations Of the social
commercial and Industrial world,
should not isolate himself and become
narrow. full of prejudices and unin-
telligent conceits, as those who live
too closely by themselves are apt to
become.
Farmers must not allow any
demagogue who promises everything
but has never performed anything to
influence them and guide them into
all sorts of plausible but impractical
reforms which are impossible Of full.
fillment and lead nowhere. Trus,
should rest with those who have dem.
onstrated ability and honesty. Votes
and influence should not be traded of
for promises. Don't put into the
hands of the untried the welfare OF
the community and the control Of at.
fairs either personal or public, the
most valuable interests Of the com.
munity.
1.-The day Of the small but produc.
tive farm and small but prosperou:
farmer is coming, and with it viii
come a country of such prosperity. al
having sufficiency, as never wa:
known"
