psychologists who worked out the method now being applied at four of the cantontnents The military purpose he said Is to furnish commanding officers with a rating for each man in his command by which he may be guided in selecting men for promotion or for special duties requiring more than average intelligence The rliedICal purpose and the more important one is to find what men are so far below the UNTrage intelligenee am to demand serious consideration for diseharge or for assignment to work as laborers or to other simple manual work under careful supervision The first test is a literacy one and shows only which of the men can rend and write The illiterates are withdrawn to be given examinations for manual skill All those who can read are given various tests to determine their mental quickness Those who do not get good ratings On these tests are re-examined in a group to discover whether they are merely slow or are of low grade intelligence Any who do not then make a satisfactory mark are grouped with the illiterates with whom they are examined for manual skill and Ingenuity such as putting together dissembled meehanisms After further individual examination those who receive the poorest ratings are likely to be considered for discharge or suited only for manual work under supervisien "The aims of the entire psychological examination" Professor Bingham said "are "to measure native intelllgenee and ability not schooling to daliclose what a man can do with his head and his hands not what he has learned from books and to help the mediral ()Mecm quickly to discover and sift out the extremely incompe- tort kind thus prevent the inefficiency and ITIJUFOCe resulting from putting men in places which they are not qualified to fill" Tho examinations are being

defemlants "Boehm said that he bad planned to kill Captain Cook and his crew who were to make an expedition in the vicinity of the Himalaya mountains" said the vitness "Boehm was to assume the name of Captain Cook and the other men in our party were to assume the names Of the other Hallors who were to be killed I protested it was Iloehm's plan to go through India under the guise of an explorer and fmnent a revolt among the natives against Great Britain" The witness came to this country in 1912 to study Journalism but later was Induced to take part in the alleged plot by Gupta one of the defendants Ile told of meetings held In San Francisco in 1915 at which plans for the alleged plot Ivere discussed and of going to Manila tvith the alleged conspirator The witness was later arrested wit others and brought back to this country for trial On cross-examination Chatedi admitted he had been imprisoned for six months In solitary confinement in India before he confessed and was brought here Thomas Tunney acting captain of the New York pollee department testified to an alleged confession made to hint by lierambit Lai Gupta in New York March 10 1917 and his testimony was rorroborated by George Barnette a New York detective sergea "He told me that Captain von Pa-pen the military attache of the German embaesy in the United States paid him between $I5000 and $16- 000 In a suite of offices in lower Ttroadway" said Tunney "Ile said he received the money in six or seven payments and it was to be used in making a trip to the orient Ile said later he went to China and Japan and purchased firearms and ammunition for use in the revolution in India Gupta told me that Von Pa pen said he would buy additional firearms and ammunition In the United States and ship it to the orient by way of the South -seas Gupta told me he returned to this country in June 1916 after having been followed by detectives all over China and Japan Ile said that while in Japan he was given Protection on one occasion in the home of a high public official 'Ile told me the headquarters of the conspiracy was in Berlin" WANTS FULL REPORT ON DESTROYERS' FIGHT Navy Department Cables Vice Admiral Sims to Report De tails of Encounter Never before in her history has Charlotte witnessed such a parade as that of Thursday when 12000 soldiers from the forty-first division including cavalry artillery infantry and machine gun battalions marched through the principal streets of the city followed by thousands of citizens marehing by organizations an argument for the sale of the second Liberty bond immue Never before in her history ham Charlotte seen her streets MO densely packed with people as thousands upon tausands Jammed the Hidewalks and side streets along the line of the parade For once in her life the citizenry of the city was hushed into silence while what appeared to be a great army of soldiers passed by For the first time no doubt hundreds upon hundreds of people realized that the United States Is at vat realized that the men some of them at least were taking the long hike as an appeal to the people for funds to purchase ammunition and other neeessities for them in their battks against autocraey Fourteen thousand soldiers doesn't sound like many am figures of armies go now-a-daym but when 14000 men marching by platoons and all in step pass with the never ending "crunsh crunsh crunsh" upon the pavement It's a different matter and a sight moat too large for the average citizen Such It seemed yesterday to the denegJy- packed throngs for there were bur few cheers but meant hand-clapping Even the roost blase stood silently as the manly fellows from the northwest went tramping past in a never-ending stream their khaki Uniforms blending into a long-Htretched ribbon-like serpentine line and their guns forming the spikes of what looked like some gigantic monster They pammed through the great avenue of human beings more than two miles long with never asound to break the noise of the tramping feet except the martial airs played by the half a dozen regimental bands No Delay The parade passed the reviewing stand ereeted on the courthouse lawn in sherter
