Embryo Commanders to Know Fu-

Two thousand student officers at the
Fort Myer Training Camp who for
the past three months have been en-
gagged in the fiercest sort Of competi-
ton to prove their fitness to become
majors, captains and neutenants in
the United States army, are becoming
exceedingly nervous concerning their

some of the candidates have been so
thoroughly inoculated with the "wor-

soon be over, however. as announce

official list of those who are to receive
commissions will be announced by
Secretary Baker on Saturday.

vegetables which otherwise would
go to waste

The school authorities met the sit

the public. the various cooking schools
throughout the District of &C iumbia.
Every school having equipment for
domestic science work was ordered to
be open on certain days in the week.

HOROSCOPE.
Thursday, August 0. 1917.

Mars, Venus and Jupiter rule
strongly for good today. while
Saturn and the Sun are adverse.
The aspects seem to Indicate that
Mars and Venus are closely asso-
ciated in influence, so. more and
more, love will rule and inspire SOL
diers.
This should be a very lucky we'd
ding day, making for worldly sue
cess as well as true happiness.
The army il under good direction
during this configuration, but it has
the prognostication of sensational
events that may react upon the men
higher up.
The prophets say that out of the
war will come new Americanism,
less material and more exalted in its
Ideals than the old national spirit.
In the balance astrologers still
hold their prophecies concerning the
war, but 1t is probable that, despite
the signs read as promises Of a sud
den peace, there will be q long con-
fiict.
He who has an application to
present should delay action until the
Sun is in more auspicious aspect.
1t Is a most unfavorable rule un-
der which to seek office, appoint
ment or commission Of any sort.
Trouble over mines and mining Is
presaged by the stars. Labor prob
lens will come much to the front
within a month.
An act ill-advised and impetuous
on the part of q man who is con,
spicuous in the nation may greatly
embarrass the President.
There is an ill-omen affecting some
great financial undertaking in which
the public Is interested. This seems
to presage mismanagement and Dos
sible loss Of public funds.
Increase in the birthrate is fore
shadowed. and again the seers de-
clare that children will achieve a
place OF new Importance as a na-
tional responsibility.
Persons whose birthdate Il IN NAV
have a year of vicissitudes. The
young will court and marry.
Children born on this day will
probably be talented and endowed
with charm Of personality, but these
subjects of Leo are not usually for
tunate In business. Girls may not
marry happily.

FINE PAID BY PIERCE
FOR STREET SPEECH

Julian Pierce, the Socialist orator,
paid a $50 fine in Police Court yester-
day morning, after being adjudged
guilty Of making a speech on the
Avenue without a permit.
Pierce originally intended to have a
lawyer defend him, but at the last
moment decided to conduct his own
defense. He did not expect to be
cleared of the charge, but directed
his efforts to have the name of the
person or persons brought forth who
protested to Maj. Pullman about the
Socialist meeting in the streets. and
to call the courts attention to the
treatment he alleges he received
from Capt. Flather at the time of
his arrest.
The court refused to listen to either
