besides they have the advantage of
having the headquarters tent just
ahead of them.
There is great friendly rivalry
among the several companies at the
camp. They each claim to have the
best company and they are willing to
prove 1t. Drills and hikes will test
the men as soon as walking gets good

panies can be picked by their work.
Should the weather permit hikes will
begin tomorrow or next day. Equip
ment for the men is coming in as fast
as it can be handled. Books teaching
warfare, drills and signal codes, ETC.,
have been received. Manuals on court

London, Oct. 4.-Formation of a spe7

All official announcement on the
matter of reprisals was withheld to-

Proponents Of vigorous reprisal
policy brought a new argument today.
1t was that the German cities most ac-
cessible for British raiders We're in
southern Germany-and the southern
German, according to reports is chat
ing over too much Prussianism in the
empire. Advocates of British raiding
held that nothing could bring home to
the southern Germans the brutality
and arrogance of Prussianism so much
as series of raids over southern Ger
man cities specifically announced as
reprisals for similar excursions over
England.

more than subdivision into articles and
paragraphs to give 1t legal form.
The main points insisted upon by
Count CZernin were no forcible con-
quests, disarmament and freedom OF
the seas. He declared that Austria
Hungary while. ready to make peace
on this basis, now reserved the right
to change her attitude should the allies
insist upon war to the finish and the

ian empire.
He also declared that the central
empires are able to continue the war
as long as the allies and that Aus
