VIII lnduct Qualified Men
For Coast Artillery Corps

~ special Correspondent
TRENTON, Oct. 14:-"The public
generally does not seem to have a
clear understanding of the duties and
functions of the coast artillery in the
present war; declared Colonel w. =.
Ellis. commanding the coast defense
OF h Potomac, in a statement issued
here today. This corps of the army.
In addition to manning the coast de-
lenses OF the United States, also fur
nishes large quotas Of heavy artillery
for service in France. The call Is
urgent and these quotas are being
continually sent across. The demand
Is so great that. IL the war continues
six months longer, 1t is practically
certain that every man. who is physi-
cally qualified for overseas service
and who joins the coast artillery now,
will be sent to France for service with
the heavy artillery units OF the expe-
dictionary forces"
In order to secure the services of
men who are specially needed, the
chief of the coast artillery has Sc
cured authority from the War De-
partment to specially induct Septem-
Der IL registrants OF the following
classes: Candidates for commissions
In the coast artillery corps, stenogra-
piers. radio operators, electricians,
craftsmen, automobile mechanics,
cooks and bandsmen. 1t is probable
that the privilege of special induction
will be granted for a limited time
only, because, after a man is once
called by his local board for service,
he will ordinarily not be allowed to
select the arm OF the service to which
he will be sent.
Officer material is especially de-
sired, according to Colonel Ellis. Any
man between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five, who is physically fit
for overseas service, is known to be a
man OF good moral character and
who possesses the necessary educa-
tional qualifications, is eligible for
commission as second lieutenant in
the coast artillery crops. Those men
who are indicted with a view to Sc
curing commissions are sent for a
period varying from one to six weeks
to a coast artillery fort in the vicinity
of their home. Here they are given
a special training for the purpose of
qualifying them to enter the officer
candidate school at Fort Monroe, Va.
The basic qualifications for admission
into the school include a good work.

not including quadratics. geometry

MATAWAN, Oct. 14:-There seems
to be no let up as yet in the influenza
epidemic in this locality and whether
or not h disease has reached Its
peak here can not be learned at this
time. All the doctors are over
worked, some of them to such an ex-
tent that they have been unable up
to the present time to notify the To-

number OF cases treated by them.
However. IL is expected that these re-

There have been many deaths in

low.

II should be said that this 10 the
darkest view Of the future possible to
the German economists. II Is not
paraded to the world. 1t Is disclosed
only when one sc~rutinizes the possibili-
ties OF the vast machinery which Is be-
ing organized In Germany to meet CON
ditions after. the war. Those who are
working upon the plans have consid-
cred the very rock bottom of their
country's chances. What they are pre-
pared for. however, is very different
from what they expect. They expect
to 20 into the peace conference with
political and military control unques-
tionably established where continuing
possession would be a long step towarc
attainment of economic domination or
where their position would be so patent
ly menacing to the security Of rival
nations that a bargain could be struck
under which immediate resumption of
commerce with all parts of the world
would be possible.
Germany's preparations for peace
are conceived on such q large scale
and run to such details of management
that II is impossible here to do mere
than Indicate their general features.
II measures are taken by the En-
tente Allies to finance the reconstruct
ton Of Belgium, France. Russia, Rou-
mnnia, Serbia and the other countrles'
and TO supply them with materials a
a way that will make 1t impossible for
Germany to profit by her denudatiOn
of them, Germany will. according to
her view, be able to resume her trade
with other countries just the same.
Her belief is thnt her present enemies
will be unable to rehabilitate Europe
themselves and the rest of the world
at one and the same time that some
where will appear an opportunity for
the German ship aud the German prod
uct.
Upon first approaching the problem
of reconstruction the German leaders
~yisualIzed two distinct periods, tho
period of transition to a peace basis,
and the period Of Industrial and COM
mercial expansion which would follow.
An organization was therefore created
to handle all economic questions per-
tanning to the transition period, Blu It's
functions have now been absorbed by
the Imperial Department Of Economic
Affairs. Curiously enough, there had
never been a Department of Commerce
In the Imperial administration. COM
mercial matters having been In charge
of the Ministry Of the Interior. The
war brought a realization OF the need
of such a department and the Interior
Department was divided.
Notwithstanding protests. the prin-
ciple seems to be well established that
all branches of business must consent
to q very great degree OF state con-
troll. The public mind Is being soothed
toward II by representations Of the I'M
possibility of doing justice TO all other
wise. The point that Is agitatlng many
foreslghted persons in Germany Is the
seeming probability that the great
