The course will last fifteen weeks,
and upon its successful completion,
the young officers will receive tempo

the United States into the war.

NO TURKEYS THIS YEAR
EXCEPT FOR FIGHTERS
Soldier. Even In Far Trenches, To Get
Share. But None For Home Tables
On Thanksgiving, Day

AS Uncle Sam has bought up the
entire supply of cold storage turkeys
and the greater supply of fresh killed
turkeys to feed his fighting sons on
Thanksgiving, the outlook is unfa
vorable that the consumers of this city
will have their customary turkey din
ner this year. The Government has
made arrangements to feed the SOL
diers turkey. even those in the front
line, and will give the sailors fricassed
fowls, 100000 pounds having been
bought this week for the navy and
transports and 10000 additional
pounds of turkey for the soldiers.
There will be no cold storage tur-
keys for the consumers this Thanks
giving, p. @. Foy, Washington mar
ket expert, said yesterday, and they
will have to take their chances in the
supply of fresh killed turkeys, which
will come in about week before
Thanksgiving, and if the Government
does not regulate the price it will soar
high, he declared
1T would be a patriotic duty for the
giving turkey this year" Mr. Foy said,
$50 that Uncle Sam can get them to
feed the boys in the service on Christ
mas Day. By Thanksgiving the mar
ket here will be well supplied with
fancy roasting chickens, fat ducks and
geese that can take the place of the
turkeys at a lower individual cost, and
at the same time making the little sac
rifice, so that the boys can be made
happy by having a turkey dinner on
Thanksgiving and Christmas"
Mr.. Foy, who conceived and carried
out the idea of giving the soldiers in
Uncle Sans First Army to be sent
abroad send-off dinner, added that
the supply of fresh killed turkeys for
the consumers will not be very large
as the Government has ordered that
hens must weigh eight pounds and
toms more than eleven pounds before
being slaughtered, except Texas tur-
keys which may weigh one pound
less before being killed.

officer. Nelson was stabbed in the
neck and over the heart this morning
as he. sat at the mess in one of the
mess halls of the 18th Infantry. The
quarrel which resulted in the murder
occurred in the company kitchen last
night.
Landlord was on kitchen police Sat
urday, and Corporal Nelson was also
on duty in the mess hall The corporal
took piece of bread and, after eating
part of 1t, threw the remainder away.
Landlord accused him of throwing it
into the wrong waste receptacle. In
each kitchen there are different recep-
tacles for the different kinds of food
wastes, fats being kept separate from
the other refuse from the tables.
Nelson denied that he had thrown
the bread in the wrong can, and an
argument started. Those who heard
it say things grew rather warm, and
fight was looked for. The men were
separated, however, and when taps
was sounded last night, and both of
the lads retired, the dispute was for
