National Army
Elects to Fight
In France Soon
Baker Delighted by Eager
ness of Selected Men to
Reach the Front
All Asked Their Choice
"Send Us to France Among
the First" Majority in
Camps Reply
AllAsked Their Choice

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Most of the
young men called for service in ihe
National Army went TO 60 to France rs
fighting men, and they want to get
there quickly.
Reports from five or six Of the big
training camps, Secretary Baker an
nounced tonight, show that when asked
what they want to do the great me-
jority of the selected men say they
don't care what their job is to be, just
so they get to France among the hrst,
and then when given a choice between
the combatant and noncombatant
branches, most of them elect to be
fighters.
"The boys at the front and those CO.
ting ready to 60 there are all right" is
the verdict of the Secretary, who re-
Gently viNted several training camps in
the East and South. "Our nation need
have nothing but mounting pride at the
spectacle they present"
an these camps said Mr.. Bakers
statement, leach man is asked. What
do you want to do?' have had reports
from five or six of the largest camps,
and they show the majority answered,
in effect: Il don't care what do, just
so get to France among the first
"The next question asked them is:
What branch Of the service do you pre-
ferT Now, one who didn't know
America would expect them to say,
We'll. have been working in store,
4 have been hand on a farm 4 have
been a mechanic Il have been clerk,
Il don't know much about guns and
cannon; perhaps some one of the nom
combatant places is the place where |
can render the best service But what
is the fact?
"These sons and brothers, drawn out
of life by selection-more than one
third have asked to 60 into the in
fantry service. The next choice is the
light artillery; the next is the heavy ar
tillery service; the next Is the aviation
service.

mendously predominating majority of
instances is not the noncombatsnt
service. for which their previous ex-
perience might we'll qualify them, but
the fighting branch, so that they can
take the risk Of fighting for their coun-
try with the real weapons OF war. The
bows at the front and those getting
ready to 90 there are all right. Our
nation need have nothing but mounting
pride at the spectacle they present

Wilson, Too, Almost
Blind in One Eye

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Not to De
ou,Aore nv Colonel Roosevelt, whose
recent admission that he long had been
blind in one eye surprised the coun-
trv and held the front page for day.
warm admirers of the President gave
Washington mild thrill to-day with
the information that, while not blind
President Wilson has strained one eye
until It was almost useless.
It was pointed out that the Presi-
dent has been forced TO take precau-
tions. At least twice year he motors
over to Philadelphia TO see his old ocu-
list, who changes his glasses SO as TO
give him the most possible efficiency
with the least possible strain on the
eyes that have to pore over so many
state papers.
Long reading while professor at
Princeton injured the Presidents eyes
Since entering the White House he has
pursued a practice which, while great
time saver, is very hard on his VISION
1t consists of requiring virtually every
subordinate who has plan to submit
dent to consider, to put them in writ
ing instead of communicating them in
person.
Even the Presidents secretary, Mr.
Tumulty, writes the President notes
brieAng the most important part OF his
correspondence, instead Of talking the
correspondence over with the Presi-
dent, so that the executive eyes do
great deal more work, in addition to
the vast amount of book reading he
does, than do those of the ordinary
business executive.
This habit of requiring subordinates
to write him notes instead of explain
ing situations verbally applies even to
Cabinet members. Secretary Of State
Lansing has presented the gist OF many
this country entered the war in q
memorandum, instead Of conveying il
| in a personal talk.

Baker Refuses to Believe
That Coercion Was Used
In Camp Upton Bond Sale

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-Secretary
of War Baker and high army officers
refused to believe to-day that officers
at Yaphank had actually posted no.
tices that soldiers buying Liberty bonds
would be given the first chance for
furloughs and other privileges. II such
notices were actually posted, they de-
clared, they were abhorrent to the
spirit OF the army.
"No holding up of a soldier, either
for censure or ridicule, because he con-
siders himself too poor to buy a Lib
erty bond will be tolerated IN the
army" declared major general IN
commenting on the reports. "Of course,
we are delighted for the men TO buy. the
bonds. We are anxious to see them
save their money, but we do not intend
that any man shall be coerced by any
such means as The Tribune is Informed
took place at Camp Upton
could you say that the officers re-
snonsible will be reprimandedY IN
ouired the Tribune correspondent.
"All I care TO say is that the War
Department will not stand for any such
coercion Of the men," he replied.
AS to the reports that men who did
not subscribe to the bonds would be
forced to allot half their pay to de-
oendents or the insurance fund, II was
pointed out at the department that no
enlisted man is going to be permitted
70 spend more than half his pay IN
France even if he has no dependents,
subscribes to no Liberty bonds, nor
takes any other step TO assign his pay
This was made absolutely binding, II
is pointed out, in the soldiers and
sailors insurance act. The reason for
that is not to force the soldiers to
save, but because Of reports which
General Pershing made on the resues
OF so much American money being
spent in French villages.
II is now feared that the Admins
tration may have gone little too far
with its plan for preventing the sol
diers from spending too much money
when they got TO France. To permit
the soldiers who have subscribed "a
Liberty bonds there is little doubt
now that the law must be so changed
at the next session of Congress thai
bonds may be paid for out Of tn,
amounts withheld from the soldiers
pay until the end Of the war. Th'
soldiers were to get 4 per cent inter
est on this money, anyway, so that th'
only advantage to the government o
their buying the bonds, instead o
merely letting their money accumu
late in the Treasury, would be that tn
government could wait until the expi
ration Of the bonds before paying th'
debt.

Captain Denies He
Ordered Private Hazed
Sullivan Tells Camp Wads-
worth Court Martial He Sug-
gested Shower Bath

SPARTANBURG, 5. C., Oct. 29.-lt
looked for a time to-day at the court
martial proceedings of Captain Howard
f. Sullivan, of d Battery, Cd Field Ar
tillery, as though the defense had been
completely shattered, but a skilful
move on the part of the attorney for
the accused officer partially saved the
situation.
On the witness stand in his own de-
fence, Captain Sullivan emphatically
denied that he had made any sugges-
tions Of punishment for Private Otto
Gottschalk for his violation Of sanitary
regulations other than a shower bath.
The officer was positive that he had
mentioned no other treatment than the
bath. stated he had warned his men
not 10 hurt Gottschalk and swore that
he did not see the hazing given the
private.
After the defence had rested its
case. Captain William o. Richardson
was called in rebuttal. 1t was Cap
tain Richardson who investigated the
Gottschalk incident on orders of Col
onel Wingate, acting commander of the
artillery brigade. Captain Richards
testified to talking to Captain Sullivan
regarding the hazing. He said that the
accused officer told him of having the
battery assembled and Of telling the
men of Gottschalk's offence.
"He informed me that he said to the
men: Drag him in the ditch. take him
up TO the shower baths, and spank
him. but don't hurt him."
Richardson's statement, coming on
top of Sullivan's vehement denials, was
a bombshell.
Lieutenant Colonel Tuck. counsel for
Sullivan, argued against the admission
of Richardson's statement.
He insisted that it was in the nature
of a confession, and questioned wheth-
er Sullivan had been warned by Rich
ardson that such statements as he
might make could be used against him.
The court was cleared while the
members of the board debated the
question. Finally it was announced
that the evidence would not be ad'
mitted if it were shown that Sullivan
had not been warned by Richardson
that his statements could be used
against him. Richardson admitted that
he had not warned Sullivan, and tht
trial board was ordered to disregard
the statement.

Soldier Bond Buyers
Ruined Their Pockets

are dear 10 the heart OF every drafted
man. the pass and athletic supply
arguments proved strong ones.
The attitude Of some of the men at
the Camp is indicated by the expert
cnce of a certain foreign-born private
who boasts of submitting to the draft
without an effort TO obtain exemption.
He WAS summoned before his captain
to discuss his failure to subscribe for
a bond, when this conversation is said
10 have taken place with the aid of an
interpreter:
you have nobody dependent upon
you. Why don't you put part of your
pay in Liberty Loan bonds?" asked the
officer.
81 no want Liberty subscription" is
the answer attributed to the private.
But il means better chance to get
a pass" argued his superior.
Yes; hold-up," the man retorted.
He was not disciplined.
Still another document that is re-
ferred TO by soldiers who believe they
were Influenced" TO make too gener-
Gus subscriptions appeared upon a
regimental bulletin board, with the
following information:
Inc reglmental commander de-
Sires to see all officers who have not
subscribed to the second Liberty
Loan by D. m. tonight.
KENNETH p. BUDD,
Captain 30sth Infantry,
"Adjutant."
At this conference the non-loan-buy-
ing officers are said to have been told
that their example was necessary to
obtain a full cooperation on the part
Of the men. Returns from the camp
are taken as an indication that few
officers failed to subscribe for their
share Of the total subscribed by that
cantonment.
Upton Overshot Mark
Revised totals of bond sales were
announced from camp headquarters
during the day. Upton, they show,
overshot the mark that Washington set
for it by close to 100000. The figure
estimated by the government as prob
ably forthcoming from this camp was
81 100000. while the actual amount
subscribed turns out to be S1,7S1, $50.
