THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1917

WIVES STAND IN WAY OF MEN WHO WOULD DO DUTY Possible Applicants for Officers' Camps Kept Out by Spouses.

WASHINGTON. D. C July 12. The following telegram has been received by the War Department and should be given widespread publicity: "The statement that mature men will be given preference for the second series of Officers' Training Camps seems to have been misunderstood in some quarters. This preference will only apply where qualifications are equal. There is no intention to bar out applications from men under thirty-one. Id fact Examining Officers have been Instructed to regard the ages from twenty-five to thirty-five as the most suitable. There is also some misunderstanding about the necessity of previous military experience. The government is looking primarily for successful and force, ful men and military experience, though desirable, is not strictly necessary." (Signed) General McCain. The Adjutant General. CHICAGO, July 12. "We must get the ladies on our side," said Capt, Cromwell Stacey, at a meeting of Chicaxo applicants to the Second Off! cers' Training Camps yesterday after noon at the University Club. "Too many wives are hanging to their husband's necks and the govern ment is losing out on good officers We all can appreciate the fine feml nine sentiment which prompts this at titude, but this is no time for women to play the role of clinging vines." Then a big Chicago business man got up. His name is with-held by the censor in the interest of harmonious domestic relations. "It took me three months of coax lng. of playing possum, before I could make her realize that it was my plain honest duty to apply for the next Officers' Reserve Training Camp. "Go, John, Got" "Then, just last night, as she came up to me with tears in her eyes, putting her arms around my neck and laying her head against my shoulder, she sobbed, "Go. John, Got and I am proud of you." Capt. Stacey arose again. "The experience of the European 'armies has shown that some of the very best officers are made from business men between 25 and 35 years of . age. Many of these men are married. To all such Americans, I would say: Tell your wives that Just because you apply for these Officers' Training Camps, you do not sail for France next week. It may be a year before you leave this country and it. is prac tically certain you will be here for at leant ten months. "The women are standing In the way of much good material for officers. We must get them on our side before July 15. the last date upon which applications for the Second Officers' Training Camps will be received.

SHIPBUILDERS

STRIKE IS NEAR NEW YORK, July 12. A general strike which would affect all . of the thirty-five or more shipyards in the New York and New Jersey districts was .predicted here today, by labor leaders unless the deadlock between the shipyard owners and the men Is broken within a day or two. J. J. McEntee, business agent of the Machin ists' Internationa Association, said the government should compel the employ ers to concede the demands ' of the men because "they could not live on less ' than the minimum wage asked." "There are now more than 5,000 men iut on strike from eleven shipyards," he said. "If the owners of the yards hire strike breakers, it will prove dis astrous for the government. There are not many competent shipbuilders in the city, outside of the union to take the strikers places." The strikers ask an increase in wages of about fifty cents a day. It was estimated that there are about twelve thousand employes in the ship yards in this district. So xar the ship yard owners have refused to treat with the union but offered to meet their men as individuals. College Commission at Sea Over Arrival of New President Where . Is our wandering head to night? Earlham college trustees this spring had been informed that Dr. David M. Edwards, newly-elected - president, would be held at Penn college, Oskaloosa, Iowa, of which be was then president, until a year from September. With . this understanding, the trustees appointed a commission of four to run the school until Dr. Ed wards should be free. Professors Allan D. Hole, Arthur Charles, Raymond Binford and Lawrence Hadley are the members ofthe commission. The new commission went ahead and planned for next year until about a week ago, when word was received that Dr. Edwards had been released from dis duties at Penn college. Dr. Edwards is "somewhere in the east," and no word has been received from him. The commission is sitting tight and taking care of what little is to be done, but the commissioners would like to know their exact status. Until the trustees meet again, they will go ahead as originally planned but they, certainly would like to hear from the new president. .

Business Warned To Think Less Of Profits, And More Of Country

WASHINGTON, July 12. American business interests today had assurances from President Wilson that they will be paid fair prices during the war, coupled, however, with a warning that attempts to extort unjust profits will not be tolerated. In an appeal, addressed to the country's coal operators and manufacturers, the President urged that every selfish consideration be abandoned in this time of national peril. "Patriotism," , said the president, "has nothing to do with profits in a case like this. Your patriotism Is of the same self denying stuff as the patriotism of the men dead and maimed on the fields of France, or it is no patriotism at all. I shall expect every man who is not a slacker to be at my side throughout this great enterprise. In It no man can win honor who thinks of himself." President is Confident. The President expresses confidence that business generally will be found intensely loyal, and the problem of wartime prices will be solved through patriotic co-operation. There must be one price for the government and the A LINE OF these is limited, but we regard

for Every Occasion

m

n public, he emphasizes. The appeal deals generally with the determination of war prices on all commodities. The President vigorously condemns ship owners of the country for maintaining a schedule of excessive ocean freight rates which has placed "almost insuperable obstacles" In the government's path. "The fact is," he said, "that those who have fixed war freight rates have taken the most effective means in their power to defeat the armies engaged against Germany."
