Seattle paper announces that Major General Richardson, former head of the Alaska road commission has been assigned to what is vaguely stated as, "one of the northern di- visions" and will probably be sent to France to help guide the destlnies of the American forces on the French battle front. It is probable that Gen. eral Richardson will be connected with the engineering divisions and will un- doubtedly prove a valuable factor in that branch of the army, having long since demonstrated his engineering and constructive ability. Informa- tion relative to army activities re- veals that Major W. A. Bethel, who was in charge of the military post at St. Michael in the early days, is at present in France, with the American forces. Major Bethel is said to be judge advocate on the staff of Gen. eral Pershlng, commander of the Uni ted States foreign army.

NEXT OFFICERS TO 49,. ...
Be CHOSEN FROM DRAFT
Men Who Show Aptitude to Command
Will be Given Chance to Make GOOD
Selections not to be Made Until
After Full Quota Of $4,000 Men Have
Reported at Camp Dodge.

| Des Moines. Sept. lo.--lowa men con-
scripted for the Eighty eighth division
of the national army at Camp Dodge
are to be given an opportunity TO at
tend third and probably fourth Of
fcers training school at Fort Smell
ing. MINI.
| This was made known today thru
information received by officers at
division eadquarters, to the effect
that the war department is considering
third series of training camps for
officers.
Preference at these camps will be
given to soldiers of the national army,
who may be selected for special train
| ing to tit them for commissions. 1t IS
considered probable, in fact. that stu
dents of this class will entirely fill the
next camp, leaving no room Tor the
attendance of any civilian.
The same general Method it was
said. probably would apply to all ma
tionaI guard units. Future promo
tons witahin the national army. the
information states. will be from the
lower grades so far as is practicable.
For the national guard army the same
rule Of promotion will apply.
Every Man Has Chance.
With the establishment of the fore
going plan every Iowa drafted man
stands chance of being selected for
course at one of the government
ira lining camps for officers. Upon his
aptitude for the work and his zeal in
ma ering preliminary instructions> to
be given at the cantonment at Camp
Dodge will depend his chances for be-
ing selected.
This plan is in line with the war
departments announced intention OF
obtaining young men to officer the
national army in France. It is probable
the men who will be selected will be
those who show the greatest degree
of maturity and natural aptness for
leading men.
No Date as Vet.
No Information has been received
relative to when the selection Of men
will be made. but it is considered
probable that no action will he taken
until after the full quota Of 45,165
drafted men have arrived and the or
ganization Of various units at the can
Torment entirely completed.
This probably will place the time
near the conclusion of the training
camps now under way at various gov
eminent posts. BY that time the
drafted men will have been we'll worked
into the routine and, the problem OF
selecting those best fitted for com
missions reduced to minimum.
