that is impossible to answer and In fact
none Of the men are vitality interested In

Major Noble j. Wiley, commandant OF
the officers training school, declines to
discuss this part Of the program His
work is ended, he says, 80 FAR as the
men are COnCl 1ed.
II am rather glad it is over" he said,
because il means that 400 additional
officers are ready TO assume command OF
troops
Major Wiley is a regular army man of
twenty years experience and is warm in
his praise of the graduates.
They are a likely crowd" said the
commandant today, "and l am proud TO
