16 NEW COMMANDER ASSIGNED TO GETTYSBURG TRAINING CAMP Gettysburg, Pa., July 17. The War Department has announced the appointment of a new commander for the training camp at Gettysburg and assigned Brigadier-General C. W. Kennedy to the post. General Kennedy will have charge of all the troops here, relieving Colonel Jones, of the Seventh Regiment, who as' ranking officer, has been in charge This will allow Colonel Jones to de vote his entire time to the training and development of his own regi ment. The Fourth Regiment, under Col onel Hatch, is apparently away ahead of the other regiments here in drill ing and maneuvering for the reason that Colonel Hatch has not been hindered in his work because of other duties, as was the case with Colonel Jones, while the men in the newly-formed Fifty-eighth, Fifty ninth, Sixtieth and Sixty-first have not yet been assigned the full staff of officers for the carrying on of the work, but it is expected that these commands will now be put to real hard work in the process of develop ment. The Fourth has had plenty of work. All of the recruits sent here from the different recruiting stat'ons were put in the Fourth until that regiment was filled up to war strength, and day after day sees the rookies being put through the vari ous drills by the older men of the regiment. Since the Fourth has been filled up the new men are being placed in the Seventh and it is expected that the same program will be carried out in this regiment. Friday is parade day at the big camp and every Friday evening the parade grounds are crowded with civilians to view the men in their maneuvers. The same day is hike day for the Fourth and each Friday since being here Colonel Hatch has taken his men on a march over the country roads from ten to twenty miles, each time passing thr.ough town on their return to their quar ters. This is proving very beneficial to the men in hardening them for the marches and the hardships they ROEDERX GETS PLACE | By Associated Press Amsterdam, July 17.—Count Von Roedern.

Unless you have actually seen Pos lam's work and know how readily It takes hold, stopping the Itching at once, you will hardly believe its ef fects possible in so short a time.

It was almost the first time that Von Beihmann-Hollweg had figured in the Berlin streets as a popular hero, and, although his cause had many friends, popular opnion re garded his effort as hopeless against the great prestige of the royal house, allied with yie military imperialists Von Hindenburg and Ludendorff. Proposed New legislative Group Von Bethmann-Hollweg's chief support in his brief effort for democ racy seems to have come from Ba varia and Austria, as the report goes here. He made two proposals—the first, that in the direction of demo cratization, a new body under the J name of the Reichsrath should be im | mediately constituted, which would I be a sort of committee on national j defense and would for* the time be-i Ing act as a go-between 'twixt the Heichstag and the Emperor, thus In stituting on a modified scafe the principle of parliamentary responsi bility. The'second, that the govern ment should immediately make an authoritative declaration of no an nexations or indemnities. Both these proposals, it is assert ed, had the backing of Bavaria and Austria, although Austria naturally had no open voice in the matter, which was purely a German Internal affair. llimlcnburg Opposed Both proposals were violently op posed by the Crown Prince, Von Hin denburg and laudendorff. It is de clared that Von Hindenburg came out openly for a "German peace." and avowed that Bavaria and Aus tria must be persuaded that a vic torious peace was certain in a short time through the agency of the Ü boats. Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg re signed from his post of chancellor fter his conference with the Crown Prince, in which the latter convinced the chancellor that his caUse was lost. 12 COWDRX PRODUCES ONE Gertie Booker was the only con tribution for police records last night from 12 Cowden.
