MANY MAY BE REJECTED


IL Is expected that many of the An
napolis Guards will return home in a
short time by reason of physical dis
qualifications.
Over so per cent. of the men of the
Fourth and Fifth Regiments have been
rejected because of physical defects.
The majority, examining surgeons said
yesterday. they were under weight. had
bad teeth or dfctiv vision.
Otherwise, they say. they were fine
husky-looking men, with stout hearts
and strong desire to fight wherever
Uncle Sam wanted them to fight. The
surgeons were strict. Men with liquor
breaths were told that they could not
enlist. To be accepted, man apply
i1rg for enlistment had to be at least
five feet and four inches tall and tip
; the scales at not less than 125 pounds
The requirement as to weight varid
with the height above the minimum.
The sight test is severe. The SOL
der must be able to read small print
at a distance of fifteen feet. All
marks and tattoos about the body were
noted and recorded on the enlistment
papers together with the name, age.
address, general physical condition
and hundred and one other things
the War Department insisted upon
knowing about a man who was to be
given rifle and sent out for a hard
siege at the front.
This in brief, is what the men had
to go through with at the armories be-
fore the recruiting officers swore them
in with the dull oath, vowing allie
glance to the State and nation, the
Constitution and "all laws made i'll
pursuance thereof"
But that did not end it, for every
man will have to be examined all over
again after reaching the mobilization
camp and before he is accepted by the
Federal Government. Every officer
and man who goes to camp will have
to be examined
Under the present Instructions"
reads general order from the War
Department. two examinations are
provided for. The first will be con-
Quoted at the home station. where the
men will be examined not only for
physical defects, but for evidences of
infectious or contagious diseases as
well. At the mobiliZatiCn camp the
men will again be examined at which
time complete record will be made
of the examinations"
Surgeons said the rules were strict
in this respect because of desire to
keep down sickness while in the serv-
ice and to save the Government the
expense of heavy pension rolls after
the war.
1t is expected that as soon as the
units get into camp the brigade sur
geons will be examined and mustered
into the service of the United States.
Then they will set to work on the Of
ficers and enlisted men. How many of
the old members of the Guard, who
have not been examined since their
last enlistment or appointment,will get
through satisfactorily is matter that
is actually causing concern to many
who are anxious to go to the front
One regimental surgeon said yes
terday that he was afraid 25 per cent.
of the old men would be turned down
unless the War Department relaxed its
rule. This would mean that many
more raw recruits" for the officers
to whip into shape before the brigade
is ordered to the border.

M'CUMBER BACK
. TO WAGE CAMPAIGN
Says Republican Drift in the East
Is Toward Hughes for Pres
ident.
SEES VISION OF BIG
REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Thinks Last Note to Germany
Will Settle for All Time the
Submarine Warfare.

Fargo, N. d., May 4.-United States
Senator Porter J. McCumber returned
to North Dakota today personally to
conduct his campaign for renomina
tion as republican candidate for Unit
ed States senator. He expects tt
spend all The time remaining until
the primary election. within this state
having aired on all important ques
tions that are likely to arise during
the next eight weeks.
Senator McCumber comes home
with the impression that "the drift
among republicans in the east is to-
ward Justice Hughes for president
and he has no doubt that Hughes, if
nominated, will accept.
Senator McCumber believes, too
that Hughes nomination would mean
republican victory in the general elec.
ton. There is amC ng republicans of
all types an elrrest effort to get to-
gether, and he believes the coming re.
publican convention will be real get

satisfied with the choice of candidate
and with methods employed in making
such choice.
AS to the German-American situa-
ton, Senator McCumber anticipates a
satisfactory agreement between this
country and the central empire. This
agreement is likely to be based on
Secretary Lansing's statement to the
press, that submarine boats must fol-
low the same warfare rules that are
followed by battle cruisers, rather
than complete abandonment of the U
boat campaign. Wilson's message to
congress and his note to Germany
failed to afford Germany an opportun-
ity to determine just what the United
States demanded, said Mr.. McCumber,
maintaining that the nCte was without
point so far as any actual demand is
concerned. Eastern newspaper writer's
soon discovered this and that fact was
responsible for Secretary Lansing's
statement.

Secretary Of State Refused to AL.
low Handling of Petitions
Yesterday.
MUST BE TABULATED
., BEFORE BEING SEEN
Governor Hanna Recommends
Placing Petitions in Charge
of One Man.

After some 600 names had been
copied off the New Rockford capital
removal petitions yesterday morning,
by stenographers sent to the capitol
by the Bismarck Taxpayers Protective
league, the secretary of state refused
to allow any more names to be copied
and stated that the petitions would be
kept under lock and key until they
had been properly tabulated by his
office. .,..
The taxpayers league was anxious
to verify number of the signatures,
and for this reason were desirOus of
securing names from the various coun-
ty petitions. The action of the secre-
tary of state, however, precludes all
possibility of this before next Monday,
the last day on which petitions can be
filed At the same time it is not too
late for signers to have their names
stricken from the lists, and it is ru-
mOred that a great many names will
be withdrawn before next Monday.
"Guard" for Petitions.
Aller tnc secretary OF Stdte feluSeu
to allow the petitions to be seen, an
informal conference was held among
several of the state officers, and the
question discussed unotticially. Gov
Hanna recommended that the petit
tions be placed in charge of one man,
so that anyone who cared to could
look them over under the eyes of the
man in charge could do so.
This suggestion was not followed,
however, and the petitions will remain
a closed book, as it were, until after
they have been completely tabulated
and arranged by the secretary of
state.
Voters who signed the petitions are
urged, however, to withdraw their
names before next Monday. A signed
request addressed to the secretary o.
state is all That IS necessary for that
purpose. Names can be withdrawn ut
any time up to next Monday, the last
day for filing. r

AUTHORIZED TO EXCHANGE
FORMAL ACCEPTANCES

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Although
there was no formal announcement Of
the action, notification that the Scott
Obregon agreement is acceptable to
the American government was tele-
graphed to Gen. Scott at Ell PasO to-
day by Secretary Baker. Gen. Scott
is authorized to exchange formal ac-
ceptances with Gen. Obregon as soon
as the latter has obtained the APPROX
al of Gen. Carr q, and officials here

ment:
'I have examined with the Secre-
tary of war the report made by Gen.
Hugh L. Scott, of the conference be-
tween him and Gen. Obregon, secre-
tary of war of the Republic of Mexico.
"The report includes tentative
agreement covering the future opera
tons of both the American and Mexi-
can forces and evidences cordial CO.
operation between the govern
ments in their common purpose.
Gas this agreement is being sub
mitted to the de facto government in
Mexico, it would not be proper for me
to permit it's publication until that
government has had opportunity to
examine and consider its provisions.
The full text of the proposed agree
ment will be given out Immediately
on it's acceptance by both govern
ments. In general, l may sa that it
provides basis for cooperation and
which promises TO prevent misunder-
standing and strengthen the cordial
relations of the two republics"

Purchase of
Danish Isles
Up Again

Washington, May 4.-Several visits
of Constantin Brun, the Danish minis
ter, to the state department for ex'
tended conferences with Secretary
Lansing have given color to a report
in circulation for some time past that
the American government has renew
ed the negotiations which have been
conducted at various times and at
long intervals during the past 20
years, looking to the cession Of the
Danish West Indian islands, St. Thorn
as, ST. Croix and St. John, to the
United States.
Both Secretary Lansing and Minis
ter Brun positively refused to discuss
the subject, but it is recognized that
such an attitude would Of necessity
be observed, in the initial stages Of
any negotiations of this kind.
Intimations have come to Washing
ton recently that II" Danish govern
ment itself, embarrassed by serious
labor troubles which have occurred in
the West Indies, resulting in curtail.
ment of revenue and making neces'
sary appropriation by the home gov
ernment, would not be adverse to the
reopening Of the negotiations for the
cessation of the group.
