war department has decided and an
nounced that the appointment to vol
unteer commissions will be made
from those classes Of our citizens who
have had such experience, and thai
from those classes the selections will
be made In the following order:
(A)-Persons who have had expert.
ence as commissioned officers in the
regular army Of the United States and
ex-oficers Of volunteers of proved ex.
perience and efficiency.
(B)-Non-cOmmissiOned officers OF
experience in the regular army.
(C)-Persons who have had expert.
ence as officers In the militia.
(D)-Persons who have qualified
according to law under prescribed ex-
aminatiOns to test their fitness to
command and control men In the field.
(E)-Graduates of educational In
situations Of military standing to
which regular army officers are de-
tailed as professors Of military science
under the law.
(F)-Should the necessary number
of volunteer officers required not be
furnished from the above classes, the
war department will give civilians
lacking In actual military experience
an opportunity to appear for examina-
ton to test their fitness for commits
sions, before boards which the war de-
partment proposes to create In the
several states.
Begin Training at Once.
Under the caption Training Of Vol
u~nteers" the war college pamphlet
reads:
1.-THE training of volunteer troops
must begin without delay after their
induction into the service. No time
must be lost. 1t should begin at the
company rendezvous, without waiting
for complete mobilization. Under our
traditional policy Of relying princi-
pally for defense upon citizen SOL
diers, the larger part Of our land
forces will not be fully trained on the
outbreak Of war. 1t Is o than
probable that we shall have to employ
some of them with little or no train
ing as soon as they can be assembled
in suitable units.
1.-THE amount and character Of the
training will at first be directly pro-
portional to the time consumed, pro-
vided a rational scheme be followed.
How much time will be available 1t
Is impossible to predict. 1t is reason
able to assume, however, that in the
event of q war with m oversee enemy
1t will be the time required for our
enemy to establish at least a partial
control Of the sea sufficient to open
the way for landing Of expeditionary
forces.
"Any system Of training, however,
good in itself, will fail to bring the de-
sired results unless there are avail
able q sufficient number of trained in
structOrs, officers and nOncOmmis-
stoned officers. The blind cannot lead
the blind"
Referring to the mobilization Of the
armies, the war college
out that all points of mobiliza-
ton have been selected, one In each
state Of the Union, and that these pre-
liminary arrangements have been APP
proved by both the federal and state
authorities. These plans provide for
the necessary buildings, for water sup
ply, and ali other essential needs
will arise.

AIM OF GERMANS O BREAK
THRU ITALIAN LINES FOR COM.
FORTABl.E WINTER QUARTERS
ON PLAINS Is FRUSTRATED

| WASHINGTON. n. c.. Dec. ~
Heavy snowfalls in the rough country
ot northeastern Italy are expected to
greatly hamper the Austro-German
armies. according to Rome dispatches
which told of the failure of the cen
trail powers to smash the Italian lines,
sltho hundreds of thousands of men
were sacrificed.
These dispatches confirmed previ-
Gus reports of lull after terrific
fighting. when the Germans and Aus
trians made desperate efforts to gain
their general objective-the plains OF
where it was planned to es-
tablish comfortable winter quarters.
This description of the situation is
given:
The fierce fighting of the last few
days has subsided into period of
comparative calm. The superhuman
resistance of the Italians prevented
the Austro-Germans from attaining
the strategical ends Of their objective
altho they succeeded in obtaining
gains OF purely tactical character.
The failure Of the enemy attacks is
indicated by the inactivity on the
entire front for three consecutive
days. The invaders have desisted
from attacking positions in the direc-
tion of the Brenta canal on account
Of the complete exhaustion of the
forces engaged.
General Conrad has sacrificed
hundreds of thousands of his best SOL
diers in successive assaults preceded
by unprecedented artillery prepara-
ton. and today the potion Of the
Austro-Germans. while not improved
by progress made, is. in fact. more
unfavorable to them than at the be-
ginning of the offensive, because of
the difficulties of revictualing the
troops. The heavy snowfalls OF the
season will also aggregate the hard
ships Of the enemy and threaten the
lines OF Communication.
1T may be stated. therefore. that
the central powers have failed to OBJ
tain their general objective. namely.
to break thru our lines into the plains
OF Italy. where they expected to find
comfortable shelter during the win
ter months"

decide to take over operation OF the

In their views just as to what is

strongest supporters OF this proposal
