WASKEY RETURNS
SUCCEEDS IN GETTING GOOD AS
SURANCE - RULES ARE
HARD TO BREAK.

Returning this afternoon from
Washington, Geo. II. Waskey ex-
presses himself as being well salts
fled with the results of the recent
remonstrance. and his trip to the
capital in its support, for the use of
better brick in the construction Of
the new postoffice building. While
nothing is promised absolutely, the
supervising architect, Jas. A. Wet
more. assured him that a better
brick would be used than one which
would absorb Is per cent or more of
moisture. and expressed the opinion
that $1,000 additional might be eX-
pected in making the change in
brick.
Mr.. Waskey was in Washington
from Friday morning until Tuesday
afternoon. He interested Senator Il.
S. Johnson and Congressman G. II.
Dillon in the matter, and they gave
what assistance they might. The
matter was left in the hands of Mr..
Dillon when Mr.. Waskey returned to
Madison.
AS is well understood at this time
the 100000 Of appropriation was one
obtained for a building not to cost
over that amount. Instead Of as
formerly. a building is calculated to
come within the Appropriation in
stead Of using the whole amount.
Congressman Dillon's bills were for
making the amounts available.
Incidents in the construction other
than of the brick were unobtainable,
Mr.. Waskey says. Under the rule of
the supervising architect, who is lord
over his department. there is little
use in appeal. 1t was only on the
showing made that the brick pro
posed vas unsuitable for this climate
that the change was tentatively all
lowed.
Although the trees are in full leaf.
and flowers in bloom, Mr.. Waskey
says the temperature was cool i'm
Washington until this week, when
the thermometer stood at so de-
grees above.
The subject of conversation there
is wholly n of military prepared
ness. Everything is closely guarded,
and where the national cemetery is.
near Arlington, Va, extensive tenn
porary barracks are being built.
Within a week $4,000 men are ex-
pected 10 be located there. Every
body is as busy preparing as can be.
and the work of educating the PEG
pie TO preparedness IS not being neg
lected.

CHIEFLY MILITARY
MEN PREPARE, DRILLING DAILY
- CONSUMPTION COMING
SOON-ONE FOR MARINE.

Harry Petheram enlisted today for
the marines, and goes TO Omaha to-
morrow for examination and for
warding instructions. No other en-
listments have been taken today.
The men put in an hour and a half
last night taking instructions i'm
drilling, using the high school
grounds as a parade ground. Facing
and foot movements were given the
men, in two squads. Following the
drill the Lyric theater entertained
them. with which entertainment they
were well pleased.
The enlisted men will be in force
at the loyalty rally at the high school
auditorium Friday evening. There
will be good speakers present. and
besides the entertainment offered,
there will be considerable of %instruc-
ton. Everybody should attend this
meeting.
1t is said that a call for conscrip-
ton will be prepared within the next
two weeks. Today County Auditor
Hartwich said that he had a call to
furnish the lists, but is waiting for a
fuller report as returned by the as
SCISSORS. When that report is reason
ably complete and sem to headquar-
tiers. we may expect individual invi-
ttaions for reporting to an army Of
ficer. and which invitation may not
be declined with thanks for the at
tention. This war business is becom-
ing real. and is being brought close
to our homes.

After many hours had elapsed

After several hours slow and pain

Early Official Registration Reports
Indicate War Departments Esti-
mate is Excessive.

First indications that Virginia's
war registration would exceed govern
ment estimates is not borne out by
the official figure received by Gov
ernor Henry C.. Stuart. Early re-
ports from the large centers of popu-
alton led to the belief that the en-
rollment would be far in excess OF
100000, but it is doubtful if more
than 185,000 men Of military age
have registered.
Fourteen of the nineteen cities
and forty of the 100 counties have
made their official reports to Gov
ernor Stuart. These cities and coun-
ties, which had 92,920 males between
the ages of twenty-one and thirty
one, according to government esti-
mates, only have a total enrolment
of 69,558. While Richmond, Norfolk,
and Roanoke have not reported Of
ficially, the unofficial returns show a
registration of $4,000 against the
government estimate of 1920 for
the three cities. Newport News
also has not reported.
Government estimates for Virginia
placed the number of males of the
prescribed ages at 2l1,333. Of this
basis the nineteen cities and forty
counties have registered approxi-
mately 100,450 men, against an esti-
mated number of 126,100. The re-
naming counties, sixty in number,
have an estimated population of s5,-
1913 men of conscription age. In
event everyone was registered, the
total enrolment for the State would
be approximately 185,750.

NARROW ESCAPE
Automobile Containing William
Priest and Niece Turns Over Mt
JOhnson's Hill.

William Priest, who conducts a
store at 800 north Patrick street, and
his niece had "a narrow escape while
on their way home from Washing

reached Johnson's Hill, where there
was congestion of automobiles, and
it became necessary to bring the
machine to a temporary standstll,
until the way could be opened.
Mr.. Priests niece was operating
the auto, and when she applied the
brake the auto skidded, ran into the
ditch and then shot up the bank. j.
The machine turned completely ov-

escaped with slight injuries. Mr.
Priest and his niece were later
brought to their home in this city, as
