WASHINGTON, D. c., March 19.--
The grade of second lieutenant In the
Officers Reserve Corps of the army
has been thrown open by Secretary Ba-
her to men without any military ex~
perience whatever, provided they are
physically and mentally adapted to
military life. An urgent plea has
been sent out to men between 81 and
SO years all over the country to send
III applications for commissions, with
assurances that the army will after en-
rollment supply the military training
necessary to fit them for duty.
Under the National Defense Act, the
corps should be able to furnish off,
GERS for a force of 100000 volunteers
In war time and also serve as rese--
yoir from which additional officers for
the regular army could be drawn at
need Less than 1000 men have been
given reserve commissions in the line,
despite the fact that the la whas been
in operation for more than eight
months. Applications are coming In
slowly and army officers are using eV-
cry means in their power to attract
young men to this service as pat
riotic duty.
There appears to be no lack of men
desiring to serve in the staff corps re-
serve, such as the engineer corps, the
Cuartermasters' division and the med.>
cal service. Enough commissions Ia
these corps have been issued to pro-
vide the special arms for a million
troops. 1t is fighting men who are
lacking, line officers who may look for
service at the front in time Of war.
Army officers believe the failure to NIL
up this reserve is due only to lack OF
information as to the requirements, for
It is the fighting lines that are attract
I'VE to young men in war time.

RUNAWAY ON MAIN STREET

A runaway Wednesday afternoon
down First avenue, crowded with au-
tomobiles and potato teams, caused
no little excitement for the time be-
ing. George Wright's big bay team
hitched to an empty potato platform
wagon, became frightened after
weighing at the Farmers Union
scales and without driver headed
for home on high run. They
avoided all distractions from Jeffer-
son to Washington street, holding
the middle of the road and refusing
to be stopped until they met a four
horse team of w. E. Kistler coming
the other way. The impact knocked
the leaders of the Kistler team down
and the six horses became entangled
in a confused, kicking mass until
Strengthened out by a dozen men.
None of the horses were injured and
aside from broken harness there was
no damage, which is considered al
most miraculous.

ternoon to try the case of People VS.
Roy Black, charged with an assault
upon Harry Enke. The evidence
showed that a quarrel and rock fight
took place between the boys of the
Enke-Black neighborhood and that
Black had gone to the scene to pro-
tect his own children when told to do
so by Mrs. Black. Harry Enke testi-
fed that he called Black a name and
that Black ran after him, caught
him and jumped on him, leaving
some bad bruises. Black denied as
saulting the Enke boy and the jury
found him not guilty as the evidence
was insufficient to substantiate the
charge. The case brought out the
usual petty details attendant upon
neighborhOod troubles which are
brought into court. Attorney Platt,

should not have been filed and gave
