plenty OF room for all such.
Also we wish 10 impress upon men
that the uncertainty in regard to get

camp no longer exists. as we have def
mite information from the War Depart

are found satisfactory will be commits

of commissioned officers in the Officers
Reserve Corps, but also suitable pay
for men attending camps. We expect
this bill TO be passed Monday, but no
one need wait for that

 WITH BRITISH STEAMER.
Neutral Sailors Relate Details of a
 Hard Engaaemert.

Copenhagen, March 29, via London, 6.10 p. m.-Twenty- two neutrals who were brought to Germany by the com- merce raider Moewe as prisoners, irl- cludins one American, arrived here to- day from Kiel. They were released because they were not serving on armed merchantmen.
 The sailors brought an account of a hard engagement between the Moewe and the British steamer otaki which put up sturdy fight when it was encountered by the German raider on March 10
 The Otaki, according to the sailors, surrendered only after scoring seven hits on the Moewe and setting the German raider on fire. The blaze was not extinguished for three days. Six men of the crew of the Moewe and two captive Hindus were killed during the fight, while the Otalxi lost her captain and mate, her engineer and @ two sailors.
 During the engagement" the sail- DTS said, the British prisoners on the Moewe broke in. the iron grating bar ring the room in which they were confined, but they were overawed by sailors of the Moewe wis., hand gre nades." The neutral prisoners, who were confined in another quarter of the ship, spent an anxious time dur ing the engagement, knowing that if the Moewe were sunk they would go down with her. One she.1 penetrated the hull of the Moewe, passing barely two feet below the quarters occupied by the neutral prisoners

 Your contribution of $1,000, 900 to the s10.000,000 fund for tfe relief of Jewish war sufferers serves democracy as well as humanity. The Russian revolution has opened the door of freedom to an oppressed people, but unless they are given life and strength and courage. the opportunity of cen- tunries will avail them little. It is to America that these starving millions look for aid, and out of our prosperi- ty. fruit of free institutions, should spring a vast and ennobiing generosi- ty.

NATIONAL GUARD AS 4
 PART OF FEDERAL FORGE
Recommended at Convention of Ma
 tional Guard Association.

New York, March 29.-Universal compulsory military training, with the national guard as part of the fed eral force. was recommended by the unanimous vote of the delegates to the national defense convention of the National Guard Association of the United States at its closing session here today.
 Members of the universal service committee of veterans of the national guard and naval militia, meeting later in the armory where the national de- fense convention was held, went on training and service under exclusive federal control, for all male citizens of the United States of suitable age" Officers of the veterans committee had requested permission to address the national defense convention at o'clock this afternoon but as it had been announced that the convention would vote on the resolution at 3 o. clock a motion was adopted calling upcs the veterans to speak f% the ear Her hour. None of them was present and the convention passed it's resolu- tions and then adjourned. This, how ever did not deter the veterans com nittee from holding it's meeting.
 Delegates who attended the defence convention declared tonight that the sisnificance of the resolutions passed by the veterans lay in the fact that they favored compulsory universal service under exclusive federal control without mentioning the national guard as a part of the federal force.
 The resolutions presented to the de- fence convention were amended before the vote was taken so as to provide that the national guard be taken out of the militia class and become veritaable federal force. with such pro vision governing the location of units, the appointment of officers and repre- sentatives in the general stan as the congress may prescribe.
