Several Hundred at the Pre
sidio Leave Camp in
Citizens' Clothes.
NONE, HOWEVER, FAILURE
Verdict of Fates Brings Tears of.
Disappointment to Many Eyes.
Long Mental and Physical
Strain Ended.
, THE PRESIDIO OF SAN FRAN
CISCO, CaL. Augr. . (Special) With
smiling- lips but eyes which could not
hide the bitter disappointment of being
among those culled, several hundred
students at the reserve officers' train
ing: camp, who failed to get commis
sions, bade good-bye to their fellow
students and chums. They looked
peculiarly out of place in civilian
clothes clothes wrinkled from three
months repose in trunks and worn
with an awkward, almost apologetlo
air. Sun-reddened faces somehow did
not fit in well with linen collars.
"I'm heading for the regular Army
see you in the trenches, old man. Good
luck," were the farewells of many.
With their three months of intensive
training, virtually all who have left
camp will find little difficulty in se
curing posts as non-commissioned offi
cers In the new Army indeed, many
have been recommended for and have
accepted tentative offers of such al
ready. Those who departed were not failures
In any sense of the word. If they were
they would not have lasted until the
end of camp. There simply were not
places for all who trained and It was
accepted as a matter of course that
many would be dropped this last
month. But all the young Americans
fervently hoped they would not be
among the number.
Task Moaumental Oae.
That the Judgment which said who
should go and who should not was In
fallible is contended by no one. The
Army officers In charge of the camp
had a monumental task before them
in the selection, in three months' time,
of men who were qualified or who
showed promise of becoming qualified
to officer the National Army. Some
there were who were told to go who
would better have remained than some
who stayed. In companies of from 150
to 200 men, in charge of two to three
officers. It was impossible In the short
period of training for the officers un
mistakably to pick the best. But it Is
conceded generally that they tried to,
conscientiously and to the utmost of
their ability.
In the majority of the companies, the
verdict of the Fates was read, or
posted on bulletin boards shortly be
fore 6 o'clock Friday morning, direct
ly after reveille and Just before break
fast. Some men could not hide tears
of disappointment which welled to
their eyes when their names were
found on the fateful list. Others smiled.
In a rather forced way, to be sure, and
Insisted that such was all they had
ever expected from the camp.
"For the love o' Pete, Jim, how did
you ever stay on when they let a good
man like me go?" Joked others.
Fortunate Ones Will Now Sleep.
The fortunate ones breathed heavy
with relief and promised themselves an
unworried night's sleep. They had
won, so It seemed, the chance they
sought, the chance to do their "bit"
In a responsible way in the new Army
of freedom.
Some fear that even yet they may
be told to "turn In their ordnance," be
fore the end of camp, next Saturday.
Such fears may or may not be well
founded, but seem likely to be based
on the refusal of some to accept the
possibility that their worries are over.
For two weeks past the students
have been on a mental and physical
strain that nearly ruined former even
dispositions. Dame Rumor was every
where and the gossip she spread was
always disheartening. One minute It
was insisted that no man under 25
years stood a chance for a commission,
the next that all would have to undergo
another mental and physical examina
tion and so things went until an unin
terrupted night's sleep became a rarity.
In addition to the usual setting-up ex
ercises In the morning, trots of from
one-quarter to one-half mile were
Inaugurated and the patrol work and
company practice marches became
longer.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 6. The comment
of the Berlin newspapers on the ap
pointments of imperial and Prussian
ministers takes the line that no great
advance has been made in the direction
of parliamentarians.
Hopeful SI ana Are Few.
The Tageblatt regards the changes
as unimportant for the development of
the empire. The Vosslsche Zeitung
says the new government is not likely
to give the impression of the parlia
mentary order. The Volks Zeitung
comments that the most favorable
thing that can be said about the de
velopment Is that there has been an
Infusion of fresh blood Into the bu
reaucracy. In a character sketch of Dr. Richard
von Kuehlmann (Just appointed Ger
man secretary for foreign affairs), the
Nleuwe Courant, of The Hague, says
that Dr. von Kuehlmann has always
been a vigorous opponent of ruthless
submarine warfare. He is also, says
the newspaper, a disciple of the policy
of doing everything possible to avoid
the further alienation of Great Britain,
believing that after the war friendship
between Great Britain and Germany is
necessary to the latter.
Dr. von Kuehlmann, the Nleuwe
Courant adds. Is an antl-annexatlonlst,
and the newspaper expresses the opin
ion that in the foreign secretaryship
he will do his utmost to bring about
an understanding with England at the
earliest possible time.

thousands of dollars in protested taxes

stances these taxes covered S3 per cent

and SO per cent would have been equit
able. On 41,000 acres In Clallam County,
having a value of $2,050,000, the 1913
levy was $50,049.59. whereas the com
pany claimed that, according to the
assessment system In vogue, the levy
should have been $30,000. This last
sum was paid Into the treasury. A de
mand was made for the remainder, but
the company brought suit to prevent
payment. This and subsequent , suits
covering levies for subsequent years
were thrown out of court. An appeal
was taken, "and the action of the lower
court in dismissing the cases affirmed.

Great damage to the sheep Industry
If the programme of prohibiting the
sale of lambs is adhered to, is foreseen
by the sheepmen of Umatilla County,
who have asked for a conference with
the Governor and hope he will appeal
to Herbert N. Hoover against the un
fairness of the proposal.
It is pointed out that the range lamb
matures in about five months, and that
there Is no object In holding it after
that time. Selected ewes produce more
and better lambs than young ones.
