Enlisted Men 10
Get Chance or
Commissions

To meet the 1900 yearly OFFICER
requirements, the Army is for
mulating plans to open the doors
wide to enlisted men qualified
for commission, 1t. w. B. Stubs,
commanding offer Of the Pasco
Recruiting Station, revealed to-
day. Plans are afoot to imple-
ment the present procurement
system and make it possible for
600 qualified enlisted men to join
the commissioned ranks, nearly
300 more officers annually than
now graduate from the Military
academy.
"This step was most significant"
1t. Stubs said. "By its previous
job studies the army knows what
its jobs are and has now deter
mined enlisted grades for speci-
fled jobs. This plan, formulated
with the assistance of civilian ex-
perts in important personnel and
management jobs, will mean that
any qualified man can, by prov
ing his ability, work his way from
private to the top commissioned
ranks"
The 1900 officers sought each
year, beginning with this year,
will be divided among procure
ment sources about as follows:
From the Military Academy, $50;
from honor graduates of senior
ROTC, 600; from competitive
tours of Reserve officers, direct
commissioning of enlisted men,
and commissioning of disting-
uished graduates from Officer
Candidate schools direct from the
schools into the Regular Army IN
stead of the Reserve corps, 6OO.
Medical corps, chaplains and
Judge advocates will take $50.
Appointments to the Officer Cam
didate schools are made from
those enlisted men taking COM
petitive examinations.
This officer procurement plan,
Lit. Stubbs said, will round out
current non-commissioned and
Warrant officer procurement
plans whereby qualified men are
schooled and placed in specific
Jobs calling for specific rank and
can work toward regular War
rant Officer appointments.

Bread Rationing
Ends In Sweden

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 4. = (By
wireless)-The rationing of bread
in Sweden has been abolished aft
err being in force eight years. AL
though the news is welcomed all
over Sweden, the secretary of the
Swedish Bakers Association points
out that the end of rationing does
not, in effect, mean that more
bread will be available, at least
not for the present, with the pos
sible exception of molasses loaves,
which are very popular in Sweden.
He also stresses the fact that the
bakeries furthermore are quite de-
pendent upon their rations of SUI
gar and edible fats, none of which
will be increased.

Septemb Der Riksdag
Elections Brought
Out Record Vote

|, (Air mailed)-The voter turnout
in the elections on September 10
for members of the Riksdag's Sec
ond Chamber topped all previous
records in Sweden. More than so
per cent of the 100000 eligible
voters went to the polls, while II
per cent has been the average
during the last ten years. The
highest record hitherto was set in
1896 with 74.5 per cent. The in
crease has been very gradual up
to this year, when a sudden up
ward swing of ten per cent was
registered.
The increase in the number of
ballots cast is a result of a rising
political interest in the middle
and working classes. Official
election statistics prove that these
two categories, and especially the
last mentioned - the industrial
workers, the small tenant farm
ers, and the agricultural laborers
in previous years voted on the
average less than the more pros
perous people, who form a much
smaller group. Thus in the 1914
general elections, more than 85
per cent of the wealthy went to
the polls, while the corresponding
figure for the middle classes =
farmers, businessmen, and the ma
jority of white collar workers
was 1876 per cent and for the
workers 68.7 per cent. Prelimi-
nary 1913 figures show. that while
the turnout of the highest social
groups was IS per cent, the same
as at the last elections, 80 per cent
of the eligible voters of the two
lower categories participated,
thus proving that the difference
between the classes as to political
interest is now virtually elimi-
mated.
Of the more than 100000 new
voters this year, about 100000 are
estimated to belong to the work
ing class, and some 100000 to the
middle class, while hardly 10000
were of the highest income group.
Some commentators make a
point of the fact that, in spite Of
the exceptionally high turnout of
the workers, the percentage of the
ballots cast for the socialist par
ties, the Labor party and the Com
munists, decreased three per cent,
amounting now to some 81 per
cent of the total. Spokesman for
the Liberal party, which made
very substantial gains, estimate
that one third of the partys sup
port came from the workers.
Communists Lose One
More Seat
The final count of the votes is
not entirely completed for the
whole country. In a northwestern
constituency, however, the final
tabulation gave the Conservatives
one more seat, which was taken
from the Communists. AS a re-
suit, the margin between the So
cial-Democratic Labor party,
which is in power, and the non
socialist opposition has become
still smaller. AS the situation now
stands, the Labor party will send
112 representatives to the Riks-
