DRAFT APPEALS VOID
CASES AUTOMATICALLY THROWN
OUT BY NEW RULING.
Men Not Completely Crippled Will Be
Held Subject to Special
Army Duty.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Men who
have been drafted and have appeals
from the decision of their local board
pending will have their cases auto
matically thrown out by ruling of
Provost Marshal General Crowder In
connection with the revision of the
draft regulation.
Major Easby-Smith, legal expert Of
General Crowder'S staff, explained that
all such appeals will automatically
cease to exist, as the man will be re-
turned to his original status-that is,
to the position he was In before being
called before the draft board.
The provost marshal general made
clear on Sunday that because the new
regulations provide that men not com
pletely crippled may be held subject
for special army service. and will not
be exempted, this does not mean that
the army proposes to fill ~ its ranks
behind the lines and on routes Of com
munication with semidsqualified men.
Such men will be put practically in
special class and can be called only
under special and specific summons
for men disqualified for general mill
tary service, but qualified for special
service.

Rome, Nov. 20.-Further attempts
by the enemy TO force crossings of the
Piave river were frustrated by the
Italian troops, and in a brilliant coun-
ter-attack the Austro-German forces

the war office announced on Sunday.

EXPECT TO LEAVE
SOON FOR FRANCE.
RUMoR THAT BADGER GUARD
NOW AT WACO WILL MOVE
IN A SHORT TIME.
VOLUNTEERS CALLED FOR
Additional Men Are Required 10
Bring Regiments from 1000 to
$500 Men-Unmarried Reg
istered Men Joining.

Madison ~ AT the present rate at
which volunteers are joining the call
OF Adjutant General Holway for LOU
additional men at Waco, Tex, 1t is
probable that by the first of next
week, the ranks will be filed There
are requests to join coming from all
sections of the state. These additional
men are required By reason of change
in the federal ruling increasing the
size of the regiment from 1000 to j.
600 men.
Many of the unmarried men who
would come under the first call or the
second draft fixed for Dec. 10, are now
volunteering. BY going with the
guards they will get into service
quicker in France. So far as possible
the volunteers who now enlist Will be
assigned to their home companies.
While no definite information has
been received there is a feeling here
that the guard troops will soon De
moved. Upon the receipt of kilograms
from Col John p. Joachim and Capt.
Myron c. West of the headquarters
companies at Waco, Tex, their wives
have gone South. II is generally De
lieved here that Col Joachim and
Capt. West are about to start for
Somewhere in France" Should these
men leave within a short time 1t Is
probable that the companies will be
leaving shortly thereafter. The men
who now volunteer will go with these
same companies and will not have to
go through the long trainings at bar
racks camps.

FIND NITR0GLYCE2lk PLANT
Discovery of Stick of Dynamite BY
Boys Near Superior Leads to Place
Where "Soup" Was Made

Superior Investigation of the dis
covery OF a stick of dynamite by boys
playing in an outlying and sparsely
settled district resulted in the uncov-
ering by he police of plant which
had been the scene of much nitrogly-
cerine making. Whether the liquid
was to be used by yeggmen or for
bombs has not been determined. An
effort is being made to connect the
discovery with the killing of several
persons ut Virginia, Mimi, last week
by bombs. More than dozen stocks of
dynamite and the refuse of many doz-
en- more used in making the so-called
soup" were found. The spot, SCREEN
ed from the nearest road by heavy
bushes. was thickly strewn with wrap
pings and packings of the explosive.

COUNTRY LADS WIN
At RIFLE PRACTICE
BADGER BOYS FROM RURAL DIS
TRIcTs SCORE OVER CITY
CONTESTANTS.
FIRST WORK SATISFACTORY
With Little More Practice Wisconsin
Soldiers Will Be Crack Shots.
Will Study War by Viewing
Movies Of Battle Front.

Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. - The
first weeks test on the new Camp
Grant rifle range demonstrated that
when it comes to hitting the bullseye
the lads from the country have it on
the city chaps every time.
The two prairie regiments at the
camp, the 342d. recruited from north
orn Illinois. and the 34lst, the Wiscon-
sin organization, led in the work on
the range by a satisfactory margin.
The 342d topped the list of infantry
commands, shooting with an average
of 1872. The 341st was second, with
an average of 375 The 343d and
344th, which hail from the west and
north sides OF Chicago, respectively,
were next in line. their country
brethren having accumulated greater
number of hullseyes than they with
their big city range OF vision were
able to.
The results of the first week on the
rifle range are declared to be eminent
~ satisfactory. Many Wisconsin boys
who scarcely ever had hold of a rifle
previously went ont and made mark
of better than 40 out of a possible so.
With a little more practice the boys
of the Eighty-sixth division are going
to be in real shape to take care of the
Fritz snipers along the battle front.
Selectiye men at Camp Grant will
soon be given an opportunity to add to
their knowledge of the game of war
through the movies as well as on the
drill field and in the study room. Maj
Gen. Barry has ordered sets of motion
pictures showing Important phases in
training They have been prepared un-
der the direction OF the general staff
and an officer will 'e detailed to care
for them and to work out a schedule
of instructive entertainment
With three phases of army instruc-
ton open to them the recruits OF the
Eighty.sixth division are expected To
make rapid progress and consequently
to be fit for service across the water
sooner than was even anticipated.
