CAMP SHERMAN, CHILLICOTHE
O., Oct. 1G-It is becoming evident at
Camp Sherman why the European war
is sometimes referred to as the lieu
tenants war.
Enlargement of companies to the
French and British strength OF $50
men makes the lieutenant, instead of
the captain, the personal leader" Un-
der the old American army plan, the
captain was the personal leader. But
which is being worked out here, the
captain has practically relinquished
that place to the lieutenants, who
command the four platoons into which
each company is divided.
The captain now occupies much the
same position as the major occupied
under the old organization scheme
There is an interesting study Of
men at hand in Camp Sherman. Be
tween thirty-five and forty thousand
of them furnish types, nationalities,
personalities and every other side of
life that could be found in any collec-
ton, and it probably is more varied
hero because the "prime age" is repre-
sented and there are men from every
conceivable class.
At this particular time, the actions
and characteristics of men who are
officers and on-commissioned officers
perhaps is the most noticeable thing
to outsiders. There are officers here
who might be classed with the prime.
es" of all time. They are jolly good
fellows, hailfellows-well-met and all
other kinds of good fellows. They
abound in the ranks of both the com.
missioned and non-commissioned of.
licers.
Then there, are the fellows who have
been lifted to heights of power, influ
ence, dignity, haughtiness and every
thing else that is "up there" if you
would judge by their actions and de
meanor. They are the type the selec
tive draft men refer to as the "Quinc
es of gool fellows" They usually have
their eyebrows arched and an appear
ance of disdain bursting from every
seam. They want all to make way foi
them do their bidding and-they want
to run things. They have little diplo
macy and respect for others.
Fortunately for the drafted men
such officers are in the minority. Mos
of the officers are real men.
The old-time county fair way o
drinking cider through straw is be
coming the popular way of drinking
coffee at Camp Sherman. 1t is abou
the only way the selectives can get
good hot cup of Java without gettin,
'their lips burned.
Cups used at the camp are made O
aluminium, which is a good conducto
of heat. Hot coffee makes these cup
almost hotter than the, coffee itself
So it is either suffer burned lips or lie
the coffee cool. Or-as few selective
have discovered, use a straw and foi
get about the hot rim of the cup.

Teutons had Mapped Out Pro-
gram by which They Would
sr Conquer World
PRUsS1AN PEACE NOTE
DECLARED HYPOCRICY

Washington, Sept. G5.-PredictiOn
that Germany would wage war for
world conquest in about Is years,
was made to the late Admiral Dewey
at Manila in 1898 10y Captain Won
Goetz Of the German imperial navy,
Senator Lewis today told the senate.
Quoting. report from Admiral
Dewey to the navy department the
Illinois senator said that Won GOetz
told the American naval officer that
Germany would capture Paris as the
first step to subjugate England. The
taking Of New York and Washington
was to follow in order that Germany
might secure an enormous cash in
demnity. The wiping out of the Mon
roe doctrine and the control of South
America by Germany also was pre-
dicted by the eGrman officer, declared
Senator Lewis, who was discussing
peace negotiations.
J For some reason the government
had not given the report wide circu-
latiOn, Senator Lewis continued, 5ut
in the face of it now "any senator
whe,, speaks here or elsewhere against
any measure of his country, lends
himself to the enemy"
il. Characterizing the German reply to
Pope Benedict's note as "Prussian
peace Hypocrisy" and an affront both
to the pope and President Wilson,
Senator Lewis scored what he term
ed ''laggards in patriotism" and those
who argue against the war.
