The New Plan for Securing Ad-
mission to Officers TRAINING
Camp, From Which $4,000 Of
ficers Will Soon be Appointed,
as Set Forth by the War De
partment.
General Plan.


To provide officers for the drafted
forces of the national army the war
department has adopted the policy of
commissioning all new officers of the
line Gnfantry, cavalry, field and coast
artillery purely on the basis of de-
mOnstrated ability after three months
observation and training in the off
GERS training camps. Thus, the ap-
pointment of officers of the new arm
les will be made entirely on merit and
free from all personal or other in flu
enceS.
AS an emergency measure to pro-
vide officers for the first 100000 draft
ed troops the war department has put
in operation sixteen officers trainin 3
camps with a total attendance of about
100000 These 16 camps correspond
to the territorial divisions in which it
is planned to raise troops under the
Draft Act of May 6, 1917. These
camps, which began May Is, 1917, are
expected to provide line officers well
qualified as to character and training
and sufficient for the first increment
free from all personal or other influ-
crement-
Following the policy of commission
| ing officers on demonstrated worth, II
| is intended that, after the first incre-
ment of 100000 has been organized. Of
| ficerS will be obtained by promoting
officers and men already in the regu
lar army, national guard, and drafted
forces, thus giving to those who have
volunteered or have been drafted fol
military service full opportunity tC
earn promotion to the exclusion oi
those not in actual military service.
The period devoted to the organiza
ton of the first 100000 must there
fore be devoted to training and select
ing officers for the second 100000 tC
supplement those promoted from the
troops in service.
To meet this situation second ser
les of officers training camps will y,

 supporters of tue measure.
 An otattion was accorded Mr. Kitchin when he opened debate in be- ha of the bill He exp aimed that the measure carried a proposed bond issue Of five billion dollars. of the prOueeds of which three billions were to be loaned to the allies with their bonds a. security, the remaining two billions obtained from the sale of bonds to be added to the proceeds of a proposed two billion certificate of indebtedness sue and expended in the prosecution Of war by the United States. All Of the issues will carry 3 1-2 per cent interest
 Mir Kitchin explained that details oi the sales would be left with the president and secretary of the treasury, and he was certain that they would handle them wisely and eX- peditiou.ly.
 Besides urging immediate passage Of the measure, Representative Ford ncy gave some intimations about the taxes likely 10 be levied to help pay the war debt. While nothing definite has been settled he said, he favored lowering the Income tax pXemptiou tc $l.5o0 for single and 5000 for married men, taxing amusement, rals, ing the first and second class postal service rates and increasing the taxes on whishey and beer.
 Representative Shirey Of Kentucky discus ed the probable cost of the war and declared that in reality it would be less of q tax burden than was the ost O. the civil war.
 Only one man. Representative Cara- way of Kansas, flatly opposed the bill He insisted that the entire burden slould be thrown upon the wealth O. the country impned ately

Amsterdam, Via London, April l& -- The kolnische Volks Zeituug. after abusing President Wilson in the style which appears popular in Germany lat present says
 I've are entitled to humping war indemnity and we do not care who pays it Those states which have sac riliced immense sums will be unable Ito pay it.

We need not force America itself 10 pay, but we hold so many pledges in hand that for the entente it is most i'm por'ant Co have America as a banker behind them"
 on the other hand the Frankfurt Zeitung in a remarkably, outspoken article, freely admits that the con stant pan-German sabre rattling has been to a large extent the cause of worldwide hostility toward Germany.
 The Frankrurter zeitung also cites violent tirades by various writers against all non-German people, the advocacy of frightfulness. the exalta. tion of hatred and says:
 All this sorry rubbish, especially the crazy everrecurring idea that Germany will seize parts of South America serves nothing but to strengthen the hands Of Germany enemies in America These are peo- pie who have harmed our cause abroad immeasurably and they have made foreigners believe that their views are those of the German na- ton

From a Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press With the British Armies in France, Via London, April l3.--From the Vimy ridge late today fires could be seen burning in the German lines, and Canadian patrols had advanced beyond the outskirts Of Giyenchy
 An exploration of Nimy ridge shows that the British artillery virtually blew off the top of il and the German stronghold. which had resisted all el- forts of the French and British dur ing more than two years of war, was finally forced into such d position by high explosives that it could not re- sist infantry charges. These charges, of course, were backed up by con tinuous gun fire and accompanied by all the terrible machines and devices of modern war.
 Walking on the top of the ridge was virtually impossible and it is just one continuous climb from cue shell crater to another
 Two surmountng knobs, known only on military maps as numbered hills, had attracted the fire of the heaviest British guns and had been shattered into unrecognizable butles on the landscape.
 It is little wonder that the GerWans made such desperate efforts to hold the Vimy ridge and 10 retake Yer tain portions of 1t by counter-attaeks which failed miserably The ricEe stood as natural barrier betwjAn
