with you thru all tests, and on which
is entered all your physical defects
He examines you to see if they are
sufficient to keep you out of the army
but nine times out of ten your card
record holds good. In this room, you
find out whether you are soldier Of
Uncle Sam or not. And it is with
great anxiety you listen to one of
two sentences the Captain issues,
Either it is Step into line which
means you have passed, or "R-E-J'
meaning rejected. If you pass, you
enter another room to be vaccinated
whether you have been before or not
and to receive your first shot in the
arm. This examination started at
$3.50 and we finished at 11:5O. All
this time, all you have on is your reg
istration card. They are rejecting
men at this station at the rate OF
about 80 per cent. Men who have had
previous service and who have taken
the examination before, say. it is the
strictest one given anywhere. In the
afternoon you are measured for cloth
ing, which is issued the next morning
An outfit consists of one coat, two
pair of pants, three undershirts, two
pair of shoes, two shirts, one hat, one
overcoat, three blankets, one bed tick
two towels, tooth brush and soap. This
outfit costs the government $3240.
Next you are assigned to your per-
manent quarters and from now on
are under military authority.

number is used in place of your name,
making it more convenient for exam
lining physicians. First YOU come to
the board who take record of your
age, branch of service you enlisted in,
height and weight, and examining the
teeth. Next you stand before one who
takes in all physical defects which ap-
pear on the surface. Then you pass on
and are asked in regard to whether
parents died of consumption or are
subject to nervousness. Next comes
the first glance at the eyes, final for
teeth, stomach and knees. Next the
car, nose and throat. Then the final
sight and hearing test. Exercises
come next to show that all bones are
in perfect working condition, also ex-
amined for hernia and other diseases
Now comes the part that gets good
many, the heart and lung test. You
are first required to take fast exer-
cises and then examined by physic
ian, who, if he should find anything
wrong, passes you on to another to
verify his diagnosis. This is the final
examination by physicians. You now
pass on to an army captain who looks

become ill thru his own folly, they will
care for you and cure you, but all the
time one is laid up he receives no pay
and after the war instead Of going
back with the boys, he will be held at
some station and put in as much time
as he spent in the hospital being
cured.
The other lecture was delivered by
the Colonel, commanding officer Of the
barracks, who dealt chiefly on disci-
pine and what is required in army
life.

W. C. DAVIS TELLS
ABOUT ARMY LIFE
Former Independent Employe Tells
About Rigid Examination at JEFF
fersOn Barracks, Attired Only
in His Birthday Clothes.

An interesting letter was received
from w. C. Davis, who was until re-
Gently connected with the Indepen-
dent, and who is now stationed at JEFF
ferson Barracks, Mo. Mr.. Davis re-
Gently enlisted in the army. He says
in part: "When you first come under
Uncle Sans command, you are not
under very strict discipline, but you
can feel it betting tighter and tighter
every day. The first thing required is
a shave and hair cut, regardless of
whether you had your hair cut the day
before or not. You must have an
army hair cut, no hair longer than
three inches. Three BARRIERS turn
them out on an average of 200 a day,
so you can imagine the service. All
there is to a shave is the once-over.
You wash off your own lather.

KEENE SOLDIER BROWNS.
Private Charles Russell of Company H
Meets Death in Merrimack.

KEENE,, n. H., July 3l.-The first ia
tality in the ranks of the two Keene
companies of the First New Hampshire
regiment, now in camp at Concord, came
Sunday when Private Charles Russell
of Company H was drowned in the Mer
rimack river not far from the camp
grounds.
Russell was % years old last April
and had lived in Keene since May. He
was the son of Mrs. Minnie Russell of
l79 South Lincoln street. He was ma
tive of New Brunswick and had lived in
Maiden, Mass, previous to coming to this
city.
1t is understood that Russell was not a
good swimmer and went to the river
with another soldier who could swim.
Russell stayed near the shore bathing
while the other man swan across. When
he returned Russell was nowhere to be
|seen. The body was afterward recov-
cred from a deep hole and a pulmotor
used, but with no avail.
Besides his mother Russell leaves two
sisters, Mrs. w b. Hathaway and Mrs.
Arthur Gauthier, both of Keene. The
body was brought here last night.

FLETCHER TO TELL
CARRANZA OF SPIES
The Numerous Activities of German
Agents in Mexico Arouse the
State Department

WASHINGTON, July 81. - So nu-
merous have become the reports of Ger
man spy activities and propaganda in
Mexico that Ambassador Fletcher is
prepared upon his arrival at Mexico
City to call the attention of the Mexi-
can government to the links in that
country between Berlin and German
agents in the United States
Officials of the state department do
not call into question the integrity of
the Mexican government, but the re-
ports have left no room to doubt the
existence of a German organization in
Mexico whose Vaccinations may be de-
fined as a violation of Mexico's neutral
ity.
When Carl Heynen was arrested a
few weeks ago on the charge of spy
activities in the United States it was
not known that his work extended to
Mexico, but since then evidence has
been produced to indicate that he was
intimately connected with that German
spy system.
One man whom agents of the United
States are watching is Richard Evers-
busch, the German consul at Tampico
| Mr.. Eversbusch was the partner III
business of Mr.. Heynen.

eerned over the possibility of curtail

ers and Cincinnati falling down before
Brooklyn, team they recently beat IN
the East five straight games, and st.
Louis losing to the broken down Moran
tribe.
Matty has secured Reuther, the Cubs
pitcher, from the coast at the waiver
price. Matty may be able to brace him
up in his pitching work and he is already
known as a hard hitter.
Foot" Ruell, known in about every
minor league in the East as good base
ball player and a popular fellow, has
announced that he is eighth on the
draft list he is going to enlist at once.
He has two brothers in the regular
army.
According to Philadelphia papers
Witt of the Athletics is out of the
game because of an injury and is not
likely to get back again so long as
Dugan goes the pace he is travelling.
Dugan enlisted under Mack from Holy
Cross, where he was rated as one of the
best college second basemen III years.

When it Is Hot.

Consider Mr. Shadrach,
OF fiery furnace fame;
He didn t bleat about the heat
Or fuss about the flame.
He didn t stew and worry,
And get his nerves in kinks,
Nor fill his skin with lines and gin
And other cooling drinks"
Consider Mr.. Meshaeh,
Who felt the furnace, too:
He let it sizz nor queried SIS
1t hot enough for your"
He didn't mop his forehead,
And hunt a shady spot:
Nor did he say, "Gee, what day,
Believe me, it s some hot
Consider, too, Abed-nego,
Who shared his comrade' s plight:
He didn t shake his coat and make
Himself holy sight.
He didn t wear suspenders
Without coat and vest:
Nor he didn t scowl and snort and howl
And make himself pest.
Consider, friends, this trio
How little fuss they made,
| They didn t curse when it was worse
Than ninety in the shade.
They moved about serenely
Within the furnace bright,
And soon forgot thattit was hot,
With ''no relief in sight,
