CONSUMPTION Starts
In A Few Days

1t will be but matter of a few
days until actual work on conscrip-
! ton begins and it will then be too
| late to offer your services voluntarily
Why be forced to do what every Am
erican Citizen should gladly do with
out hesitation? Consumption means
being forced to defend your country
against your will.
By enlisting now you can choose
what company you join, what branch
OF the service you go into and who
you wish to serve under. Fitzgerald
has company in the field Fitzgerald
and the surrounding community has
furnished the men for its company.
Why wait and risk when you can
JOIN now and be with home BOYS and
under officers you know and who will
take every interest in your welfare.
| Company CO.., Fitzgerald's own COM
pany, is considered one of the best
III the service and shares in the best
| that the service offers. There is not
a dissatisfied man in the company
Practically all the non-commssioned
officers i'll Company &C" have been
recommended for commissions
ComanDy &C" offers better advan-
tagcs for advancement because her
officers have put forth every effort to
make her the most efficient company
in the service; took the best interests
of the men to heart and have worked
hard and exhausted every effort to
make every member of the company
fit for some higher office; has already
offered and recommended five Of her
non-Commissioned officers for COM
missions and now preparing as many
more as wish to put forth their efforts
for promotion.
All we ask is a good man and a
good soldier and we make soldering
pleasure and advancement a certain
ty.
Lieut. Adams has less than dozen
men to enlist and Company &C" will
have its required quota and no more
recruits will be accepted. Since you
will have to go, why not go with our
home company and fight side by side
with home boys. 1t makes a fellow
feel more at home if he knows all his
comrades.
ENLIST NOW! As soon as con-
scription registration starts Lieut..
Adams closes his office and your
chance is lost.
Don't wait to be conscripted. This
may be your last chance to volunteer
your services and man just natural
ly hates to be forced to do a thing.

To Be No FavOritism
In Applying Draft

Washington, May 1O.-To dispose
of any fear that county and city regis
tration boards will exercise favorir-
ism in enrolling soldiers under the
selectiyc draft act, Provost Marshal
General Crowdcr issued Statement
tonight declaring such Practices
would be virtually impossible because
OF the explicit terms in which the act
is drawn. He warned registration cf-.
f1icials that favortism easily could be
detected and would be punished w;th
heavy penalties
Every precaution," said the stag
ment, will be taken to make it Ger
tain that the registration will be COR
Quoted with exact justice.
"The law is specific and allows no
latitude to the boards. either in the
matter Of registration or in the laIer.
matter Of exemption from service.
In TACT, the law is self-executing Es--
cry man within the age limits fixed by
the sclcctiye service act must register,
and the penalty Of the law for evas--
ion Of registration will fall, non um}y
on the man who fails to appaer, hu1
on any member of a registration
board who may be shown TO be IN
collision with the person who 81

ed, exemptions for men engaged III

the authority will lie with a board OF
higher jurisdiction.
"Ihe law provides the penalty Cd:
imprisonment with no alternative OF z
fine for any official or any registereaa
| man who shall make a false retl1rn
or connivc at such a practice. The
safeguards against favorjtism or
evasion are ample"

TWO CIRCUS LEOPARDS
HAVE A BATTLE TO DEATH

Beaumont, Gala fight to a finish
between two leopards occurred on the
circus ground at San Jacinto, Il miles
south Of here.
The two aniamls were rivals for
leadership OF the group of trained
leopards that furnish one of the fea-
ture acts. Their hatred for each
other had been manifest for several
days, but as their exhibitions OF i'll
will had never gone ebyond the limit
Of growls and ugly chances their
trainers had not thought it necessary
to place them in separate cages.
Apparently maddcncd by the jolt
ing Of the cage as it was being put in
place on the circus grounds, the two
leopards suddenly locked in deadly
combat.
Armed with iron bars, circus en-
ployees worked desperately to separ-
ate the maddened beasts, but their
efforts were Intellectual After fight
for nearly half an hour one of the
beasts overpowered the other.
The dead animal was one of the
best educated and most highly trained
leopards in captivity. 1t was valued
at $4,000. Its opponent was so badly
wounded its recovery is doubtful

CONSCRIP ton
ACES FIXED At
q To 80 YEARS

Washington, May IU-Conferees
OH the war army bill reached an
agreement today and the measure
will be reported back to the two
houses for confirmation as soon as
possible.
The so-called Roosevelt amend
ment put in by the senate, permitting
the colonel to raise four divisions for
service i'll France, was eliminated
from the bill as was that authorizing
the raising Of three regiments for
border patrol duty.
The conferees made the age limit
of those subject to the se1ective draft
p to 80 years, inclusive, in place of
the p to q limits in the senate bill
and p to 30 in the house measure.
The senate amendments prohibitins
the sale Of liquor at army camps and
otherwise safeguarding the morals of
the troops were retained.
General Staff Pleased
General staff officers were much
pleased at the agreement of the con-
ferees and the total elimination of
the volunteer system from the new
armies. While they preferred the
narrower age limits of the senate bill,
as it would yield on the whole a
younger set of men, they were salts
fed with rejection of the house pro-
vision which extended the age as far
as 40.
Senator France, Of Maryland, be-
lieving the bill defective because OF
the limited range of ages, introduced
today separate resolution to en-
power the president to enroll all men
between Is and IS. for national de
tense, simultaneously with the select
i've conscription registration. The en-
rollment would consist of a cadet
corps, IS to 20; first line, p to u;
second line, p to s.; first reserve, sc
