So-called "slacker commissions," by which men of draft age seek to escape service in the ranks and get officers' places in noncombatant branches of the army, have Btruck a snag in two general policies laid down by Secretary Baker. These are, first, that no men of draft age be commissioned unless it Is shown clearly that they are better nttea lor tne special work of which | they are called than any civilian be- ' yond the draft age whose services can be secured; second, that no function of the army that can oe carried on effciently with civilians shall be placed on a military footing by commissioning the men needed to superrise the work. from the liability of service at the front, JACK TAR LOSE8 LIFE TO SAVE HI SCOMRADES Washington.?Osmond Kelly Ingram, of Pratt City, Ala., the gunners' mate lost overboard when a German submarine attacked the American destroyer Casein in the war sone on October 16, deliberately sacrificed his own life to reduce the risk to his messmates.

The American, British and Italian missions already have reached the French capital. They are led respectively by Col. E. M. House, David-Lloyd George, the British primer minister, and Vittorio Orlando, the Italian premier. In addition to determining a basis for stronger joint action against the enemy countries, the conferees doubtless also will discuss at length the anomalous situation in Russia, where the Bolshevik! 'factions are in control and where German staff officers are reported to be acting as military advisers to the Lenlne government. Possibly a most pertinent pomt in the discussion will be the future attitude of the allied countries toward Russia ?whether the situation as it now Btands does not place the Bolshevlkl government and its followers in the category of allies of the central powers. Inside Russia the unsettled * conditions of affairs dally seems to be growing more serious. All communications now has been severed between north and south Russia, even the foreign embassies in Petrograd being unable to get in touch with Odessa and other points to the south. Unofficial advices are to the effect that the Russian northern army is in dires traits.

DoPaulles, former Yale football star and clubman, at his home near Westbury, Long Island, the night of August 3. In the verdict no reference whatever was made to insanity. It was a plea of temporary loss of accountability which formed the basis of the defendant's case. Mrs. de Sauiles, who had mantained an air of extrome selfpossession throughout the two weeks of the trial, received the verdict smilingly. She shook han?s with each of the Jurors as they left the box and to each gave a nod of appreciation. As Mrs. de Sauiles left t-he courtroom, a newspaper photographer touched off a flashlight.

Columbia.?Governor Manning has announced the appointment of the medical advisory boards for South Carolina,' whose dnty it will be to cooperate ?r?*h the various exemption boards throughout the State in the matter of the physical examination of registrants trader the selective service act. Section 44 of the selective regulations prescribed by the president provides for these boards, "who will examine registrants sent to them by local boards or State adjutants general for examination; and will advise such local boards or State adjutants general concerning the physical condition of such registrants. Upon the advice so obtained, local boards may proceed to a final, determination concerning the physical qualifications of such registrants." The appointment of these medical advisory boards docs not interfere with the prerogative of the local boards or the physical examinations by them, but it is expected that they will materially aid in facilltatng the work of the local boards by co-operating with them in such advisory capacity as may be deemed expedient. Herotofore, probably 10 per cent of those sent to camp -have been rejected upon re-examinatlon for physical disqualification, and It is believed that with the cooperation of the advisory boards nam- I ed today that camp rejections can to a large extent be eliminated. Dr. Robert S. Cathcart of Charleston. was appointed to co-operate with the governor in the selection of these advisory boards, and their further organization will be left largely to him. The appointments are made by the provost marshal general upon the recommendations of the governor. They are as follows: First District, comprising the counties of Greenville, Pickens, Oconee, Anderson, Abbeville, Laurens, McCormlck. Greenwood, Newberry, Union.

Those who have tnea it sav that it isn't the easiest thing in the world to stick one's bayonet into a dummy on the fly and that the dummies have an unpleasant way of "coming back" at the attacker. A series of meetings on the method of selecting enlisted men for the officers' training school, to be opened from January 5 to April 5, 1918, has been arranged. Officers of the -different organizations in camp met with T. L. Hansen, who has been sent here hy the war department to explain the method of selecting the men for the training camp.
