ing disciplinary relationship between
officers and men of the army, was
expressed by a representative group
of the selective service men of the

benefited by his army life, 10 per
cent were glad of their training aside
from feelings Of patriotism and 50
per cent favored universal military
training as a national policy.

dred persons in the grand ballroom of
the Commodore hotel last night at

a prominent place back of the speak
ers table.
The ballroom was all in green
green electric lights, green shades,
long tapes of green extending over the
heads of the diners. AT one end of
the room was the symbol of the so
ciety, the figure of ST. Patrick, bear
ing a cross with the legend: "F'riend-
, y
site was the harp of Erin, and under
meath it the inscription: "Cead Mile
Failte,' which translated means, "a
thousand Welcomes"
Above the dais were four clusters Of
flags. They were entwined together,
and two were the flags of the United
States. Its companions were the
ancient green flag Of Ireland, and with
he SIyT1-
Dol of the Irish republic.

ANS-CAUCASIA STARVING.
Food at Baku and Batoum, But the
Railroads Cannot Carry Tt.

Washington, March 18.-Conditions
in the Trains Caucasia region of Rus
STA are becoming ''frightful," owing to
the lack of food, according to naval
radio advices received by the State
department from Tif1is.
AT Erivan,'' said an official sum-
mary issuedkby the department based
on this dispatch, lit is reported that
$4,000 are without bread, and there
is not even a dog, cat, horse, camel
or any living thing in all of the region
about Igdir. Refugee women are seen
stripping flesh from dead horses with
bare hands, and the deaths from
starvation are rising daily.
There is food at Baku and Batoum
to feed the people for some time, but
the railroads have not the facilities
to transport all the necessities. Snow
has been the chief obstacle the rail-
roads have had to contend with, al
though the lack of a staff to attend
to the relief of the people is crying
necessity"
