Reports from Copenhagen of persistent rumors from I'inland. that Grand Duke Alexis Nikolaievucn. son "i < ?< *?* mer czar of Russia, has be?y> ' proclaimed emperor of Russia, were taken here to indicate that Germany was attempting to carry through a well formulated plan for restoring a monarchy in that revolution-torn counr>\Vhile no reports of a new revolt In Petrograd have been received at the state department from Ambassador Francis at Vologda, news of an uprising woul? not come as a surprise. It long has been believed here that Germany'3 real purpose was to restore the monarchy supported by German influence, money and intrigue. \H U CAM r V OFFICERS' TRAINING SCHOOL OPENS MAY 15 Secretary Baker Announces the Date of Fourth School for the Training of Officers. Washington?The fourth officers' training camj> will open May 45, at various divisional camps and cantonments, Secretary Baker* has announced. * The secretary said that two per cent of the enlisted personnel of the divisions and detached units of the. regular army, national guard and na-' tional army, excepting the coast artillery and the various staff corps. I will be designated to attend the schools. This procedure, he said, will operate through reguldr army channels. . ... Tn addition there will be admitte'd all graduating members of seriiOr divisions, reserve ofllcers' training corps units, who have completed the; course prescribed for the reserve of-; fleers training corps and all members of the advance course.' senior divisions. of. the corps, who ..by May 15 have completed one year of the advanced course, and wlfb havi h*d 300 hours of military instruction since January 1, 1917, under supervision of an army officer. In addition, a number of men who have had a year's military training under army officers, at. any time during the past ten years, in educational institutions, recognized by the , war j department, will, be admitted. All applications must be filed by May 1. The several educatioi|ar institutions recognized by the government, the secretary said, have been assigned quotas and they shortly will be advised as to the method of selecting candidates. ^ "DAPPERS FROM D" 13TH FIELD ARTILLERY I O,, V T. Rli'hanknn \ We have about come to tho conclusion that the cup which was to be given to the champions of the regimental baseball league was only an imaginary cup, so in that case D battery will buiid an imaginary stand for it. and the other batteries will be invited over to look at it Rumor has had it from time immemorial that we are "to be moving a few days," but our destination varies lal*hte way from"-France to Slam. D battery's squad of intellectualosities (meaning signal detail, or brain squad) learned something last-week. They lea riled that kicking down a Mask of rifles means a tow days of K. P. Two of hte squad have two: days each coming^ A plea for "Just i,. An. r-hnnoe" tr> hit the mark. When it comes to actually doing things D battery can usually be relied upon. When1 the "B. C." announced that we had an opportunity to buy some'of the third Liberty loan bonds a rush was made for the mess hall, where a few thousand dollars worth of bonds were subscribed for. Our men did not have to be coaxed or persuaded to buy. Now that is real pa-! trlotism, is It not? We wonder howl long it would take to raise the full loan, if the civilians would make one of the several sacrifices that the soldier willingly "makes'? that is to spare all of the money that he possibly can to ITls country. Remember, that Is only small sacrifice as compared with most of our other sacrifices. But we are happy in making all of them. When the doctor informed Tony ithat he could hear a rattle in his left hine. Tonv explained. "Yes sir," said he, "I think I must have swallowed it when I was a baby." In speaking of how well Battery D looked at drill the other day. a sweet young thing remarked, "Oh, they look so uniform!" The medical department Is puzzled over the number of men who have a numbness from the neck up. That ailment is not confined to the 13th field artillery, however. 4 ni'Il.DING 106 HAS IMPROVEMENTS. The soldiers around the Army T. M. C. A. building 106 may well take pride in the appearance of their army home. For it has the appearance of a i;cal home now. This is due to the Tryon Street Methodist church, which since last fall has taken a special In on more than one occasion 106 has been deeply indebted. This ' church has gone to quite a little expense in decorating and providing for this building. Beautiful creton curtains have been hung over all of the windows. pictures have been hung upon the wallsfi.. attractive stage furniture of rustic design has been bought and a rest room has been fitted up with comfortable chairs and table and lounge decorated with creton. which will serve as a resting room for mothers and friends who come to visit their sons. They have also given us a cur estlng books for our library and. last but not least, gardens have been planted all around our building with beautiful flowers. This building 106 was happy to learn that the Tryon Street I M. E. church has been chosen to care/or us. This building has another friend who fuinishes fresh flowers every dya. These home touches are deeply appreciated by the soldiers. RAILWAY FARES AND SCHEDULES FOR TROOPS Following fares including war tax'; in'effect from Charlotte. N. C.: TCjH Fares.
