CAMP EDGE, SEA GIRT, Aug. 11. "Moving day" for Company has resulted in a general reorganization of the outfit. The corporals have been given new squads and assigntd to different tents, the change being necessitated in order to relieve crowded conditions of some of the tents and to arrange the men properly in relation to their height. The quartermaster's tent, partially stocked with supplies, is to be used now by Supply Sergeant Jemison and the two mechanics, while the secend tent "ill be occupied by the first sergeant, mess sergeant, and company clerk.

The cooks and company musicians will be quartered together and eight duty sergeants are to occupy another tent. The first squad has been assigned to Corporal Tilton; second, Corporal Taggart; third. Corporal Gardner; fourth. Corporal Knit-rim; fifth, Corporal Sliinn; sixth. Corporal t'ramner; seventh, Corporal Moss; eighth, Corporal Baker; ninth.

Corporal Garvey; tenth, Corporal Keim; eleventh. Corporal Farry; twelfth, Corporal Flanigan; thirteenth, Corporal fourteenth, Acting Corporal Huggins; fifteenth, Corporal iirace, and seventeenth, Corporal Kushton. Corporal Rufus B. Allen, who has been assigned to headquarters as acting battalion sergeant-major, and Corporal Allen Wagner, who has been stationed at the mustering office, have not been assigned squads as et. Company H's new men are rapidly reaching that stage of development where they can no longer be clas-ieo as "rookies." They are making almost them on the ground of dependencies.

Three alien residents were discharged without being examined and two others were excused as they are already in military service. File Exemption Claims.

11. Announcement of the appointments of officers anade from the 2,500 men trying out at the Fort Myer, Reserve Training (amp, was made today. By instruction of Adjutant General McCain, the commanding officer at the camp informed the men selected of their appointments. New Jersey was largely represented among those commissioned. The appointments take effect from Aug.

15, the date of the camp's closing. Seventeen Monmouth county men received appointments, and of these eight -were from Asbury Park and vicinity. Tw of the Monmouth county men were commissioned first lieutenants and the others all received appointments as second lieutenants. Most of them were appointed to the Officers' Reserve corps, unassigned, while four were appointed to the National army to be formed in the fjraft, and one to the regular army. The man to be assigned to the regular army is Harry J.

Rockafeller, of Asbury Park, commissioned a second lieutenant. Those appointed to the National army are George V. Henderson, Asbury Park, as second lieutenant of cavalry; Gordon A. Knapp, Asbury Park, as second lieutenant, quartermaster corps; Bayard C. Applegate, Red Bank, as second lieutenant, quartermaster corps, and David N.

Bullock. Englishtown. as luartermaster corpr. The two Monniuutii made lirst lieutenants are Leon Reussille. Red Bank, and Ross B.

Officjrs' Reserve corps: Philip K. Van Dorn, Ocean Grove; James H. Crosson, West Grove; William B. Mc-Michael, Asbury Park; G. Frank Coble, Asbury Park; David W.

Seabright. Most of the appointments made were to second lieutenants, with a much fewer number to first lieutenantcies, still fewer to captaincies and only one or two to be majors. Some men are appointed officers in the "Infantry section of the Officers' Reserve corps." Others are appointed officers of infantry in the National army. The war department today issued this explanation of the distinction: "Officers graduated from the training camps are appointed to the Officers' Reserve corps "becau they will thus become available for call into service after the present war. They will be detailed from the reserve corps to command units in the National army or Regular army, but at the conclusion of hostilities will be retained in the Reserve corps and returned to the inactive list.

"Those officers, appointed directly from the training camps to the National army, will be mustered out after the war and will not be automatically available in the event of any subsequent need. "The war department lias, therefore, adopted the policy of appointing to the Officers' Reserve corps all men whose age permits and who are otherwise satisfactory. The maximum age limits for appointment to the Officers' Reserve corps are; For major. 45; for captain, for first lieutenant. 36; for second lieutenant, 32.

There is no age limit for appointment of officers to the National army." GAIN TWO MEMBERS The West Grove auxiliary of the As-hury chapter of Red Cross added two new members this week, bringing the total membership now to 160.

A lawn party is to be held Tuesday afternoon and evening at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Charles F.

Jamison, 76 Corlies avenue, for the benefit of the auxiliary.

The raised top of Freeman Wines' Ford touring car saved Wines and Optician H. Willard Wiseman from injury when the car turned a summersaulL on Springwood avenue early this morning. As it was Wiseman escaped without a scratch and Wines suffered only a badly cut right hand. But that one hand bled so much that when John Thomson, proprietor of the local Ford agency at Main street and Lake avenue, found Wines' car in his backyard this morning he imagined there had been a Prussian butchery. The car, badly damaged, was all bespattered with blood and in the back was a man's shirt also covered with blood.

Wines, who lives at lo35 Sewall avenue, is a hackman at the main railroad station. About 2 o'clock this morning he was called to the Newton lunch to get Wiseman and a woman companion. They had taken the latter to her home and were returning when the accident occurred. Both men assert that the car was moving at a moderate speed when it struck a depression in the brick pavement on Springwood that had been partly filled witfi ashes. One of the shoes of the car burst and the Ford, after lurching from side to sde, turned completely over upon its top.

Wiseman and Wines crawled out from under and after taking account of themselves found that the only injury to either was that of Wines' hand. They succeeded in righting the Ford and got it to the Thomson agency, where they left it. The top was much broken and the windshield was smashed. The right fender was bent up and the "wishbone," part of the steering gear, and front axle also were bent.

CENTRIST PARTY 001? Announced Dr. Spahn Will Not Seen Reelection to the Reichstag. BERLIN, Aug. 10 (via London Aug. 11).

Is the Catholic Centrist party receding from its attitude taken in respect to parliamentary reforms in the course of the recent cabinet crisis? This query has been suggested by the decision of Dr. Peter Spahn, leader of the party in the reichstag, not to seek reelection to the reichstag from which he has been forced since accepting the post of Prussian minister of justice. With that appointment his mandate in the reichstag automatically expired by I constitutional provision but he is priv- ileged to go before the voters and seek reelection. In a section of the press and in his own party it was taken for granted he would continue as party leader in the reichstag as his reelction was positively assured. Germania, organ of the Centrist party, is now authorized to announce that Dr.

Spahn will not be a candidate. This has removed one of the parlimentarians from the Prussian ministry and bundesrat, as Dr. Spahn in the capacity of minister of justice also qualified for membership in the fedcr-U council. His action for the time heing makes it unnecessary to change the imperial constitution, which does not permit simultaneous membership in the bundesrat and reichstag and also possession of the reichstag mandate while holding a governmental position. Dr.

Schiffer, one of the National Liberal leaders who has been appointed under secretary of imperial finance ministry, also will not seek reelection to the reichstag. Germania says: "To return to the question of parlia-mentarization of the government, we all know today how far responsible advisors of the crown have proceeded and may recognize in the present accomplishment the limits to which they propose to go. We need not reiterate that these limits coincide with what the. Centrist party deems desirable and aim to achiee." Children Free In company with adults, give the i young folks a good time.

Pratt of the local exemption board that the district's allotted contribution of 129 men to the National conscript army would lie increased to 112 by the addition (if 10 percent of the original quota to insure the securing of the original number. Examination of registrants will be continued until the I 1-' men qualify. Only the original 120, however, will be chosen, the 13 additional men being selected to fill the ranks ill case appeals made by any of the first selected are sustained by the federal exemption board.

Board members have not yet decided when they will issue the second call for examinations. There is no doubt that another 150 men at least will be summoned before the board to undergo the physical test, for even with a number of those whose claims for exemption will not bt the quota can not be made up from the first list of 25S men called. Members of the exemption board would not even hazard an estimate of the number of men seeking exemption who would be refused, but Dr. I 'rati declared that fro mhis own personal knowledge of some of the men who have filed discharge claims, their claims will not be upheld. Altho registrants are allowed seven days from the time the call is mailed in which to file their exemption claims, it is unlikely that any of' those who have not already filed will do so.

Secretary Walter Taylor has made a practise of asking each registrant examined whether he intends seeking exemption and requiring those who declare they will do so to file their claims immediately. Thirty men of the 86 called today had been put thru the physical test up to 11.30 this morning, the examining physicians, Drs. R. S. Bennett and J.

A. Hill, speeding up their work and making a somewhat better average than during the first two days. Of the 30 examined up to that time only four of those who passed the test walked out of the armory without signing one of the discharge blank claims. They were: Walter De Bruin, Elberon. Robert C.

Long, Ocean Grove. Elbert F. Thompson, Asbury Park. Frank Baunreuther, Asbury Park. Fourteen were rejected as having physical defects, one was held for further examination tonight and 11 of those found physically able to go to war filed claims for discharge, all of On complant of Charles Morris, who runs a laundry on Springwood avenue, Mae Green was arraigned in the city-police court this morning charged with being disorderly and with assaulting Mae Brown, a diminutive colored woman, who is deaf.

According to the second Mae the row started over her saying "How-de-do" to Miss Green. Miss Green resented the advances and replied somewhat heatedly. According to Morris, the Green woman hit the Brown woman and knocked her down, and then a black woman interfered and the scrap was called off. Before the trial had proceeded very-far the facts were so confused and the witnesses' testimony was so contradictory that the court found difficulty in rr idering a decision. Miss Green displayed marks on her wrists which she alleged were inflicted by "that brute Morris." In rebuttal Morris claimed that he was not guilty but that Miss Green's husband had made the scars a few nights before in a little domestic difference.

After the evidence the court dismissed the case, with a warning to keep the pe-ice tho future. Hippodrome Features A real city show at the seashore. This is new. ice skating without ice. It's a fact, you can see Mr.

MATAWAN, Aug. 11. Four masked men sprang from a thicket near Cliff-wood yesterday and tried to steal from Ray Robinson, paymaster for the New Jersey Brick company of Cliffwood, but Robinson arid his companion disregarded the command to throw up their hands and the masked men began shooting with their pistols and a shotgun. All of the robbers shot at Robinson, wounding his and his companion, William Eversham, but the lire of the paymaster was so hot that the men were compelled to flee without the money. It has been the custom of Robinson to drive from Matawan to Cliffwood with the money to pay off the men in the plants of the brick company.

The way leads across barren meadows, where there is only a light growth of underbrush to provide cover for highwaymen along the road. Robinson and his companion were thus taken by surprise when the four masked men sprang from a small thicket and with command to the two men to throw up their hands opened fire on the horse in the hope of preventing any escape. Robinson ordered Eversham to whip the horse and try to break thru the men, who had formed a cordon across the road. But the men killed the horse and then began shooting at the paymaster, who returned the fire with a short shotgun and with his pistol. Even after they were wounded Robinson ard Eversham kept shooting at the men until they began to flee.

As they ran two of men dropped their hats, and with these as means of identification the police hope to catch the would be robbers, who. It is believed, were Italians formerly employed in the brick plant and familiar with the custom of paying off the men. Farmers who heard the fusillade ran to assist Robinson, and they succeeded in getting an accurate description of the robbers as they ran away. Robinson was sent to Luke's hospital in New York to have his wounds attended, and physicians sad he-would recover. One bullet struck his arm and th other shoulder.

Eversham was shot in the leg. and was nt ti "-e Lonr Branch hospital.

LeMaistre's. i Eleanor Madero, Granddaughter of Slain President of Mexico, to Represent Brazil In Congress of Nations In "Triumph of Democracy." MISSES FLOCK AND CARHART TO SERVE A daughter of Mexico, granddaughter of a patriot who gave his life in his effort to preserve a republic from the power of absolutism, will rally to the support of Miss Liberty in her declaration for a republic to replace the old regime in the Asbury Park carnival realm.

Mi.s-s lOleaimr- Madero, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernesto Madero and granddaughter of President Madero, the martyred Mexican executive, has been selected to enact the role of Brazil in the congress of allies assembled to sanction the abdication of Queen Ti-tania in the boardwalk Arcade the night of Aug. 22. She is passing the summer in a cottage at 207 Allen avenue.

Allenhurst. Tho born in Mexico City of a long line of ancestors prominent in affairs of state and business in Mexico. Miss Madero has passed so much of her time in the United States that she is wholly American in her sympathies and considerably American in her interests and occupations. A typical Mexican beauty, Miss Madero, however, is typical of the American girl in so far as her love of outdoor sports is concerned. She rides and enjoys other outdoor pastimes.

Mrs. Madero, the mother, was just a little bit doubtful concerning her daughter's participation in the carnival events until Miss Mary Lawson Leech had explained the theme of the entertainment, which will portray the overthrow of a monarchy and the substitution of a republican government "The Triumph of Democracy" is the title selected for the ceremony. Then her eyes sparkled and accepting gladly, she declared that her daughter had been signally honored in being sought for the part. Miss Madero hurried to pay her respects to Miss Gruzilla Taylor, who will be Miss Liberty, and to express her pleasure at having a part in the carnival events. A New York girl anil a Jersey girl also will serve with Miss Madero as maids in Titania's court and afterwards representatives from the allied nations.

They are Miss Marion Carhart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Carhart of New York, who is at the Ocean hotel for the summer, and Miss Rebecca Flock of Long Branch, a daughter of City Commissioner and Mrs. John W. Flock of that city.

Both are athletic and will bring to Titania's court contrasting types of the American girl. Miss Flock is brunette; Miss Carhart is a blonde. Both are musical and devoted 'to summer sports in the ocean, accomplished dancers and tried hostesses. Moreover they lend themselves particularly for the parts Miss Leech had in mind when the abdication program was conceived. Now that mid-August is a matter only of a few days, there is a decided increase in carnival activity and renewed interest in the coming events.

Particular stress is being put on the patriotic pageant which is to bring up the rear of the marching babies in Ocean avenue on the afternoon of Aug. 29. Everyone is invited to participate in this division grownups and children too old for the parade proper. Red Cross nurses, patriots in the kitchen, home gardeners any of the hundred and one things that Americans who stay at home can do to help win the war these are the themes the Carnival association wants represented in this pageant.

A colored youth broke the routine of waiting this morning when his turn came to enter one of the cotton enclosed booths.

He "came up smiling" for the physical test, but was found underweight and was discharged.

After Delinquents. President Pratt is making an energetic effort to round up delinquent registrants.

Dr. Pratt notified Officer i J- ward Dillon to begin a search for le men and as a result several appeared today with their claims.

One of them, George H. Wagner of Allenhurst, is a subject of Germany. The smallest man physically to appear before tiie board was examined this morning. He is an Austrian and weighed only pounds. Before rejecting him Dr.

Bennett inquired whether they were all like him in Aus-; tria. "If they are we won't have much t-ouble licking you," he stiid. The Austrian grinned, but whether at the dot tor's remark or because of his failure to pass the physical test is not known. Yesterday's Proceedings. Twenty of the 46 local men who 'passed physical examinations before the Asbury I'ark exemption board yes terday did not file claims for exemption and will, in all probability, be members of the new National army.

I Twenty-six of the successful regis-jtrants, practically all married men. filed claims for discharge, a total for the two days of 55. The net result of the two days' examinations, eliminating all claims for exemptions, now stands at 31. One hundred and seventy-two men of the first 258 men tpvied for uniml. i nation have already been called be fore the local board.

Another batch of 86 will be examined today completing tiie first list of 258 called. As it is altogether unlikely that Asbury Park's quota of 129 men will be raised from the first 258 called for examination even if the exemption board should deny some of the claims for discharge filed Thursday and yesterday it is expected that another call, extending down, perhaps, to the 500th man in the list of order numbers, will be called before the board within the next few days. Eight Fail to Appear. Eight men summoned before the board yesterday failed to appear for examination and were otherwise unaccounted for. It is possible that srrr nt them liav.

The boys are anxious to improve physically, too, and are taking great interest in the "setting up" exercises given each morning under the direction of Lieut. George Jemison. Last Sunday, in parade, tho hoys from "the Town Without a Frown" were given a big hand all along the line for their marching, and they have entered into the big war game with a spirit that bids fair to gain recognition for Company not only as the most efficient outfit in the Third regiment, but as one of the crack companies of the state. Lieut.

Harsin, who is acting as company commander during the temporary absence of Captain Auten, has reason to feel proud of his proteges. Basketball Game Postponed. Owing to the. inability of Manager Deitweiller of the Headquarters company to put a team on the court Thursday night, Company H's initial basketball game had to be postponed. With fine material on hand, however, the Asbury Park company hopes to make a strong bid for the championship of the camp.

The available players are "Bob" Farry, "Peaches" Kni-erim and "Bibs" Matthews of the old Company team; "Rufie" Allen, captain of the Riversides; Wagner, formerly of the Company Juniors, and Klink, who has played professional basketball at Trenton. Company hopes to have representatives on the baseball team which is to compete with the artillery and cavalry teams for the Governor Edge trophy. Capt. L. E.

Angle, captain of the local boys in Provisional Company at non-coms' school, is looking after the interests of the infantry team, and the names to be submitted to him as the most likely candidates from will be "Bob" Farry, Bregelato and Wagner.
