 ARE MANY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

of the men who have won army com missions from the Reserve Officers Training camp at the Presidlo were announced here tonight. Approxl- mately fourteen hundred of the flower of the countrys young man hood changed the red, white and blue hatcord of the candidate for the gold and black cord of the com missioned officer and hastened to place orders for uniforms, leather puttees, swords and spurs, shedding the private's khaki, now badly worn which they donned at the opening of the camp.
 The men came from Arizona, Cali fornia Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah. and Washington, and were nearly three thousand strong when camp opened May r15. The unsuccessful ones were rapidly culed, beginning the first day singly and in groups. Some six hundred losers remained until about ten days ago, standing test after test and finally failing of recommendation only because still better men were available. Many of these who failed be recOm- mended needed the advice of the War Department that they enlist in the ranks with immediate recommen- dation for sergeancies and a chance at commissions later. Some few were recommended for further train ing at the next camp which opens at the Freddie August 27.
 Colonel Fred w. Sladen, command ant of the camp, said:
 The men commissioned are splen- did examples of American manhood. Regardless of age or rank all have been subjected to the same in dividual training and discipline that they will be expected to exact of their future commands. The man. ner in which they have gone at the work and the improvement they have shown from day to day has been great pleasure to their instructors. They are deserving of great com mendation for the success of their efforts. We have faith in them Many good men failed to gain commissions simply because they lacked in diff ferent respects some of the many qualifications required of men who are to be leaders in our new Ma tional Army
