PLENTY OF OFFICERS
FOR NEW DRAFTEES
5000 of the Line and 10000 in
Training Are Avail
able

Washington, April S.--War Depart
ment officials announce there will be
no shortage of officers for the new
draft army
At last accounts there was a surplus
Of about 5000 line officers Many men
commissioned in field artillery have been
transferred to aviation because of the
surplus of artillery officers
On April 10 the officers training
camps. which opened January 5, will
conclude their work. II is expected
that fully 1900 men will receive COM
missions then.
A large proportion of those now in
officers training camps were taken
from non-commissioned ranks. Others
were graduates Of or students at specl-
fled colleges and academies In which
military training is compulsory. These
men are preferred because they have
absorbed the groundwork required to
make good officers. Consequently, po-
litical pull is destined to have less in
fluence in securing commissions for con-
StituentS

DELAWARE PARTIES
SEEKING HARMONY
Democrats and Republicans
Try to Heal Inter-
nal Splits

Dover, Del, April S.--with tho intcn-
ton of matching steel against steel at
the election in the fall the two major
political parties SO far as the Delaware
contingent is concerned on the same
day, Wednesday, April 10, will attempt
the task Of patching up their factional
differences with the hope of presenting
united front in each camp from That
time until the polls close in November.
Both parties are badly torn. In the
Democratic ranks the WolCott- salisbury
feud, dating back almost TO wartimes,
has not healed, while the Republicans
are ripped from stem 10 stern by the
du Pont family fight. in which Alfred I,
appears to be gradually winning the
control from his cousins, former Sena-
tor Henry A. and 7. Coleman du Pont.
The Republicans will have their
harmony pow-wow first. meeting here
during the afternoon The state COM
mttec has been called together by
Chairman Alden II. Benson at the re-
quest Of the New Castle County mem
bcrs, who are said to be chiefly affiliated
with the Alfred I. du Pont faction, while
Benson and many Of the other down
state members are not.
The Democrats will have their love
feast" in Wilmington in the evening at
a dinner which will be given by the Dem-
oCratic League of Delaware Both the
salisbury and WOlcott factions have
been invited aud the replies received so
far indicate that the invitations will be
accepted. Both Senators Salisbury and
Wolcott. who are regarded as the pres
cnt chief representatives of the two
party factions, are to make addresses,
as is also Congressman Albert +. Polk.
