laundering for New Plan.

So there has been a laundering for a
new kind of campaigning. What better
method than to go to the war zone it
self, brave the submarine dangers in
heavily conveyed ship and get peek
at the German trenches from some quiet
sector in the lines and come back and
tell the folks all about it with the air of
an experienced military observer.
Other members of Congress have
sought to go abroad, however, for much
more serious reasons. They have wanted
to know just what was happening, what
the condition of our fighting men has
been and is to be, what food they were
getting, what the general spirit and
feeling of the troops might be. Some,
too, have wanted to get a little knowl-
edge of the political side of the war,
the fields of international politics, the
claims of the belligerents, their aspira-
lions for territory and their attitude
toward America. Other members OF
Congress have not cared about the pub
licity OF the trip. but have been anxious
to get at first hand precise information
about the many things for which Con-
gress is asked to appropriate money.

Nothing New for Him.

Despite his forty years of age, Can
didate Button is physically one Of the
best built men in camp. His out-of-
doors life has made him able to stand
any physical strain to which he may
be put in the Army. In donning the
uniform and insignia of the Engineer
Corps he is merely taking up again
u life which he led many years ago,
for he served as an enlisted man in
this branch of the service during the
SpaniSh-American war.
Announcement was made today that
approximately $500 enlisted men of
the various camps throughout the
United States will be given the OPP
portunity to train as officers in the
Engineer Corps. All soldiers at the
different Army camps and CANTON
ments who are between the ages of
twenty years and eight months and
forty years and have received TECH
nical education will be given the OPP
portunity of applying for admission
to the engineer officers training
school at Humphreys.
The initial call for candidates, to be
repeated at intervals, is for one man
from each company. It is estimated
that this percentage Of the personnel
of each company will furnish fully
$3.50 aspirants for commissions.

Mr.. Sherley's Trip "Typical.".

OF the congressman who have gone
to Europe with the mission Of famil-
iarizing themselves with war condi-
tions, the visit of Representative
man of the House committee on ap-
preparations, is typical. Few people
certainly none of the newspapers
know that he went to England and
France, talked with high officials, Wis
tied Gen. Pershing, went to the front
the present American offensive-and
came, back to America just as I'M
heralded as he went away. What he
learned in, France he told Informally
to the officials of our government on
his return. It was from these sources
that the fact of his visit leaked out
today.
Representative Sherley has been
working day and night for a long
time on appropriation bills for the
war. Since the resignation of John
j. Fitzgerald. Mr.. Sherley has borne
measures and plotting them through
the House. He is one of the studious
types of men in Congress and he has
been anxious to get picture for him
self of our war machine abroad. He
asked the President and Secretary of
War first if they had any objection
to his going. Not only did they have
no objection, but they facilitated his
journey so that he would have every
opportunity to see things at close
range. He crossed to England and
France. talked with our own repre-
sentatives abroad, our officers and
our men, made an automobile trip to
various parts Of the battle front that
he wanted to see, conversed with
officials of the other governments and
came back home several days ago.
He had long conference with Secre-
tary Lansing and then spent an hour
with President Wilson.

TRIP WAS UNANNoUNcED
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1915. by n. Y. Evening Post, Inc
Many members of Congress feel, not
unlike the Secretary of War, that a
visit to the war zone every. now and
then is a good thing. Some, of course.
have thought it good thing from
many points of view. There have
been those who thought it was a
capital stunt to engage the attention
of their constituencies SO as to ac-
cumulate votes in the autumn cleo
lions. Many member has felt that
the old-fashioned kind of can(paign-
ing would work to his disadvantage.
The presence of a senator or repre-
sentative at home for any long
period of time begets the question of
what that senator or representative
can be doing to win the war If he
is away from Washington most of
the time.
