BAKER BARS DRAFT AGE MEN
Commissions VIII Be Refused Young
1 Men Within Draft Age Except
For Special Duty.

Washington = So-called Stacker
commissions, by which men OF draft
age seek to escape service in the ranks
and get officers places in noncombat-
ants branches of the army, have struck
a snag in two general policies laid
down by Secretary Baker.
These are, first, that no men of
draft age can be commissioned unless
1t is shown clearly that they are bet
ter fitted for the special work to which
they are called than any civilian be-
yond the draft age whose services can
be secured; and, second, that no func-
ton of the army that can be carried
on efficiently with civilians shall be
placed on military footing by COM
missioning the men needed to super
wise the work.

Conditions Improving.

Greenville, s. C.-Decided improve
ment in health conditions in Camp Sc
vier, the national guard training camp
for the soldiermen of Tennessee.
North and South Carolina, is shown in
the weekly health report. But what is
the exact condition as 1t actually ex-
lists, what was fundamentally the
cause of the epidemic of measles that
afterwards developed into quite num-
Der of cases of bronchial pneumonia
and in deaths, and how the sick are
being cared for, are the doctors in
charge young men or old men, are
they strictly surgeons or general prac-
titioners, what sort of nurses have
they, are they regular trained nurses
or graduates after few weeks train
ing? These are some of the questions
which, perhaps, weighed in the minds
Of not a few fathers and mothers of
boys in brown that the old Volunteer
State has given up to fight for dem
ocracy and civilization.
If these same fathers and moth.
ers could but visit the base hospital
at Camp Sewer and be impressed with
the truth and conditions as they truly
exist, there would be need for no fur
ther fears or doubts. They would re-.
alize then that rumors had been twist
ed either unintentionally or otherwise.
For they would have seen that those
of the khakied boys forced to abandon
their every day routine because of i'll
ness are being given the best of med
ical treatment by skilled surgeons and
practitioners eminently fitted for the
work. Assuredly they would feel that
the soldier patients were being nursed
tenderly and safely by graduates of an
average of seven years experience.
And they would feel that the sick
could have no better chance in the
best hospitals In our larger cities.

disposition among leaders on both
sides to depend upon him to take the
lead in proposing the war measures

support possible
While the question of declaring war
