CITIZENSHIP AS A REWARD Major Ferris’ Development Battalion at Czcnp Upton Furnishes Basis for New Activity—Splendid Results Already Shown, Camp Upton, L. I—The knowledge gained during the w: n connection with the training and instruction of illiterate and non-English speakers is to be turned to account in the recruit- ing of a peace-time army. By directicn of the war department there is being established here the first “recruit educational center,” for which 50 barracks and other build- ings have been set aside, and it will be conducted on the lines followed by Maj. Ralph Hall Ferris when he made such a success of development bat- talion No. 6, which went cut of being when the armistice was signed. Major Ferris is retiring as camp morale officer to become commander of the center, which is the outgrowth of his own plan, Brigadier General Nicholson, camp commander, received within a few days the order to establish the center, and recruiting has begun throughout the eastern and northeastern depart- ments of the army. Will Be Taught English. An illiterate or non-English-speak- ing recruit who enlists under the new plan will be taught to speak English, will receive thorough American trah ing from officers born here, and will in addition get citizenship papers when his enlistment term of three years has expired. Under the draft act 24.9 per cent of the men enlisted, or practically one- quarter of them, were unable to read @ newspaper or write a letter home. There were 1,500 such men sent here and they were put in Major ‘Ferris’ development battalion. His method of training and educating them at- tracted attention in Washington. In the notification sent to General Nich- olson by Maj. Gen. Henry Jervey, as- sistant chief of staff, he “Your camp has been selected not only because it is centrally located but also because of the excel- lent results in connection with the teaching of English that have been obtained in development battalion No. 6, Camp Upton.” On August 21, 1918, the Sixth devel- opment unit was o! nized and all rookies who were illiterate or did not speak English, except a few who had physical defects, were transferred to it. The teachers selected were pri-| vates or noncommissioned oflicers who held university degrees or who were! teachers in civil life. Race was not considered in the choosing of officers. It was soon proven that squads and! platoons composed of different nation- alities received their military instrue- tion as easily as if racial groups had been organized for the purpose. Only English was permitted to be spoken in the mess halls, military formations and general gatherings of the men. Instruction except in the elementary classes was given in English. Made Good Progress. Within three months men who could speak little or no English when they entered the battalion became suffi- clently proficient in military English to fulfill the ordinary functions of soldiers both in organization and on Sepdrate missions. In addition prac- tically all of the recruits proved their spirit of Americanism by becoming citizens, The recruits upon being accepted for the new center will be classified according to their knowledge of Eng: lish and assigned to battalions accord- ingly. A school of instruction of the illiterate and non-English-speaking re- cruits is being established. The course of instruction will-be’ normally four months, or six months in excep tional cases. The men will be classed in groups of 15 to 20 and will be grad- ed according to the progress shown. A board of examiners will examine the recruits for classification and pre- Pare suitable tests to determine the rate of progress especially of slow- learning men and the reasons for their backwardness, When the recruits have developed sufficiently for assign- ment Major Ferris will report them to the adjutant general of the army for disposition, i Has Grand Little Scheme. Kenosha, Wis.—To make sure that his wife was not away from home with some one else, Fasmus Gedved, street car conductor, is said to have compelled her to ride miles and miles on his car. That was not so bad, but when he locked her up in the house and marked the bottoms of her shoes so that -he would be able to tell it “OTTO AUTO SEEMS ‘To HAVE NO Gedved was given ff deeree when she told her troubles in the divorce court. Just a Little Late. New York.--‘Just heard about the war and I want to enlist,” said Ste- phen Kresney, dashing up to a marine recruiting oftice. Ife was quite shocked when told he was too late, the war being over, = OF THE FIGHTING 69TH ‘© Western Newanaver.Union! Col. William Donovan and Chap- lain Francis Duffy, who distin- guished themselves on the field of battle. Colonel Donovan was pro- moted from a major to a colonel for conspicuous bravery while leading his men, the famous One Hundred and Sixty-fifth infantry, the old New York guard fighting Irish Sixty-ninth, who advanced farther than any other reg- iment. Father Duffy is the most be- loved chaplain of the A. E, F., and his deeds of bravery under fire are historic, RUTGERS DROPS GREEK RULE Study of Dead Language No Longer Required for Bachelor of ake Arts Degree. New Yerk.—One of the last strong- holds of the classical tradition in edu- cation fell when the trustees of Rut- gers college at New Brunswick, N. J., decided to abolish the requirement of Greek for the bachelor of arts degree. A strong fight was made by the scientifie school faction to have both Latin and Greek required of candi- dates for the A. B. This failed, but hereafter only one year of Latin will be required. Rutgers is one of the strongest pro- Ponents of the classics. It was the eighth college founded in this country and was formerly connected with the Reformed Dutch church. For the last half century it has been the state col- lege of New Jerse: The trustees gave permission for a $200,000 memorial building to the Rutgers men who were killed in the war, Had Old Bank Account. Burlington, Ia—James Bryant, sev- enty-five years old, arrested here on a charge of horse theft, suddenly re- called while in jail that 20 years ago he deposited $1,000 in a Burlington bank. An officer accompanied Bryant to the bank, and, sure enough, he found his account intact with interest arcumulated. Bryant says he is af- flicted with lapses of memory and s he does not recall stealing the horse, which was taken from a Musca- tine stable. Daniel Is Fireproof. Bristol, Pa.—Daniel Sweeney, a Shipyard employee, is __ fireproof. Sweeney went to sleep in a bunkhouse with a lighted cigarette in his mouth. A few minutes later some of his com: panions noticed smoke issuing from his room. Sweeney was found sleep- ing peacefully with the bedding ablaze and his vest burned off. He did not suffer a burn. He was arrested and held until he could pay for the cost of the bed. Wrestling Regains Speech. Atlanta, Ga—Private Rickenbacker of Orangeburg, S. C., who was made practically dumb by a skell explosion on a battlefield in France, regained his speech the other day during’ a wrestling match at Camp Gordon, His oprenent got a tight grip around Rickenbacker’s chest and the latter cried out in pain, His friends say he has been talking naturally since that time, —___.

Well-Preserved Stakes. Some of the piles in use in Amster- dam are three to four hundred years old. That part which is not in the ground in salt water is often bored by a pile worm near the surface, but is preserved by driving in nails with very large heads, so as to give the pile an iron coating. This coating is then transformed by the water into a layer of rust, which protects the wood from the pile worm. This process must be repeated every fifteen years. — A Classic.
