assailed the special munitions manu-

OWING TO VACANCIES
Secretary Baker Says That No Date
Has Been Fixed For The
Second Draft.

Washington, Oct. 3.--The third
contingent of national army men will
begin moving today to the 16 canton
ments, where approximately one half
of the $4,000 selected men called out
by the president already have been
mobilized. Quotas now ready to
leave home vary greatly, ranging from
IL to 40 per cent Of the full state
quotas, with a general average of be-
tween 20 and 25 per cent.
Definite figures still are lacking as
to the number of selected men to be
transferred TO the National Guard,
aviation service, medical corps or
other branches of the army that will
have to be filed up to war strength
II is certain, however, that the men
remaining at the camps will not be
sufficient to form the 16 national
army divisions at full strength.
Secretary Baker indicated today
that no decision had been reached
as to when a second call will be made.
There are many deficiencies to be
filled in the first draft, physical ex-
animation Of the selected men by
army doctors at the camps having
resulted in many reflections. There ap-

IN GOD WE TRUST.

1--WE have been given the opportu-
nifty to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves" explains Presiden,
Wilson in his Thanksgiving Proclama-
ton calling for "a new and greater
national spirit"
"A new light shines upon US.
We shall never again be divided or
wonder what stuff we are made off,
says the President. After what has
happened in the past year we should
know where we stand. Before our
entrance into this war we were divid-
ed, as we had never dreamed was
possible. Now, however, the national
spirit is becoming rapidly a single
conception Of what is right and
proper.
On the Thanksgiving Day that
marks this year the American people
can we'll gather in their homes and
pray to an omnipotent God that in
all humbleness of spirit we may look
always to Him for guidance" Thus
We renew again our faith in the ma
ton, and live up to its motto.

If we could have restored TO US

From Boston and our Bunker Hill.
From Gloucester and Salem ana

They come our ranks to fill.

brave Warren
Still courses in their veins.
And the courage of Israel putnam
In his descendants still remains.

While the Yankees respond with

For the North and South are now

Which Uncle Sam will hail with
