Washington is proud Of tho more
than sixty men who are to be commits
stoned Monday from the Fort Myer
training camp. after having proved
during three months of intensive train
ing that they are qualified physically.
mentally and temperamentally to be
leaders of the army of liberty that is
being sent against the hordes Of the
kaiser.
Hundreds of other Washington youth
have been commissioned within the last
few months, SO that today Washington
holds the distinction Of having furnish
ed more officers for the enlarged Army
of the United States than any similar
area in the entire country.
1t is especially gratifying that the
War Department reversed its previous
plans to place all but about 40 per cent
of the men at Fort Myer on a reserve
list, from which men might be called
for commissions as the exigencies OF
men to be commissioned Monday. who
represent about so per cent Of the en-
rollment Of the camp, are to be called
very soon into active service.
Among those who will receive COM
missions are a number from Washing
ton who are particularly well known.
