 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l3.-Thc names of the men who have won army commissions from the reserve officers training camp at the Presidio were announced here tonight. Ap- proximatcly 400 of the flower of the country's young manhood changed the red, white and blue hatcord of the candidate, for the gold and black cord of the commissioned officer and hastened to place orders for uniforms, leather puttees, swords and spurs, shedding the private's khaki, now bad ly worn which they donned at the opening of the camp.
 The men came from Arizona, Cali fornia, Idaho. Montana, Nevada. New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington, and were nearly 5000 strong when camp opened May 18th. The unsuccessful ones were rapidly culled, beginning the first day, singly and in groups Some 600 losers re- maincd until about ten days ago, standing test after test and finally failing of recommendation only be- cause still better men were available. Many of these who failed to be rec commended, needed the advice of the war department that they enlist in the ranks with immediate recommenda- ton for scrgeancies and chance al commissions later. Some few were recommended for further training al the next camp which opens at the Presidio, August 27th.
 Colonel Fred w. Sladen, command ant of the camp, said: The men com missioncd are splendid examples of American manhood Regardless of age or rank all have been subjected to the same individual training and discipline that they will be expected to exact of their future commands. The manner in which they have gone at the work and the improvement they have shown from day to day has been a great pleasure to their instruc- tors. They are deserving Of great commendation for the success of their efforts. We have faith in them. Many good men failed to gain com. missions simply because they lacked in different respects some of the many qualifications required of men who are to be leaders in our new national army.
