kINIRY WRITES 0F
 LIFE AT DEYENS
Believes Compulsory Military
 Training Will Follow War

Compulsory military training will be in order following the termination of the war with Germany is the opin- ion of James P. Kiniry, who is at present stationed at Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, being among the second five to leave this city under the selec tive military law. Private Kiniry eX- plains in detail, in the following let ter sent to his uncle, Postmaster Will liam w. Pagan of Kensington. his first experiences and impressions of camp life:
 Camp Devens is not a temporary camp. Concrete roads are being con structed about the camp grounds that will last for years. It seems to me that even though the war should end to- morrow this camp will always be used. Look forward to compulsory military training.
 Upon arriving at the camp each recruit is given a hurried examination. The purpose of this examination is to determine whether the new candidate for the army has good teeth and is free from contagion. He is then es- signed to his particular outfit where he is given three woolen blankets, small wooden cot, a mess kit consist !uS Ol 6L IEyluB ptilI, tlIt h1AIO' NAiAAS' fork and spoon. Each man has to wash and dry his own mess kit after each meal. A large canvass bag Is also given to the new soldier. When this bag Is filled with straw 1t serves as mattress. We are also given poncho A poncho is @ rubber ccat, that is, 1t is cape and if properly folded with two blankets can be made into a fine sleeping bag
 '"The army officials are very strict about cleanliness. Each man has U bathe three times weekly and as there is no hot water in camp these show CTS are lokeI forward to with keen anticipation.
 ''The first morning we were in camp we were taken to an emergency hos pital where we had to undergo thor ough physical examination. Upon passing we had to be vaccinated and innoculated. Each man has to be lp- noculated four or five times. l got my first "shot", as it is called, about nine days ago and it was for typhoid.
 we all like it here. If the first five per cent. is fair specimen of the men who are to make up the new national army it is going to be some organization.
 "The officers and the non-comrnls- stoned officers are all gentlemen. They have a great deal of patience and take particular care that each man learns the various movements
 "So far I have found the army very democratic organization. There is no need for a fellow being lonesome unless he so desires. The food here is fine While we get no fancy dishes everything is good and wholesome. Our outfit Is a machine gun company. The battalion is to be made up Of 72o men and composed of four companies of TO men each and a headquarters company of 70 men,"

SMOKE IN'THE NOSE
 TOLLS GIRL RECRUIT
She Gasped and the Policeman
 Does the Rest

New York, Sept, 20.-Having rather naive ideas about the way men are examined when they try to get into the United States Army, Miss F'reda Hart, the IS year old daughter Of a farmer living near Candor Tioga county, New York saw no reason at all why she could not become g. sold fer and fight beside her finance so long as she kept her hair short, wore trousers, smoked cigarettes and talked through her nose, that being her idea of the proper method of acuuirins masculine tones.
 And all this she did, too, and man. aged to get as far as the Communi- paw station of the Central railroad of New Jersey, and there she sat down to wait for the train that was to take her to Washington and the 307th regiment, the outfit which she proposed to join. The thing that kept her from getting further Was the fact that she wasn't satisfied with talking through her nose; she had to go and get reckless and try to blow smoke through it, and during the ensuing period of utter despair she came to the attention of a policeman of the well know lynx eyed variety
 She is now under detention in the Mercer avenue headquarters of the Young Women's Christian association in Jersey City, waiting for her papa to come and take hre home.
 Miss Hart told Lieut.. Moulton of the Fourth Avenue police station, Jer- sey City, where she was taken by the lynx eyed copper. that she was en- gagged to Lieut.. Anton D. Hathaway of the 307th regiment of infantry and that when her fiance went to war she decided to follow him. She was in ' New York then, having come here last January because Candor was so very unexciting and was running a, telephone switchboard at the Y. w. c. A. in 500 Lexington avenue. So she decided to join the Lieutenant's regiment, but realized that first she must become man so far as possible.
 Oh, Those Cigarettes.
 It was easy enough to have her hair clipped and don trousers, and 1t wasn't so very hard to acquire the masculine tones, but she had lot of trouble with her cigarettes, but after several periods of intense agony fin- ally mastered the art of smoking. Then she felt that she was ready for the Great Adventure, and forthwith set out for Washington, and from there she intended to go to Spartan burg.
 She strode briskly into the Com- munipaw station, and finding that she had two hours to wait for her train walked into the smoking room. Everybody else in there was smoking, so Miss Hart borrowed @ cigarette from a man sitting near her and lighted it. It was a terrible piece of work, that cigarette was, but Miss Hart was afraid to throw 1t away-she realized

that an honest to goodness man must be able to smoke almost anything that is labelled tobacco. So she smoked and smoked, and got paler and paler. and then that lynx eyed copper had to come snooping around. He glanced sharply at Miss Hart, because it oc- cured to him that she had aWfully funny ears for a boy, and she, desir- ing to impress him, drew lot or smoke from her cigarette and tried to blow it through her nose.
 The smoke got lost and proceeded to distribute itself through her in terior. She coughed and spluttered and was in such utter despair that the l<indhearted copper came over to where she had collapsed on the bench. He put & kindly hand on her shoulder.
 Sick, sonny" he asked
 "Oh-h-h-h!' said Miss Hart.
 The policeman took a look at her and Immediately got fascinated with her small ears. He jerked her cap from her head.
 By golly!" he exclaimed, 'you got awfully funny ears for a boy!"
 I'm not a boy!' moaned the de- spairing girl, "1'm a girl! I want to go home!"
 Which she will, do as soon as her papa comes

CANNOT VOLUNTEER
 IF ONCE EXEMPTED
Ruling Provides That Men Excused From Draft Are Not Acceptable
 in Other Service.

Hartford, Sept. 2O.-No person who has once been called by local draft board can thereafter enlist in the army, even though exempted from draft.
 Superseding the instructions issued to recruiting officers for the army, September 10, in accordance with which men rejected, exempted or dis charged by local draft boards might volunteer for enlistment, new instruc- tions have been received at the Hart- ford recruiting station, today, as fol- lows:
 Compiled rulings of Provost Mar shal General provides that persons may not be exempted to permit them to enlist nor. under the presidents regulations, may person who has once been called by local board thereafter enlist, even after he has been exempted or discharged from draft. This regulation may be modi- fled by the president after all quotas are filled. but for the present. ex- empted or discharged registrants may not enlist voluntarily. It is further to be remarked that an application of an exempted or discharged man to enlist would be ground upon which a loocal board might inquire whether his cer- tificate of exemption or discharge ought to be revoked. This will su- persede instructions issued to all cen tral auxiliary stations. dated Septem- Der 10. 1917."
 At least one man was enlisted un- der the ruling of Sept. 10 at the Hart ford station.

il he is anxious about what branch of
the service he enters.
The. large percentage OF physically
unfit men, and the exemption of men
with dependents, brings the ratio to
one in three at least, say those who
have given the matter attention. The
recruiting committee offers this argu-
ment:
There doesn't seem to be any doubt
that all the physically fit men that have
registered will be taken under the
draft for the army. If you have to go
and you will, why not go with Your
friends and acquaintance? The artil-
lery offers a fine chance for advance
ment and is one of the most attractive
branches CT the service. Eventually
you will have to serve your flag. Here's
your chance to select your service"
