SELECTIONS FOR
SECOND RESERVE
TOBE READY SOON
Captain Byrode Has Nearly
Completed Examinations for
Second List for Reserve
Officers Camp.

Examination of 1,400 men of Ne
braska, who would be reserve officers,
is the task now nearing completion by
Captain Byrode, of the United States
army.
Since June IS, Captain Byrode and
his assistants have been hard at work
out at Fort Crook selecting the 200
men who will furnish 'Nebraska's
quota of reserves for the second Of
ficers' training camp at Fort Smelling.
The board has been swamped with ap-
plications, SO many of which are
worthy that the final choice has been
difficult.
An applicant for the officers reserve
camp must, first of all, pass a search
ing physical test. Even more than
the men under him, the officer must
be sound in nerves and body. He
must reach high educational stand
ards, usually having a college educa-
ton or its equivalent. Lastly, he
must furnish strong evidence of his
ability to handle men. All the evi-
dence presented by the 1,400 men
who have applied to Captain Byrode
has been carefully weighed hy him,
making, with the examinations he
himself gives them and the physical
tests, no small task.
The complete list of the accepted
applicants from Nebraska will be
ready in a few days.

mont, yesterday to witness the first
official demonstration of the iron
steeds.
One hundred and twenty-five ma
chimes were in the field for five hours,
the signal to start being given at 10
a. m. Owing to the muddy roads
following the rains of Monday a
score of the tractors failed to erach
the felds where the plowing was done
in time to start the schedule.
Four hundred acres of stubble land
were converted into plowed fields
ready for seeding.
Tractors of all types from the MAN.
moth moguls pulling dozen bottoms
to the smaller machines with only
two plows attached were in action.
Interested groups of farmers fol-
lowed the tractors across the fields
comparing the work of the respective
machines. Visitors from all over Ne
b raska, Kansas, Iowa, South Dakota,
Colorado, Wyoming and other states
are in Fremenot to see the steel
steeds perform. Many farmers have
driven for long distances with their
families and are spending the week
at the tractor shows.
In attendance at the shows are
representatives of number of for
eign governments, including England,
France, Russia, Mexico and other
countries. The foreigners are sent
here to study the various types Of
tractors with view to making pur-
chases for their governments.
They bring the information that the
allies look to American implement
dealers to furnish the farm machinery
that will be needed to produce the
food to feed the soldiers engaged in
this gigantic war.
All countries represented will make
a big increase in the amount of land
devoted to raising food crops next
year and, as the man power is de-
creased materially by war, machine
power is looked upon as the solution
TO the problem.
Among the representatives of for
eign governments in attendance at the
show are Lieutenant Paul Mittaine,
head of the auto and public works de-
partment of the French Purchasing
commission; General Baldwin of the
technical department of the Russian
government, and several army officers
and engineers; J. L, Kennedy Mexico

New Aircraft, Three Times the
Size Of Any Ever Used in
United States, Fly at
Comet Speed.

United States army aeroplane ex-

craft that travel with the velocity of
comets, according to information
given to The Bee by persons who
have seen the planes.

to make the trip in five hours.
Whether this means one way or the
round trip is not known. One source
of information declared the voyage
from San Fra. -isco to Salt Lake City
and return, l,s00 miles, is being made
regularly in five hours.
SPEED OF COMETS.
The presumption is this refers to
the one-way trip between the two
cities and would mean a rate of 100
miles an hour.
The planes are said to be at least
three times the size Of any other heav-
ier than air machines ever used in
the United States.
Each is equipped with tank capac-
ity for gasoline sufficient to enable
the machine to travel the entire dis
tance without landing. Economy of
consumption is said to be one of the
main features of the new type of
plane being developed.
Experts working on the machines
are said to be confident that they have
developed war craft that will re
able to fly from allied territory
beyond the German border to Berlin
and make the return in safety.
Army and Navy Cooperation.
Trial trips in the western states
have encouraged the War department
to believe that its huge plan for the
invasion OF the central powers can
be successfully carried out.
This in turn has given the Navy de-
partment inspiration to begin the con-
struction of great aeroplane factory
at League Island navy yard, Philadel-
phia, at a cost of $l,000,000. Secre-
try Josephus Daniels announced last
night that the factory would be COM
pleted within 100 days.
Cooperation between, the army and
navy in the proposed air invasion of
Germany and its allies is foreshad-
owed in the announcement by the
head Of the Navy department.
Though the utmost secrecy sur
rounds the flights of the new craft
in the west they are the talk of the
country over which they pass.
Flash in the Sky.
People hear distant whrr from
the skies, see speeding fash o
hazy lights like the tail of come
and realize that the colossal, mys.
terious machine birds of the night
have swept across the heavens again
When the monsters first flew over
Ogden, Utah, observers supposed they
were dirigibles because of their great
size, but finally were convinced that
lighter than air machines could not
attain such terrific speed.
Other observers feared they were
hostile aircraft and one United States
attorney reported these fears to
Washington.

RUSS REPUBLIC

Head Of U. S. Mission Says
internal Situation Is Clearing
and That Freedom and

Washington, Aug. 8.-A Russian re-

ion of Elihu Root, head of the Ameri-
can mission, which returned here to-
day from its three months visit to

Roots opinion only through the over
whelming of the country by German
armies, making impossible further de-
velopment in the formation of the
new government, can prevent the
erection of the Russian republic.
Situation Developing Rapidly.
Internal difficulties are being over

Radicals Under Control.
"We took a long time to form this
government of the United States of
America" said Mr. Root, adding with
a smile, "and / judge from the news
papers that we have not yet perfected
it and that a good deal remains to be
done. 1t will take some time for
the new Russian government to take
form, though it is a fact that in the
short period of its existence remark
able progress has been made in that
direction. 1t cannot be said that the
bottom has been struck, but the pros
poets certainly are bright"
Moral Support Needed.
Americas part in the re-organiza-
ZION of Russia, Mr.. Root said,. already

are moral support; railways, mate
rials, money and expert help in the
development of industries.
Evidently Mr. Root had no fear of
