For Army, Navy, Marine
and Reserve Corps Chosen
From Civil Life.
EXAMINATIONS HELD
IN MAY AND JULY
Many Applications Have
Been Acknowledgement
tics Rules Favorite.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, D. c., April 12.-Al-
though the plans of the war depart
ment contemplate bringing the en-
listed strength of the army up to
100000 men within the next twelve
months, the officers for this vast
body will be appointed only after
passing the most rigid mental and
physical examinations.
The same rules will apply to the
navy, the marine corps, the officers
reserve corps, and the additional civil
employees who will be appointed in
the war and navy departments.
To judge from the thousands and
thousands of letters received in
Washington daily by senators and
congressman since war was declared
the impression appears to be abroad
in the country that officers to di-
rect the large forces that are to be
added will be appointed from civil
life without examination but merely
upon recommendation of any Off
! eial.
| Nothing could be more erroneous
! than the impression that the officers
are to be appointed first from those
who first apply for commissions and
that the rank and file is to be made
{ up of those who struggle along later
! For the benefit of those who are
contemplating obtaining commits
sions in one of the branches Of the
service, the conditions in regard to
entrance are set forth herewith.
! The Army: Vacancies in the grade
of second lieutenant in any branch
of the army may be filled from civil
life after the successful passage OF
an examination, both mental and
physical. The examination is equiv
alent to the entrance examination
for the West Point Military Acad-
envy, and is open to men between the
ages of 81 and q. No appointment
to grade higher than second lieu
tenant is made.
The flying corps in the army is
under the signal corps, and appoint
ment is open to men between the ages
! of 18 and "a. There are now before
the department over 1900 applica'
tions for entrance to this branch

Celebration Proposed for
Thursday Makes Great Appeal

thing, and a move to inculcate the
little ones, as well as the older ones,
with stirring up the spark of pa
triotism. I'm with you to the end"
Mayor Hinrichs had call at his
office from Mrs. c. S. Bonacker and
Mrs. S. R. NJ Kennedy, a committee
from the Red Cross, who inquired
into the manner of program which
was being worked out, with a view to
arranging the celebration so as to not
interfere with the program to be
celebrated by the Red Cross. The
ladies were assured that any program
which the city would arrange would
not conflict with the parade which the
Red Cross was contemplating.
Quite a number of visitors, in the
mayors office during the day, said
they would be ready to cooperate in
any way, to make the day one of
great success.

LLOYD GEORGE
j. s.
Americas Battles Have
Been for Liberty Alone,
He Declares in Speech.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, April 12.-Premier Lloyd
George, in an address before the
American Luncheon club, today de-
clared that America never has en-
gagged in war except for liberty, and
that the present war is the greatest
struggle for liberty America has ever
embarked upon. He said the entrance
of the United States finally and def
initely stamps the conflict as strug-
gle against military autocracy
throughout the world.
Lloyd George declared: PRUSSIA
IS not a democracy. The kaiser de-
clares it to be democracy war. I
think it will"
Describing Prussia as an army, the
premier said it had great institutions,
great universities and great science,
but all were subordinated to one
great predominant purpose, "an all
conquering army to enslave the
world"
One important bit of the premier's
speech was warning to the United
States to avoid blunders of the Brit
ish. In grim humor he asserted
eve are slow people, slow and
laundering, but we get there, and as
we have made, as we generally do
every blunder, may I submit that it
is worth some good to the United
States to study our blunders so as
to begin where we are now and moi
where we were three years ago."
In addition to the speech of LLOYD
George at the luncheon club, the
American ambassador, Walter Hines
Page, was given a dinner at the Pill.
