mel was perhaps most prominent in
the grades of the commissioned Off
GERS, because the Reserve Corps at
the time of the entrance of this
country into the war had not ade-
quate training. The war demon
strated that body of citizens could
be taken and trained so as to func-
ton with some efficiency in from six
months to year. but only in excep-
tional circumstances could an officer
be trained in the same time. 1t is to
supply this want that the ROTC was
organized.
At Fort Sheridan, this summer,
both camps are being held and the
students are arranged into three
cOmpanies-twoo of these are taking
the advanced course. 1t had been
hoped that all the students taking
the basic course, whether in Senior
units or in high schools and other
smaller schools of the country, might
be permitted to attend the camp this
year, but appropriations, or rather
the lack of them, made such course
impossible, so that the Fort Sheri-
,, dan camp consists only of members
of the Senior units.

Providence, r. l., Dune 16.-Secre-

a gathering of his fellow alumni Of

ence should be frittered away "by re-

"that we cannot escape our relation to

He said the prosperity of this coun-
try largely depended upon the eco
nomic settlements which might be
made in Europe and that the key to
the future was with those who make
and control these settlements.
America, the exemplar of free insti-
tutions, aiding humanity in their pres
ervation, he said, called forth the
supreme endeavor in the World war.

of mutual trust. of fellowship, have
not dried up.
"Our men did not go forth to fight
for this nation as one Of imperialistic
designs and cunning purpose, or to
protect land where service might
find its surest reward. They offered
their lives and all the energies of the
country were harnessed in the supreme
effort, because we loved the institu-
tons Of liberty and intended to main
tain them, because we hated tyranny
and the brutality and ruthlessness
which found expression in the worship
Of force and because we found our fate
linked with that of the free peoples
who were struggling for the preserva-

Summer Military Training
Camps.

Starting in earnest on Monday,
June 26th, the Reserve Officers Train
ing Corps of the Sixth Corps Area,
initiated the third annual six week S
summer camp for the further in
struction of those students who have,
during the year been studying Mill
tary Science and Tactics in the var
lous colleges of Illinois, Wisconsin,
and Michigan. For various reasons,
the number in attendance at the
camps this year has been held to a
minimum, but the quality of the in
struction will be of the highest and
it is thought that the students who
attend this years camp at Fort Sher-
idan will benefit more by 1t than has
been the case in any previous camp.
Col. w. D. Chitty, who is the Corps
Officer, will command the camp this
summer and he will be assisted by
nearly thirty other officers drawn
from the schools and colleges of this
district and also from the Infantry
School at Camp Benning, Georgia.
The object of the Government in
establishing the Reserve Officers

WASHINGTON To
ENFORCE DRY LAW
New Plan Will Make Act Effec-
tive, Say Officials.
ACT THROUGH STATE AGENTS
To Cut Out All Red Tape and Create
Separate Units in Each State
Scheme Is Approved by
Senator Penrose.

Washington, June 18.-Creation of
a separate and distinct prohibition en-
forcement unit in each state with
state director at it's head forms the
basis of the reorganization of the
prohibition enforcement organization
worked out by Commissioner Blair Of
the internal revenue bureau, and Pro
hibition Commissioner Haynes.
The present administrative dis
tricts, comprising several states, will
be abolished.
The plan was laid before Chairman
Penrose and Senator Watson of the
senate finance committee, who ap-
proved it and it will be put into force
soon.
Coordination Of the administrative
work is the aim, it was explained.
According to estimates submitted to
Senators Penrose and Watson, $780,
OOO would be saved Immediately on
the reorganization plan.
AboIishes Red Tape.
Senators to whom the plan was SUBJ
mitted said the reorganization would
tighten up enforcement by centraliz-
ing authority and abolishing red tape.
An innovation would be the establish
ment of "a mobile force of specially
qualified agents." to operate under the
immediate direction of Director
Haynes, but the whole plan, it was
explained, is contingent upon reten-
ton by the treasury Of jurisdiction
over prohibition.
Major Haynes report said it had
been ''clearly demonstrated, after a
thorough trial that the present plan
Of organization of the prohibition
field force should be abandoned"
The reorganization plan, he de-
ity, coordinate the handling of per-
mits and enforcement work and "elim-
mate friction, uncertainty and cOnfu-
sion" now existing. Greater flexibil-
ity in field operations also would be
possible and many salaries also would
be saved, he said.
To Help State Agents.
Major Haynes said the function of
the mobile field force would be to in
vestigate interstate violations and
furnish effective e-enforcements" to
state agents confronted with I'M
usually extensive or fragrant viola
TONS"
"The existence of such a force" he
added, "operating independently of the
directors. would have a wholesome eff
directors forces and would provide a
means for coping Immediately with
any emergency"
