All four of the mou picked as can didates for captain were (Spanish-American war veterans, and it is alleged that the schema was to elect one of them captain, one first lieutenant and ano second ucutenaut. When the ume came for the election Captain Woolpert stated that as he was not familiar with" parliamentary rules, he would call B. W. Macy, a Hpa'nish American war veteran, to preside Mr. Macy pulled from his pocket the slate which had boon fixed up and started the ball rolling. Men who were opposed to such tac tics begun to shout tlieir objections, and First Lieutenant Hall made a motion to lay the committee's report on the table. To tho surprise oj the little clique of Spanisk-Amerieaa war vctcmiw,, , m curried, hull then moved to have the lioiiiiiuitions made from the floor. This carried, and the slate was thoroughly smashed. . " The election which followed result ed in the selection of Arnold, a iSpanish Americnu war veteran, as captain; Clif ford lit own, a Tia Juana, as first lieu tenant, ami Morelock as second lieuten ant. Morelock received the support of tuoso who had broken the elate as they said they wanted to get him out ol Company 1), of which ho was top ser geant.

It was soon discovered that Wool pert, Morelock and Arnold were trans ferring from Company I) to Company I all the friendct of Second Lieutenant Wilson, who had fought their slates, lt appeared evident that they planned to remove all chance of Wilson being se lected as captain of Company 1. It will be remembered that Wilson was the only elected officer left in that com pany. lt was in connection with the election for this company that Rev. Mr. Burke made the speech in which he denounced the sort of politics which was being played in the guard. He then placed Wilson's name ia nomination for cap tain, and Wilson was elected by 49 out of 61 vote. Mr. Burke next nominated Fred E Mangis for first lieutenant and A. B. Poole for second lieutenant. Both were elected, and none of the three officers kmf Trailing Camps Are Competing By C. R. Blanchard (United Press Staff Correspondent) Great Lakes, 111., April fi.

Washington, April 6 President Wil son will add a fresh word of encour agement for Russia in his Baltimore speech .tonight was tho conviction in diplomatic quarters today. This view was derived in part from tho fact that the president has coun selled lateh- with Charles K. Crane of Chicago, who studied Russia at close range, and with tho white houso con fidential adviser, tVlonel House. Crane's views of Russia although not of Trotsky and Leuine are par ticularly sympathetic, and in accord with tlie chief executive's. Crane be lieves that despite tho chaos in the Slav nation there is a strong cnance to et the Russians ultimately to cast off the Teuton yoke.

I , . V?Ta ak from their present position before The Germans will have to be pushed safety of transportation on the Paris- Amiens main line can be assured.

There are other railway lines behind the direct Paris-Amiens route that can ior reasons or i rench morale that tho ans-Amiens road be cleared of tho German menace. This lino, which con nects Calais with Paris is the most fam ous in France and its severance by Von Hindenburg would undoubtedly cause much short sighten rejoicing in Germany.
