Many Americans Are Included.

SO far as the Americans are con-
cerned. many of the training areas
and the largest artillery proving
ground are not Included. while prac-
tically all the aviation camps are left
out. -Aviators attached to general
headquarters and doing office work
there get the chevron. while those in
training do not get it until the actual
front is reached. The greater part of
the line of communication is not con-
sidered as being outside.
Possibly the ruling eventually will
be modified so as to include the whole
of France. Many others are eligible
to a chevron on the right sleeve. an in
dica ton that they have been wounded
or gassed. All chevrons will be award
ed orders by company and higher
commanders. \ recomme nda ton has
already been made to award the dis
tinguished service cross for an act of
bravery to an officer who in daylight

service cross is made retroa ctive TO
April O. 1917, the date of the entrance,
OF the United States into the war a

Fhey are TO be of gold. and will be
worn on the lower half of the left

states, will be considered a wound"
Additional Awards.

The commanding general o. the ex-

On April :. 1917, the Atlantic feet lay
in the mouth of the Chesapeake. and
when the word came
Manning that war had been de-
the Fleet elared' Admiral Mayo
; found it unnecessary TO give any order
to pass the feet from basis of peace
| to one of war. The feet was ready.
The officers were trained to their
positions with which they were IA
miliar; the gun crews had been train
ed to their stations and all the units
of that great fighting machine were
ready to the minute
But there were practically no re
serves of men and still fewer of Of
ficers.
Then came the orders to send the de-
stroyers abroad; to man converted
yachts, patrol boats, chasers, to Or
ganize the battleship feet in reserve
into q fully manned fleet; to recruit
thousands of additional. men for the
Navy. and to establish schools for the
training of the new men and new Of
fcers. Great depots had to be estab-
hshed, yard facilities had to he Great
ed. the administrative forces had to be
increased. and nearly all the officers
land efficient enlisted men available
were in the Atlantic feet. The disin-
tegration of that highly trained per-
sonnet was so the officers say. almost
heartbreakins, especially to Admiral
Mayo. who had brought il TO its state
of fitness.

rs men.
Ordnance orga MIA tions and some ten
universities have furnished the ma
terial about to enter the service as
supply officers. A number of universi-
ties have given special courses of six
weeks to prepare students for this
work The War Department sends those
com pleting the college course with
credit to the several arsenals for prac-
teal training, And the best men select
ed from these are the university men
in the Camp Meade school. Each camp
and cantonment also sends a certain
number of men from the field depots
and stations and they represent the
Army in the school.
The school is in charge of Maj. Free
man W. Bowley, with q staff of twelve
assistants.

changes in the plans of ORIGINATING
former camps. Gen. Morrison. it is
said, before leaving the department
made recommendations now under con-
sideration.
He commended that the training for
the several branches of the service be
concentrated in those camps especially
adapted for those particular lines. He
suggested that those intended for in
fantry officers be trained at Fort
Leavenworth: those for cavalry at Fort
Riley. and that artillery students be
assigned TO Fort Sill.
1t is by no means improbable that
the medical training camps will be
concentrated at Fort Ogiethorpe. There
is nothing that will prevent the War
Department from putting all the equip
nent 1t wants at the other camps.
The date for opening the new camp
will be about June l. Candidates will
probably be selected in substantially
the same manner as those for the third
camp, from the enlisted men of the
Regular ARM, the National Guard
and the National ArmY. with a certain
number of men t. ken from the ap-
proved list Of colleges and military
ment.

CAN'T MAKE LACK OF FUNDS
EXCUSE.

In the first week of September
workingman entered the bond
department of one of Chicago s
largest banks. He asked for the
last list published, and picked out
a six per cent issue. He then ask
ed one of the statesmen for a quo
tation, and received a sad, sweet
smile in reply The bonds had all
been sold.
His lamentations melted the
salesman S heart. "I'll try and
get some for you on the market, "
he promised, and adroitly extri-
Gated himself from the customer s
embrace.
The issue had been for S60,000,-
600. and the impoverished dwell
ers in this war wasted land had
gobbled II like ice-eream. Since
those of us who don t fight must
work-whether we like it or not
we naturally nave money
whether we like it or not, and
sound concerns that want 500, 0O0,-
600 at 6 per cent can soon get it.
''Those of us who don t fight. "
What is our answer TO the fourth
loan appeal ON behalf of those
who do What viii the munition
shop hand at ten dollars a day do
for his khaki clad brother at 80
dollars a month"; We are not all
high priced wOrkmen, but there
are few of us who cannot buy a
bond by installments.
We boast that American sol
diers are the best fed and the best
treated soldiers in the world. We
shall be eternalEy disgraeed if we
fall below standard; we are the
richest nation. For those who
daily risk mutilation, tOrturing
wounds and death no sacrifice
that we make can discharge the
full measure of our obligation.
