MILITARY TRAINING
URGED ON STUDENTS
Secretary Baker Advises Them to
Study Through Reserve
Officers Corps.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

State College, Pa, ep.15.- An appeal
TO college students Of the nation to enter
into advanced military training and
study through the reserve officers train
ing corps at the various colleges and uni
veisites was voiced by Secretary Baker
in an address here today. He declared
that as the list of reserve officers increased
annually, one of the great military prob
lens of the United States would be solved.
"We are seeking to encourage a mill
tary spirit" said the secretary, "but TO
give great body of young men basis
upon which we IAN build capacity for
Command and leadership, should ma
tional emergency require their service.
The men who constitute this safeguarding
force will be pressing ON in their various
business activities, virile, vigorous and
strengthened by the discipline and ex-
perience which their training will have
added to their education"
Secretary Baker declared that the
greatest problem before the war Depart
ment during the World War was to
obtain adequately trained men to fill the
commissioned ranks in the lower grades
and that the reserve officers plan was
designed to meet n similar situation In
case of future emergency.
h. Il
stcadily during the past three years,
the speaker said At the close Of the
1920 academic year there were 20S senior
units having An enrolment of 43,59S
students and l26 junior units with 44,777
students More than 400 army officers
were engaged in training these students.
THE project has increased in favor
with both students and educational au-
thorities,' said the secretary. " A high
standard of student esprit and morale
has developed in many institutions and
some desire a special course In military
training. The results obtained have gwen
ample reason for the belief that the
system is fundamentally sound. With
proper government support it is evident
that there viii be continued progress,
greater enrichment Of courses offered
q higher degree of training and broader,
fulfillment Of the needs of the national
defense in the next five years
The secretary said that 5000 probably
would be the maximum number of re-
serve officers which the r. o. I. {.
could be expected to provide annually,
assuming the average usefulness of those
receiving reserve commissions would con-
tinuc ten years, lie said it was evident
that this rate Of production must be
maintained. So for the number commits
stoned has not even approached the
estimate. II is expected about 3C) will
be commissioned this year.
Secretary Baker pointed out that mill
tary training at co-educational irstitu-
tions was having the effect of familiar
izing the future leaders of women with the
benefits Of military training.

cry and other equipment for the war on

the ultimate cost might be over $500, 900
r. J. Hcadlce, entomologist for New
Jersey, assured DR.. Marlatt his State
would meet the emergency and begin at
once fight OF eradication. He said he
talked with Mr.. Duke Wednesday and
found him ready to cooperate, but he
refused IN say 10 what extent He would
be able TO get 5000 from the State
and would ask the Governor for il at
once.
Owe prorse to carry out our end of this
matter said Mr.. Hcadlc. by agree
ment the nurserymen in the infected
district have an arrangement not To ship
anything TO the outside world that has
not been carefully Inspected"
DR.. Marlstt asked If any trees or
shrubs were being sent from the Duke
estate.
Nothing except a few roses" said
George X Atwood, head of the Bureau
Of Planting Industry of the Department
Of Agriculture Of New York, told of an
outbreak on a large private estate in
Westchester County. He said it cost $3.50
0O0 to eradicate the moth there.
DIR. Marlatt warned the New Jersey
officials that if rigid measures 10 des-
troy the insect were not taken within
a short time, he will recommend Federal
quarantine TO prohibit the shipping ~
any sort Of plant that might prove hest
TO the gypsy moth.
The gypsy moth feature of the con-
ference at the Department Of Agriculture
today was incidental The real purpse
of the meeting was 10 consider the ad-
visibility Of quarantininp New Jersey

TO COST S50O,OOO TO
RID JERSEY OF MOTHS
Tobacco Man Imported Them in
Blue Spruce Pines, and They
Spread.

Washington, Sept. 14.--An importa.
ton of gypsy moths To the estate Of James
B. Duke, the tobacco millionaire, in Somer-
set County, N. j., several years ago in
blue spruce pines, promiscs TO cost the
State and Federal Governments $500, 900.
DIR. 6. l.. Marlatt, Assistant Chief
Of the Bureau OF Entomology q the
Department OF Agriculture, said to-
day that Mr. Duke should contribute
heavily to q fund TO help clean out the
insects. This is Just the beginning Of the
cost, for nurserymcn in large infected
area in New Jersey will not be permitted
to ship their products out of restricted
territory while the moth exists there.
There is an interesting story behind
the Duke estate infection. Ten or more
years ago, when the blue spruce began 70
be the rage, the former head Of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company cornercd some
nursery stock abroad and set out thirty
acres in tiny trees, worth at that time 81
a foot.
IL was Mr.. Dukes intention to sup
ply the demands of the American trade
at an advanced price and make neat
sum on the transaction, but nurserymen
refused to give his price. The little trees
have become large ones and the gypsy
moths brought over with them are
gradually spreading through the forest
and to the country round about.
These facts were brought out before
DR.. Marlatt today. A. r. Burgess, who
has directed the fight against the gypsy
moth in the New England States for the
Department Of Agriculture, said that
an area of 100 square miles was affected
in New Jersey, but the centre Of it was on
the Duke farm, which covers 1900
acres.
1t was asserted by Mr. Burgess that

eral Constitution was ratified by both
branches Yesterday The vote In the House

The action of the Legislature came
quickly, after Governor Holcomb had
appeared Unexpectedly before the legls-
lators and urged that another special
session he held, commencing September

Leaders of both houses opposed the
Governors proposal, arguing that action
on the amendment could be taken at the

tate voting by women.

validity of Tennessee's ratification OF

diatcly. A resolution was drawn up, rush.
ed through the House and sent to the Sc
ate, which in half an hour reported its
