As a he climbs from one rank to the t hieher rank after having demon ten'in each position his intelli- gence. you may win ad- T-.-an as Or I" 1 1 " lv' nrement to the grade known as Hi-das' "privates. . About one-fourth l ihe privates in each company may t liven the rating "first-class."; which ans in substance that -they are rev garded as skilled and trustworthy sol- Noncommissioned Officers. From the first-class privates ar$ us allv choen the corporals. These are L "quad leaders. They are appointed bv the commanding officer of the regU Vent on the recommendation of the commanding officer; of the company. In addition to the regularly -appointed corporals each company' may have one lance corporal. , This is a temporary appointment maoe uy mo vumpaujr 4mmander for the purpose of testing Sthe ability of 'some private'whom he is thinking of recommending for perma nent appointment. In case the lance co-pnral does not make a good show in?, or for any other reason, he. may be returned t6 the ranks when the commander of the company sees fit. Next above the eorporal in rank comes the sergeant. There are usually 5 t0 ii sergeants- in a company. Un a sereeant has some other duty assumed to him ,he is normally the leader of a platoon. There are, how ever, many special duties constantly assigned to sergeants. The first ser geant (in Army slang, the "top - ser geant"), for example, keeps certain company records, forms the company to ranks, transmits orders from" the company commander, and performs many other -important tasks. The sup ply sergeant sees to bringing up sup-i plies of all kinds to the company. The mess sergeant looks after food. Tee stable sergeant is responsible for the proper care of horses and mules. The color sergeant carries the national or regimental -colors. There are many other grades v;hin the, rank, of ser geant which cannot be described here. You will gradually become familiar with them during your army , experi ence. Commissioned O file-era. Sergeants and corporals are known as noncommissioned officers, because they are appointed "by their regimental commanding officer. Officers of higher ranks are known as commissioned, lince they hold their rank by virtue of a commission, issued to them under au thority of the President of the United States. The commissioJied officer is thus on quite a different footing from ine noncom (.noncommissioned om 'er). He obtains his rank and author iiy-froni- a higher source.. He Is treated with respect which is of a different character from that extend ed to a noncommissioned officer. This is one of the fundamental things in Army organization. Lowest in rank among the commis sioned officers is the second lieuten ant. Above-him comes the first lieu tenant and above him the captain. These are the three "company officers." The captain is ordinarily) the command m? officer of a company, while the lieutenants might be described as as- 3tant- captains. In - the absence or disability of the captain, -however, the first lieutenant takes his place and has YiLfHmma,n?' and in the absence or Klt nI both th second .lieutenant takes the command. wfLi1 abVe the caPtan is the major; I nX lTOleT commanA is "a battalion. f tej. hlSher is the lieutenant colonel m-1 6 lm the colnel, the com lTLo8r 0mC,er "f a reiment. The T- & nt,COlonel "ordinarily assists the colonel and in his absence takes the command. ln case both the lieu IaT colonel an the colonel are dis abled jor absent, the senior major takes tne command. J The General Officers. Above the colonel is the . brigadier general, whose proper command is a brigade. Above the brigade general is the major general, the highest rank at present held by any officer of the American Army.. One general, however, serves as Chief of Staff of the Army. As such he supervises all troops and departments or the military service. He in turn re ports to the Secretary of War . The Secretary of War m his turn acts under the general direction of the President of the United States, who is the Commander in Chief. The chain of authority reaches in an unbroken line all the way from the President to the newest recruit. If der-which in any way affects the re the President chooses to give an or cruit, it passes through the Secretary of War, Chief of Staff, major general, brigadier general, colonel, major, cap tain, sergeant, and possibly corporal until the recruit is " reached and the order obeyed. Ordinarily only the most general in structions are issued by the higher officers. .The manner in which these instructions .shall be carried out is left to the judgment of officers in closer contact with the troops and with a more intimate knowledge of the con ditions under which they are working. HORNER OPENS TUESDAY. C C .Humphries Will Be Athletle Coach Students to See Soldiers. (Special Star Correspondence.) Charlotte, N. C, Aug. 31. The Hor ner School will open Tuesday, Sep tember 4. Students arriving on -time will avoid the congestion on the rail roads of government troops coming to Camp Greene later in the week. Mr. C. C. Humphries, graduate of Washington and Lee University, a member of . the Horner faculty this year, will be the athletic coach. Mr. Humphries is a splendid specimen of physical manhood. Among the new boys to enter this fall are some husky heavyweights for the football team,- to meet the soldier boys of Camp Greene on the gridiron. 'The Horner cadets this year will have a great- opportunity of seeing, what hard trainingfor active military service means. Camp Greene with its 4.0,000 soldiers, is seven miles away on the opposite side of Charlotte, but with the street car connection the cadets can often go in a body to see what real army life is. NINE TRAIN LOADS ALABAMA GUARDSMEN PASS FAYETTEVILLE Ten Trains of Pennsylvania Guards men Also Pas Southward. (Special Star Correspondence.) Fayetteville, N. C, August 31. Nine trainloads of Alabama National Guardsmen passed through here last night on the way north. No statement from the men as to their destination was obtained, but they were presum ably being routed to Mineola, L. I., where the complete division of Nat ional Guard units is being concentrat ed." A regiment of Alabama Guards men is to be included in the division. Early yesterday morning and late Wednesday night ten trains of Penn sylvania National Guard troops were routed through Fayetteville to their camp at Augusta. (Special Star Correspondence.) Southport. N. S. C, Aug. 31. The re cently fitted up rooms on the entire first floor of the Masonic lodge build ing oh Nash street were thronged 'last night by the soldiers from Fort Cas well and invited guests, who had been asked to attend the occasion of the opening of the Army and Navy Clb. these- rooms being dedicated to the soldiers for their use whenever they may be in Southport, as a place where they may feel perfectly - at home, to read the periodicals of the day, write letters, play games, smoke and gener ally come and go as they please. "A rest room," as some styled the quar ters, and a3 the name implies, the "boys" from Uncle Sam's war vessels that may be in these waters, will be equally as welcome to the quarters provided. The suggestion of such quarters for the soldiers and sailors came from the ministers here, and immediately found response .nd action at the Wands of the business men and citizens, the result being the Army and Navy Club, with the rooms as noted above. For the occasion. Dermission to attend was given to about fifty men from each company at the Fort, also the Fort's band, adding greatly to the- spirit of the night's program, the following being the order of exer cises observed, held in the beautiful front yard, the speakers making their addresses from the spacious front porch of the Lodge building: Introduction Fort Caswell band. Address The Reason of the Gather ing; Its Purpose Hon. E. H. Cran mer. Address Objects and Work of the Brunswick Council of Defense Hon. C. Ed. Taylor, chairman local coun cil. Address Local Red Cross Work Miss Kate Stewart. Musical Selection Fort Caswell band. Address Presentation of .the Quar ters to the Soldiers and Sailors Maj. Joseph W. Ruark, in .behalf of South port cft-izens. Address of Acceptance of Quarters Lieutenant Moore, for the soldiers. Music, Selection, "Dixie" Fort Cas well band. At the conclusion of the program, which was both enjoyed and enthusi astically received, refreshments were served the soldiers and invited guests by the ladies, thus completing the suc cessful opening of the Army and Navy Club, which cannot fail to prove a means for. the comfort and pleasure of those for whom it was designed, as well as showing Southport's interest in endeavoring to offer the best for the soldiers and' sailors who may visit this city. SEPTEMBER 27 DATE SET FOR UPHEAVAL IN GERMANY Editor of the "Square Deal Says He Has It Prom Reliable Source. (Special Star Correspondence.) Snow Hill, N. C. Aug. 31. George A. Jones' "Square Deal," a local week ly, today referred editorially to an im pending revolution in Germany. Ger man Socialists 'and Radicals in the Fatherland and this country have set September 27 as the date for an up heaval intended to dethrone the Kaiser, according to information Jones says he has from a -well-informed German American. . "The thing is all cocked and primed, my informant stated," Jones said. "I don't know why the 27th was picked for- the outbreak, but it's a safer date than the 13th, and the day isn't Friday. I was told that General Hunger has gotten such hold upon the situation that the lid is bound to bldw off and somebody is scheduled to lose a job at Wilnelmstrasse, or Potsdam, or Bolognasausage, or wher ever our old side-kicker Bill lives."

This little actress is going to be one of the biggest stars in America. She is already well on the way and she gets better with every picture. "Her New York" is probably the best yet. This is a chance for you to iden tify her with your theatre and make her your star and clean-up. "Her New York" has more thrills and dramatic action than any of Gladys Hulette's former pictures. It was written by Phillip Lonergan and produced at the Thanhouser Studios under the direction of Eugene Moore. "Mr. Lonergan's vehicle gives the star many an opportunity to put her fJfi .jpri p U -it- 'VC tm f 11.

'Her New York entertains quite as fully as did its predecesors. Her New York" is characteristic of the type of play the public has learn ed to expect from Miss Hulette, whim sical, humorous and dramatic, all at once. "Her New York" is characteristic of terest-compelling story from begin ning to end and it gives Gladys Hulette a wonderful opportunity for her delightful characterizations of Nell, while William Parke, Jr., does splendid work as Jack Monroe. Helen Badgley, the cute little Thanhouser child actress, is as pretty as ever in the role of Nell's little sister. Other members of the strong cast are J. H. Gilmour and Thos. A. Curran. Big Show at Bijou. The Bijou will present one of the biggest shows of the week for the big week-end crowds today. Of course, the bill is headed by a mammoth L-Ko Komedy scream. "Rough Stuff, is the title and it's everything that the title would suggest and a little bit more. Yells of laughter will greetj this L-Ko stunt comedy, featuring the in imitable Dan Russell in the leading role, with Gladys Varden and Walter Stephens. The fun rages fast and furious in a hotel lobby, and at a fashion show, where Dan gets close to the beauties on parade. Walter is the bellboy and introduces rough stuff that will send you into paroxyms of hilarity. It's a roar, in two reels. Nestor day also today and Eddie Lyons, Lee Moran and Edith Roberts in 'The Rushin' Dancers" pull a bunch of new stuff. The dancing craze furnishes them with a novel plot. All the ladies are dance crazy and the men have to do the housework. They import a female dancer (so they say) b-ut in reality the bunch make Lee the goat, and it's a scream. Current Event's is also on today's big bill with some new official French war pictures. FEAR THE ETERNAL TRIANGLE. So Wives of English Farmers Object to Women Laborers. (Chicago Tribune.) y England has mobilized several thou sand women for farm work, but al though the nation 'faces the greatest food crisis in its history, comparative ly few have been sent to the farms. Yet the crops are near the harvest. The chief obstacle ha sbeen the' farm ers' wives. Letters received at the Labor Bu reau in London are mostly from the husbands. Usually they are reserved and evasive as to the real reason why they refuse the tender of women help, for which, in some cases, they had asked months ago. But a few letters from the wives themselves and the discoveries of some of the landholders disclose a fear on the part of the ' wives that If wo men farm, labor is employed the eter nal triangle, quadrangle or polyangle may endanger their control over their spouses. "J told one of my best men," said a Yorkshire landowner, - "that if he would plant the most of his meadows in potatoes I would obtain labor for him for cultivation and harvest. Regis tered at the London Labor Bureau I found an adequate supply of women labor, many of education and standing, who hoped thus to serve their country. I wrote my man that six; women would be out in a few days. "But before the women boarded the train my Yorkshire man directed me to cancel the arrangement. "I visited his house a few days later and his wife was carrying things with a high hand. I evidently arrived at the end of a domestic storm. She told me she wished I would keep my fingers out of their domestic affairs. My pro tests were of no avail. "She had enough trouble keeping her man," she said, "without Si lot of women' around."
