one by Mr.. Hooker to call for a report
from the state fish commissioner, com
prised the total of important bills in
troduced in the house.
School for Blind.
Three bills were introduced by Sen
tor Harding of Pitt, relative to the
School for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind
here. These provide for the erection
of ten firepFoof cottages on the 80
acre tract owned by the state here
which was purchase dior that u
pose; the changing of the title of prin-
cipal to superintendent to make the
title conform to that of the heads of
other state institutions; to require
sheriffs in the various counties to
bring blind children to the institution
when notified by the superintendent
of the school.
Mr.. Hooker's bill as to the fish com.
mission report is looked upon as the
first gun in the fight for a repeal or
amendment of existing fish laws. 1t
calls for q full report from the COM
missioner within a week. Representa-
tlves from the coast counties are
looking forward to this report with
some degree of glee. They believe it
will show that the commission has
been working under a plan of opera
ton much more expensive to the state
than the average citizen knows any
thing about. They think that the re-

officers reserve list must be main
tanned.
All Volunteers Needed.
1t is ridiculous for any considera-
ton to be given to the reports which
are heard that the reserve list was
the result OF an error in calculation
by the War Department. The latter
has made many mistakes since 1t has
first begun the task OF Transforming
millions of civilians into soldiers, but
this is not one of them. Otherwise,
the plans which are now In progress
for the institution of the third series
of officers training camps, which Will
be composed principally of men drawn
from the national army. would be at
once abandoned, since more than the
needed number of officers would be
otherwise at its disposal.
Any man who makes a protest af-
ter being placed upon the reserve list
will be a poor soldier. The only mo-
tive which should have actuated him
upon applying for admission to the
camps should have been a desire to
be of all possible help TO our country
in its efforts to bring the war TO a
successful conclusion.

New York. y. UT is conserva-
lively estimated that over three mil
lion people annually in this country
alone are taking Nuxated iron. Such
astonishing results have been re-
ported from its use both by doctors
and laymen. that a number OF physi-
clans in various parts of the country
have been asked to explain why they
prescribe 1t so extensively. and why
it apparently produces so much bet
ter results than were obtained from
the old forms OF inorganic iron.

new DRAFT LAW
may Be PASSED
AT This SESSION
Congress to Consider Kahn
Amendment Raising
Age Limit to 40.

Shall the present selective conscrip-
ton act be amended? Shall the ages
Of those subject to its operations be
revised both upward and downward?
Those are to be among the big ques-
tions argued as soon as Congress as
sembles for its regular session in De-
cember. Representative Julius Kahn
has announced his intention of pro-
posing an amendment to compel the
registration of all citizens from Is to
10. inclusive. giving America a reserve
OF q 100000 to draw upon. The present
ages are from q to 81.
Baker Opposes Change.
The War Departments original plan
was for men from IS to %. There was
no objection to taking those who did
not yet have a vote, and Congress
amended the act to make it read from
z 10 40. Then there was objection
that between the ages of 81 and 70 a
vast majority OF men had dependent
families. So the present figures were
finally reached.
Right after Kahn announced his In
tention OF proposing an amendment in
December, 1t was stated that Secre-
tary OF War Baker was opposed to
any change. Kahn wired back from
California that at least part OF his
amendment was misunderstood. He
does not mean that boys of IS TO p
shall be sent to the trenches, but he
does want them registered and given
preliminary training, so that when
they become p they will be ready TO
take their place in the fighting lines.
lie also said that no man over 81
would be called for active service un-
I'll those in the present draft limits
had all been called upon for examina-
ton and possible service.
I'VE must make preparations" said
Kahn, "as IL the war were going to
last forever. That will be the surer
way to bring the war to a successful
end and 10 establish a peace that will
last"
Plenty Men, Says Crowder.
Maj. Gen. Crowder. provost marshal
OF the army. who drew up the practi-
cal working arrangements for the
draft. said:
Il have no official opinion to voice
on the question OF raising the age
limit above 30 years. AS a practical
matter, it is not necessary to raise
the age limit. We have a great reser-
voir still untapped in the men be-
tween p and 81. We examined only a
10000 registered, in order to secure
our army Of over 10000. and all We
have 10 do is to go on and examine
the other eight million.

Men IN SECOND
TRAINING CAMP
TO Be Utilized
Those Placed On Reserve
Will Have Chance
for Service.

All men now in the second train
ing camps, displaying the requisite
qualifications and passing the fina
examination at the conclusion of the
course will receive commissions as
officers. it was stated at the Wa:
Department yesterday afternoon.
Part OF these men will be ordered
into active service at once. The re-
mainder will be placed upon the off,
GERS reserve list to be called when
needed but will. nevertheless, receive
their commissions.
This explanation was made because
Of the impression which had been
spread that more than half of the
men. even though they were well
fitted to be officers would be sent
home at the close of the training
period with nothing to reward their
efforts.
Wrong Impression Created.
Attempts have been made to make
it appear that, through lack of CO.
ordination on the part of the War
Department a vast injustice is being
done the men who have responded
to the call of their country by en-
listing in the second training camps.
One story says that the situation
which now exists is in direct con-
ilict with the assurances which were
given the men in August. 1t is said
that under a misconception many OF
the men resigned their positions and
will be exceedingly disgruntled when,
on November 81. the conclusion OF
the second series, they find that their
work has been for nothing"
1t is a grewsome thought, but one
which we cannot evade, that the cas-
ualties which are to come when
American soldiers get into the thick
Of the fight as they are now gradually
doing, will be heavy. Thousands of
privates and thousands of young Of
ficers will be killed. and trained men
must be ready to take their places.
