Washingotn.--The last step neces'
sary to make the entire national guard
available for duty in France was taken
by President Wilson with the lSsu'
ance of a proclamation drafting the
state troops into the army of the Uni
ted States on August g. To make GER
tain that the purpose OF the national
defense act is carried out, the proc
lamation also specifically declares the
men drafted to be discharged from the
old militia status on that date. In
that way, the constitutional restraint
upon the use OF militia outside the
country is voided and the way paved
for sending the regiments to the Euro
pean front
Prior to the application OF the draft,
regiments In the northern and eastern
section of the country are called into

SALOON IN PIPESTONE
COUNTY TOO PROSPEROUS

Trosky, small village in Pipestone
county, is wet on probation. The only
saloon keeper in the village has been
notified by the Minnesota Safety COM
mission that unless he changes his
methods of doing business theftown will
be bone dry without further ado.
The movement to GUST the saloon at
Trosky was started in Rock and Pipe
stone counties when petitions were sign
ed requesting the safety commission to
order the place closed. The commission
has decided to give the place another
trial in hopes that conditions may be
improved
The opposition to the saloon at Trosky,
1t is said, is not based on. wet or dry
issues so much as it is on public safety
and welfare. With all the surrounding
territory dry it is believed there is too
much liquor handled in that village for
one small municipality. Many &C.
cidents occurring in that vicinity are
declared tracable to Trosky whiskey
Consequently the movement.

Adolph Meile and DR.. Geo. F. Reineke
were reelected members of the school
board, without opposition. There were

NEW ULM BOY SEES
SERVICE IN NAVY
VICTOR SCHLEUDER RETURNS
FROM NEWPORT TRAINING
CAMP.

returned. He was not killed, and he
didn't kill anybody. Victor saw service
in the navy for month, and then the
medical department discovered that he
would not pass the physical examination,
and he was given medical discharge.
Mr.. Schleuder, however, feels that his
experience is we'll worth his efforts, and
that he has at least done his duty the
best he could. v..J....,.s-. r.. III. - :
Makes Good Record.
T.. Victor made an excellent record while
in the service, and feels that if he had
been permitted to serve the four years
for which he enlisted, he would have
come out with flying colors. After
leaving New Ulm in June, he je ined the
recruits from the Northwest at Mime
apolis, and left the same night for the
naval training camp at Newport, R. 1.
On the way he was placed in charge Of a
squad of twenty men. In the first ten
days in camp he won the craftsmanship
medal, and he had been there but two
weeks when he was appointed apprentice
petit officer, his duties being to instruct
recruits. This would have insured his
remaining at the training camp for a
period of at least eighteen months.
Defective hearing caused his honorable
discharge from the service.
Victor says the Newport naval train
ing camp is most interesting place.
There are from 5000 to 5000 men in
training, and they are coming and going
constantly. After a stay of from three
to four weeksathe recruits are trans
ferred to another camp or on board ship
where they finish training.
Men Are Entertained.
The men are we'll treated at the camp.
Every Monday evening there is a
moving picture show to which all the
men are entitled to attend. Once week
there is an open air concert, followed
by a dance. Besides there are many
other wholesome entertainments, in

homesick
The first two weeks are occupied in
regular drilling, similar to that of the
infantry, after which ship work is
practiced, the men being shown how
to tie knots, and many other duties
pertaining to life on ship-board.
''The training camp is about the
cleanest place you ever saw he said
to The Review. "The place is scrubbed
three times a day, and everything is
spotlessly clean. The recruit who ap-
pears with any dirt on his clothes gets
the worst of it, and after few days in
camp very few of the men do So
