STUDENTS BEING FITTED FOR
 SERV|CE:
(By the Associated Press)


 LAWRENCE, Kansas, Nov. S-Ev- cry man and woman student of the University of Kansas now takes reg ular physical training five times a week and the men students, fit for military service take military train ing. The University senate recently adopted the foregoing ruling and the University schedule has been set half hour earlier to clear away all class and labratory work by four D. m. when drill and exercise work begin for the whole university. The school whistle blows a rustling alarm an hour earlier than at present and every stu dent boarding house in Lawrence has been directed to have breakfast an hour earlier than has been the GUS tom for years.
 The ruling to compel every student to take definite, supervised exercise an hour day, five days a week, or regulation army work is the most sweeping order made at the Univer- sity of Kansas in many years.
 It probably will change the whole trend of student life and of intercol- legiate athletics. All students are undergoing examination by competant physicians and must take the exer- else, prescribed, be that swimming, hockey, track, cross-country walks or hikes, light calisthenics, or any com bination the physical development specialists deem best for the indivi- dual case.
 Until now only freshmen and soph- more students have been compelled to take physical development work. That is usual custom among col leges. V. o. Hamilton, director of athletics at the University pointed out that junior and senior students are not infrequently subject to ner-

MAY IDENTIFY
DROWNED MAN
MOBILE PARTIES MUCH INTER-
ESTED. BELIEVING THE UN1
FORTUNATE IS WILL LIPS
COMB, OF THAT CITY.

Identification of the white strang-
er, whose body was found floating
in the bay early Friday morning. was
almost positively established last
night when Police Clerk Welsh re-
ceived a wire from A. T. Watson,
of Mobile, asking for a minute de-
scription of the unfortunate. A de
scription was wired as requested, and
later in the day another Usegram was
received urging that the body be kept
until he, Watson, could reach here.
1t is understood that Mr.. Watson
will arrive this morning.

by Police Commissioner Frank D.
Sanders resulted in the discovery that
the dead man had been here in COM
pany with another Mobile man, who
with a young lady, were detained at
the police station upon the request
of the mother of the girl. but who
were released after it became known
to the girls parents that she had
married him. kilograms were sent
to the Mobile police chief yesterday
asking that such a party be looked up
and possibly some light could be
thrown on the recent past Of the man,
and a positive Identification could be
established. 1t is believed the drowned
man was Will Lipscomb Of Mobile,
and the party, A. T. Watson, who
wired several times yesterday, is ex-
pected to so identify the man today.
In the meantime. Undertaken Pou

Not All Exemption Districts
Heard From, Hence I'm
certainty Date of Action.
GENERAL PLANS
TO BE FOLLOWED
Most of the Missing Dis
tricts Are in Large and
Populous Cities,
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, July 14-With 947 of
the 1860 exemption districts still I'M
heard from today, an accurate pre-
diction as to the date of the draw
ing under the army selective con-
scription law still was impossible.
Most of the officials believed. how.
ever, that all would be reaGy Tor the
drawing next week.
Most of the Kissing districts are
in large cities and will report about
the same time.
Meanwhile nominations for the dis
trict appeal boards still await ac-
ton by President Wilson, The full
list of men recommended has been
submitted by Brigadier Gen. Crowder
provost marshal general. There will
be no need to delay the drawing for
these nominations. In each state the
number that will mean from each dis
trict is now being determined by the
governor.
In any state the allotment Of quota
by districts may range widely. One
district may be called upon for sew
eral hundred men and another for
only two or three, due to credits for
volunteers, distribution OF registrants
or other factors.
Another factor in the drawing that
may prove puzzling is the fact that
the rotation numbers will not be the
same in every district. If the largest
district has seven thousand men reg
istered and the smallest 1877 and the
others range between, 1000 numbers
i - l. :,
serial number might W CTS. That
would mean that number 6.775 would
be first up in every district which had
6,775 men or more. 1t would mean
nothing to any district with less than
SITS registerants.
The second number drawn might
be 25. Then in all small districts
No. % would be first up but in dis
tricts having 6,775 or more regis
trants No, % would come up second

AT WHITE HOUSE ARE PUT
IN JAIL.

Washington, July 14.-Sixteen suf-
fragists of the woman's party. at
tempting to stage a picketing demon
stration at the White House gates to-
day in celebration of the anniversary
of the fall of the Bastille were
promptly arrested and taken to Jail.
Each gave $25 bail for appearance
Monday for trial on charges of i'm
peding traffic.
There virtually was no disorder, a
crowd of about a thousand people
gathered for the widely advertised
show, contenting itself with hooting
and jeering as the police escorted the
women away.
The women, marching from the
headquarters nearby, approached the
White House grounds in three groups,
one heading for the east gate. an
other for the west gate and the third
arriving late at the east gate to re-
place the members of the first sec,
ton when they were arrested. In
each instance the police endeavored
to persuade the marchers to ''move
on" before making arrests.
The banners carried bore various
Inscriptions, including the motto of
the French revolution, Liberty,
equality, fraternity" ~
