VETERAN OF FRANCE WILL NOT HAVE TO
 CONTINUE GRIND

WASHINGTON, July 10, (By Mail) After all Maj. Charles Sweeny, of Spokane and the French foreign le- zion, also of the American reserve army, is not to quit the officers train ing camp at Fort Meyer and return to France. An adjustment has been reached and the war department has declined to accept his resignation.
 The majors explosion, however, has had the effect of calling to the atten- tion of army authorities to a possible deficit in the present system of train ing candidates for commissions in the national army. Hereafter, it is indi- cated, men of actual battle experience and men of previous considerable mili- tary training, like several former American regular army officers now serving in the ranks of students at Fort Meyer, will be given training in more advanced work than the less ex- perienced.
 AS related by army officers, when Maj. Sweeny was sent to Fort Meyer orders were issued giving the com manding officer discretion to use him as an instructor. But certain criti- cisms the major uttered regarding

TEUTONS FIXED
 PRICE ON HEAD
 OFU. s. SKIPPER

PARIS, July 24.-(By Agence Ra- dio to New York)-A graphic story of the destruction of the armed United States steamship Orleans by a German submarine revealing for the first time that the Kaiser had set a price of 24,OOO marks upon the head of Captain Allen Tucker, is reported here today by survivors who have just arrived.
 Officers of the submarine with drawn revolvers tried to find Captain Tucker to kill him but were frus- trated. The captain had a narrow eS- cape from drowning as well as from death at the hands of the Germans.
 On the night of July 3rd, when the Orleans was attacked without warn ing Captain Tucker and his first of fcer were accidentally left behind when the crew departed in the life boats. Tucker and the other officer clung to a piece of timber and were finally rescued by a lifebOat.
 Meanwhile the German crew in- spected all the ifeboatS looking for Tucker. The German captain was told that Tucker went down with the ship.
 He cursed and shouted, "There is a price of 24,OOO marks on his head and We want him."
