TO FORM TULSA BOYS
IN PATRIOTIC LEAGUE
O. S. Burkholder, Y. M. c. A

Novel Idea Here.

A patriotic league for boys OF Tulsa
In the scheme OF q. $. Burkholder,
boys work secretary Of the Young
Mems Christian association. who has
recently returned from Lake Geneva,
wis. where the idea OF IA national or
sanization for boys was ha,ched by
association secretaries from all parts
Of the country who were gathered
there.
The local movement would be Il
anti In the national effort, which will
be promulgated thru the Y VI. G. A.
ana other agencies into every corner
of the nation. The simple purpose OF
the organization is to provide a means
by which every loyal American boy
can do his bit for his country and do
that bit In concerted effort, which
will count for great deal
While the plan is yet in Its infancy
thoro instructions for the fostering of
such n movement N locar communi-
ties were impaired Ito the Y NJ G. a.
secretaries as they met In summer
session at Lake Geneva. The line OF
procedure will be TO create Local
leagues first and to mobilize the ef
fort into national scope NJ n later

To Harvest Fields.
One of the most important methods
by which the boys will be given an OPP
portunity to aid In the national crisis
is to send them to the harvest fields
This will not be done In h9pha2nrd
manner. The distribution Of the boys
will be supervised by Y NJ, G. A. sec
retaries. wherever possible they will
stay In camps near the seat OF action

guardians
This idea comes from Now York
and other eastern states whore young
high school boys are being used In
great numbers tn take the place of
enlisted and drafted men. Surprised
farmers who formerly were skepticNI
as to the ability Of city" boys In tho
harvest fiNts are asking for more

with the situation.
Efficient "FOrcmcn."
The lads In this way can earn as
much II not more money than they
could In the city. They will be en-
gagged I'm healthy occupation and
will be supervised by efficient guard
ans wherever possible.
During tho winter II is planned tc
furnish various activities. such as bls.
ket- weaving. by which the Toys c1r
work off their patriotic ardor. In ad-
dition meetings will be held for the
purpose OF instruction along warl!kC

WASHINGTON, July 30-A new
list of press regulations. making ma
terial changes In the voluntary cen
sorship rules under which American
newspapers have been operating, was
promulgated tonight by the commit
tee on public Information. The new
regulations contain the first general
request that there be no published
mention of the arrival of American
troops at European ports, replacing
in that respect an express authorize
ton in the old rules for use of any
cable dispatches passed by the Eu-
ropean censors.
other sections Of the old regulations
are made more severe by specific
stipulations In place of general Ian
guage. Information which the gov
ernment considered might reveal mill
tary movements or policies is de-
scribed in detail.
In the statement announcing new
regulations, George Creel, chairman
of the committee. says that repeated
and serious violations Of the volun-
tary censorship have been attempted
to be excused on the score of misun-

The instances in which the most
serious charges OF violations have
been made, however. have not re-

them implicitly. These INSTANCES

JOIN THE RED CROSS.

There is a service for every man
and women in America in the great
world war into which we have en-
tered for the sake of humanity and
Democracy.
1t will not be the privilege Of all
men to carry gun into the trenches
in Europe, nor will it fall to the lot
of many of our women to minister
to the wounded.
We cannot all enlist as soldiers or
as nurses, but we all can enroll our
selves in an army which has done and
is today doing more for humanity
than any other organization extant,-
The American Red Cross.
Every enrolment in the Red Cross
is a contribution toward saving the
life Of one OF our own boys who may
be wounded on the battle fields of
Europe or nursing back to health
some poor starved mother or baby
of Belgium, France or Poland.
Can You let your boy go into
the European trenches in this mod
ern crusade for humanity without be-
coming a member of this organiza-
tion of mercy whose principal aim is
to guard him, and to nurse him?
Will you let your neighbor's boy
go out and face the shells, the gas
and the flame to fight for you and
not at least contribute to the organi-
zation which will nurse him back to
health if wounded?
Do your bit and do it now. Join

QUOTAS FOR DRAFT
Missouri Must Furnish 1860 Men
and Kansas 6A3o.

Washington, July I3.-The toll o.
manhood that each state must furnish
to Americas citizen army was an.
nounced by the War Department to-
day -... ..
The figures are based upon a first
draft of $4,000 men. In assigning
the quota of each state the War De-
partment used the federal census
population estimates.
New York leads all others with Co.
24I. Oregon is asked to yield the
least, ~. Missouri will furnish 49,
go men and Kansas 66,43o
Many of the Western states quotas
are unusually low because the regis
tration was only so to 80 per cent OF
the first estimates of the census bu-
reau. Other states in the Middle
West-Ohio. Wisconsin, Illinois-ran
over the estimates by 10 to 70 per
cent. Hawaii has already furnished
its full quota to the national guard
and regular army.
The quotas were sent to the gov
ernors of each state and territory
and the commissioners of the District
of Columbia, who were directed TO
apportion the quotas through the dis
trict exemption boards. Allowance is
made for men in each state in the ma
tional guard and recruits in the reg
Hlar army since April I. The credits
were subtracted from the gross
quota. In this way states that have
the Presidents call for vol
unteers will carry a lighter burden
than the other states.
Missouri's net quota of men will be
1900 :.
The total strength of the national
guard April I. 1917, was r64,9o7, and
1870 men were enlisted between
April and June 90. The total of re-
cruits for the regular army between
April and June 90 was 1894, or a
grand total Of 46s,o8s men.
This means that, according to the
estimates Of the government officials,
the United States now has enrolled
Or under arms approximately 6ooooo
men in the regular army and national
guard. The navy and marine corps |
have more than 10000 men.
