bridge across the Clearwater and has
a servicable road all the way to the
new dam Excavation for the structure
will begin in a short time The neces-
sary machinery including hoists and con.

hauled to the plant. Teamsters are now
busy hauling concrete over the new
road for use in the dam. Bunk houses
for the accommodation of about fifty

How soon will the Germans raid
New York from sea and sky7
The best American authorities on
sea and air fighting have been say
ing for months we must expect such
raid.
There is nothing impossible, or even
difficult, about it in their eyes. Whcn
the Deutschland came and went with
her merchandise, when the U-53 paid
her respects to Newport and sank
shipping off the coast, the ability Of
the Germans to bring the war to the
shores Of America was proved.
Germany saw England take more
than two years to get both feet into
the war. She expected America to
take longer. The kaiser and his ad-
visers conceived the shrewdest tao
tics to the restraint of military meas
ures against America, in the hope
that Americans would not take the
war seriously, and would be enemies
nominally, instead of with dangerous
reality.
The scehme didn't work. The Amer
lean spirit started at once To put In
its best licks. This nation did in two
months what took England two years
and more, and what the English COL
onies have not yet accomplished.
Germany knows now it is war to
the knife. Can terror impede Ameri-
can war making where softness fail
ed. It's the next card.-Evening

PREPARATIONS BEING
MADE TO ENTRAIN ARMY
(By George Martin.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. g.
While Americas hundred million
men, women and children planned
farewell celebrations for the first
206, 100 drafted men who start camp
ward Wednesday, the 1857 local
boards today continued the toll of
actually getting them started.
The lists are practically complete.
The men have been notified of the
oxact hour to report.
Following receipt Of strict orders
from the government that the full
quota of each board must cntrain
for camp September if possible.
each board is notifying five alter
mates to report with the drafted
group.
"These five men," said the official
order. "are intended to serve is case
any of the men notified fail to re-
port, and in order that the local board
may not be placed in the position Of
failing to entrain the exact number
of men called for, with the prompt
ness and precision that should char
acterize all matters relating to the
formation of the armies Of the Unit
ed States"
This means that the 1857 local
boards will have on hand 22,785 ex-
ira men to take the places Of pos
sible absentees in the regular lists.
Prompt search will be instituted
for the man who fails to appear. One
Of the alternates will be entered on
the lists in his place and sent to

NOW THE NEW NATIONAL
ARMY WILL BE FED
(By George Martin.l

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81
On the march or encamped on hikes,
the soldiers Of the New National
army won't fare so sumptiously as in
cantonment. Still they will have lots
more three times a day than some
folks in Germany are getting.
Also he will have to take care Of
his own mess kit. No dining room
orderly will set his table with knife,
fork, spoon, plate. cup and saucer.
He will have to take those things
in hand, line up before the serving
kettles, take his meals wherever be
likes to eat it and wash his indivi-
dual dinner dishes afterward.
He will have to wash them proper
ly too. If he comes up for inspec-
tion with greasy spoon or some
thing, he will be punished.
Nor will eating his meals be the
pleasure it is in permanent camps.
He will have to learn the rudiments
of Juggling and something of the art
of culinary acrobatics. Balancing a
plate Of beef and beans, a lineup Of
coffee and a knife, fork and spoon
while choosing a smooth, hard spot
somewhere on the Landscape for a
dinner table is no snap.
In temporary camp there will be
no time for fancy breakfasts. II
he gets fried bacon, boiled potatoes,
bread and coffee he may count him
self lucky.
For lunch, the chances are. he will
get canned corn beef, or fried bacon
or canned salmon, cold canned toma-
toes, hard or fresh bread and coffee
For dinner he will most likely get
canned soup, boiled or roast beef
mashed potatoes, peas, corn or sue
cotash, bread and coffee. Mostly
canned stuff and hastily, tho prop
erly prepared, but with not attempt
at style.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. g.
Americas first national army is ac-
tually in the making today.
Four thousand, five hundred and
fifty-seven local exemption boards
thruout the land plunged into the
task of mobilizing the first shipment
of 34,340 drafted soldiers to camp.
Only white men will be sent to the
camps on September s.
This first increment will be five
per cent of the $4,000 men drafted.
Between now and September each
local board will select. gather in
groups at exemption board head
quarters and finally certify the men.
On September S they will put a
drafted man in charge of each group,
entrain them and send them ON their
way to learn to battle the Boche.
Routings and entrainments, accord
ing to the present plan, will be sec
ret. All the local boards have is
their order to have their quota of
men at the specified cantonment
camps at certain time.
They are making their own plans
for the hour and place of entrain-
ment.
Notices to the men selected by each
local board to go first are being
mailed or have been mailed to the
men. Lists of drafted men in this
first group are also being posted at
exemption board headquarters.
They are being ordered to report in
person to the local board for "mili-
tary duty" at fixed hour named by
the board, which shall be not more
than "a hours nor less than IL hours
before the hour for entrainment.
From the moment the drafted man
receives this notice he is actually in
the military service of the United
States. Posting of lists and mailing
of notices to each man called up con-
stitute legal notice, and if the man
doesn't get it or fails to report, he
must answer before military court
if the local board so directs.
If the local board is convinced that
the man did his best to answer the
call, it can exonerate him. If the
board feels the man is to blame for
not reporting, it can place him un-
der military arrest and place the de-
tails of his case before the proper
army officer. The man will then be
subject to trial and punishment be-
fore a military court.
The second group will be made up
of 40 per cent of each boards quo
Ia and will be mobilized September
10 and the four days following. An
other 40 per cent will be modified
October 8, and the balance as soon
after as possible.
