Private Ferguson, in a dream In

once more In the charge in which
he lost his speech as result OF
shell shock.
He saw the incidents of the
battle re-enacted, and dreamed
that q big German was towering
over him about to run him
through with his bayonet. The
excitement of the dream was suf-
heient to cause Ferguson to raise
himself In his bed and shout
aloud. He knew then that he
had recovered his speech, and
was naturally overjoyed. In con-

WOULD RAISE FUND
HERE TO COMFORT
DISTRICTS OWN

To have Washington conscripts at
Camp Meade taken care Of by Wash.
ington people is the aim OF a move
ment that will start today, following
a meeting called by Commissioner
Brownlow at his office yesterday
afternoon, at which a representative
of the 312th Machine Gun Battalion,
which is composed of District men,
told a group of business and news
papermen OF the things needed to
make the Districts soldiers at Camp
Meade happy and contented.
1t Is the plan to raise a fund among
people of the District in order to pro-
vide with a gymnasium and other
camp comforts the battalion at Camp
Meade, which has dubbed itself The
Districts own" Commissioner Brown
low and A. Leftwich Sinclair, presi-
dent of the Washington Chamber
OF Commerce, form a committee to
secure the approval OF the adjutant
general, for the project, and to see
that the fund to be raised does not
conflict with any of the other funds
that are being raised for the sol
diers by various organizations.
Appeal Is Issued.
''The men at Camp Meade want to
feel that they are being thought Of
by their own home folks" It was said.
There should be some concerted
movement among the people of the
District to provide their own soldiers
with all they can to make camp life
comfortable and agreeable. The main
thing they need is a gymnasium OF
the kind that could be built for COM
paratively little money, yet would
serve a great purpose. The men also
want reading matter and several 9th
er things to make their life more
pleasant.
"As soon as a working plan IL ar
ranged, those in charge in Washing
ton will get in touch with the senior
captain at Camp Meade in order that
the best disposition of the money can
be determined"
The entire group expressed them
selves as being heartily in favor OF
the proposed plan. Major Pullman.
who was present, pledged his support.
Commissioner Brownlow himself was
unable to attend the meeting, but
telephoned that he was in full accord
with the movement, and was willing
to help in every way possible.
Another meeting will be called IN
Commissioner Brownlow's office at
an early date when more complete
and definite plans for raising the
fund will be perfected.

RAFTAB[E MEN
TO Be GROUPED
IN NEW SYSTEM

New draft regulations postponing
the physical examination OF the re-
naming 1000, 900 draft registr6nts
until they are called for military
service and assigning the men to fvs
classes, determining the order of their
call to the colors, were announced By
Provost Marshal General Crowder to-
day.
Under the new regulations, II will
be possible for q registrant TO deter
mine whether he will be called IN the
frst 100000 additional men to be
summoned, the second 100000, or later
contingents.
systen In NubheII.
Here IL the new system in . nut
shell:
Five classes Of draft registrants
are established approximately as fol-
lows:
First-Men with absolutely no de-
pendents.
second-Skilled farm laborers or
others slightly less available for MILL
tary service than the arst class
Third-Skilled laborers and men
Industries.
Fourth-Married men with children
whose families are wholly dependent
upon them for support
Fifth-Cripples, mental detectives,
and those specifically exempted from
military service &c..
Registrants will be assigned TO one
of these classes from detailed In
formation they furnish local boards
in reply to a form of questions sub
mitted to them
Right Of Appeal
Then they have the right to appeal
to be placed in q lower class. After
such appeals are passed on by the
district board, or II no appeal IL
made, their status is officially nxsd.

Should Be Supported.

The movement should receive the
heartiest backing. 1t represents
much more even than the very i'm
portant work of providing amuse-
ments for the hundreds Of thousands
of enlisted men in the various camps,
for It also has to deal with the moral
and sanitary surroundings, not only
in camps, but in the nelghboring
towns and cities.
In former wars the number Of men
incapacitated by diseases contracted
in the camps often surpassed the
number incapacitated by the sickness
due to the hardships and exposure at
the front. This was because of lax
supervision of the neighborhood
moral and sanitary conditions and
also from fsilure to instruct the SOL
diers that 1t is a shameful and un-
soIdierly thing to expose themselves
to disease due to indulgence in vice.
Works for Deeeney.
The committee Is working not only
in the interests of national morality
and decency, it is also working in
the interest of military efficiency,
for II will save scores of thousands
of soldiers from being shamefully in
capacitated before reaching the front
and the gain to the nation from the
economical as well as the moral
standpoint, after the war, will be
very great.
The work OF the committee will be
carried on outside the camps in the
adjacent communities acting in CO.
operation with churches, clubs, and
organizations OF public-spirited men
and women. It will be wholly differ
ent from the work inside the camps,
which is done by the Y. n. c. A, the
knights Of Columbus, the Y. NJ. H. A,
and similar bodies.
In many places the local authori-
ties already have done much work
along the lines sketehed BY the ma
tional committee, and whenever this
is the case, the national committee
viii surely aid the local bodies. All
good and patriotic men and women
should heartily back this work to
keep Uncle Sans soldiers clean, de-
cent and self-respecting: to make
them better citizens and more formid-
able fighting men.

Architects who have made study

building prosperity comes and goes in
ten year cycles They know that this
Is true today despite the great world
war and that at the present time this
country Is in the midst OF such ten
year cycle. The nationwide demand
for commercial. Industrial and insti-
tutional expansion ia one OF the fac
