USEFUL MANY WAYS

According to reports from France,
members Of the first Lakeside unit to
60 abroad are proving themselves
adopts as cooks, laundrymen etc,
pending their assignment to more
strenuous and nerve-racking oecupa-
tions.
Those 15D boys who stepped out Of
everyday life into the army in two
days, had been doing all kinds of work
back home. Some had come from
college class rooms, others from the
work rooms of factories and stores.
Few knew one another when they were
sworn into the United States army in
: Cleveland on May 6.
Their lives up unil that day had re-
presented wide diversity of training
and habits Of thinking. In two days
they found themselves on board an
ocean liner bound for France, their
standards Of life, wholly altered
family and personal distinctions level
ed in the equality Of army life.
Now, we are informed, while await
ing official orders, the window trim
mer may be seen shelling peas for
noon mess, perchance a lawyer gath
ering up soiled linen for the laundry,
or a chemist overcoming the nitric
acies Of a strawberry pie.
Among the boys who it is reported
are performing culinary miracles in
the Lakeside unit kitchen, ID Fred
Bohley Of Medina. Baldwin, Wallace
base ball star, who is pitching for the
hospital team. Whether playing ball,
or singing a difficult recitative from
"Elijah," Fred is always thorough in
his work; thus his friends "back
home' may easily believe that his
French pot roasts are prepared with
the same care that he would exert
with a right-hand curve, or thesvocal
rendering Of q classic.

.CONs6IPI$ ACCEPTED
And those REJECTED

The Sentinel publishes for its read
ers this week a list Of Medina county's
conscrpts who successfully passed the
physical examination last week, as
well as those who were rejected. Also
the very few whom the examiners
wish to reconsider and who subse-
quently may be accepted.
A large percentage at each Of the
three examinations asked for exemp-
ti0n blanks and their claims, other
than for Industrial reasons, will be
acted upon by the county board this
week. Owing to the absence from the
county Of Chairman HERS Of the
board, the fore part Of the week, q
meeting to take up the work Of the
exemptions could not be held until
late yesterday, too late for the Sem
tinel to publish the results this week.
OF the exemption blanks requested Of
the examiners, Wadsworth had the
smallest number, Lodi next, and Me-
dina the most.
The names Of the ones who failed to
appear for examination will be certi-
fed to the proper federal authorities
as having been accepted, and the fact
of their nonappearance noted. Thus
they will automatically become SOL
diers, barring a possible subsequent
rejection by the federal examining
board Those in the first call who en-
listed after they had received notice to
appear for examination, laid them
selves liable to a severe reprimand,
if nothing more by the government.
Regardless Of their enlistment it was
their duty to have been examined by
the local board, who were not suppos-
ed to know why those called for ex-
ination failed to respond. The few
who may have wilfully sought to
evade their duty, will doubtless re-
ceive something of sterner stuff than
an official reprimand Of what might
be expected in such cases, fair warn
ing was given, so that slackers when
apprehended have no one to blame but
themselves.
Last Friday Chairman Hiersreceiv-
ed official notification that Medina
county's quota had been raised from
125 to 1870. AS the 375 examined last
week did not furnish the full quota,
another call for examination will be
issued at once, for a like number of
men as In the first call, 375.

Warner Shattuck Fails to Report
 for Army SerUice

Among the 49 slackers who faileu fee in time to leave with the draft quota of 270 ordered to leave yester- day evening for the Camp Funston training camp was Warner A. Shat tuck, son of L. c. Shattuck, the we'll known Arizona mine operator Young Shattuck, it was stated, has gone to Mexico. The sheriff's office turned his name, along with the others who failed to report, over to the United States department of justice yesterday, ana all these men will be hunted down by deputy United States marshals.
 Uncle Sam will be stern with called men who defy the draft. His hand men who defy the draft. His hand they are brought to punishment. It is a most serious offense to evade or defy the draft.
 Considerable attention was attract ed to the case of young Shattuck when an exemption plea was filed for him, because of the wealth and prominence of his father. The county board refused the plea, and upon an appeal to the district board it was again refused.
 The plea was based upon the de- sire that the young man finish his studies in the engineering school.
 When asked yesterday as to the whereabouts and intentions of his son, MT Shattuck declared that he did not know. He said he thought his son had gone to Mexico. He seemed to be very much affected by the circum- stance of his sons failure to report for duty to his government. q would rather that my boy should go to Eu- rope and fight and die, if need be, for his country" said the master of the Shattuck mine, than that he should go into perpetual exile in a foreign country branded by his friends as a stacker. I do not know where he is at this time; if I did l think l should go after him and try to bring him back"

A STRANGE R. R. ACCIDENT.
(By Review Leased Wire)

FL PASO, Texas. Sept. 1S.-RaiI- road accidents are always novel, but it was left for a big mOguel type Southern Pacific engine to divide it's heavy freight train and scatter it on three tracks, then to lean up against a three story building as if fatigued from it's efforts on Q hot September day.
 The freight train was passing the Fl Paso union station when the pilot of the big engine struck split switch. The engine went down one track, the tender and an oil tank car went onto another track while the freight cars were scattered along the right of way and on the rails of third track Two large telegraph poles prevented the locomotive from blowing through the brick building against which it lean ed heavily.
