ANOTHER REPORT OF INCIDENT

Washington, August 3.-A denuncla- tion by Representative Heflin of Ala bama of Representatives Mason and Britten of Illinois for their attitude toward the conscripton law. became so personal in the House today that MT Heflin's words were expunged from the record.
 asked if MT Heflin was aware the two members he was attacking were absent. Mr Heflin replied affirmative ly, and added
 q think they are out stirring up opposition to the war and to the se- lective draft and in getting Germans to hold meetings and ask that they be exempted from service"
 Immediately Representative Staff ford of Wisconsin moved the words be expunged and when the demand was refused on viva voce vote a roll call was demanded.
 MT. Heflin said he was perfectly willing that the House should vote on whether they should be expunged. whereupon MT. Staffords motion was adopted l90 to 122
 PEOPLE ARE WEARY
 'The people back home are getting weary of the way one branch of Con gress is tying up legisation," MT. lief lin told the House during the speech which led up to the expunging action, and l think we ought to make it clear and plain that this branch Is not the re- sponsible body, but that another body is responsible for the delay, for holding back these important war measures Here the other day one member in another body of Congress by his objections held up for 10 days the airplane bill of the United States. Would Germany have asked any more? Another one praised the slackers and the traitors of Canada for resisting the selectve draft Would the Kaiser have asked more? Another has tried to discredt Herbert c. Hoover be- fore the country They have belittled him, and they have besmirched him as much as they could Would the Kaiser have asked more? And on yesterday one introduced bill to have referen- dunn as to whether or not the comman- der-in-chief should send men out upon the ocean or beyond the ocean to fight for the honor and the liberty of this country. Would the Kaiser have had him change his tactics? And in this House member from Illinois introduced bill, and 1t is now pending. and the German spy system is having petitions sent to members asking that the selective draft be repealed, the law under which we are forming an army to defend the life of this nation from the dangers that threaten it.

 KNOTTY PROBLEMS
 Government officials generally are be- ginning to take up the individual ques- tions which are arising where govern ment employees are called for service. Secretary Daniels said today that knotty problems were arising in the navy de- partment as to what individuals in the clerical force, navy draughtsmen, or skilled workers at the navy yards are absolutely indispensable.
 General Crowder has suggested to the governors that each assemble the full membership of all district boards in his state for general conference to insure uniform proceedings regarding appeals. The governors were asked also to ap- point an official in each local district to file appeais. County attorneys were sug- gested

TROOPS TROOPS 5 ORDERED ORDERED
 SENT TO FRANCE
25,OO0 Men to Sail for French Front at Once. General Pershing Will Be in Charge.

 Washington, May 18-President Wilson tonight ordered that division of regular troops commanded by Mai Gen. John J. Pershing be sent to France at the earliest practicable date. 1 This is the answer of America to Frances plea that the Stars and Stripes be carried to the fighting front without delay to hearten the sol diers battling there, with concrete evi- dence that powerful ally has come to their support against German aggres- sion.
 Announcement of the order followed signing of the seclective draft war ar my bill by the president and the issu- ing of statement that under the ad- vice of military experts on both sides of the water, the president could not employ volunteers nor avail himself of the fine vigor and enthusiasm" of former President Roosevelt for the ex- petition.
 The army law for an ultimate force of approximately 2,0O0,0oo men. Af- ter the bill was signed, the president signed proclamation calling upon all men in the country between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, to register for military services of June next The proclamation will enroll and sift 10, 100000 men and pave the way for the selection of the first 500,000 young, eff ficient soldiers without erippling the industries or commerce of the nation or bringing hardships to those at home
 Even before the bill was signed, the War Department announced that the full strength of the National Guard would be drafted into the United States army beginning July 15 and concluding August 5. Orders to bring the regiments to full war strength inn mediately accompanied the notification sent to all governors. Aluminium of 5000 fighting men will be brought to the colors under these orders, sup plementing the 293,000 regulars who will be under arms by June 15.
 It is from these forces that the first armies to join General Pershing in France will be drawn, to be followed within a few months by recurring waves from the selective draft armies, the first 5O0,0OO of whom will be mob ilized September 1.

FUND
DEFICIENCY
DISCUSSED
State High School Board
Considers Letter on
Subject from Governor

After lengthy discussion of the
proposal to pay the deficiency Of ST.,
100000 in state high school funds
from current appropriations, the
state high school board adjourned on
Wednesday without voting on the
question. Monday, July 16, was set
as the date for the next meeting, and
vote probably will be taken at that
time.
The board had before it a letter re-
ceived from Governor J. A. A. Burn
quist calling attention to the "ex-
ccedingly inequitable treatment of
the pupils in our schools and the tax
payers of our state" A report from
Public Examiner Andrew e. Fritz,
showing inequalities in the distribG-
ton of school aid, accompanied the
letter of the governor.
III the state is to take the posi-
ton that it is it's purpose to give
every pupil, as nearly as may be,
equal educational opportunities, II
cannot continue to permit such tn
equalities between localities and per-
sons" the governor says, and he con-
tinues:
1T was because I fully believed
that our school aid system should be
just and equitable that l advocated
change in the methods OF the dis
tribution Of aid in my budget mos
sage to the last legislature. 1t was
in accordance with that desire and
for the purpose Of calling attention
to the need Of such change. as we'll
as on account of the large appropria-
tions of this year, by reason of war
conditions and the S2,500,O00 increase
in school aid, that I vetoed a portion
of said increase. with the expectation
that your board would so adjust. out
of current funds the payment of
deficits and the aid for the next two
years so that the various districts
throughout the state would suffer no
hardship by reason Of said veto.
"As you were informed at your last
meeting, the attorney general holds
that you are in position to pay any
past moral obligations out of funds
now available "
81 feel that the state high school
board can be of much service to the
state in cooperating with the adj
ministration in it's present education
nj policy for its only purpose is to
secure for all the children Of our
commonwealth equal and larger OPP
portunities to obtain the education to
which they are entitled"
