.PETAIN SUCCEEDS
GENERAL NIVELLE
Is Appointed Con1mander-in-e chief Of
French Armies Operating on
Western Front.
fRy Associated Press.l

Paris, May 15.-General Petain was
appointed commander -in-chief Of the
French armies operating on the French
front, at cabinet meeting today.
General Nivelle was placed in COM
mand Of a group of armies. General
Foch who played an important role in
the battle Of the Marne and the User,
succeeds General Petatn as chief of
staff OF the ministry OF war.
General Petain who was a retired
colonel at the outbreak Of the war is
the man to whom many Frenchmen
have been looking for the initiative
which would win decisive success
on the French front. To him more
than any other commander the legend
of success attaches. He became a
popular hero after his success at Ver-
dun. After his success at Verdun
General Petain was placed in command
of a group of armies and late last
month was named as chief of staH.
It is generally understood that when
the retirement of Marshal Joffre was
decided upon the marshal selected
General Petain as his successor but
that the general was unwilling to ac-
cept the post without extraordinary
powers. According to some reports he
desired to have command over the
British forces in France as well as the
French.
General Nivelle was subordinate to
General Petain until at the latters
suggestion he was made commander

Austrian Peace
MOUe, TreQcherp

to many honest Austrians no matter
how much they are forced upon her
by economic conditions. Austria is not
playing fair to her partner. What she
is now doing to Germany is, to speak
plainly, treachery. Austria is trying TO
get out Of war and doesn't know how
to go about 1t. The difference between
Austria and Germany is that Ger
many is united while Austria has been
against the war all along.
"Austria's present maneuver for
peace ought not to deceive the entente.
She is willing, no doubt. to sacrifice
some territory but not enough to re-
move her as menace. Dismember-
berment Of Austria Hungary is just
as essential to permanent peace in
Europe as the destruction of German
Prussianism"

fort a course in military training
The corps includes the selected men
from Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Nebraska, and was
made up from 5000 applicants.
The program will consist of an in
tensifed West Point course. Hardly
an hour will be left for the play that

thirty eight other officers OF the regu-
lar army. With the opening of the
camp, strict military regulations went

direct supervision Of Colonel Sage, the
men were assigned quarters and places
in various corps. The first weeks in
struction will gradually broaden the
work Of today, which included such
rudimentary military training as that
concerning the arrangements of beds
and lockers.
Military theory, including study of
books on various connected subjects,
lectures and conferences, will have a
large part in the daily routine, as well
as practical instruction in military
drill. In fact, a large number Of the
selected applicants have had the ply
sical routine In military schools, in the
army or in the national guard. The
course includes instruction in signall-
ing. gun sighting, manual OF the bay
onet, manual Of the sabre and field
work
The course will extend over five
weeks and at the end OF that period
the student officers will be classified
as to the branch of service they are
to enter.

going on for some days. Capt. Charles

the killing, he said, but he did not fee

where he robbed a bank.
Later he went again to st. Paul and
offered to dispose of Mrs. Dunn for
$4,000, half of which was to go to
Frank McCool, according to the con-
fession. The murder and that of ON
Ger Connery were related in detail, ac-
cording to the police, and after re-
ceiving the money for the killing OF
Mrs. Dunn, Redenbaugh left for the
west.

than 1S years of age, would be i'm
plicated in the charges, led REDEEM

Chicago, May 1b.-Sharply lower

today as q consequence of the sum-
mary prohibition Of new buying and
attempts to close up outstanding bills.
Values broke cents on the sale of
three lots of 5000 bushels, the small

It was on these three trades that the
market reached the lowest point of an
IL cent overnight decline to SEAS for
the July delivery. Prospects that the
existing halt in option trading might
be continued indefinitely formed the
main depressing influence. Opening
