NEW OFFICERS'
CAMP OPENS AT
TACOMA, MAT 10
. CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, May 13 —
An officer one day, kitchen mechanic
the next. That is part of the training
given the men at the Officer Train
ing camp at Camp Lewis and its all
part of the day’s work for the new
officers in the national army are put
through a thorough course which
makes them familiar with every
phase of work among the men whom
they will be expected to command.
Most of the men have had extensive
training in the details of soldiery
from the enlisted men's viewpoint,
however, for they are drawm from the
ranks. Not much of the details of
the training of the officer is permit
ted to be published, but It is permis
sible to say that the embryo officer
has a very strenuous three months,
if he is fortunate to last through the
training period.
The third officers' training camp at
Camp Lewis was finished April 20
and the fourth camp will open about
May 16.
There aie interesting scenes about
the training camp. It looks very
much like the training battalions of
the depot brigade, except that in
stead of the leather leggings and gold
and black hat cords, the officer is
designated by a white band around
his left arm and all students are dis
tinguished from, the ordinary soldiers
by the red, white and blue hat cord.
The non-commissioned officers wear
a red arm band.
The officers are selected for a pe
riod of one week and the following
week they are assigned to the ranks,
again while another candidate be-j
comes commander. This is repeated
until every man has had his fling at]
being in command and a weeding out
process reduces the ranks from time [
to time until only the best fitted men
remain to be awarded commissions
whenever the government has need^
of their services in the capacity of
second-lieutenant.
Beyond this there is little that can
be said. The officers work hard, they
study hard and they play ball hard
They live very much as do the men
of the ranks and they may be officers
—and they may not.

BIRMINGHAM, England, May 13 —
When the call came in the early days
of the war for a greater supply of
high explosive, the government turned
to the chemical manufacturers of the
country to help them out of their dif
ficulty. In the Midlands not far from
Birmingham they found a firm which
was engaged in the manufacture of
chemicals on a fairly large scale. To
this firm was given a contract to erect
and operate a factory for the produc
tion of T. N. T. and from this factory
today the British army receives a large
part of its supply of the necessary high
explosive.
A day spent here shows what the
young scientist is doing for his coun
try, for in this factory at least all the
experts are young men, many of
whom before the war were dealing
with the simple things of life, never
dreaming that they were destined to
invent and produce a material which
was to make a shambles of every bat
tlefield in Europe and Asia.
