U. s. TROOPS FIGHT
 ON MEXICAN BORDER
MANY SHOTS WERE EXCHANGED, BUT NO AMERICANS HURT
 -FiGHT NEAR MISSION

Mission, Texas.-Approximately 500 shots were exchanged across the Rio Grande at Ojo de Aqua, eight miles east of Mission, between small American border patrol and a number of unidentified Mexicans There were no American casualties, but latest re- ports here say two or three Mexi- cans were seen to fall during the en- gagement, which started at Ii o'clock in the morning and ceased at 5 o'clock when the Mexicans withdrew from the river.
 The Americans were under con- mand of Corporal eKnt, the identity of whose regiment is not known here, and the fighting started when several shots were fired at the patrol from the Mexican side. The outpost at Ojo de Aqua, hearing the Americans re- re-enforcements under Sergt. J. C.. Henderson. The fighting continued six hours
 Col B. F. Delamater reached tAe scene with 100 men from K and M companies of the Second Texas h. fantry from nearby outposts. A strong patrol has been thrown along the Rio Grande in the affected section as $ precaution against a possible attempt at border raiding.
 From the best information there were about 100 Mexicans participat- ing, and one report says three dis tinct bugle calls were heard. Tnis leads to the belief that the Americans were attacked by an organized force
 The last of the attackers disappear ed in the brush at , o'clock, just be- fore Col Delmater reached Ojo de Aqua.

FE|GNED DISABILITY
 WILL FREE NJ ONE
GOVERNMENT EXAMINERS WILL KEEP WATCH FOR FRAUDS
 CLOSE EVERY LOOP HOLE.
EVERY PRECAUTION TAKEN
Men Claiming Exemption Have Right To Appeal From Exemption Board
 To Appeal Tribunal-Task of
 This Body Will Be Most. Vital.

Washington.-Uncle Sam's not go- ing to take any chances on his first drafted soldier boys faking physical disability. And you will have to be mighty poor specimen physically not to be called on. With the Hateful lot tery complete, the government issued special warning to examining physi- clans to watch every drafted man for crooked tricks.
 ''It is important" said the surgeon general that you realize there will be a proportion of men called who will seek exemption by dissimulation, va rying from exaggeration of a condition to downright malingering. Be prepar- ed to protect the government against such attempts at deception"
 Not loophole is left for man to escape by fraud. When the examining physician or the local board, or both, are in doubt as to mans physical fitness the law is that he must be de clared physically fit and well.
 No drafted man will ever be given the benefit of the doubt Even if two physicians declare him physically un- fit, the local board may, at it's own discretion, set aside both opinions and hold him.
 No drafted man can escape by being sick in bed. The examiner will be sent to his home If convalescent the board will hold him till he is well, then examine him.
 Every precaution is taken to prevent any drafted man having ''pull'' with the doctor No examiner can pass on his drafted relative. Also, representa- tives of the surgeon-general's office will slip in occasionally to see that neither board members nor physicians are defrauding the government of fighting men.
 Because your feet are flat, don't think you can escape on that ground. You may not have fiat foot" the dis ease, at all. "A broad. flat foot" said the surgeon-general, "is common among laboring men and negroes, and is in no way disabling Flat foot dis ease is entirely different and the ex- aminer can easily tell it."
 A few of the things you might es- cape on are:
 Lack of moral understanding, ab- rupt Impressions in the skull. curved spine, bridges and crowns involving more than half your teeth, pronounc- ed goiter
 Tobacco heart won't exempt you.
 Chronic rheumatism may let you out, as will webbed fingers, paralysis of one or more fingers. loss or serious mutilation of either thumb, total loss of index finger of right hand, total loss of any two fingers on the same hand. or loss of the second and third phalanges of either hand

PATRIOTIC APPEAL
 MADE TO COAL MEN
NAVAL SECRETARY DANIELS ASKS THAT UNITED STATES
 BE SUPPLIED.

Washington Secretary Daniels told about 800 soft coal operators from Pennsylvania. West Virginia and Maryland that they would come for ward and supply coal to the govern ment for war purposes in the same spirit that the men who put on the American uniform offer their ser vices.
 The coal men met with government officials to discuss prices and produc- tion, having been called by the coal production committee of the Council of National Defense.
 The army and navy need quan- titles of coal for war operations, Sec retary Daniels said, and he told the operators that he considered it privilege rather than sacrifice on their part to supply the coal needed and later adjust the prices to be paid. He said the steel producers had agreed to furnish the government with their entire output, if necessary. and await adjustment of prices.
 It was disclosed that the govern ment needs from three to four million tons of coal in addition to the 1,S00,- 060 tons already arranged for.
 Commissioner Colver told the ope- rators that the trade commission fa- vored pooling all the coal in the Unit ed States for distribution by the gov ernment to the army and navy, the industries and the people. He said they favored paying the operators the cost of production and fair profit.
