EMBRYO OFFICERS
BEING INITIATED
INTO ARMY TACTICS
BY CRANsTON WILLIAMS.

OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP, Fort
Mcpherson, Ga, May 15.-A small
proportion of the future officers of
the United States Army began work
this morning for the three months in
tensive training which will be carried
On at the training camp.
Trench digging has been experienced
by re-making and reforming the
company streets. In instances it con-
sisted of removing mountains of dirt
which was done by the embryo officers
with picks, shovels and carts. The
honors in paving the way for this work
fall to Company which was the first
in the camp to get down to business.
This com pany is under Captain Wag-
ner, of the 18th Inf, who has seen ser
vice in the PHILIPPINES and on the
border. Captain Wagner is generally
regarded as one of the best drill and
army instructors in the service.
The regulation uniform for the
training camp students consists of the
service hat without cord of anykind
the khaki shirt, belt, breeches, leg
gins, and tan shoes. The general feel
ing among officers and men gives a
status of cadets to the students.
The camp presents a general reunion
OF old friends, especially is the scene
of college days enacted when frat
mates of long years ago rush to each
other in a welcome greeting to the rank
o: the training camp.
The fundamentals of the manuai Of
arms is the first thing to be taken up
by the companies. This will be inter-
spersed with hikes. mainly in prepara-
ton for the long march to Atlanta
which will be taken on Saturday
when the would-be officers will pass in
review before Major General Leonard
Wood, the senior officer of the army.
General Wood is the father of the
training camp, and much interest is
centered in his visit to the fort on
Saturday.
First Lieutenant Doane, in the Of
fcers Reserve Corps. was on duty
with Captain Wagner when Company 5
began to arrive last week. Second
Lieutenant Bell is in the post hospital
with measles.
The German prisoners at the fort
furnish a feature of interest for the
students as they are eyed with keen
ness because of the approach of the
day when they will fight there relatives
on European soil.
Vaccinations and inoculations have
been in order. Smallpox is tabooed
through the vaccination while typhoid
and para-typhoid are forbidden with
the inoculations. Manay have been
the sore arms and various ailments OF
the men since they received the initial
treatment.
The work of three months has begun,
although before that time the ranks Of
the camp will likely be thinned
through the failure of men to keep
apace with the required work.
The Americus representatives are
John D. Mathis, John Wheatley, Bry-
ant Bullock, Evan Mathis, f. l..
Kemph. Hollis Hurley, John Hodges,
and Cranston Williams. They are scat
tered in their companies from to 10.
EDITORS NOTE-This is the first
of a series of articles by Mr.. Williams
in which he will give the readers of
the Times Recorder first hand informa-
ton concerning affairs at the officers
training camp.

and the data as to cargoes, it is pointed out, are in line with a re- quest to this effect made to the State Department by the Entente governments shortly before the break occurred in the relations with Germany. At that time the State Department declined to act upon this request. The changed condi- tions in the international situation have resulted in the steps being taken as much in the interest of American shippers as in the inter est of foreign consignees.
