Judsonia weekly advance., 1917-08-08

on August II. The practical comple. tion of all lines of instruction and the examination of all students now at the camp to determine their final standing before the board of examin- CTS, which will pass upon the award of commissions leaves little to be done before the camp is closed. The daily routine, however is being maintained and the companies kept in top form. A second fact to prove that the final rank in all cases is not yet determin- ed is that the elimination is still con- tinued. Of the number originally en- rolled, probably 1000 will be present for the finals.
 While Fort Riley and others in the chain of national training camps arc announcing the full number of coTa- missions earned and the rank carried by them, nothing definite of this na- ture is known at Fort Roots. Several members of the corps are said to have been offered commissions in the regu- lar army in advance of the close, while it is intimated that others will be recommended for retention in the second camp, to be transferred from here to Leon Springs. Texas. Places offered with the regulars carry the rank of second lieutenant and are said to be within the reach of men re- garded as crack members of several of the posts best companies. The rank earned by the students, although the same in name, will be lower in reality than the same rank in the reg ular army, as is attested by the fact that transfer from the provisional or national army to the regular will call for lowering of rank. For this reason the rank of second lieutenant offered the students is compliment to the progress they have made in acquiring the military art. Student officers who have declined proffers of this nature have acted upon the eN- pectation that the rank conferred upon them by the school will equal or better that of second lieutenancy, and that as result they have noth- ing to be lost in completing their courses. A choice between service in the provisional or regular army also probably will have bearing upon the future assignment of the student, al though the matter of assignment Is purely one of hazard
