CUBAN CONGRESS BEGAN
FALL SESSION TODAY
COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE
ONE OF CHIEF ISSUES BEFORE
THE LAWMAKERS OF THE LIT
TIE REPUBLIC.

HAVANA, Cuba, Nov. THE Cuban
congress which convened today, win
be urged to authorize either conscrip-
rior of selective draft. The raising
and equipment in the near future of
a strong military force, in line with
President Menocals recommendations
/ his last message, and with the plan
of Cuba Council of National Defense,
await only the determination of the
method to Re followed, rather than the
wisdoIa Of the policy. Leaders of both
political parties are in accord cons
corning the raising of a large military
force, possibly to the extent of $4,000
men, with strengthening of existing
military and naval unist not included
in this estimate.
Whatever the character of the NIL
tary measure to be enacted, all ind1-
cations are for speedy action. The at
titude of the conservatives has re-
Gently become more pronounced in Its
favor and statements of the leaders in
dicate no opposition to the increase of
Cubas war strength. The Liberals, on
the other hand, have no program OF
opposition and the administration press
halls conscription or the selctive draft
as an omen of Cubas loyalty and Of
her national integrity.

RED CROSS NEEDS
ADDITIONAL NURSES

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov As the war
goes on. and Americas preparation
for active fighting extends the scope
of its ratifications, it becomes increas-
ingly apparent that the country's
needs is not for men alone, which it
has in superabundance, but for multi
plied thousands of materials, and for
women to serve in various depart
ments where none but women can he
used.
The Red Cross, for instance, needs
more nurses. Thousands must be Sc
cured to send to the hospitals back
of the figting line in France. AS
American troops go into action the
stream of wounded will begin to flo3
back from the front line trenches,
and the American Red Cross must be
equipped and ready to take these men
aud nurse them back to lire.
Southern girls are appealed to D!
the southern division of the Red Cross,
has headquarters in Atlanta, to so
into nurses training at once, to pre-
mare themselves for the greatest serv-
ice that women can render in the
war.

COMMISSION CAN
NOT USE MONEY
Marketing Appropriation Held
Not Available,
WORK NOT TO BE STOPPED
GauIt Would Advance Money
for Incidental Expenses,

The announcement from the attorney
generals office today that money ap-
propriated for the state marketing com
mission would be available only for
salaries was followed quickly by de
cision OF the commission TO carry out
the marketing work to the greatest pos
sible extent, despite the Gripping inter
pretation placed on the appropriation
bill
$4,000 Appropriated.
The Sixth legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the market commission but
did not provide specifically for money
to be paid out for expenses other than
the salary Of secretary and stcnog
rapher. This will amount to 5000,
leaving 5000 of the appropriation that
cannot be touched
Guy +. Nelson, assistant attorney
general, in statement given out today,
declared the appropriation bill was so
worded as to make it impossible for the
marketing commission to even purchase
a postage stamp from the fund set aside.
He pointed out several means, however,
by which the commission could con-
tinue its work
To Buy Furniture.
The state board of affairs will pur-
chase furniture for the marketing com
mission. BY cooperating with the fed
eral marketing officials the government
frank may be used, making it unneces-
sary to purchase stamps.
Frank II Caut, president of the
board of agriculture, saycs the inciden-
tai expenses of the marketing commits
sion's work will be taken care of in
some manner if he has to advance the
money personally.
Through cooperation with county
agents and with the federal govern
mcnt it is not believed that much money
will be required for incidentals.

Newspapers in the big centcrs Of the

clearly every day the magnitude Of the
task before them In announcing the or
der for appearance Of each regisrant.
1t seems likely now that a majority OF
the papers will be compelled to print on
the first day only the names Of the men
who are likely to be called to make up
the $4,000 to be drafted for military
service. In each state the number that
will be drafted from each district in the
state is now being determined by the
governor
Quotas Vary Widely.
The allotment of quotas by districts
may range widely in the state. Dis
tricts may be called upon for several
hundred men and another district for
only two or three, due to credits for
volunteers, distribution OF registran,s
or other factors which the governors
are considering in making allotments.
Another factor in the drawing that
may prove purzling is the fact that the
rotation numbers will not be the same
in every district For instance, il the
largest district has 1000 men registered
and the smallest 1872, and the others
range between 1000 numbers would
have to be drawn. The first serial num-

that number 6,77s would be first up in

more. II would mean nothing TO any
district with less than 6,775 registrants.
