Camps to Raise
Type of Manhood
Training Intended to Develop
Youth to Greater State of
Physical, Mental and
Moral Perfection.
In addition to preparing young
men for service in the army in case
of hostilities, in the three military
training camps which will he held
from August 1 to 30 in the Seventh
Corps area, the War department has
announced Its intention to develop a
better type of American manhood.
Although the AVar department's re
quirements are high for the applicants,
it is intended to develop the young
men to a greater state of physical,
mental and moral perfection.
Considerable interest is being
aroused in the various localities with
in the corps area by the young men
who are aspiring to measure up to
the government's qualifications. The
following requirements must be met:
Death Kate Lower.
Weight 100 pounds; height, 4 feet
11 inches; chest expansion, at least 1
two inches; good vision and hear
ing; teeth serviceable. A mental de
velopment sufficient to understand
military discipline and orders must
have been reaehed.
Merritte W. Ireland, surgeon gen
eral of the United States army, is
greatly enthused over the educational
features of the camps. He has an
nounced that the training the young
men receive will enable them to re
turn to their homes with physical
fitness and habits for good health
Which will be an incentive to others.
The death* rate amonjj the stu
dents who attend these camps is
lower than that found in any other
class of the United States; of the
22,343 men who attended last year's
camps, there were only two deaths,
both of which were caused by ap
pendicities which existed before the
men entered the camps.
Four Courses Offered.
Young men between the ages of
17 and 24 are. eligible for this year’s
camps. Four courses will be offered,
the Basic Red, Advanced Red, White
and Blue. Those finishing the fourth

tion and application blanks relative
to the camps. Maj. Gen. George B.
Duncan, Seventh corps area, will also
supply additional information.

Ford Is Dubbed
“a Bag of Gold”
Election to Presidency Would
Be Bowing Down to Mam
mon, Says G. 0. P. Chief.
By Aimlilnl rre»».
New York, June 30.—Election to
the presidency of Henry Ford "a
mere bag of gold” would be bowing
down to Mammon, Charles D. Hllles,
republican national committeeman
from New York, declared In a state
ment printed by the New Yorljt World
today.
"Ford would make a pitiable spec
tacle as president because he has re
vealed * a political knowledge and
sense that a schoolboy would be
ashamed of. And it is Mr. Ford
who asserted that all history is mere
'bunk.’ Henry Ford Is said to be
the richest man In the world. It Is
part of our Americanism to begrudge
no man his wealth If he has made
it honestly and by service. But If
we place at the head of the nation,
to speak for us before the world,
a mere bag of gold, who knows noth
ing about anything except making
automobiles, we shall bow down to
Mammon Indeed, and the democracy
of Washington and Lincoln will de
generate Into failure."

U.S. Faces Crisis
in Ship Rum Row
Curzon’s Warning That Seiz

Stirs Diplomatic Corps.
By International NfWi Service
Washington, June 30.—The United
State* today faced a serious crisis
with foreign powers over American
prohibition laws.
The State department clearly was
perturbed over the attitude of Great
Britain. The plain wnrnlng conveyed
hv Lord t'urzon that, while Ameri
can seizures of beverage liquors on
foreign ships is admittedly legal, yet
cannot be condoned ns In strict con
formity with international prac tice or
comity, was the cue for a stir in the
entire diplomatic corps.
While the State and Treasury de
partments today had only the brief
and seemingly unimportant "protests"
of foreign ship captains whose ves
sels had been boarded and liquors
seized by government customs offi
cers, foielgn embassies and legations
were disturbed over th" "real pur
pose'' of the American government
Diplomats in conversations with
State department officials claimed that
their governments were In no sense
acquiescing in any plan by foreign
ship lines to persist in bringing bev
erage liquors Into American terri
torial waters.
London, June 30—"There Is no
chance for relaxati- n of the dry ship
regulation until the American con
gress modifies the law unless Wash
ington Is able to make treaties with
the foreign powers on th» subject."
Se- ret-ory i f the American Treasury
Andrew Mellon declared today.
"The prohibition law prohibits the
transportation of liquor within the
territorial waters of the United States.
The government has no alternative
but to enforce It. The government
might make a treaty which would
enable United States officials to
search and seize outside of the three
mile limit, hut permitting foreign lin
ers to bring liquor under seal. Such
a treaty would have to bo made
through the treaty-making power of
the president Rnd confirmed by the
American senate. Otherwise there Is
no chance for relaxation until con
gress arts."

suppose he ihought he'd give the kid

On this, he passed lightly to the
supper table, where later, on being
loudly called, Neale followed him,
starting up from his moody silence as
though he hal forgotten where he
was. It was his first supper out with
young people, the first time he had
eaten welsh-rabblt; the first time he
had seen anything prepared over a

That was what he needed. He start
ed to speak, but a shout of laughter
burst out of the room below them.
They looked down In the center of
the vociferously amused circle of
spectators, Don was making fun of
his late adversary's gawky manners
and poor eve-sight. He had a racket
in his hand, and glaring through it
with a burlesque of Peterson's intent
short-sighted gaze, he was mimick
ing the schpol boy's attained awk
ward position at the net.
Neale fell back appalled, and look
ed to Natalie for sympathy and un
derstanding.
Natalie had also leaned forward,
and as they turned towards each
other, her face was so close to his
that he could see the peach like
bloom on her cheeks.
All the pretty face was quivering
with mirth. “Isn’t Don the wittiest
man!"
Neale got up stiffly and walked
down the stairs without a word No
body In the crowd of laughing boys
and girls paid the least attention to
his silent passage through them. He
went out on the porch, the l,eating
down pour of the rain suddenly loud
In his ears. Oh. all the better! lie d
like getting soaked.
He found his wheel on the side
porch, mounted it without troubling to
light his lamp or turn up his coot
collar, and delighting in the clammy
discomfort of the streaming water,
pedaled stolidly over the nine mile* to
his home.
Alone in his room he took off his
steaming clothes, rubbed down and
got into pajamas and a bathrobe.
“Crittenden,” he said sternly, “the
world Is no place for you. You’re a
lone wolf. A lone wolf.”
CHAPTKH XIV.
When Neale turned out his Wels
bach burner and rolled Into bed. he
encountered a strange, new Sensation,
an Immense relief just to lay himself
down, and to have darkness about
him. For the first time in his life he
was consciously very tiled for the
first time he knew the adult sensa
tion of having lived to the point of
weariness, for the first (ime he felt
the passive sweetness of the resigned
adult welcome of repose which is per
haps a premonition of our ultimate
weariness and our ultimate welcome
to death.
For a moment Neale lay- there,
drowned in astonishment at this new.
unguessed-at pleasure. Then, with
out warning, the thick cloud of a
boy's sleep dropped over him like
black velvet.
The next morning, his father, pass
ing on the way to his cold bath,
looked in and saw the boy.
sunk fatljoms deep in sleep, the
bright new sunlight of the early
morning shining full on his face
Heavens! How can children sleep so
soundly' His father stepped into the
room, walking silently on !>are feet,
and drew down the shades. The
shadow.ng of the room did not j
waken the sleeper. He still lay pro
foundlv at res* and yet profoundly I
alive, one long, big boned arm thrown
over his head on the pillow, as fc?l
always had slept when he was a I
rhlld.
F r it instant the face of Nettle's i
father was unlocked as he stood look
;ng d \vn on his son Then, With a!
lone breath. he stepped back into the,
hallway, silent an his bare feet, andj
went on to shave, and to take hi*
cold bath.
It wag after Id when Neale awaken- ;
ed and the day had aunk from its first .
ficsh hopefulness into the res.gned j
aj thy of a hot midmorning.
Neale came slowly to himself and
rolled over, a very lead taste in his
mouth, both physically and modally.
He had not noticed it at the time, but
he now thought, scraping his costed
tongue against his teeth, that melted
cheese and cake and nutfudge and
- ngf-rale were a darned bad combina
tion to be swallow ing of an evening. |
And as for the rest . . .. oh. gosh! j
Never again!
The telephone rang he heard Katie,
answer, and elump up the stair* to see
if he were awake
"Somebody to talk to you, Neale." |
she said, seeing him sitting up. Neale's I
father might note he was no longer a|
rhild. Neale's mother might keep her,
hands from fussing over him. but for j
Katie he would always be the little
hoy she had helped to tiring up. Fhe |
laid her hand on his head now and i
Neale did not mind.
"You answ-er." he said stolidly.
“It's him that's always telephonin'."
she explained. "He'* after wantin'!
you to go and play tennis."
"You tell him I can't go," Neale
repeated,
Katie retreated astonished. Neale
heard the sound of her voice at the
telephone two flights below. Then she
shouted up, "Neale!"
He went to the stairs and answered
crossly, "What?”
"He wants to know will you be goin'
this afternoon?”
"No!" shouted Neale, leaning over
the banisters.
In a moment she cried again. "He
wants to know will you be goin' to
morrow morning?"
"No!" shouted Neale again, and jo
ing into the bathroom locked the door
behind him.
When rather damp as to hair, he
came out, silence and the smell of
frying bacon told him that Katie had
left the telephone to get his breakfast
ready, flee Whiz! He didn't want any
breakfast, not with a taste like that in
his mouth.
To act the part of a lone wolf of 16,
one must read poetry. He had never
read much poetry except some of
Milton's Paradise Host, for a specially
