MANY STILL AFTER CAMP I (By United Pre a.) FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON. May 26. Hundreds of applications are still pouring into Fort Harrison from those who wish to take the officers' reserve training. The number of applicants has increased many times since the conscription bill was passed by congress and the age limits finally settled. Some of those who make application believe there win be another camp when this one is finished. Others think that they might be allowed to take the "places of those now at the tamp who are disqualified. There seems to be small chance for them. It is highly improbable that there will be another officers camp. It will also be Impossible to take green men into the camp in the middle of the training period and expect to make anything out of them by August 15, when the camp closes. There have been eases, however, where such men have been accommodated. One young fellow from Ohio showed up at camp Several days after training started and made his application to "Ret into the camp." The officers looked him over, decided he was a likely looking fellow, and told him to get into uniform right away. Another youth who wished to Join the first camp and received a goo! mark in his examination paper, was not called because of lack of room to accommodate him. He went to the camp anyway and pestered the officers to let him into the ranks. He was ordered to leave the grounds and told a hundred times that he couldn't be used. But he hung on. Finally, the officers were so impressed that they let him in. BOY SCOUTS BOOST iES PROJECT A. F. Knotts of Gary, president of th National Dunes Park Association, has received a letter from Boy Scouts at Kouts, Ind., indicating that if the older people of Porter county are against saving the dunes th erising generation have a broader view.

The attorney general has warned United States district attorneys that the Ir.w forbidding the sale of drinks to any officer or member of the military forces while in uniform is now effective. It also applies to sa.ilor3 as well as national guardsmen. Originally the law as first drafted contained the words "or give," which were stricken- out. Now there is a disagreement whether a civilian can buy a man in uniform a drink. In New Tork District Attorney Snowden refused comment on that "phase of the law. Assistant District Attorney Knox said "A law has been enacted and it will be enforced rigorously. If a waiter or bartender observes that civilians persist in buying drinks for uniformed men. then it would seem' to me, that waiter or bartender would be liable to prosecution for permitting a violation of the spirit of the law in his place. And it seems to me there might be action against the civilians." ORDERED TO WASHINGTON FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON. May 26. Major II. E.
