Now the service within the Red Cross is also
two-fold. Some timorous individuals seem to
fear that in volunteering to help in the Red
Cross work they enlisting for definite terms
and may be dispatched to any point selected by
their superior officers. But this is far from be-
ing the case. The stories we will read after the
war of beautiful young girls who bravely joined
the Red Cross and did heroic nursing service in
the base hospitals will be purely fiction The
Red Cross will not let any woman serve at the
front as a nurse even if she demands the privi-
lege, unless she Is q graduate nurse of some
recognized institution. The nursing service is
already recruited up to its limit, and it will be
long time before all of its enrolled nurses see
war hospital service.
But limited number of men and women
volunteers who desire to experience Red Cross
service with the Army will be given the chance.
A few ambulance drivers and men who can do
special executive work will be needed with the
units sent abroad And the hospitals also have
work for non-professional women-superintend-
ing the homework at the hospital and serving
as matrons of the nurses doraitories, and 50 on.
These women are to be called nurses aids. 1t is
estimated that there will be as many of them as
there are nurses, so that if 1000 nurses are all
sent across the ocean, that many nurses aids will
accompany them.
The service which the Red Cross asks Of the
MILLIONS OF american women anxious TO ucIp Will
be purely voluntary, Embossed, home service.
For the most part it will be needlework, the
preparation of supplies. These supplies include
surgical dressings, which cannot be made for
the Red Cross unless the seamstress has had
special instruction in the work, and other
articles such as bed linen, pajamas, bathrobes,
and other comforts which sick men in hospitals
need. Most of these latter can be made by any
intelligent woman without special attention. All
such articles must comply with standard speci-
fcations, but these specifications and plain drec-
tions are furnished BY the Red Cross. The ma
terials are bought by the volunteer.
To train lay women for the various tasks
which must be done in great numbers if the
nursing service is to have the home support
which will make it success, the Red Cross in
many cities conducts special courses of instruc-
ton. Glasses for this instruction can be or
ganized by any ten. women together, and except
in extraordinary instances the expert teachers
will be furnished. The Red Cross now has
tremendous call upon it for these teachers, and
in some cases it is impossible to supply them.
There are three of these courses. named re-

already made in the state guard and

mated at about $50; but this is a.

Exemption Claims.
Any persons planning to file ex-

county auditor will have the blanks.
No local board can pass upon. ex-
emption claims by reason of voca-,

the district board. The exemption
board consists of DR.. DePuy, the
county physician, County Auditor
nlewett, and Sheriff Ross. If after
the first lot of candidates have been
examined, and the county's quota is
still short, additional persons will
be summoned to complete the quota.

Washington, July IS. The
race between the states for the
honor Of being the first to fill
their quotas under the selective
draft was on today in earnest.
Calling up men for physical
examination began today in sew
eral regions. Meanwhile, details
Of the machinery for actually
calling accepted men into SER
vice and sending them to their
mobilization camps are being
worked out. Provost Marshal
General Crowder has already
ruled that the claims Of the army
attaches to any registered man
as soon as the selection boards
have posted him as accepted, and
from that time on, unless he is
exempted, he will be subject to-
military law and the articles Of
war. Failure to appear when
called viii bring the military
forces Of the provost marshal

fore a<court martial. : This rul-

It appears probable that accepted
men when the mobilization order for
sthe new army isssiven, will be first
assembled in their selected board
headquarters. Their distribution
among; the sixteen cantonments,
General Crowder said today, would
be governed by two rules first, the
section Of the law requiring that
they be assigned as far as possible
to duty with troops from their own
states, and, secondly. the location of
the nearest Ecantonment to- reduce
the transportation problem as much
as possible 9S ,ss
No information has reached Gen.
eral growder indicating that there
will be- any need to summon q second
draft In addition to the $4,000 0smen
now called for during the present
year. Gen. Crowder said today he
had understood: that draft machinery
wouldsnot need to be employed again
during the present year although It
will be kept intact. Estimates to:
cover expense Of the second incre-
ment have been submitted. because
these expenditures must be made in
advance to the call to have the
equipment and quarters ready for
the sums must be actually on hand
when the call iss made.

for women and children. The raider frequently was re-painted, and had on board sufficient material completely to change her appearance.
 There is disagreement among the men landed here as to whether the raider is armored. All of them agree, however, that the raider is thorough ly equipped and that no detail in this respect has been overlooked. As an example, they say, each prisoner boarding the raider is furnished with kit and blanket.
 The prisoners are kept in the hold between iron doors. Enemy prisoners, it was stated. were allowed an hour daily for exercise, while neutrals, who wore white bands on their sleeves, were granted greater liberties and also given a Christmas present by the Germans.
 Quoting a captured British captain, the raider is a dangerous boat in the hands Oi a clever man.

BIRTH CONTROL WOMEN TAKE
 FOOD AND GO TO TRiAl


 NEW YORK, Jan. 29. - Two birth control propagandists, Mrs. Margaret Sanger and Miss Fannia Mondell, eer tried in Brooklyn today for cir culating their literature, while a third, Mrs Ethel Byrne, sister of Mrs. Sanger, took food voluntarily for the first time as a prisoner on Blackwell's Island. Mrs. Byrne, while refusing to accept nourishment from a glass, did aid in placing tube in her mouth, ac- cording to the prison authorities and thus brought to a virtual close her hunger strike" begun last Monday and interrupted few days ago when she was forced to eat.
 Decision was reserved in the cases of Mrs. Sanger and Miss Mondell. The district attorney and counsel for the women were given until February to submit briefs. The defendants an nounced they would begin a hunger strike" if convicted and sent to jail.
 Regarding Mrs. Byrne a prison 0ul- letin issued tonight said her physical condition was good and her mental condition very good"
