the place Of first lieutenant. Three
others would also be nominated for that
office. One would be elected and the
five remaining would become the nom
lnees for the second l~ieutenancy.
All four Of the men picked as can
dldates for captain were SPANISH Amer
lean war veterans. and it is alleged that
the scheme was to elect one of them
captain, one first lieutenant and enc
second lieutenant.
When the time came for the election
Captain Woolpert stated that as he was
not familiar with parliamentary rules,
he would call b. W. Macy, a Spanish
American war veteran, to preside. Mr..
Macy pulled from his pocket the slate
which had been fixed up and started
the ball rolling.
Men who were opposed to such tao
ties began to shout their objections, and
First Lieutenant Hall made a motion to
lay the committee s report on the table.
To the surprise OF the little clique of
Spanish American wan veterans, ,mls
carried. Han then moved to have the
nominations made from the floor. This
carried, and the slate was thoroughly
smashed.
The election which followed result
ed in the selection of Arnold, a Spanish
American war veteran, as captain; Cliff
ford Brown, a Tia Juana, as first lieu
tenant, and Morelock as second lieuten-
ant. Morelock received the support of
those who had broken the slate as they
said they wanted to get him out OF
Company ID, of which he was top ser
geant.
AS Captain Woolpert had been named
as major, with Moreloek out of Com
pany u, that left only First Lieutenant
Hall and Second Lieutenant Wilson,
who had been active in opposing Wool
pert s manipulations, as hne officers in
Company ID.
Inc third company, known as the
business men s company, was IN process
of organization by NJ. l.. Meyers, and
they asked to have Hall assigned as cap
tain of their company.
Men in Company d, the original com
pany, were to be divided, some remain

1t was soon discovered that Wool

all the friends of Second Lieutenant
Wilson, who had fought their states. 1t
appeared evident that they planned to
remov all chance of Wilson being Sc
lected as captain of Company ID. 1t win
be remembered that Wilson was the
only elected officer left in that com
pany.
1t was in connection with the election
for this company that Rev. Mr.. Burke
made the speech in which he denounced
the sort of politics which was being
played in the guard. He then placed
Wilson's name in nomination for cap
tain, and Wilson was elected by 40 out
Of 81 votes.
Mr.. Burke next nominated Fred E
Mangis for first lieutenant and A. b
Poole for second lieutenant. Both were
elected, and none of the three Officers

Sneak For Rnssia

Washington, April 6-President Will
son will add a fresh word of encour-
agement for Russia in his Baltimore
speech tonight was the conviction IN
diplomatic quarters today.
This view was derived in part from
the fact that the president has coun-
selled lately with Charles r. Crane of
Chicago, who studied Russia at close
range, and with the white house con
fidential adviser, Colonel House.
Cranes views of Russis-although
not OF TrCtsky and Lenine-are par
tieularly sympathetic, and in accord
with the chief executive s, Crane be-
lieves that despite the chaos IN the
Slav nation there is a strong chance
to get the Russians ultimately to east
off the Teuton yoke.
The presidents ideas on Russia have
been clearly elueidated in the past,
h~t it IS likely that he viii enlarge on
them now.
.-laentally, some liberals back
from Europe are urging that Wilson
recognize the soviet government OF
Russia. This. they say, would give a
strong stimulus 10 the rehabilitation
of Russia and overthrow of Teutonism.
1t is urged that the growing antl-Ger-
man spirit in Russia should be Guilt
waited, both for its effect on RUSSIA
and for its effect on that portion OF
Teutonia opposed to the ~roughshod
methods used on Russia and Rumanla'

problems and is not, therefore, rlsklng
