Advises.
SHOULD GET TOUcH
OF ACTUAL WAR ZONE
Young Officers who Trained
at Plattsburg Warmly
Praised in France.

With the American Forces in
France, July 28, (By Associated
Press)-The hard training which the
American troops are now undergoing
bring out a marked degree of eff.
cheney In young officers who recently
Joined the army after having under
gone training at Plattsburg or at 9TH
er camps.
Regular army officers declared that
the quality Of these men set al rest
any doubt as to the high standard Of
leadership in Americas ast new
army. The young officers have adapt.
ed themselves quickly to the, new con-
ditions here in training with French
instructors. They are earnest in their
work and never tire. They have won
unstinted praise from older officers.
The colonel Of n OF the old line
American regiments standing today
watching the work Of one of his
battalions in which many reserve Of
flcers are serving exclaimed:
Praise for Young Oficers.
They are simply splendid. I AN
not a enough about them. I have
never seen a finer class OF young Of
f1cers anywhere, With very little pre-
liminary guidance they have shown
themselves capable OF taking wei en-
tire direction Of the battalion"
The colonel further expressed what
seems to be the opinion Of most off,
GERS already here that as many Of
these officers from training camps as
can possibly be spared should be sent
to France at the earliest possible date
to undergo intensive training in the
actual war zone. There is a feeling
that they should not be held in
America until the regiment to which
1t is proposed to assign them are ac-
tually formed, but should come In
advance.
Like to Throw Bombs.
AS was tt be expected the American
soldiers have taken naturally to bomb
throwing. They like that part of the
daily program better. than any other
When they are o hurting meta
missiles they may be seen practicine
with heavy stones, dummy shell holes

The Americans are wonderfully accur'
ate and the French instructors are
amazed at their skill so easily acquir'
ed. This, Of course, is due Target,

Kitchener Is being quoted as though
he had predicted Just three years OF

 Of the present system of government

 careful study of conditions, and as result he recommended to the may
 or that the rule which makes it a
 necessity for a hearing on charges against a Supernumerary officer be dispensed with and the proposed change will give the board of police
 commissioners and the chief the right
 to punish a supernumerary officer for ! infraction of the rules without the formality of a hearing.
 Recent actions on part of the "su- pers" of the police department have tended to strengthen the belief that some steps would have to be taken along the proposed lines it is claimed.
 As it is now, many of the "supers'

 refused any work with the exception of ,heaters. halls and other work that

of Mrs. Buys. The business, of which he was part owner he left to Newell Jennings stipulating that the proceeds were to be used for the benefit Of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary Wake field, with whom he made his home, and that it go to his brothers after her death.
 Mrs. Buys appeal was based on the claim that Day was not capable of making a will at the time the docu- ment was drawn and that Mrs. Wake field had eXerted undue influence over him.
 Judge Newell who drew the will, his stenographer, Miss Alice E. Brown and Chief Belden of the Bristol po- lice department who were witnesses to it's signing all declared that Day seemed to be sober at the time and appeared capable of making a will. Witnesses, including the testator's brother, testified concerning his periods of inebriety. They explained that "Eph" he was popularl1 known, was very industrious and in clined to be saving while he was "on the wagon He would go on sprees, which would last from four to six weeks, however. during which he would spend his money like a drunken sailor He was arrested on numerous occasions and had to be taken to sa anatariums at other times for treat ment, due to his over indulgence in alcoholics.
 During the hearing yesterday, Judge Peck, counsel for Mrs. Buys, stated that the contestant would withdraw the claim of undue influence and that the appeal would be argued on the grounds of Days incapacity for mak- ing a will
 Witnesses for the estate claimed Day was mentally capa ble and that during his illness he had explained that he was going to provide for his mother law and would leave nothing to his sister.
 The testimony was not all in when court adjourned last evening and the hearing was continued today when Witnes for the estate told their stories.
