DRAFT BOARD ITS

FOR COJPLETE LIST

At Least Two Days Needed

to Make Out Official

Boone County Roll.

MAKING TWO COPIES

Another Physician to Be Selected Members Act as

Notaries Public.

Notices to appear before the local

Exemption Board for examination will

not be sent until Friday, according to

E. C. Anderson, chairman of the board.

He announced this afternoon that the

lists will not be finished until Friday

The Boone County Exemption Board

this morning decided to postpone the

meeting of the board until all the lists

are complete. Two stenographers

are at work on the lists today. One

will be made for the sheriff's office

and one for the use of local newspapers. Sheriff T. Fred Whitesides

says that it will take at least two

days for the completion of these lists.

Great care must be exercised and the

lists must be inspected and verified

by the board.

The board will hold a meeting before sending out the first call for men

to appear before it to apply for exemption. The meeting will probably

be held tomorrow and the first notices

will be sent out immediately after

ward. One of the most important

matters which the board will take up

is the selection of another physician to

assist in giving the physical examinations. Dr. W. R. Shaefer has been

mentioned for the place.

According to a communication from

Provost Marshal General Crowder, 160

men from Boone County will be taken,

not including those who have enlisted

in the army and navy up to the present time. The Provost Marshal also

announces that all members of local

exemption boards will be empowered

to act as notary publics and may take

the oath of those who apply for exemption. This will save registrants

having to pay money out to notary

publics.

Columbia National .Senlee Xow lists

4SS $37.77 Obtained In Fees.

Twenty-si- x women had signed up for

national service at 4 o'clock this afternoon at the second registration held

today in the Thilo Building, bringing

the total registration for Columbia up

to 4SS. The money obtained from the

registration fees for both days is $37.-7- 7.

This includes fees from some of

the counties as well as from Columbia.

That the seeming lack of interest in

today's registration is due to the lack

of publicity given it, is the opinion of

those in charge of registration. However, the last half hour before 4

o'clock, the women began to come in

large numbers and two-thir- of the

entire day's results were obtained

then. Reports from the county are

not in yet.

The registration took place from 9

o'clock this morning until 5 o'clock

this afternoon. Miss Frances Denny

had charge of the table this morning

and Mrs. J. X. Belcher and Mrs. J. R.

Thomas this afternoon.

woven rugs and model farms.

In the intermediate work the cardboard cases, pads and full bound books

COMPANY F ORDERED

MOBILIZE SUNDAY

Captain Major Receives Instructions to Leave Columbia Next Day.

NEEDS 10 MORE MEN

Soldiers Will Be Sworn Into

Federal Service at

Nevada.

Company F, the Columbia company

belonging to the Fourth .Missouri Infantry, National Guard, has received

orders from the War Department, to

mobilize at their armory Sunday, August o, and to entrain at 1:30 p. m.

Monday over the Katy Railway for

Nevada, where the entire regiment

will be mobilized.

When the regiment arrives at Nevada, it will be equipped with clothing and supplies of all kinds. The

soldiers will be inoculated against typhoid, and vaccinated against smallpox. A physical examination will be

made by officers of the regular United States Army. After the men have

satisfactorily passed this examination,

they will be sworn into Federal 'Service.

Captain E. B. Major said this morn

ing that his company at present consisted of only 140 men and that he had

places for ten more men. If the com

pany is not recruited to war strength

before reaching Nevada, drafted men

will probably be placed in these com'

panics.

Over one-ha- lf of the members of

Company F have seen service on the

Mexican border. Several former

members of this company are train

ing to be reserve officers at Fort Ri

lay, Kan. A company fund is being

started this afternoon to buy many

necessities that arc not furnished by

the Government. The Fourth Regiment will go from Nevada to Fort Sill,

Okla., for training before embarking

for foreign service.

T- -

Says War Plan Has No Aims

of Ambitious Schemes of

Conquest.

Ity United Tres

COPENHAGEN', August 1. Kaiser

Wilhelm disclaims all ideas of ambitious schemes of conquest as war aims

in his annual war anniversary procla

mation, part of the text of which was

received here today. "We must continue the fight and continue to furnish

arms," he said, "but our people may

rest assured that German blood and

bravery have not been gambled with

for a shadow of ambition or schemes

of conquest and subjugation but in defense of a strong and free empire in

which all our children may live in security.

"The enemy is stretching out his

hands toward German territory," the

kaiser continued, "but he will never

have it. Many nations continue Jo enter the war against us, but this does

not frighten us. We know our

strength and are determined to use it.

We stand erect at the year's close.

Immovable, victorious, intrepid. Our

trials await us but we shall meet them

with grave mien and full faith."

At the same time the kaiser issued

a special separate proclamation to the

German army and navy, concluding,

"The Lord God will be with us. In the

mighty battles of the west you of the

army remain masters of the situation;

our navy threatens the enemy's very

existence."

'OPE WANTS "CHRISTIAN PEACE

Will Xot Ally Himself with German

Catholic Partj's Plans.

Ity United Press

ROME, August 1. Pope Benedict

is not supporting any peace plans

which the German Catholic party or

its leader, Matthaias Erzberger, may

be agitating. Those close to the Vatican declared today that the Pope had

been extremely careful not to commit

himself to any particular peace plan

or permit his sympathies to incline to

any particular group of peace agitators.

Vatican officials admitted, however,

that the Pope is striving for a "just

and Christian peace," but not through

any of these agencies of others.

Many Customers Do Not

Ask Merchants to Deliver

Small Packages.

YET SOME REFUSE

Several Grocers See Little

Change and Expect to

Continue Service.

The Retail Merchants Association

will meet at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to discuss the delivery of parcels

within the city.

An increase In the number of packages carried home by buyers has been

reported by eight out of thirteen

stores visited in Columbia.

"Twenty-fiv- e per cent of our cus

tomers now carry their own pack- -' sun rises todav, 5:io a

E. G. McAllister, manager of Hetz-ler- 's

Meat Market. Robert Rogers

said that 20 per cent of his customers

now carry their small packages. However, he added, some people refuse to

do this. At one place Saturday the

market made six deliveries amounting

to less than one dollar.

J. W. Robinson says that there is a

marked Increase in the number of

packages carried by the consumer.

Ue said:

"The campaign is good, but it is

only half begun. If people want a

real saving they ought to put things

on a cash basis. The grocer who cred

its his customers must charge enough

for the goods to git Interest on his

capital. Cash payment would enable

the merchant to knock off a per cent

of the price."

The Sunnyside Grocery is not In

favor of having people carry their

own packages. J. G. Armistead, man

ager, said, "The people are willing to

pay for it, and we are willing to deliver. Why talk about conservation

in deliveries when there are carnivals

and picture shows and circuses. It

people are willing to pay for deliver',

we will deliver."

A. R. Lyon's grocery has noticed no

change in the number of packages being carried by the consumer. They

too wish to deliver as long as the

people are willing to pay.

The drug store is a place where

least change is noticed. A call to the

drug store is generally an emergency

call. B. H. Taylor of Peck's Drug

Store, said that people now telephone

to ask if they will deliver as much

as fifteen cents worth, when formerly

they merely ordered it to be sent out.

W. C Knight of the Drug Shop said.

"we have noticed no change, but this

is a hard time to determine because

everything sent is so firmly fixed

that it will take a long time to edu--

ihu peupie to new system.

While the dry goods stores do not

report a big change, T. O.

of Robinson and Boswell, says that

there is some change. Victor Barth

says people are conscious the

campaign. At Strawn-Neate- 's it was

said persons offered to carry

their bundles.

The Western Union reports no increase in their messenger business.

However, they do not believe that peo

ple will carry their own packages, so !

if the grocers do not deliver the messenger boy will become the delivery

boy.

HAMPERED BY

British and French Consolidate Gains Teuton Counter Attack Fails.

HILL 304 CAPTURED

Artillery Eradicates All

Trace of German Trenches

and Fortifications.

Ity United Tress

LONDON, August 1. A deluge of

rain that turned mud

Flanders into a sticky ooze hampered the British drive today. Field

Marshal Haig reported all gains had

been consolidated during night

and all German counter-attack- s had

been repulsed. The only offensive

fighting reported was in the nature

of "minor operations" south of the

Ypres-Comin- Canal, where British

positions were improved.

"Hostile counter-attack- s yesterday

afternoon and evening on our new- -

positions around La Basseville and

north to Ypres-Comin- Canal

were repulsed," Haig declared. "In

the neighborhood of Ypres-Roul-e- rs

IUilrcad our artillery crushed a

German counter-attac- k at night. A

heavy rain has been falling since early yesterday afternoon."

With such extensive gains on the

British and French fronts registered

in their initial effort, utmost energy

was required for consolidating the

positions against counter-attack- s.

What brought favorable comment

here today was the total failure of

all German attacks against

round won by the drive, and this

despite the fact that all battle front

dispatches agreed British artillery had practically eradicated all

vestige German trenches and forti

fications.

This means, it was pointed out to

day, that victorious English sol

diers were forced at once dU;

themselves in and erect strong lines

to hold their gains. The French of-Ic- ial

statement detailed how their

troops had likewise consolidated their

gains and also mentioned torrential rains.
