Constable M. A. lobe of Mt.

Harris has twice faced capital charges for attacks made on girls in the vicinity of Mt. Vernon, serving one term in the reform school and afterwards being adjudged insane and committed to the state hospital. Mr. lobe said the community was al most thrown into a panic by Harris return last week and that he had been annoying women to such an ex- tent that it was thought advisable to have him confined again.

London, Aug. 15.-American troops
marched through London today
They were reviewed by Ambassador
Page and later by King George Of
Buckingham palace. Great crowds
lined the streets which were decorat-
ed profusely with American and
British flags. Enthusiasm was shown
everywhere. The Americans were
cheered by civilians and soldiers on
their way to the front and by
wounded men.
A meeting of the cabinet was in
progress when the Americans ap-
preached Whitehall It was adjourn

Washington, Aug. 15.-
Administration officials to-
day awaited the official text
of Pope Benedict's peace
proposals before giving any
intimation of the nature of
tn e reply to be given the
vatican. That the peace
offer will require an answer
is acknowledged by officials
but it is believed that the
interviews of the allies re-
quire a rejection. It is vir-
tually certain that the pro-
posal cannot be accepted in
its present form.

The proposals were sent by cour-
iers, to the European government.
Arrangements were made to cable
the document from England TO

the time which would be required to
forward it to those points by courier
or mail.
Rome, Aug. 15.-The peace pro-
posals of Pope Benedict were writ
ten entirely in his own hand writ
ing. The Pope consulted Cardinal
Gasparri, papn1 secretary Of state;
Archbishop Ceretti assistant papal
secretary of state and Monsignor
Tedeschini, papal under-secretary Of
state in formulating the document.

Previous Occupations Will

BRIEF LIFE HISTORY
OF EACH MAN ASKED
Little Can be Done Toward
Assigning Men Before
Mobilization
fRy.-Asseelated Press.l

Washington, Aug. 49, Army ofif-
GERS who will organize the national
army division face the test of MAX
ing the best possible use OF the men
selected for military duty by the
local boards.
1t is the intention Of the war de-
partment to get the maximum
advantage out of each mans special
occupation and his previous occupa-
ton will be considered in assigning
him to duty.
To accomplish this, descriptive
lists Of all drafted men will be made
out as soon as they reach their train
Ing cantonments. They will contain
an abstract of the life history of the
soldier. showing what occupation he
has been engaged in. From these a
preliminary classification can be
made.
A process of shifting and transfer
undoubtedly will ensue as the
individuals are sorted out. One man
will be assigned to transport trains
because Of his special knowledge Of
horses, or motor trucks; another to
hospital work because of previous
training in that line; another to
aviation because he has worked with
the gas engines; still another to the
artillery because he shows special
ability, in that line or his civil occu-
patton has trained his sight and
hands. There is hardly civil trade
or occupation. that has not its coun-
ter part in the army, and no efforts
will be spared to get the right man
in the right place in the new forces.
Already officials are being besieged
with requests from men already held
for military duty for assignments as
to particular arms of the service.
Little can be done in that regard in
advance of actual mobilization.
Presumably the first increment to
reach camp will be organized as
infantry companies. After some
weeks of elementary drill, the
organization of signal, engineers,
artillery and other special units will
begin. At the same time the officers
will begin to get a line of men who
are likely candidates for future COM
missions
