HE SACRIFICES FAT
FOR COUNTRY'S CAUSE

ALBANY-Eugen Hornback has de-
cided that when his patriotism and his
diet don't jibe, his diet wins. He
weighs $50 pounds and recently de-
cided to reduce enough to get into the
national guard. He took a job on a
railroad section and cut out rich foods.
But now he has quit his job and is eat
ing as much as ever. He explained
today that he was not losing weight
enough and that the war would prob
ably be in history by the time he got
down to the militia weight limit.

H. S. McClung Swears to Criminal
Complaint Against H. H. ChOat as

Assault with a deadly weapon"
That is the charge that stands OF
the records at the court house today
against H. H. Choat, farmer living
in the vicinity of Viola. The complaint
against him is sworn to by H. B. Nc
Clung, a near neighbor.
Mr.. McClung came to Moscow Tues
day afternoon to take action against
Choat. According to the story he
told he had narrow escape from
death. But for the fact that the knife
Of his assailant struck rib over his
heart he would have been killed. AS
it was he received a stab in the left
breast and, when he grappled with
Choat, received another cut in the
back. When Choat stabbed him the
first time, he says, the point of his
knife struck a rib just over the heart.
The cut was sewed up by physician
brought from Palouse and will not
prove serious. The cut in the back
was not a bad one.
Sheriff Campbell went to the scene
of the disturbance Tuesday but found
Choat away from home. He went
back again this morning, with the
that Choat would be at
home and would make legal defense

WASHINGTON-It has been deter
mined to rush the selective conscrip-
tion bill through congress immed-
lately. Today President Wilson con-
fered with Senator Chamberlain,
of the committee on military affairs in
the United States senate He told
Senator Chamberlain the bill must
be passed Immediately without change
from the form suggested by the army
war college and the general staff of
the army, "for the welfare of the ma
tion."
Administration leaders believe the.
senate will pass the measure without
material change and with little delay.
And the moral effect of this, it is
argued, will aid in the passage of the
measure through the house.
Take Boys First
Army officers explain that this Sc
lective conscriptive scheme that seems
certain of passing congress will take
in 100000 men to constitute the first
unit, and that these will be boys un-
der the age of 20 years.
To assist in listing the men of mill
tary age in rural districts the post
masters in second, third and fourth
class offices and the rural mail car
riers will be used. They, like the reg
istering officers in the cities, will list
all from 19 to 25 years of age.
The country will be divided into 16 |
and training camp will be
established in each. The training
will be thorough.
After seven hours discussion the
senate passed the S7,000,000,000 bond
bill Tuesday might without dissent
ing vote. This is the greatest amount
If money voted at one time in the his
.ory of the world.
