1. tlEOTEMS NEEDED
Promotional Scheme Outlined at Headquarters
Which Paves Way for
Rapid Advancement of Men
From the Ranks.
With the American Army in France.
?Apparently the humble doughboy is
coming into his own in this war. A
promotion scheme has just been outlined
at headquarters in conformity
with a recent general order from
Washington which Daves the wav for
[rapid advancement for men from the
ranks who display abjlity for higher
commands.
Arrangements are already marie
whereby noncommissioned officers who
look like they are made of officers'
timber will be sent to the army candidates'
school on recommendation
from their superior officers. .
If they make good they will be as
sigueu tu vacuuoes as secuuu ncaicuants
in replacement divisions advancing
later to combat divisions where
; promotion may be expected to be rapid
in the event of heavy casualties among
the officers.
Many Lieutenants Needed.
In order to have sufficient officers
in readiness at all times no limit is
placed upon the number of second lieuI
tenants in replacement divisions, it bell
ing recommended that they have at
least three times ls many as combat
ll^^divisions.
fel M Under the new general order divi cV
Bsional and other unit commanders are
; 'V& to consider "only fighting efficiency
W units" in recc^nmending temporary ap
J pointments for promotion to line offi
[cers.
The general order makes it plain
that such recommendations must oe
based solely on demonstrated fitness
and ability to command. Divisional
and other unit commanders are instructed
to investigate carefully all
officers' records.
i
All recommendations must be submitted
to the commander in chief for
approval.
The six Hooverites who are visiting
the American camp awoke the
other morning at reveille, after spend
ing the night in hay lofts and barSB*
racks, somewhat better acquainted with
B conditions under which the American
B ? soldiers are living.
n Too Cold for Pig.
k B To begin with, this was to have been
the story of how Everett Colby of New
S v :1 Jersey, slept with a pig. Mr. Colby
laivB and the other representatives of Her?,Bbert
Hoover wanted to sleep and eat
SffBunder exactly the same conditions as:
^SiSthe doughboys. Thereupon the press
Ifftlfficers in charge of the arrangements
||pjBframed it up'* on the New Jersey,
f?fg? They happened to know that in a
fjllfBertain village wherein militiamen were
11 Bmartered there were ideal advan-;
?f|feHages for roughing it. Ten soldiers
|p$?were billeted in a certain barn owned
|||?ry an old villager who obstinately re-'
|$|lffcpsed to allow the Americans to disW1*
bis P*S. w hich hed been occupy-;
HBBfcg the same hay loft with them for
P stame time.
f The press officers arranged to have
one soldier move for the night to give
I \fr rvilhv flrrnmmrMlations next to
[ the pig. JThen the following morning
ktbe correspondents were to interview
the Jerseyan on his impression of the
pig and the pig on his impressions of
his fellow lodger.
But the pig's owner had been left
out of the calculation. The night was
cold so the villager moved the pig into
his own quarters, where there was fire, i

Mr. Oolby thought of the pig and vice
versa.
I HORSE MEAT SALES
REPORTED INCREASING
New York.?New York butjr~
chers have begun to awaken to
the fact that the threatened in- I
troduction of horse meat at low |
prices had not only become a
reality but is promising to get
an overwhelming welcome in 1
the poorer quarters of the city.
Already the beef butchers in
localities where the horse meat
shops have been established are
beginning to feel a falling off in
trade, and in one section are
charged with showing their resentment
by violence.

American Pluck Provides Government
2
With Precious Metal Required for j
; Making Explosives?Express '
Companies Refuse Job.
San Francisco. ? A fortnne, for
which kiDgs of crookdom would have
cheerfully risked their necks, has just
been delivered to the government, after
having been carried half way around
the world like so much junk.
Sheer Yankee pluck turned the
trick.
It was transported from the Ural
mountains, in Russia, to the United (
States by F. W. Draper, an American
mining engineer, who turned 21,000
ounces over to the department of commerce.
The rare metal was carried in hoses,
as Draper's luggage?a king's ransom
at the mercy of every porter, baggageman
and 'longshoreman in Russia and
Japan. ,
He Did the Incredible.
"I got it safely through," explained
the engineer, "because I did the incredible.
No one would believe a man
had so little sense as to lug a few (
million around like that. To have
treated those boxes as precious would
have meant to lose them?and prob
ably my life as well.
"It was just an interesting bit of {
practical psychology."
His wife and four-year-old son accompanied
him.
On the railroads across lawless Russia
and Siberia, under the nose of the
irresponsible bolsheviki, and past thousands
who would have cracked his
head for a fraction of that wealth,
Draper smuggled the precious dust.
Express companies had refused to
take the risk at any premium.
"You'll never get it out of the country,"
they said. "Not with platinum
worth almost its weight in diamonds."
"Well, there it is," he said, kicking
some old boxes on the San Francisco
pier.
"I've slept and eaten on those boxes
for over a month. And when I wasn't
sitting on 'em, my wife was. I've become
quite accustomed to sleeping on
a $2,000,000 pillow. And I want to
say it was deucedlv hard on my head.
"But while Mrs. Draper and I guarded
the shipment carefully, we did it
in a casual fashion that didn't arouse
suspicion. i
Wants Softest Bed in Town.
"Say," he added, "do you know
where I can find the nicest, softest !
leuuier ueu 111 iw?u;
The 21,000 ounces of platinum, bad- j
ly needed in the manufacture of explosives
and for scientific and sur- j
gical purposes, was consigned to the I
secretary of commerce, who will supervise
its distribution.
Draper, whose home is in Boston, p
has spent the last six years as con- |
suiting engineer to a number of the A
largest Russian mining companies in 3
the Ural mountains.
He has been specially commended |
by the United States government for $
his courageous and highly valuable
service to the nation.

Box of First-Aid Materia! Made for 5
Use in Spanish War Just
Turns Up. gj
Burr Oak, Mich.?After being on the I
way 19 years, a box was received by $
Capt. Charles P. Wheeler sent him by 3
express by his mother.
Captain Wheeler led a company of ?
volunteers in the Spanish-American jj
war in 189S, and while at Camp Al- 9
ger, Don Loring, Va., his mother sent I
him a box weighing 70 pounds, con- I
taining first-aid material and medicine. |
Before the box arrived the company 8
had moved to Cuba, and as the com- 8
pany moved so rapidly the box never I
caught ud. On his return he tried to |
trace the box without success.
J^ast week the box arrived from Phil- i
atfelphia, being sent by Col. R. H. a
Rolfe of the Quartermaster corps, it !
being presumably laid aside with gj
other war material and finally brought g
to light. $
