Doves Prove to Be Slackers.

The Old Fort Homlng club of Fort
Wayne sent number of carrier nj.
geons to Los Angeles, says the Los
Angeles Times, In order to get them in
training for military service. A few
days ago Chief of Police Butler re.
leased the birds, lntrusting each with n
tiny roll Of tissue paper, bearing mes
sages from the mayor to officials of
the Indiana city. Six of the birds have
not been heard from, and II Is probable
that they are happy on their way back
home. Two of them, however, refused
to be drafted and returned to the cen.
trail police station, where they were
caught and placed in crate. Los
Angeles is pigeons paradise, but this
Is no time for doves Of peace, 1t seems,
The birds lost more than they gained
by their desertion. Such is the fate of

MAY HASTEN CALL
SECOND DRAFT ARMY
DATE WILL LIKELY BE FIXED
SOME TIME IN DECEMBER OR
JANUARY.
BIG DEFICIENCY IS EXISTING
National Army Divisions Formed Out
Of First Increment Are All Short Of
ouota-Room for Regiment at Each
Cantonment,

Washington. --Discussio OF the adj
visibility of expediting the call for
the second increment of the draft army
now is In progress at the war depart
ment and 1t appears likely that the
date may be fixed for some time In De-
cember or January.
Mobilization of the first increment
Of $4,000 men Is now %lr enough ad-
vanced to show clearly that there will
be big deficiency for the II national
army divisions. More than 100000 OF
the first increment are still to be as
sembled, but It already is evident that
there will be available at the 16 can
tonments quarters for an additional
regiment at each post and at some
for full brigade OF two regiments.
The strength Of the new regimental
organization is $500 men. With
regiment lacking at each cantonment,
this alone would mean shortage OF
nearly $4,000 men. In addition, there
has been authorized separate divi-
sion Of negro troops, which means
nearly 10000 men withdrawn from the
original number assigned to the Is
cantonments.
The shortage Is due partially to the
necessity Of taking out of the national
army men to I'LL up national guard d.
visions. Two complete national divi-
slons of southern troops have been
absorbed in this way The remnants
of three other southern national army
divisions will be consolidated to form
single divisional unit, and the sur.
plus men from other camps will be
sent south to make up the missing
divisions.
Drafts on the national army forces
must be made to I'll up the enlisted
personnel of the aviation service, the
medical corps and the service battal-
ions needed behind the fighting lines
abroad. Eventually there will be
$50 900 men In the last named service
aloLe, and the aviation and the medi-
cal service will take nearly as many
more though not all Of them will be
taken from the national army,

COME THROUGH" DRAWS

The melOdrama, Come Through,
at the Rex last night drew a large
audience and the offering was heart
lily appreciated. Tonight is the last
day of this great seven-reel Univer-
sal film.
Probably the only man in the
world to learn how to crack a safe
and to take lessons in this high art
is Herbert Rawlinson, star of Uni
versal's latest thriller, the under
world epic Come Through"
When it became known that one
of the duties of Rawlinson in the
film was to deftly crack safe, he
was sent up to San Francisco and
there he was given lessons from an
old night Waterman in the employ
of the government, on how to crack
a safe. He was gone exactly seven
days and at the end of that time he
was very proficient in this new gen.
tleman's art.
