Washington, Jan. s.--The third Sc
ries OF training camps for reserve of
ficers will open tomorrow. according
to the plans laid down by the war
department The men who fail to OBJ
tain commissions wIll be required to

missioned positions, The pay OF the
men in the next camps will be that
OF a private, $50 a month.
The plans do not comprise the rec
concentrations of the training lamps
association for notifications in the
training camp system. Such recon-
mendations would assure a continuous
supply OF officers and would have
greater regard for the individual ca
pacity of the men who enter the
camps.
Alterations for higher efficiency in
producing officers for the commits
stoned ranks will probably be under
consideration. A few pertinent sug-
gestions In this regard are being urged
from various sources. The most prom
inent that may be considered follow;

Third Series of Training Camps For
Reserve Officers Will Open Tomorrow

as at present in camps held for a pc
riod of few months only.
To such schools there might be ad-
mitted applicants from civil life. Sc
lected with the greatest care, on the
same basis OF selection and with the
same qualifications as required for the
second series OF officers camps, as well
as selected men from the troops IN
service,
Training period to be adjusted to
each mans ability to learn the pre-
scribed course.
The schools to be conducted by Of
ficers and reserve officers selected be-
cause of their demonstrated ability as
teachers and the faculty of officers
should be refreshed from time to time
by officers returning from the 'front.'
so that eventually II of tae instruc-
tors should be officers whJ have seen
active service.
Though these suggestions have the
approval OF many high army officers,
the war department looks askance at
changing It's present plans. which pro
vide for a continuation Of the short
period training camp. It is under
stood that officers sent to Europe will
not be sent back to train other proc
psctivs ofllcsrs IN the Untksd states.

Sheet Music Would Make
Hit With Boys In France
BY FRANK ]. TAYLOR

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WITH THE. AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, June IS (By Mail):-
The boys want music over here in
the trenches. If you want to make
a hit with a soldier boy. send him
some of the latest song hits, so that
he and his pals can try to harmon
lie" on them during the long even
ings they spend in the trenches or
among the ruins or somewhere In the
woods.
European officers say the American
Army is the most musical In the
world. The boys are always going
about their work, whether it's
marching into the trenches or filling
up a shell hole in the road, with n
song.
A song to sing is a great thing. 1t
boosts up the spirit and the morale,
and makes a man forset the things
he doesn't like. The fellows in the
army who can't sing always whistle.
Somewhere in every group is an in
.strument of some kind, often nothing
more than a couple of strings owe q
cigar box with a handle on it-but
something hat will make a tune.
The boys usually get near a hut"
that has q photograph now and then
try out the songs. But they want
new ones, the latest ones from Amer
lea, the soldier songs that take so
long to drift across the sea, unless
some one sends sheet music.
So IL you want to make a hit with
q "doughboy' send him some sheet
music, the latest thing you a get
from Broadway. The best way to
send 1t is in an envelope, sealed tight,
as first class matter. for otherwise it
may be lost.
