DELEGATEDTOLEAD IN NATIONAL ARMY Over 1,700 Young Officers Re¬ viewed by Distinguished Throng at Fort Myer. WITNESSED BY PRESIDENT More than 1,700 young officers for the greatest National Army ever gathered oil this continent are today leaving the training camp at Fort Myer, where, for three months, they have learned by hard work in trench, on the drill field and rifle range and by study in bar rack? how to spread these physical and mental lessons in efficiency to the first 1,000,000 who are going forth to battle for freedom. "With the signatures scarcely dry upon their commissions won in keen 'competition for recognition, and which they received from the Secretary of War. they are going home to be feted as men who hove brought honor to their home towns and cities. While President Wilson, commander- in-chief of th«- Army and Navy, nodded his approval. Secretary Baker, the offi¬ cial administrator of military affairs, stood up at the war graduation at the Fort Myer camp yesterday and de¬ clared th;^t when the United States, wedded to peace, is* forced to fight for it. her citizens show a wonderful aptitude to develop into an efficient fighting force. United States Message to World. This message to the world that the United States is preparing system¬ atically and confidently to he victors in 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 parade grounds where the patriotic exercises were held. Seated with President Wilson and Secretary Baker, war chiefs of the nation, were other members of the icabinet.Secretaries Lansing, Daniels. Houston and Redfleld. There also were th*e military and diplomatic representa¬ tives of all the nation's making common cause with the United States in the war against Germany. There were members of the Supreme Court and two-thirds of the members of Congress, many of whom had relatives in the regiment of young officers. Champ (Mark, Speaker of the House o' Representatives, happy because his boy had won a commission as captain, was a spectator, and Maj. <Jen. Hugh U. Scott, hero of more military achieve¬ ments than any United States officer living, now chief of staff, prominent in the throng, looked carefully over these young men gathered from civilan life and proudly accepted them as worthy to lead his regulars valorously in the fighting in Flandere. 50,000 People as Witnesses. As a background for the regimental review, wherein platoon after platoon marched briskly by with the precision of veterans, their bayonets flashing in the sunlight, were nearly 50,000 persons gathered from many states, who thrill¬ ed with patriotic fervor as the waves of olive-drab uniforms billowed by, the Charge Accounts What Is Beneath the Finish?

The traditions of the country, the proud record in war of the nation's heroes, a satisfaction that today the states can send Into service able sons of those worthy sires, spread through the great gathering during Secretary Baker's address and as he called for¬ ward the four men who had won the rank of major, the highest commission that could be awarded irt the camp, and the captains commanding the various companies. These latter received the commissions* 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. Israel Putnam, whose family records for mili¬ tary leadership trace back to the same early date in American history. There was" Maj. Oliver P. Newman, presideift of the board of District Commissioners, attesting to the fact that administra¬ tive ability in civil life can find a ready place for service in arms when the nation feels it must go to war. There also was Maj. Granville Forteseue. cousin of Col. Theodore Roosevelt.a former Rough Rider and ex-cavalry of¬ ficer in the United States Army, who has seen 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..

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. Pretty man, chaplain of the U. S. Senate, Lieut. Col. Charles W. Fenton, commandant of the camp, spoke briefly, telling the reasons for giving the young men the sort of train¬ ing they have received. He said this as a message to the. young men who are going into the second series of training camps; "The object of the training is to make men tit to do well in war. The train- ing of a soldier, although thorough and exacting, is simple in accordance with his character and mission." He emphasized the importance, of physical training, through gymnastic exercises, marches and drills. He told how mental activity and concentration are stimulated and intensified. lYobably his 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 be prepared to lead it against the enemy. For these tasks he must know admin- istration, Jaw and tactics. Familiar- ity with regulations on administration will enable him to control and care, for his command; while knowledge of the law is necessary for enforcement of discipline. The foundations of disci- pline. however, are obedience, mutual confidence. loyalty, patriotism and esprit de corps." In welcoming the yountf officers to the military service he said: "I congratulate you that you are to fight under the Stars and Stripes. Upon our national -arms the American eagle is represented as holding in one talon the olive branch of peace and in the (other the shafts of war. He leaves it to his adversaries which to choose. "Gentlemen, you will enjoy the dis¬ tinction of being soldiers in war. Soon you will join our brave allies, who by their wonderful fidelity and matchless gullantry have won the gratitude of all the civilized world. And when 'American soldiers stand side by side with the proudest warriors of the old world, somewhere abroad. I feel assured that they can be trusted to deal with the enemies of the United States." Commissions a Trust. Secretary Baker in addressing the young officers emphasized that they are given their commissions as a trust, as officers in a democratic army. He said in part: "I congratulate Col. Fenton and his associates in charge of this splendid (enterprise and extend my congratula¬ tions beyond them to the small but great, army of which they are worthy representatives. For a long time it has been such an army as a nation wedded to peace might huv^- men of the highest ability and training but small in numbers. But this camp has proved what those in charge of military affairs have long felt, that when the occasion arose the quality of that Army was such that it could expand itself. It is gratifying to us to see this visible evidence that in such an incredibly short space of time you have learned lo march, act and feel like veterans. "In all the training camps scattered throughout the country." he said, "the same story is told.young men in large numbers have been received, for the most part. without previous military service and in an incredibly short space of time have been made to march and feel and act like veterans. Thus our Regular Army has shown its vitality by its capacity for rapid absorption and ex- pansion. "I shall not, of course, discuss the causes of this war: that issue has been settled for the people of the United States and our country has gone into this war riot tossing its cap into the air, but with the normal law written on its heart and stimulating and encouraging its every energy. "I want you always to remember that you are officers of a democratic Army, that discipline with us at least is not devised for the greation of pleasant emotions in a man who gives an order and humiliation in a man who receives it. but for the purpose of executing the common will, preserving the common right, and that in the giving of an order SECRETARY BAKER GIVING OUT THE DIPLOMAS. you are the trustees of the common voice to execute the common will and preserve 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 effect the common purpose is appropriate and proper, and yet that the human relations in an army of free people are impor¬ tant and that the welfare, the happiness, the surroundings and the life of every man 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 its forces is an astonishing progress to those who doubted the vitality of democracy as a form of government. We are in the business of making, in the phrase of the President, 'the world safe for democracy.' but we are also in the business of showing to the world, what we for a long time have known, that democracy is safe for the world." Glee Club Gives Thrill. One of the features of the celebration that thrilled the thousands of specta¬ tors was when the entire 5th Training Regiment burst into song under the leadership of Capt. Thomas W*. Reilly of Newark. N. J., who directed a glee club. singing through megaphones, lined up in fronr of the President's stand. The words of "Over There," sung lustily by more than 1.700 young officers who soon expect to he "over there." 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. If. Bayly, Washington: I,. K. Ash ford! {Washington: J. K. Kwell. Norfolk; X. R. A near row, Richmond; Harry K Adams. Washington; T>. .\. Smith, Bal¬ timore, and G. H. Ferguson, Newark. After a benediction had been solemn- ly pronounced over the young officers I by Chaplain Prettyman. and President j Wilson and Secretary Raker had held an imnromptu reception in the stand. the 2d Troop of regular cavalry' stationed at the Fort Myer post, dashed up and faced the stand. It was a pretty feat of horsemanship. They acted as an escort of honor to the President. The thousands of visitors spent sev¬ eral lrfmrs with friends inspecting the training camp school.

GOING TO PETERSBURG. , - Most of Young Officers From Fort Myer School Assigned There. Mo£t of the young officers commissioned at Fort Myer training camp yesterday have been notified that they will be called into service at the contonment in Peters¬ burg, Va. for the National Army. According to present plans, this will place t'/em as instructors for the District men who are drafted. Those who belonged to what was known as Koehler's "strong arm squad," organ¬ ized by the physical culture expert from West Point, and who have been in charge of the physical culture exercises and bayo¬ net drills at the camp, will probably be distributed among the cantonments' in the south and west to organize similar "strong arm squads." This was indicated when each of the young: men who have been en¬ gaged in this work was asked if he would care to accept such an assignment. DIPLOMATS TO WITNESS BENNY LEONARD'S BOUT Men in High Station Invited to Ex¬ hibition Scheduled by Light¬ weight Pugilist. Diplomats, statesmen. high officials of the United States and representa¬ tives of foreign nations will be given ring-side seats around the twenty-foot square platform on which an eighteen- foot ring will be provided for Benny Leonard, champion lightweight pugilist of the world, who will give an exhibi¬ tion bout on the Monument grounds Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The champion boxer will probably appear in his exhibition match with Willie Jackson, his favorite sparring partner, and possibly also his brother, Charlie Leonard, a pugilist of no mean ability. 'I he athlete has volunteered his services, and will receive no re¬ muneration of any sort. All Washington is invited, soldiers, sailors, marines and civilians. This is the first time that any boxing exhibi¬ tion has ever been staged in Washing- ton. Leonard is in tiptop condition, (and is fresh from his recent victory from Kilbane, which netted him a purse of $12,000. Maj. Pullman, superintendent of po- 1'ce, last night gave his official sanc¬ tion to the affair, stating that in com¬ pliance with the law Leonard must re¬ ceive no remuneration of any sort for his performance. Maj. Pullman is ex¬ pected to be on hand to witness the af¬ fair. The District war service commission, which has charge of the bout, has an¬ nounced that only a few seats will be provided, and that an attempt will be made to stage the affair in such a way that all w ho stand may see. An expert announcer, who is accustomed to talk¬ ing in the open air to large crowds, will call off the program. TODAY'S ENLISTMENTS. A rmjr. Charles Osburn, 1611 Corcoran street northwest.

DELEGATEDTOLEADIN NATIONAL ARMY
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

PRESIDENT WILSON AND OTHER HIGH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALSCONGRATULATE STUDENT OFFICERS WHO RECEIVE COMMISSIONS
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-:
ond company infantry. Capt WalkerH. Adams. Lynchburg. Va.; third com¬
pany. Capt. A. Romelyn Pierson,Glen Ridge, N. J.: fourth company.,Capt. H. 11. Burdick. New York city.fifth companv. Capt. Turner II. Wilt¬shire. Baltimore; sixth company. Capt.Sterling M. Heffin. Leesburg, Va.; sev-jenth company, Capt. George A. Lyon.Boston. Mass eighth company. Capt.Robert J. Williams. Washington; andninth company. Capt. Sterley M. 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.
