DISCHARGES TO Be
GIVEN PROMPTLY
All Michigan Soldiers With De-
pendent Families at Home
Will Be Given Release.
BARLOW TO GIVE APPROVAL
Wolverine Commander Says He Does
Not Wish to Retain Any Man
Whose Presence at Home
10 Needed.

Ell Paso, Tex.--All members of the
two Michigan regiments In camp here,
who apply for and are entitled to a
discharge under the provisions OF the
recent order of the war department
affecting men with dependent families,
probably will soon be on their way
home. q
Col. Walter Barlow has announced
that he does not wish to retain any
one In his command who Is needed
at home and this Is taken to mean
that all applications for discharge
which are properly supported by am
davlts will be promptly approved by
him. Colonel Barlow believes also
that he has solved the problem OF pro-
viding enlisted men who may be dis
charged with transportation to their
place OF enlistment. II had been stat
ed that these men would be compelled
to puy their own way back home.
Colonel Barlow discovered n provision
in the army regulations OF 1913 that
all discharged soldiers shall be pro-
vided with transportation to their en-
iistment point or to some other point
of an equal distance. He believes
that this provision holds good and
that the Michigan men who are dis
charged will not have to pay their
railroad fare to their homes.
Colonel Barlow has adopted n
blank form of application, which he
will insist be universally used by all
captains in making applications for
discharges. The colonel will attach to
all applications for release letters
which may have been received from
dependents, and(these will be for
warded to the southern department
for approval. ....

ALLEGED peserters Face Prison.

There Is much interest in camp here
In fhe case of two men who are
charged with being deserters and are
facing trial by court-martial which
may result in their be:as sent to
Leavenworth prison.
The two soldiers upon whom the
hand Of military discipline has fallen
are Walford A. Peterson and George
Bowman, both OF Detroit.
The prospect Of court-martial Is
not all that the men have to face.
Neither Of these two men may make
n move without guard; they may not
converse with their fellow troopers,
and when an officer approaches they
must fold their arms and stand erect,
heels at an angle Of As degrees. Also,
there is labor. There is tree chopping,
greasy kitchen work and latrines. But,
above all, Is the shadow Of court-mar-
tial and federal prison.
Both Newman and Peterson were
given preliminary examination be-
fore their captain.

followed the announcement made by
Maj. Daniel w. Smith that all persons
In camp, whether in the service or not,
must take the smallpox vaccination by
direction of the chief surgeon, Lieut..
Col. Charles Wilcox.
This order affects approximately
200 civilians, including 80 transfers
who are delivering ice and doing the

teamsters protested and declared that
they would quit their jobs before they
would undergo the vaccination.
Lieutenant Colonel Wilcox asked
Major Smith for the names of all civil
ians in camp to ascertain the amount
of vaccine needed and the number of
medical officers to be detailed to adj
minister the treatment. Maj. F. L.
Wells, chief mastering officer, Endorsed

Flint Provides for Men.

None of the members of the Flint
companies need worry about their fam
HES. This was the information brought
here by Maj. Guy NJ. Wilson. Major
Wilson had gone TO Flint to look up
two cases that needed attention. When
he reached there he found out that the
social service organization of the Flint
factories not only knew of these cases,
but had more facts than he.
There has been no blare of trum-
pets about this" said Major Wilson.

the family of every Flint soldier in
the service and gave me the assurance
that If there was any need whatsoever
1t would be attended to no matter how

Discipline Is frightened.

Since Major Smith announced that
there would be a tightening of dis
cipline among the guardsmen there has
been marked progress made in the
military appearance of the privates In
the Thirty-third infantry, Colonel
Boucher has provided for instruction
OF the noncommissioned officers by
those with commissions. The privates
are taught how to salute and other
military formalities by the noncommis-
stoned officers. The major of each bat
talon has been given instructions to
get their company commanders to en-
'phasize discipline and military appear

Wire. Service Crippled
by Aurora Borealis

New York, August 26-Telephone and
telegraph service throughout the country
was seriously crippled tonight by the au-
rora borealis, described by officials of the
companies in this city as perhaps the
most depressing on wire circuits in many
years.
The disturbance, according to the Off
Gals, was first observed about Z p. nj.
BY midnight, it was said, the service of
the telegraph companies east of Chicago
and as far west as Minneapolis was only
about so per cent normal. Southern cir
cults were slightly affected.
It was explained that in some instances
the foreign battery caused by earth cur
rents ranged from rs volts positive to
rs volts negative. At Minneapolis where,
it was said, the sky was unusually bright,
telegraph and telephone circuits virtually
were put out of commission for several
hours
The fact that wires running east and
west suffered more than those travelling
in a southern direction was attributed to
parallel earth currents.

New Bird Protection
Law Is Now in Effect

Montgomery, August 27.-(Special)
State Game and Fish Commissioner
John H Wallace, Jr., has received
from the bureau of biological survey,
Washington, copy of the regulatio
under the federal migratory bird law,
which becomes effective August 81.
Alabama is situated in what is known
as the wintering zone and prior to
their northern migratory flight the
season has been opened upon migratory
water fowl and birds during these
months, in which these migrants are
found in the greatest numbers in the
various states comprising zone 2.
The regulations affecting this Sec
ton of the country are as follows:
Waterfowl Except swans and wood
ducks), coots, gallinules and jack
snipe:

BUYING MOVEMENT
IN IRON EXTENDING
Domestic Sales Are G0iisss,
Ahead of Foreign and
Prices Advance

New York, August pa substantial
buying movement in pig iron, foreshad-
owed a week ago, is extending over
the country. Already sales of 100000
tons have been made by merchant fur
naces for shipment over the balance
of this year and the first half of 1917.
In the last few days quiet sales OF
100000 tons, previously made, have
come to the surface. About two-thirds
of the contracts placed were for steel
making iron and the increased activ-
ity has carried prices of basic upward
so cents per ton with a further adj
vance anticipated. Indications are that
August contracts will develop the
heaviest monthly tonnage since April,
when 100000 tons were sold.
Export business, outside sales to
Canada, has not been important, al
though $4,000 tons or more are under
inquiry The largest tonnage is want
ed for italy. All European business
is in allegiance because of EXCEPTIONAL
ly high ocean freight rates current.
Domestic consumers of STEEL while
buying more freely, are more or less
cautious
Automobile manufacturers are still
buying blue annealed sheets literally
and packers and Gamers are urgent-
ly in the market for tin plate for de-
livery over the first quarter of next
year.

Children Not Empty
From the New Republic.

L rom the view ttepuDllC
The pseudo-sci of education I'M
der which most of US were brought up
assumed that children were empty ves-
sells to be filled by knowledge. Teach
ers and parents still feel that to cut
down an arithmetic hour to As minutes
is to deprive the child of a fourth of
his education, But children are not
empty vessels, nor are they automotic
machines which can be wound up and
set running on track by the teacher.
They are pushing wills and desires and
curiosities. They are living, growing
things, and they need nothing so much
as a. place where they can grow. They
live as wholes far more than older
people do, and they cannot be made to
become minds and minds alone for four
or five hours a day-that is, without
qualification. The school forgets that
we are only accidentally intellectual,
that our other impulses are far more
imperious. Because teacher can secure
outward order, it does not mean that
she has harmonized the child's person
atty. She has not the least clue to riot
or apathy or delusion that may be go
ing on inside him. She may easily be-
come a drill sergeant, but she must not
think that she has thereby become an
educational scientist.

Unruffled

From the New York Post.
There is a story of a Scot who DIS
anneared in crevasse in the Alps.
His comrades could do nothing FOR
him. but presently large party with
guides appeared, and prepared to res
cue the unfortunate man.
A famous guide was lowered 90 Feet
into the crevasse, and sounds OF con-
yersation presently floated up. In a
little while the guide appeared alone.
He had found the Scot sitting on
some soft snow with a broken leg,
coolly smoking cigar, and no less
coolly refusing to be rescued until he
had bargained as to the coss OF the
operation friend of his had been
badly had over a job OF the same
sort, and he was determined to stay
there till he came to terms.
He won.
But perhaps the professor who went
with Shackleton and Mawson to the
Antarctic takes the cake for GOODNESS.
Are you busy, Mawson?" he called
out to that famous member of the
party one night
81 am said Mawson.
Very busy, really?" came the voice.
Eyes. yery busy. Why?"
well if you are not frightfully
busy, Mawson, I'm down a crevasse."
The professor was found hanging
down a crevasse by the tips of his
fingers. a position he could not have
maintained many minutes, and the
creyasse was of unknown depth!

COTTON MARKET IS
VERY ACTIVE NOW
Past Week Sees Highest
Prices in Z Years on Strong
Buying Movement

New Orleans, August 27.-The heaV-
lest trading and widest advances in
months and the highest prices in about
seven years featured the local cot
ton market last week. A general buy
ing movement developed on small
crop talk and large short interest
was driven to cover. Beginning with
the opening of the week the market
made new high levels for the season
and for several seasons past, on ev-
cry session, even including Saturday,
when prices were held within bounds
by the general disposition to take prof
it's on long contracts.
At the highest of the week trading
months were 140 to LAG points over
the previous weeks final quotations.
The week closed at net gain of 1876
to 1873 points. The March option was
sent to 15.91c and all new crop months
traded over the lucent level. Spots
advanced 11S points, or more than SIS
a bale, to 1870 for middling.
The continued drouth in Oklahoma
and bullish forecasts of the forthcom-
ing condition report from the gov
eminent were surface features which
stimulated buying to considerable
extent. The strength of the Liverpool
market was continual source of en-
enlargement to bullish traders on this
side of the water but the main idea
back of the buying movement was
that the crop now coming to ma
turity will not be large enough to
supply the wants of the world, even
should the war continue. The counter
argument from the bear side was that
already high prices were checking con-
sumption.
