KANSANS EXPECTING CALL.
II, 900 VIII Go Into Federal Service
From This State.

There is slight chance that the Kan
sas guardsmen will be called to fed
eral service before August 5. That
is the opinion today in national guard
circles. Reports sent from Washing
ton several weeks ago gave August
as the date when Kansas guards
would enter the federal service. Moth
ing has indicated a change in the
original date.
Plans are practically completed for
mastering in the guard units early
next month. Practically IL, 900 Kan
sans will be affected by the call, while
643S men will be affected by the Sc
lective draft. The men subject to
draft. however, will probably not be
called until some time in September.

TWO DEAD IN CISTERN
Brothers Probably Killed by Sewer
Gas-Attempt at Rescue Fails.

ST. Louis, July 24.-Joseph and
Louis Moss, brothers, were found dead
today in an abandoned cistern. The
men are thought to have fallen into
the cistern accidentally and to have
been killed by sewer gas.
A rope tied arounc the body of
Joseph, with the other end lying on
the floor of a barn, led the police to
believe that Joseph fell in first; that
Louis was dragged in while trying to
rescue his brother, and that both were
killed by gas arising from the mire in
the bottom of the cistern
