Third Officers Camp
Is Not for Civilians
Drafted Men to Get Opportu-
nifty to Win Commits
sions in Army

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Clyillans
will be left out entirely In selecting
student officers for the third series OF
officers training camps.
The War Department has decided TO
draw 90 per cent Of the students for
the third camps from the enlisted ranks
OF the regular army, National Army and
National Guard. The remaining 10
per cent will be drawn from colleges
which have courses Of military instruc-
ton.
An official announcement OF the plans
herein outlined will be md - few
days by the Department,
All the officers commissioned IN the
third series OF camps will be made tenn
porary second lieutenants and Will be
called into service as commissioned OH
GERS as vacancies occur. The new plan
will give an opportunity to the drafted
men TO win commissions.
What percentage of the 90 per cent
of students will come from the Nation
al Army environments has not been de-
termined, but the department will draw
more heavily from these camps than
from the regular army or National
Guard, since IT is believed the enlisted
ranks of the draft army will afford bet
ter officer material.

State Guard Units
May Be Separated by
Army Plan, Says Baker

: WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Military
necessity will govern the consolidation
I of National Guard units under the re-
/ organization plans OF the army, al
I though wherever it is possible the
: troops from each state will be kept to
/ gether. Secretary Baker announced
[ this policy to-day IN connection with
protests. particularly from members OF
the Missouri delegation in Congress,
against the consolidation OF Missouri
and Kansas troops in one regiment.
There are some Guard regiments
with wears Of traditions behind them
and special efforts will be made to pre-
serve these organizations. They Will
be used as the framework Tor eXpan-
sions, it was indicated.
Secretary Baker called attention to
an interesting situation at Camp Mis-
where the AID, or RAINBOW National
Guard Division, which he reviewed yes
terday, is modified. There are two
old National Guard regiments in that
division, he said, one from a Southern
state and one from the North. Both
have long records of service behind
them, including hard fighting in the
Civil War. They are now c. mped to-
cether and compose one of the infantry
brigades Of the Add Division. The last
time they met was at the Battle Of Cold
Harbor during the war between the
states.
Commenting on the work done by the
railroads in connection with the mo-
bilization, Mr.. Baker said figures now
available show that since early in Au-
gust, when large troop movements
began, the roads have transported
500 900 soldiers, and at the same time
have absorbed an enormous additional
freight traffic brought on by war con-
ditions

against this type of offender. and that
there are twenty more cases TO be

Before these men can be taught the

No one realizes as well as the mus

Seventh Regiment Men
Find Bomb Throwing Not

the men had freely predicted would

A small arms target range is being
built near the artillery range by Com
pany +, Engineers. As soon as il is
ready, one regiment at a time will oc-
cupy the range for week or ten days
II is expected that the camps quota
will be increased about 10000 men by
Wednesday, when four more regiments
of infantry and the Sd Regiment Of ar
tillery will have arrived. For a time, il
IS probable, the new arrivals will find
themselves bit cramped for space.
When originally laid out, the Spar
tanburg cantonment was planned to ac-
commodate division under the old
plan of organization. The enlargement
of the division makes il necessary to
materially increase the accommoda-
tions, and this work was started to-day.
The additional construction requires
3,500,000 feet of lumber and the en-
ployment of much larger force of la.
borers.

passed a severe physical examination,
are now TO be put through an equally
