in the engineering department.
The newly commissioned officers
have been given furloughs from August
15 to 27, that they may visit their
homes before being called into service
with the new army.
General Sage, camp commander,
would not say how many students
failed to get commissions. -He said he
will not know definitely until some er
rors in the telegrams announcing com
missions are cleared up. About 130
men were recommended for further
training at the second camp.
Many of the students who were dis
appointed are applying today for en
listment in the national army as non
commissioned officers, they having
been promised commissions in -that or
ganization if they make good. It is ex
pected a list of Snelling students enlist
ing as national army noncommissioned
officers will he made public late today.
National Guardsmen who attended the
student camp and failed to receive com
missions also can enlist as noncommis
sioned officers in the national army.
About 200 National Guard students at
Snelling have been awarded commis
sions in the various classifications.
Some students who failed to get com
missions or were not cared for in some
other way are planning to join- some
of the ambulance services, with a view
to seeing service in France at once.
Students of draft age who are not com
missioned, not recommended for the
second training Camp, or who do not
enlist in the national army as noncom
mic uohed officers, will have to take
their chances of being certified under
the draft law for national army service.
All students who have been commis
sioned as officers of the national army
at this camp likely will be assigned to
duty at the national army camp at Des
Moines, la., and it is expected they will
be required to report at Des Moines
for duty on August 27.

The Man of Constant Pasva.
Orville Dewey.
No man is more constantly unhappy, or
makes others more so. than the impatient
man. He is out of harmony with things:
and all things fight and worry and wound
him. He feels himself dishonored, too. by
his impatience: and he does lose, so far
as he indulges it, the true dignity of life.
He Is not cast, indeed, like the victim of
sensual vice, into the slough of dishonor;
: his garment perhaps is not soiled; but it is
burnt through, in a thousand spots, by the
everdropptng little sparks of petulance:
and it is In tatters and disorder with the
evercrossing flurries of angry passion; and
he seems to himself and to others as one
who scrambles through life, rather than
as one who walks in the calm and digni
fied robe of conscious self possession. Con
stant fretting and faultfinding and break
ing out into sarcasm and anger may be
reave a house of all honor, peace and com
fort. almost as effectively as gluttony
and drunkent>ess. Or suppose that the
fretful temper be hidden and smothered
In the heart; then it wastes and consumes
the springs of the inmost life.
The Modest Modernist.
Grant Showerman In the .Unpopular Re
view.
The modest modernist is always in mo
tion. He is the apostle of movement amt
the apostle of movements. He flits from
movement to movement. He Is always
| buzzing, sipping and darting away ta
fresh flowers. He keeps the rest of tha
I world in movement — in neighborhood;
i movements and national movements; in,
civic and patriotic movements; in theolog
ical, pedagogical, sociological and Illogical
| movements; in dietetic, philanthropic.
1 microscopic, and myopic movements.,
Every one of them Is in turn “the
most vital, the most far reaching, the
most comprehensive., and altogether the
most momentous ever initiated tn this
community."
Tlie modest modernist says. "Do you
know?” and "Do you realize?” a great
many times when he tells you this. He
makes frequent use of the word "eons
striictlve.” He says: "Do you realize,
my friends, that you and I. in this very
community and at this very hour, are
I inaugurating a movement which contains
I greater constructive possibilities for the
I cause of civic and social betterment than
! all other present and past movements
i combined? He says In parenthesis that
1 he “speaks advisedly." He says it Is
! strange no one ever thought of this be
I fore. He says all grent things are simple.
1 The modest modernist Is, talkative. There
I are pomo who call him ohautauquattve.

WILSON TO
MAKE COAL
CUT TUDAY
Greedy Operators, Not Satisfied
With High Price of $3
at Mine, Charge
More.
LOVETT TO DIRECT CARS
Head of Union Pacific Will Taka
Charge of Priority of Ship,
ments—State Com
plaints Grow.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 20.—Judge
Lovett, of the Union Pacific, will be
put in charge of priority of shipments
under an order of the president. Judge
Lovett plans to force shipments of coa!
to northwestern and western state*
that are clamoring for It.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 20.—The
president will take some action in the
coal situation early this week. He car
ried back to the White House from the
trade commission a mass of statistic*
on coal production costs and will go
over them tomorrow. His decision prob
ably will be announced Monday.
The president's intention, it was
learned, is to reduce the present prices,
not only at the mines, but of jobbers
and retailers. The trade commission’s
report Indicates that operators can sell
their bituminous at a price far below
the maximum of $3 fixed at a recent
conference between mine managers and
government officials and still make a
handsome profit.
Evidence was given the president
that operators have failed to abide by
the S3 a ton agreement and that they
have been selling their product for any
amount they could get. Shortages in
some parts of the country have made it
possible, it is said, for them to obtain
extortionate prices.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 20.—Presi
dent Wilson went to the food adminis
tration today for a personal confer
ence with Herbert Hoover and later
went to the federal trade commission.
It was believed the president discussed
the coal situation and the extent to
which he would assume the powers to
control distribution vested in him by
the food bill.
Under the law the president may fig
the price of coal, operate the mines or
commandeer siockb ana sen 10 me
public. Some decision of which course
he will pursue is expected as the result
of today's conference which were based
on the federal trade commission’s now
completed report on the coal situation.
At the federal trade commission the
president went over the figures gath
ered on costs of producing coal. The
trend of the commission’s report on the
subject was to urge the president to
take over the supply and its distribu
tion.
Washington. D. C., Aug. 20.—Evi
dence is coming to hand constantly that
governors, other state officials and
many members of congress are getting
more and more impatient over delay of
the federal trade commission’s taking
adequate measures to handle the coal
situation. Protests against delay are
pouring Into Washington.
That a number »f states will take ,
over coal lines unless the federal gov
ernment meets the emergency quickly
is fully expected. »
Not to Take Mines.
The administration .is unwilling to
take over the coal and mines as the
food control measure authorizes.
Representative Lundeen, of Minne
apolis. In a letter to the president calls on
him for immediate action under powers
granted by congress. He dwells on the
coal shortage in Minn-tsonta and the
northwest, and says if Minnesota people
have to cut down their forests to keep
their furnaces burning, they want to
know it In advance.
ILLINOIS TO ACT MONDAY.
Chicago, Aug. 20.—The public hear
ing on price fixing of coal by Justice'
O. N. Carter, director of coal for Illinois,
recessed today until next Monday.
Justice Carter has announced that after
the hearing he will set a price for fuel
at the mine mouth unless such power
has in the meantime been taken from
him through federal action.
Governor Lowden sent a telegram to
Francis 8. Peabody, chairman of the
coal committee of the national council
of defense, declaring he might be
obliged to take possession of the coal
mines in the stain.' Mr. Peabody in hie
reply pleaded for delay, asserting fed
eral action would no doubt be forth
coming shortly.
President Wilson gave assurance yes
terday that the Illinois coal problem
“is receiving the m?j.*t careful attention
and everything that be done will be
done."
CAPPER CALL8 COAL MEN.
Topeka, Kan., Aug. 20.—Governor
Capper has issued a statement to all
coal producers in Kansas calling them
to Topeka, Monday, August 20, for a
discussion of the coal situation.
Should this conference fail to pro
duce results the governor has aserted
that the state, backed by the federal
trade commission and recent acts ol
congress, will seek to take over the coal
production of Kansas mines.
PRINTERS TO PAY DUES
FOR DRAFTED TYPOS
Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 18.—
Delegates to the 63rd annual conven
tion of the Internationa] Typographical
union completed all business by hold
ing a night session and have adjourned.

the national army, the necessary fund
to be raised by per capita tax of 10

A proposition to set aside a fund of

Efforts of Colorado Springs suffra
gists to have the convention endorse a
resolution favoring national woman
suffrage and protesting President Wil
son's silence concerning the issue of

GORE TRIES NEW PLAN.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 18.—An
amendment to prevent expending any
money raised from the war tax bill in
transporting men to Europe who have
not volunteered for such service waa.
