TRENCH AND CAMP

[Heading across column 1 & 2]

Announce Eligibles For
Fourth Officers' Camps

[Column 1]
The adjutant general has rceived
from Major General J. McI. Carter,
chief of the militia bureau, a memor-
andum relative to conditions under
which candidates for appointment as
officers in the army may enter the
fourth series of training camps, be-
ginning May 15.

Two classes are provided for--- en-
listed men in Federal service less
than forty years old, and certain men
less than thirty-two years old who
have attended military schools under
traning by a United States officer.
Both classes must be over twenty
years and nine months old on May
15.

No special provision is made for
members of ex-members of the Na-
tional guard not in Federal service;
in order to attend, they must qualitfy
in one of the two classes mentioned
above. Except for certain men with
military school training, they must all
enlist for the period of the war.

Not over half the students attending
will be listed at the end of the camp
as available for appointment as sec-
ond lieutenants as vacancies occur,
declares General Carter's letter ac-
companying the memorandum. Those
who fail to qualify in the upper half
must serve out their enlistment.

Relative to the selection of enlisted
men for the training camps, the let-
ter from General Carter makes the
following statement:
"As selectioand designation of
enlisted men for officers training
camps manifestly can be made only
after they have been under observa-
tion by their commanders for two or
three months, those who enlist now
for appointment must understand that
they cannot make the camp beginning
May 15, but must look forward to
winning appointment for a subse-
quent camp, or by selection for ap-
pointment as second lieutenant for
manifest ability and qualities of lead-
present an open door for appointment
and is the only means for promotion
to grades aboce second lieutenant.

The time is very short, states the
letter. Those wishin to attend one
of these camps must act at once. The
distribution of students to camps will
be made by the adjutant general's
office; personal preferences cannot
be consulted.

"Note that applications of enlisted
men must be made to their immed-
ate commanders and of military
school men through their respective
schools--- none should be sent to this
or any orther bureau of the war de-
partment.

[Torn] memorandum of information
shows that the Foruth officers Train-
ing Schools, will be open from May
5 to September 1, 1918, and will be
conducted with the object of training
selected enlisted men of the army of
the United States and such others as
are designated in the circular, in
order that they may be qualified to
become eligible for appointment to
the grade of second lieutenant to fill
vacancies as may hereafter occur.

The following are to be admitted:

institutions which have earned gov-
ernment recongistion through main-
taining a course of military instruc-
tion under supervison of an of- [Continues at top of column 3]

"THE VOLUNTEER."

He is predominant in this war of
Democracy and of Christian ideas and
culture. He may only be a country
rube or a city dude in the eyes of the
world before this war. But when the
call came from out Uncle Sam (to go
on to Berlin boys) there was no yel-
low streak in him; the blood that
swelled his veins was the same that
caused Patrick Henry to exclaim:
"Give me Liberty or Give me Death!"
Or was it among those who stood like
a stone wall with Jackson in '61.

"Water will seek a level and blood
will tell." The boys that volunteered
in this war are the descendents of men
who died with their boots on fighting
the wrong, unholding the right, which
has made America the Nation among
Nations and the dear old Red, White
and Blue to stand for all that it means
to a true American, and also to the
world at large.

No damned invading Huns heel
shall ever rest on our soil or in the
lands of our brothers as long as one
of us remains.
