So-called "slacket commissions," by which men of draft age seek to escape service in the ranks and get officers' places in non combatant branches of the army, have struck a snag In two general policies Jald down by Secretary Baker. These are, first, that no men ol - draft age be commissioned unless it is shown clearly that they are better fitted for the special work of which they are called than any civilian be yond the draft age whose service can be secured; second, that no func tion of the army that can oe carried on effciently with civilians shall be placed on a military footing by com missioning the men needed to super vise the work. from the liability of service at the front. various staff departments of the army that have to do with the supply lines, transportation, construction and a hundred other non-combatant func tions of the service Is a difficult one. There have been numerous cases ol young men of draft age who have ob tained commission In those services and therefore are exempt from the operations of the selective service law under which the fighting troops are being mobilized. It 1b the desire of Secretary Baker, apparently, to keep this element of the commissioned per sonnel of the army at minimum,' in Justice to the great body of dratted men and to prevent any suggestion that men of draft age have found shel ter In the commissioned grades of the non-combatant branches of the service JACK TAR LOSE8 LIFE JTO 8 AVE HI 8COMRADES Washington.

Apparently the peril of the Italian troops guarding the Piave line and the hill country In northern Italy against the Teutonic allies 1 at an end. Large numbers of British and French reinforcements, Infantry and artillery, at last have arrived upon the scene, after days of anxious wait ing, in which the Italians have boape the brunt of terrific fighting on bbtb fronts solely on their own shoulders and kept back the enemy froriT a fur ther invasion of the Venetian plain. Although faced everywhere by su perior numbers of men and gun pow er, the Italians have valiantly de fended every foot of ground In the hills and along the Piave, and in the former region In recent days actually have taken the offensive against the invaders and pushed them back fram strategic points of vantage tbey had gained under terrific sacrifices in lives. For eight days the allied reinforce ments marched to the rescue, bring ing along with them large numbers of guns and huge supply trains.
