! London, Feb. 20.-The Vorwacrts

to the Exchange Telegraph Company
publishes the cablegram of Samuel
Gompcrs, president of the American
Federation of Labor, to President
Legion, of the German Federation OF
Trades Unions, and the reply Of
President Legion in behalf of the
German workmcn.
Mr.. Gompers cabled:
"Can you bring influence to bear OIL
YOUR Government so that breach
with the United States may oe
avoided ?"
President Legion replied:
"Since the war broke out the Ger
man laboring classes have worked
for peace and they are against every
extension of the war. The refusal
of the enemy to consider the sincere
German peace offer, the continuation
of the dreadful war Of starvation
directed against our women and Chill
drcn and old people and the open con-
fcssion OF our enemies that their
war aim is the humiliation Of Ger
many-all that has caused sharp
cncd submarine war. Influence on
our side on the Government Is only
possible if America can persuade
England to give up her war of star
vation."

THERE IS NoTME TO LOSE
If You Desire to Attend Second Officers
Training Camps--July Is Last Day.

| SouPo--SbAy ~ H@Ss NsS'
Those who desire to attend the
Second Officers Training camps had
better submit their applications
without delay, as no applications
received after July Is will be con-
sidered. Successful applicants will
receive transportation from the
government, and during the camp
will also receive their uniforms, SUBJ
sistence and $4,000 per month. The
camp lasts three months.
All who desire to become candi-
dates will apply on the official ap-
plication blanks which may be OBJ
tanned by writing a letter or postal
card to the Examining Officer, Sec
ond Training Camps, The Citadel,
Charleston, S C. Information con-
cerning these camps can be obtained
from the same office. Men certified
as acceptable for the first series OF
camps (the camps now in operation)
must in all cases renew their appli.
cation.
A member of the National Guard
in Federal service may apply through
channels and, if accepted will be
part of his State quota. While in
the training camp he will be on de-
tached service from his National
Guard organization.
There is no limitationas as to the num-
Der of enlisted men of the National
Guard that are eligible, and their
applications will be treated in the
same manner as those of civilians.
National Guard officers, whether or
not in the Federal service, are elig-
ible to apply for admission to the
camps.
1t is expected that the entire Ma
tional Guard will be in Federal
service before these training camps
open. If the applicants organiza-
ton is not in Federal service at the
time of making application. he must
inciose with his application a signed
statement of the Adjutant General

plicant as suitable for appointment

charge him, or furlough him for
three months beginning August 27,
l1917, if'not in Federal service on

Men will be classified and recon-
mended for commissions on the
basis of their qualifications as dem
onstrated during the training. Those
eligible under the Officers Reserve
Corps age limits (up to 80 for Sec
ond lieutenant, 36 for first lieuten-
ant, 40 for captain, and As for
major), will be commissioned for
five years in the Reserve Corps.
However, these age limits will not
govern all appointments because un-
der the draft act of May 1S. 1917,
these age limits do not apply at all
to appointments for the present war
only. Accordingly, men qualified
forscommissions Except for the Re-
serve Corps age limits) will be COM

40 may be commissioned a second
lieutenant in this manner if recon-
me1ded for that grade.
For the first month the course
will be uniform for all, with the
purpose of giving instruction in the
duties common to all arms. At the
end of the month the men will be

and needs of the service. into in
