Over 1,700 Young Officers Re¬viewed by DistinguishedThrong at Fort Myer.

WITNESSED BY PRESIDENT

More than 1,700 young officers for the

greatest National Army ever gatheredoil this continent are today leaving the

training camp at Fort Myer, where, forthree months, they have learned byhard work in trench, on the drill fieldand rifle range and by study in barrack? how to spread these physical andmental lessons in efficiency to the first1,000,000 who are going forth to battlefor freedom."With the signatures scarcely dry

upon their commissions won in keen'competition for recognition, and whichthey received from the Secretary ofWar. they are going home to be fetedas men who hove brought honor totheir home towns and cities.While President Wilson, commander-

in-chief of th«- Army and Navy, noddedhis approval. Secretary Baker, the offi¬cial administrator of military affairs,stood up at the war graduation at theFort Myer camp yesterday and de¬clared th;^t when the United States,wedded to peace, is* forced to fight forit. her citizens show a wonderfulaptitude to develop into an efficientfighting force.

United States Message to World.This message to the world that the

United States is preparing system¬atically and confidently to he victorsin the greatest war in history was

flashed t<> every corner of the globe by(the great wireless towers at Arlington.which fairly towered over the paradegrounds where the patriotic exerciseswere held.

Seated with President Wilson andSecretary Baker, war chiefs of thenation, were other members of theicabinet.Secretaries Lansing, Daniels.Houston and Redfleld. There also wereth*e military and diplomatic representa¬tives of all the nation's making commoncause with the United States in thewar against Germany. There weremembers of the Supreme Court andtwo-thirds of the members of Congress,many of whom had relatives in theregiment of young officers. Champ(Mark, Speaker of the House o'Representatives, happy because his boyhad won a commission as captain, wasa spectator, and Maj. <Jen. Hugh U.Scott, hero of more military achieve¬ments than any United States officerliving, now chief of staff, prominentin the throng, looked carefully overthese young men gathered from civilanlife and proudly accepted them as

worthy to lead his regulars valorouslyin the fighting in Flandere.

50,000 People as Witnesses.As a background for the regimental

review, wherein platoon after platoonmarched briskly by with the precisionof veterans, their bayonets flashing inthe sunlight, were nearly 50,000 personsgathered from many states, who thrill¬ed with patriotic fervor as the wavesof olive-drab uniforms billowed by, the

identity of their sons, husbands or

friends lost in the organization trainedto move with common purpose.The traditions of the country, the

proud record in war of the nation'sheroes, a satisfaction that today thestates can send Into service able sonsof those worthy sires, spread throughthe great gathering during SecretaryBaker's address and as he called for¬ward the four men who had won therank of major, the highest commissionthat could be awarded irt the camp, andthe captains commanding the variouscompanies. These latter received thecommissions* for their commands.

List of the Majors.Among these was Maj. Lloyd C. Stark,

from the od Battery of Field Artillery,whose grandfather won renown at Bun¬ker Hill. There also was Maj. IsraelPutnam, whose family records for mili¬tary leadership trace back to the same

early date in American history. Therewas" Maj. Oliver P. Newman, presideiftof the board of District Commissioners,attesting to the fact that administra¬tive ability in civil life can find a readyplace for service in arms when thenation feels it must go to war. There

also was Maj. Granville Forteseue.cousin of Col. Theodore Roosevelt.aformer Rough Rider and ex-cavalry of¬ficer in the United States Army, who hasseen much of the fighting in Kurope.The officers commanding the. three

battalions, which w^re thrown in a hol¬low square facing the grandstand, were

Maj. Richard Stockton, commandant of

the Bordentown, N. .1.. Military Acad-emv, who is a gold medalist of theMilitary Service Institution and wears

the cross of honor for valor; Maj. For-tescue. and Maj. Orlo C. Whitaker. com¬

mandant of the New York MilitaryAcademy, at Cornwall-on-the-Hudson.

Captains Commissioned.The captains of the nine companies

of infantry, troop of cavalry and threebatteries of field artillery, who were

called forward to receive from Secre¬tary Baker the commissions for theircompanies, were:First troop of cavalry, Capt. "W alter

B. Howe of Washington: first battery1of field artillery. «'apt. Norborne Berk«--lev. Danville. Va.; second battery. Capt..1 Howard Eager. Baltimore; third bat-Jtery. Capt. Francis T Tweddell. Sum-.1. K. Powell. Metuchen. N. J.: sec-:

Mor-gan. 2d New Jersey Infantry.The regime.ntal review was conducted

under orders from Maj. E. G. Peyton,instructor of cavalry.

Col. Fenton Explains Training.After prayer had been made by Rev.

Forrest J. Prettyman, chaplain of theU. S. Senate, Lieut. Col. Charles W.Fenton, commandant of the camp,spoke briefly, telling the reasons forgiving the young men the sort of train¬ing they have received. He said thisas a message to the. young men whoare going into the second series oftraining camps;"The object of the training is to make

men tit to do well in war. The train-ing of a soldier, although thorough andexacting, is simple in accordance withhis character and mission."He emphasized the importance, of

physical training, through gymnasticexercises, marches and drills. He toldhow mental activity and concentrationare stimulated and intensified. lYobablyhis most important explanation came

when he defined the technical qualifi-cations for an officer;"He must see to the administration

land discipline of his command and beprepared to lead it against the enemy.For these tasks he must know admin-istration, Jaw and tactics. Familiar-ity with regulations on administrationwill enable him to control and care, forhis command; while knowledge of thelaw is necessary for enforcement ofdiscipline. The foundations of disci-pline. however, are obedience, mutualconfidence. loyalty, patriotism andesprit de corps."

In welcoming the yountf officers tothe military service he said:

"I congratulate you that you are to

fight under the Stars and Stripes. Uponour national -arms the American eagleis represented as holding in one talonthe olive branch of peace and in the(other the shafts of war. He leaves itto his adversaries which to choose."Gentlemen, you will enjoy the dis¬

tinction of being soldiers in war. Soonyou will join our brave allies, who bytheir wonderful fidelity and matchlessgullantry have won the gratitude ofall the civilized world. And when'American soldiers stand side by sidewith the proudest warriors of the oldworld, somewhere abroad. I feel assuredthat they can be trusted to deal withthe enemies of the United States."

Commissions a Trust.Secretary Baker in addressing the

young officers emphasized that theyare given their commissions as a trust,as officers in a democratic army. Hesaid in part:

"I congratulate Col. Fenton and hisassociates in charge of this splendid(enterprise and extend my congratula¬tions beyond them to the small butgreat, army of which they are worthyrepresentatives. For a long time ithas been such an army as a nationwedded to peace might huv^- men of thehighest ability and training but smallin numbers. But this camp has provedwhat those in charge of military affairshave long felt, that when the occasionarose the quality of that Army wassuch that it could expand itself. It isgratifying to us to see this visibleevidence that in such an incrediblyshort space of time you have learnedlo march, act and feel like veterans."In all the training camps scattered

throughout the country." he said, "thesame story is told.young men in largenumbers have been received, for themost part. without previous militaryservice and in an incredibly short spaceof time have been made to march andfeel and act like veterans. Thus ourRegular Army has shown its vitality byits capacity for rapid absorption and ex-pansion.

"I shall not, of course, discuss thecauses of this war: that issue has beensettled for the people of the UnitedStates and our country has gone intothis war riot tossing its cap into the air,but with the normal law written on itsheart and stimulating and encouragingits every energy.

"I want you always to remember thatyou are officers of a democratic Army,that discipline with us at least is notdevised for the greation of pleasantemotions in a man who gives an orderand humiliation in a man who receivesit. but for the purpose of executing thecommon will, preserving the commonright, and that in the giving of an order

SECRETARY BAKER GIVING OUT THE DIPLOMAS.

you are the trustees of the commonvoice to execute the common will andpreserve the common safety.

Men in Ranks Are Citizens."Therefore, your duty as officers is to

remember that the men in the ranks,like yourselves, are citizens and mem¬bers of a free people, that all the obedi¬ence and discipline necessary to effectthe common purpose is appropriate andproper, and yet that the human relationsin an army of free people are impor¬tant and that the welfare, the happiness,the surroundings and the life of everyman intrusted to you to command is a.

part of the wealth of this nation intrust¬ed to you to use most carefully and to re¬turn with the utmost safety you can"The progress that the nation is

making- in the organization of itsforces is an astonishing progress tothose who doubted the vitality ofdemocracy as a form of government.We are in the business of making, inthe phrase of the President, 'the worldsafe for democracy.' but we are alsoin the business of showing to theworld, what we for a long time haveknown, that democracy is safe for theworld."

Glee Club Gives Thrill.One of the features of the celebration

that thrilled the thousands of specta¬tors was when the entire 5th TrainingRegiment burst into song under theleadership of Capt. Thomas W*. Reillyof Newark. N. J., who directed a gleeclub. singing through megaphones,lined up in fronr of the President'sstand. The words of "Over There,"sung lustily by more than 1.700 youngofficers who soon expect to he "overthere." started the big gathering wav¬ing and cheering.The glee club was composed of: R. L.

Shoemaker of Chevy Chase. O. T. Rid¬dle of Wilmington. J. K. Powell. Metu-chen. X. J I >. D. Hand, Key port, N. J.;H. de R. Demarest, Tenafly. X. J.; D. a!Barry, jr.. Hackensack, X. J.; L.
