TWENTY REJECTED AT CAMP.
Local Board Officially Notified Of Mel
Discharged.

Twenty of the young men sent to
Camp Lewis with the draft contin-
gents from this county were rejected
at the camp for physical reasons and
have been discharged, according to
official notification received by the
local board this week. Though this
makes the county's quota short, the
credits due on enlistments probably
will make 1t unnecessary to call any
more at present.
Following are the 20 who were re.
jected: Harold Abbott, Travis E.

Blankenship, George Edward Dia.

READY TO DECLARE
WAR WITH AUSTRIA
CONGRESS- PREPARES TO ACT
ON WILSON'S RECOMMEND
ALTON.

With a resolution before the
house for action Friday, approved
by President Wilson and Secretary
of State Lansing, congress has paved
the way for prompt response to the
presidents call for declaration of
war with Austria-Hungary, dating
from Wednesday noon, and 1t is ex-
pected that it will pass both houses
by the first of next week.
Recommendations that congress
declare recognition of state of war
with Germany's chief ally was a
feature of the presidents annual
message to congress, delivered Tues
day afternoon, in which he also made
definite statement to the world of
Americas aims and of the basis upon
which peace will be considered.
Referring to Turkey and Bulgaria
also .Germany's tools-he coun-
seled delay as to war declarations,
because "they did not yet stand in
the direct path OF our necessary &C
tion."
To win the war, the president de-
clared in emphatic and ringing tones.
is the immediate and unalterable
task ahead. He urged congress to
concentrate itself upon it.
The president sharply dismissed
the possibility Of premature peace,
sought by German intrigue and de-
bated here by men who he declared
understand neither its nature nor
the way it may be attained.
With victory an accomplished fact,
he said, peace will be evolved based
upon "mercy and justice"-to enemy
and friend--with hope of partner
ship of nations to guarantee future
world peace.
The war will be deemed won, he
declared. "when the German people
say to us, through properly accred-
tied representatives, that they are
ready to agree to settlement based
upon justice and reparation of the
wrongs their rulers have done"

TO HOLD WAR MEETINGS.
Defense Council Plans Energetic
Educational Campaign.

Meetings are to be held in every
schoolhouse of the county during the
next 80 days under the auspices of
the County Council of Defense, in a
campaign of instruction and educa-
tion to awaken local people to the
serious nature of the war situation.
Decision to hold such meetings
followed report by Attorney
Thomas NJ. Vance. chairman of the
Councils committee on public infor-
nation, who. with other local speak
ers, has been addressing meetings
lately, explaining the new draft reg
ulations. Mr.. Vance told the Coun-
Gil members that, hard as it may be
to realize it, an unfortunately large
number of people do not understand
the precarious situation in which
America stands, that to many the
war is still far away. A similar re-
port was made by Mrs. j. W. NOVEL;,
chairman of the woman's work COM
mittee.

PRICE Of LUMBER
TO Be FIXED NEXT
MANUFACTURERS TAKE PLAN UP
WITH WAR INDUSTRIES
BOARD.

Lumber is the next basic commod-
ity to go through the government
price-fixing process. Action in this
connection will take place imme-
diately national capital dispatches
say.
Unlike government price-fixing in
other lines the manufacturers are
taking the initiative at least the West
coast lumber manufacturers, they re-
garding government regulation of
prices essential to war service eff
cheney. r. B. Allen secretary of the
Association, has had frequent con-
ferences with the war industries
board regarding government regula-
tion.
The South's attitude on govern
ment price-fixing is not known, but
there is likely to be some objection
to the program from that source.
especially since the West coast man
ufacturers have coupled it up more
or less with a proposition for ma
tional eight-hour day within the lum-
ber industry.
During the labor disturbances in
this state last summer, the manufac-
turers said they favored va national
eight-hour day. but could not grant
the regional eight-hour day on ac-
count of competitive marketing con-
ditions in which the South. already
having the advantage of lower wages,
longer hours, shorter freight hauls
nd cheaper freight rates. would
have still further and added differ
entail Of $3.50 per thousand feet of
lumber in favor of Southern mills.
The West coast lumbermen are
now making good their eight-hour
day promise. but are uncovering con-
siderable opposition from the manu-
facturers of the South.

REe|STRANTS HAVE TILL
DECEMBER IS TO ENLIST
War Department Again Changes the
Rules-LOcal Boards to Grant
Permits.

Once more the war department has
changed its attitude on the matter of
enlisting registered and certified
men in this state who were not need
ed to fill the state quota. Such men
may now enlist in either army or
navy, according to choice of service,
until December Is.
Permission had been previously
granted and later rescinded. The
war departments latest order permit
ting enlistment follows:
Between now and December Is it
is desired to afford registrants as
wide an opportunity as possible to
enlist in both army and navy; there
fore. any registrant, even though he
has been called by his local board to
report for physical examination, may
enlist until December Is, upon pre-
sentation to the United States re-
cruiting officer of certificate from
his local board that he will not be
needed to fill any deferred percentage
Of the quota of that board.
"Regardless of re-examination of
registrants under the new selective
service regulations, each board
should keep available and should re-
fuse permission to enlist to a suffi-
cient number of selected men to COM
plete deferred percentages of their
quotas"

COLOR OF PASS NO HINT
As TO SOLDIERS HEALTH
Merely Indicates Conformity to Mill.
tary Rules, Colonel Saville
Explains.

The color of the pass carried by
the soldiers visiting Olympia, wteth-
er the card is blue, pink or white,
has nothing whatever to do with
their physical condition but is mere
ly indicative of the extent to which
they conform to military discipline,
Colonel Saville, head of the military
police at Camp Lewis, told Mayor
Jesse T. Mills and Police Chief
Harry Cusack Wednesday.
The local officials informed the
army officer of the stories that have
been going the rounds locally, par
ticularly with reference to the men
bearing white passes, and the
Colonel Is reported to have been ut
terly fiabbergasted. When he re-
covered he explained that man
would receive white pass instead
of a blue one for some infraction Of
military discipline, such as a button
missing from his uniform or un-
shined shoes, while a man might be
given a pink pass for being late in
reporting for duty. The blue pass
men are those who have conformed
to military rules in every particular.
"No man who is not physically
we'll is permitted to leave the camp"
Colonel Saville said. "The color of
the passes merely indicates how we'll
the men are living up to military dis
cipline."

Tuesday the senate and house met
In joint session at 1920 p. m, to

war measures.
Senator Martin, Democratic leader
in the senate, said there would be
little time for other than war prob
lens, and Representative Kitchin,
the house floor leader, announced
that he was disposed to favor the

are being made by Captain E. A. Nc
