The Marseillaise
As told by a distinguished

As told by distinguished
French woman, liberated from
the invaded region of France.
Translated for the Outlook by
Dorothy Garfield.
THE schools have kept on you know
every teacher at her post, not a
day missed (even when the town was
bombarded). Every year the examin-
atoms have been set--they use old
examination papers sent from Paris
before the war-and diplomas have
been given. And besides that, at
home we have tried our best to keep
the life of our children what the
life of French children ought to be.
81 remember last year, turing the
summer Aunt Louise taught a group
Of children in our part Of the town
to sing the 'Marseillaise.' The studio
of my cousin Jean is at the back of
the house and high up, so that she
thought the children's voices could
not be heard from the street. The
mayor heard of what she was doing
and sent word that he would like to
hear them sing. The news spread
around rapidly. When he arrived
with the city council, coming in one
by one, as though merely to make a
call, they found the big studio full to
overlooking with their fellow citizens
the old men and women who are
all the fellow citizens left there
There must have been two or three
hundred of them, the most represent
alive people of the town, all in black,
all so silent, so old and sad. The
children were quite abashed by such
an audience, and filed up on the little
platform shyly-our poor, thin, shah

iren's voices should be heard in the Q
street, after all. Suppose the Ger i
nan police should enter and find us q
assembled thus. 1t would mean hor- S

A pure bred Holstein bull calf was
sold twice at auction at the fan
grounds Friday for the benefit of the
Boise Red Cross, says the Capital

was sold for $3.50. The $3.50 was
given to the Red Cross of Boise. This
is the fifth time this calf has been
sold during the past two weeks as a
benefit to the Red Cross, and total

entire nation was 6S7 1000 men. Cen
eral Crowder has ordered each state to
add 10 per cent to it's quota to make
allowances for sickness and disability
during training. These additions make
755, TOO men to be summoned
Under Army Control.
The method for sending the first 251,-
300 men to camp will be announced
shortly. Whether excursion trains will
be run has not been determined. But
each conseript will be furnished trans
portation to his mobilization point and
thence to the camp where he is to be
trained.
Mobilization regulations are now In
the hands of the government printer.
They cover many pages and provide
for every contingency.
The regulations provide that each
state shall mobilize its own quota at a
designated point, provide the men with
transportation from that point to the
training camps, supply them with sub
sistence Of cash Communication therefor
for the trip and supply them with tele-
graphic blanks with which to report
the time Of their arrival to the camp
commander at least six hours before
they are due to arrive.
These men will be regarded as hav-
ing passed into the federal service and
therefore under army regulations the
moment they board the traA for the
training camps.
Provision also is made for filing va
cancies in the quota of each state that
may be caused by the subsequent re-
lection of any drafted men when given
their second physical examination by
the army urgeons In such cases the
district boards will be notified and
must furnish additional men. No
states quota will be regarded as filed
until these extra men are supplied.
Rules on Wives Who Work.
Wives who worked In Offices and fac
tories before marriage should seek en-
ployment in industry again, releasing
their husbands for army service.
This was an official suggestion of the
provost marshal generals Office sup
~plementing General Crowders ruling
that when the wife is assured reason
ably adequate support" the husband
should not be exempted On the ground
Of dependents.
Officials would not define "%reasona-

with conditions and that the local ex-
emption boards would have to decide

Double Concert Being Considered

The semi-weekly rehearsals of the
Wildwood Chorus are producing excel
lent results and the promises of a con-
cert far superior to any previous con-
certs. are becoming brighter everyday.
The noted "Gallia" and the cantata
"May Day" will be the climax of the
evening and although difficult they are
being mastered by the chorus which is
responding nobly to Mr.. Pfeiffer's
efforts. In response to requests and
urgings from all sides, the chorus Is
seriously considering two concerts, Sat-
urday and Sunday evening, instead of
the usual single concert and II a snf-
ficient amount of support is given by
interested parties it can be made a
feature of supreme valuei in our closing
festivities. The singers are giving their
time at rehearsals and are willing to
give two concerts, 30 we cannot expect
them to go out and do all the work,
such as making arrangements, adver-
Using, selling tickets, etc., to make the
two concerts a possibility and the re-
sponsibility rests on others. The sup
port of one concert Is considered by
many cities as a stupendous under
taking, but we have amply supported
Single concerts before and now is the
time for larger efforts. There can be
nc more effective answer to the critic
isms of the musical training, the enter
tainment committee has given us
through the orchestra than a double
concert, which would not boost our city
this year, but be a strong argument to
get our orchestra again next year, for
orchestra and chorus are so closly inter-
woven that one cannot live without
the other in the hearts of the music
lovers of Wildwood.

Especial Correspondence

uRshiagton.-Wsth the fd1u contros
bill out of the way, congress will now
devote all of its time to consideration
OF the revenue measure which has been
reported on the floor of the senate by
the finance committee, of which Sen
ator Simmons of North Carolina is
chairman. The Tar Heel senator will
engineer the measure for the admins
tration. Debate on this bill is expected
to consume several weeks, as there are
SO many interests affected and so many
phases of the measure that hundreds
of opinions must be advanced and Ell
Their accepted or rejected.
The passage of the food control bill
in the form that 1t has become law
meets with the approval of President
Wilson. All Of the features which he
wanted were embodied and all he op.
posed were omitted. The bill gives
broad powers to the president. 1t
makes 1t unlawful to destroy or waste
foodstuffs or exact excessive prices for
them. 1t provides that boarded neces-
saries may be seized; authorizes the
president to requisition supplies or to
buy and sell wheat, -four, meal, beans
and potatoes. It authorizes the presi-
dent to requisition and operate any
factory or packing house. to prevent
speculation, etc.
The bill also fixes a minimum price
for wheat Of 50 per bushel. The pro-
hibition features r drastic. The
prohibits the use of food,
fruits, etc, In manufacture Of distilled
beverages, leaving to the presidents
discretion the quantities 10 be used In
beer and wine. It appropriates $162,-
100000 for the general administration
of the act.
With this measure out Of the way
and Herbert G. Hoover directing the
steps to be taken following the passage.
1t is expected that the desired results
will be quickly forthcoming.
Aside from consideration of impor-
TAM legislation last week, Washington
was busy with the draft measure.
Hundreds of questions asked by local
boards have raised complex questions,
and Provost Marshal Crowder has
made many important decisions.
251,900 Men Called For Sept. I.
A total Of 755, 700 men will be called
to the colors in the first increment of
the national army.
OF this number one-third, or 251,900
conscripts, will begin entraining for
mobilization points on Sept. / The
subsequent movement of this first
quarter Of a million men to training
camps will occupy five days. Active
military training will begin Sept. 6.
To obtain these men rapidly enough
Provost Marshal General Crowder has
called upon the governor of each of the
states to urge local boards to certify
their lists with expedition, so that at
least one-third of the names will be
ready in time. The states, therefore,
have about two weeks to complete one
third of the draft.
