WASHINGTON, April 30.—Ten
thousand or more student officers who
today have completed their courses
of training at National army canton
ments and National Guard camps will
not be graduated and given commis
sions, but will be placed on an eligibil
ity list, from which, in order of their
ratings, they will be commissioned
; and called to service as the army
J needs them.
The men are exclusively non-com
missioned officers and privates of the
National army, National guard, and
regular army, or students from col
leges having military courses in the
curriculum.
Until called to duty as officers these
men will wear white brassards on
their arms as an insignia of their
status. They will be called to the
service in small groups. Consequently
it is impossible to present today any
list of “graduates,” as was done when
the two previous series of camps
closed.
Any man who has remained in the
camps until today is assured of a
place on the eligible list.
Late reports to the war department
bear out the estimate that 60 per cent
of the men admitted will complete
the course.
Elimination of unfit students has
been proceeding practically since the
opening of the camps. Physical ex
aminations of those who passed all
other tests began on April 9.
In each division school, students
drawn from the division organization
will be placed in "eligible list for in
fantry,” or “eligible list for field ar
tillery, according to a war depart
ment memorandum. Students from
other sources will be placed on sep
arate lists for the same arms. It is
the purpose of the war department
to return the new officers, so far as
is practicable, to the units from which
they were taken.

AIX-LES-BAINS, April 30—Before
thq birth of Christ Roman soldiers pa
raded the narrow streets of Aix-les
Bajas, and the toga was a familiar
sight draped about the soldiers and
officers of the army of Julius Caesar.
J)day the soldiers of the United
es are doing what the Romans
2,000 years ago, and the olive drab
is ps familiar on the streets as was
the Roman toga.
Aix-les-Bains is an officially-desig
n a tied rest center for American troops
on leave.
The high command of the Roman
expeditionary force selected the town
on : account of its beauty, medicinal
springs, Lake Bourget and the won
derful, refreshing mountain air. Lo
cal inhabitants believe this was the
very reason that the high command
of the American expeditionary force
picked Aix.
Long before American “permission
airfs” began to arrive the local mer
chants held a meeting and decided to
do the right thing by the Sammies.
A |cale of prices for everything sal
able was fixed, and when the Sammy
goes into a store he knows exactly
whit he will have to pay before he
ordlers.

ONE FRENCH CONNER
DEFEATS HON 0-BOUT
PARIS, April 30.—Heroism of
French sailors, of which so little has
been learned during the war, is told
with the official story of the French
sailing patrol boat Goeland II.
During one of the blackest nights
of January the Goeland II suddenly
found herself under the point blank
fire of the two guns of a German sub
marine. Despite the fact that the
ship was ’torn open beyond repair,
the crew rushed to their single gun
and went into action. Two gunners
were killed before a shot was fired
from the ship; a third calmly worked
the gun alone, and his second shell
put the submarine’s rear gun out of
action. The U-boat then submerged
and gave up the fight.
The Goeland II sank, and with her
the captain. The second mate,
gravely wounded,'directed the'remain
ing men of the crew into the boats,
which were floating where the ship
disappeared.
The minister of marine has en
dowed the brave second mate and the
third gunner with the military medal
and cited the deed to the Order of
the Army.
There's going to be a riot when Mrs.
Kerr gives you her new song hit, right
from the Outside, "We’re Going to
Hang the Kaiser.” The entire min
strel company assists Mrs. Kerr in the
chorus of this big number. Be sur*.
and come to the Empress on the 30th.
