$500 FOR NEW ARMY, 1,O84 FOR

TIONAL GUARD.

The state of Washington must fur
nish IN per cent or $500 men Of
the 100000 to be called for the first
unit Of the new selective army.
In addition it must recruit 1904
more men to NIL its quota of the reg
ular army and 634 more men to
bring its national guard forces up to
full strength.
All of which means that the state
of Washington must furnish 9.16S
men for military service between
now and the time the new army OF
100000 is created on the war foun-
dation laid June s, when all men in
the United States between the ages
of 81 and 81 were registered for pos
sible duty abroad.
To Deduct Enlistments.
Voluntary enlistments in the reg
ular army or national guard during
the days prior to starting the actual
work of drawing the names will be
deducted from that number, but men
will be drafted into the army to
make up whatever shortage in the
states total remains after that time
Not all of the 9,168 men which
Washington must supply are needed
to complete the states share of the
new draft army. Six hundred and
thirty-four of that number are need
ed to fill up existing units in the
Washington national guard, and
1904 in the regular army.
Washington, with a population on
January /. 1917. of 1.565.810 out of
a total in the United States of 1922
100000 must furnish IN per cent
of the entire number in the new
army. That means $500 from the
state in the first 100000 called.
Oficial figures obtained at the war
department show that Washington's 3
quota in the regular army is 2.282.
but that since April l. when the
quota was fixed. only 1,24S recruits
from Washington have been accept

Germans Escape Internment.

London, Sept. 26.-One Of the
most daring escapes from internment
camps was effected yesterday at Keg-
worth, Nottingham. Twenty-Five
German prisoners, including Capt.
Muller, who commanded the cruiser
Emden, and Lieut.. Otto Thelan dis
appeared through tunnel extending
from a hut in the camp to a point
outside the barbed wire fence. How
the tunnel was dug Is a mystery.
Nine of the prisoners we're recap
tured, including Capt. Muller and
Lieut.. Thelan. The latter made
three previous escapes. With Lieut..
Emil Tehmand, another Of the re-
captured prisoners, he fled from the
detention barracks at Chelms Ford
last May.
The Germans made dummy locks
OF cardboard, substituting them for
the locks on the cell doors. Dummy
figures to deceive the sentry we're
made from bedclothes and some of
their garments. To make these fig
ures the more realistic they were
decorated with shocks OF hair from
their mattresses

A policy of watchful waiting ad-
opted yesterday by county and Fede-
raj officers resulted in the arrest of
one white man, one negro man and
two negro women, and the capture of
over five gallons Of whiskey and a
horse and carriage.
The officers got tip Thursday af-
ternoon that a quantity Of whiskey
had arrived in the city and was prob
ably stored in house near the Sou
thern railways overhead bridge on
the outskirts of the city. They set
out for the house in question, and,
concealing themselves, proceeded to
watch and await developments. Soon
one Of the men now in jail went into
the house and came out with a gal

then raided the house, and the

horse and vehicle are now the prop

government, though which will claim

The four persons will have to an

uuL throughout North America as

cure thousands of recruits for the
Sunday schools.
Believing implicitly in the great
work now being done in our Sunday
schools, and desirous of encouraging
those who are contributing their
time, energy and money to this great
cause, |, Richard I. Manning, Cover
| nor Of South Carolina, do hereby pro-
claim and set apart November 4th,

| ders, to attend the Sunday schools Of
| their choice, and l trust that they

Runaway Oh Main Street.
(Omitted Last Week:)

One of the liveliest times on Main
street in Walhalla for some time oc-
Cured last Wednesday afternoon,
when series of run-aways took
place. A splendid bay horse belong
ing to T. w. Lecroy was hitched at
the residence Of w. l.. Werner, in the
East End, and 1t became frightened
when the lines got down under its
hoofs and a little boy passing endea-
vored to get them Strengthened out.
The animal broke loose and came up
Main street at full tilt, refusing to be
stopped by several who ran out to
head him off. At the store of G. w.
Pitchford the horse crossed the
sweet, setting on to the pavement at
tho Baik Of Walhalla, who,e he hung
the hrsgy. against tree. stripping
tree from his hnrness. 4 pair 0f
mules standing near became fright
enrI. ,.uu tuese animals joined The
speed Test uptown. At the post Of
flee they collided with a buggy be-
Ion ngng to Rural Carrier J. II. Ernest,
smashing the vehicle pretty COM
pletely aud leaving the heavy two
horse wagon hanging on and about it
The two mulos got into and out Of the
busy so quickly that no one saw
how il was done. The two mules
were unhurt. as was also the Lecroy
horse though the latter gave an eX-
hibition Of sliding for third" that
Tv Cobb could have profited by.
When the &uimal struck the smooth
ceneht pavement between tho old
hotel building and the post Office his
legs, East as they we're going, couldn't
most fast enough for the emergency,
and he did few fancy turns before
permitting himself to be caught.
w hile lie was being held and his har-
ness oicked up he took another
fright, made another dash and gave a
hair dozen men and boys good half
hours work in catching him. Mr..
Ernest's horse, hitched to the buggy,
stood his ground and stopped the
runaway and was not hurt in any
manner.
