American Opera Nuartet
Coming to the Chautauqua

THIS is the fourth season the Amer
i ican Opera Quartet has sung on
Lincoln circuits. MFR. Hamilton,
the tenor, created a sensation a few
years ago when a wealthy southern
lady discovered him and sent him to
Chicago to study music. Mr.. Joel Moss
berg. the big Swedish baritone, does
lyceum concert work in the winter as
a soloist. His voice is as big and pow
erful as he Is, and he Is a six footer.
He sings Italian, French. Swedish and
English. Chicago music critics say he
is a great artist, and the people In the
small towns request his return over
and over again.
When these artists sang on the In
diana circuit Of the Lincoln Chautau-
quas they found 1t very hard to give
all their evening program because Of
the many requests for repetitions OF
the afternoon numbers. Sometimes
they were compelled to give nearly the
entire afternoon program over again
at night, using the regular evening
numbers as encores.
The last half Of their evening pro-
gram is THE Bohemian Girl" which
includes Then You'll Remember Me-
and II Dreamt ! Dwelt In Marble
Halls"
Miss Lois Johnston, soprano. and
Miss Mildred Smith, contralto, are real
artists, giving fine balance to this
quartet. They come the last day.

the organization of the first new
army From it, also, early in Sep
TENDER will be drawn some 100000
officers and non-commissioned Off
GERS who will constitute the frame
work on which the new army will be
shaped.
They will, with the ten thousand
officers to be selected from the train
ing camps, be the instructors of the
army, and on their efficiency rests the
whole military fabric that is to be
built up.
In general the plan will be to pro-
vide a regular army officer to COM
mand each new regiment with an adj
equate number of regular or national
guard officers of experience to carry
on efficiently the administrative duties
and to supervise instruction.
During the interval between regis
tration and the calling out of the new
army, the regular and national guard
divisions will be at work preparing
the mobilization camps and their own
training. To them also is to fall the
duty of protecting public and private
property. The commander of each
training district probably will direct
this work under the orders of the
commander of the military depart
ment in which his camp is located.

three months left before the August

be said to be warming up throughout

the adoption of the new state primary
law. Not for many years have so
many candidates announced for
the nomination for the various Of
fees and interest is keen in nearly
every contest TO be run of in each of
the 100 counties in the state.
Developments Of the past week in
dictate that the Beckham-Haly wing
of the democratic party, which is now
out of power and is arrayed against
the Stanley state administration in its
efforts to come back" into power,
is taking more than lively interest
in what is going on and intends to
play every angle in the game to cause
trouble to the state administration
crowd, " hich is in the saddle in most
Of the counties and legislative dis
tricts. Frequent conferences of the
out-faction ave been held lately in
Louisville and it is learned that these
were for the purpose of organizing
for the coming primary. Co-inci-
dentally with these gatherings new
candidates, friendly TO that faction,
have come out for various Offices, es-
pecially State Senator and Represent
alive in the Legislature, and it is also
known that every efiolt will be made
to choose members of the next gen.
eral assembly who will be thorn in
the side of Governor Stanley.

An Interpretation similarly rigid has

Boards to BE @ict.

District boards throughout the coun-
try have been instructed to make the
governments action their guide in
dealing with claims for exemption of
men in private employment. An en-
ployer seeking exemption for a man
he considers indispensable must first
make a showing in regard to that
business. He must prove to the boards 8
satisfaction that his industry is neces-
sary to the public interest or to the
maintenance of the military establish
ment and supplement this showing
with affidavits stating that the par
ticular individual is indispensable to
the industry.
Reports to the provost marshal gen.
eral have indicated that wholesale at
tempts to evade the draft through the
dependency clause of the regulations
are in progress additional cautions
sent to district boards in regard to in
dustrial exemptions, it is hoped will
forestall similar attempts as that
stage of proceeding is reached.

Dear Mr.. Reynolds:
There are twelve counties still in
the state which have the ability to
give and which have subscribed little
or nothing toward the Red Cross fund
AS a result there has developed many
Criticisms and remonstrances f'om Gao
counties which raised the amount, or
a good portion of it, that President
Wilson asked fors therefore it has
seemed advisable for me during the
next few days to visit these counties
who either do not appreciate the need
or understood by the Gazette article
that the fund was oversubscribed,
therefore in communities where Chapt-
ers and AuXiliaries might be organiz-
ed to inaugurate and conduct a cam
paign that will accomplish all that
might be desired.
First: Secure subscriptions to War
Fund
Second: Secure the 500 members
required in order to organize.
Third. Effect an organization
fully equipped, completing the whole
campaign in one day through expert
intensive organization. This will mean
short, sharp, quick work on the part
of all patriotic citizens we'll worth
While.
In order to do this the following in
structions muct be carried out quick
