DRAFT BOARDS GET
SPECIAL ADVISOR
A. G. PETERMANN APPOINTED TO
AID EXEMPTION BOARDS IN
PASSING ON CLAIMS.

Lansing.

LduSiu6.
The unevenness and inequality OF
exemption board rulings in different
districts has become a burning issue
Governor Sleeper has appointed AL.
bert G. Petermann, of Houghton
special counselor for the exemption
boards of the state. It is hoped that
before long some code of rulings can
be compiled which will direct the draft
boards Of all districts.
In the second draft a man came In
from st. Louis, Mich, followed by his
wife, who was carrying their little
baby. 1t seemed to all the observers
that the woman was indeed absolutely
dependent, yet the board had drafted
this man.
There are not many OF these cases
Most OF those who come are single
men. Most Of them come with willing
ness; in fact, with eagerness. No one
thinks any board intends to be unfair
but there is strong feeling that one
statewide system of .ngs is need
ed.
Michigan is the first state to take
steps toward one system of rulings
for all boards.

Military Course at M. A. c.

With the inducements OF uniforms.
offered by the United States govern
ment, and the added inducement Of
graduation into the officers reserve
upon completion of work, most Of the
able-bodied students entering the Uni
versity Of Michigan this fall will prob
ably take the course In military train
ing given under the direction OF an
army officer. =.
Since 1858 .ie regents of the uni
versity have been petitioned for a
course In military training and tactics
at Michigan. These petitions have
come from alumni and students, but
this is the first time the petitions
have really borne fruit.
During the summer Lieutenant G..
c. Mullen was detailed by the war de-
partment to Michigan to give the
courses in military training and tao.
tics. and to act as commandant OF
cadets. Lieutenant Mullen has seen
service in the Spanish-Anerican war
and in the Philippines.
The government has notified him
that 1t will furnish uniforms and equip
ment to all students in the University
of Michigan electing the military train
ing course. The university has APP
proved the suggestion that the stu
dents wear their uniforms to all
classes, and elsewhere II they choose.
In explaining the course and the
governments plan to graduate men in
to the officers reserve Lieutenant Null
len emphasized the fact that entering
the course in no way obligated the
student to join the officers reserve
after completing the work in military
science, but he did emphasize the
benefit military training was bound to
be to any student, and especially at
this time.
Under the orders Of the govern
ment," he said, "a student who COM
pletes the required course may become
a member of the officers reserve corps
upon graduation, and under present
conditions 1t is likely that every grad
uate who qualities will be needed.
1.-The prescribed course covers a
period of four years. This might seem
to shut the upper classmen out, but
we do not intend 1t shall. We have
arranged. II seniors want to elect this
course, to give them the entire four
years work in their last year at the
university"

Early Action for Guard Not Likely.

The Michigan National Guard will
not get into the fighting for at least a
year, according to the best informa-
ton here. This belief is based on
the fact that the British troops were
trained for IL months before being
sent in, the experience having been
that in this new war game, troops that
were not expert were more of him
drance than a help.
The Michigan brigade will not be
in the United States all that time
though, according to reports. but in all
probability will sail before Christmas.
The rest of the training will be within
hearing distance of the big guns at
the front.
II the local Interpretation Of new
orders from Waco is correct, the
Michigan troops will follow the Wis.
consin troops into the trenches In.
stead Of leading the way.
The Michigan troops are now the
fifty-seventh depot brigade. This is
taken to indicate that they will be
held In reserve and used to supply
men as those on the first line become
exhausted. Also, the regiments may
be sent into relieve the Wisconsin
men and in this way preserve their
unity.
There is difference of opinion on
this. however, and 1t is held entirely
possible that, depot brigade or no
depot brigade. the Michigan men will
get on the firing line as soon as any
other troops.

Custer Short Of Officers.

When the first contingent reached
Camp Custer the curiosity Of 1t was
the number of officers to the man, al
most one for each. Now. almost every
command in the 85th division is how
ling for more officers.
What started the trouble was the
depot brigade and the assignment Of
officers to Camp Greene. The men for
the latter took nearly 200 men.
The depot brigade is the hardest hit.
II has about an officer for each one OF
its 1OS companies.
II strict rules were adhered to the
depot brigade company officers would
be on duty "a hours, but by an ar.
rangement among themselves, the four
officers OF each battalion share the
work. AS each company now has only
is men, or 60 to the battalion, this IL
feasible, but the need is acute for
more officers before the next draft
arrives, and, so far as anyone can see
now, none will be available till Fort
Sheridan graduates another class.
Each company OF infantry has six
officers as its due. This seems great
many when one IS used to the old
company with its captain, first and
Becond lieutenants, but the old army
never contemplated rapidly breaking
in so many new men or making or
CARNATIONS entirely from unframed
men.
IL Il were not for the small nucleus
of the first 5 per cent, some of whom
have proved competent instructors In
the rudiments of soldering, the situa
ton would be almost impossible. but
as It is hard. worked captains have
made remarkable Roadway.

Flooded Potato Market Feared.

The potato crop should be placed or
the market in three installments, State
Market Director J. N. Mcbride says
in bulletin.
This, he says, is in order that the
farmer may not be forced to sell Of
a loss due to the large planting
throughout the state. He urges that
a third OF the crop be placed on the
market at once, a third placed in
warehouses. and third held at home
Banks will lend money for fall plant
ing on the warehouse receipts.

Many Rockies Are Homesick.


Inconsistencies and mental sugges-
ton, creating many imaginary all.
ments, are causing hundreds Of the
new men In camp to report to regi-
mental infirmaries for treatment, with
the result the medical branches of the
division are clogged with needless
work, according to officials in that de.
partment.
AS a matter of fact, there is SO
small an amount of real illness in
camp that the percentage of the total
under treatment is infinitesimal. OF
the 10000 men in camp there are less
than so cases in the base hospital.
But the reaction after the excite.
ment is beginning to have it's effect
and in companies where there de.
velops a genuine case of illness it is
noticed that many Of the other men
present themselves at sick call.
Under medical regulations no man is
really i'll until his case has been pass
ed on by department surgeons, and
for that reason very few of the many
who visit the infrmary are marked
Quarters" Rather they are sent back
to duty and soon the alleged ailment
disappears.
Another class Of patients, really in
need Of attention, are men suffering
from epilepsy produced by sudden
shutting off of alcoholic stimulants
There are a number of these cases
in each regiment some of them of q
very violent nature.
Because physicians are prohibited
by the dry law Of camp from admins
tering liquor in small quantities to re
lieve these cases, mild sedatives are
administered and soups and other
light, nourishing foods administered
Most OF the patients will ultimately re
cover, but there will probably be some
who will be discharged.
