Former Chicago Clergyman Making
Plans for American Unit

Former Chicago Clergyman Making
| Plans for American Unit
London, May 2S--Lieutenant-
Colonel C. Seymour Bullock. of the
Canadian army, former Chicago
clergyman, has completed organiza-
tion plans for the first all-American
army to be formed in England to fight
under the Stars and Stripes in France.
| If congress will accept this means of
speedily placing the flag in the
| trenches the force will be constituted
as a unit of the United States army,
with a strength of 10000 seasoned
| American officers and men from the
British front. 1t is hoped to add to
the strength at least 1900 more from
the civilian population of Great Brit
| ain and France.
Colonel Bullock has enlisted Consul
General Skinner of London in support
of his plan. The Consul-General for
warded the suggestion to Washington
and Bullock, through his acquaintance
with Senator Smith of Michigan and
former Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts, hopes TO receive the
necessary authorization from Con-
gress.
The 10000 men will not be sent to
France in body. II is intended to
take over only small sector of the
line manned by one battalion as re-
serve force to be drawn upon for re-
Inducements when casualties are suf
fered AS casualties average about so
per cent of a fighting force for every
as days of aggressive fighting, there
will still be a reserve of almost 5000
men when the American million is
ready to sail for Europe.
officers are plentiful among the |
American soldiers in Europe. The |
names already registered with Colonel |
Bullock include officers from is states, |
the Philippines and Alaska Pri-
Yates in one Canadian battalion alone
Came from AZ states, Alaska. Porto
Rico, the Philippines and Cuba. The
new force will be especially well-off
fer machine-gun officers and crews
and bombers.
The Allied armies have drawn a
total of 10000 Americans since the
war began. The extent of their cas-
ualties can be estimated from the con
sentative optimism OF Colonel Bullock.

Auditors Office
Busy Registering
MANY SEEK TO AVOID THE PENALTY
Everyone Failing to Register Liable to lmpriSOR
ment and Military Service.

AS the time draws near for
registration the county auditors
Office is kept busy registering
persons who expect to be away
from their home precinct on eg-
istration day. The law provides
a severe penalty for failure to
register and only one day is Civ
EN- for the registration so it is
wise to take no chances on not
being able to be present and reg
lister on that day.
There is considerable talk
throughout the country that some
will try to evade the draft by not
registering and some of this talk
has been heard here. The U. S.
officials and secret service men
are keeping a close watch on all
such persons and a number of
arrests have been made in diff
ferent parts of the country of
persons trying to influence
others not to register.
The penalty for anyone who
fails to register is arrest and i'm
prisonment for one year, without
any alternative, and an arrest
and conviction for failure to reg
lister automatically registers the
person convicted and he becomes
liable for military service.
It is very necessary that tran
sients and persons who have no
fixed place of abode register and
get their certificate of registra-
tion if they wish to keep out of
trouble as they are liable to ar
rest at any time if they do not
have their certificate to show and
this arrest means the penalty as
stated above. If a person is ar
ested for failure to register the
defense that he is exempt by rea-
son of physical disability OF
any other reason is not consid-
cred. Failure to register, fol
any reason whatever, will b'
punished.
The chance that anyone fail
ing to register will escape ar
rest and Imprisonment is yer.

Mildred Boutwell,
Has Narrow Escape
FALLS FROM RONBOAT INTO RIVER
Is Rescued by Frank Vincent Who Dives For Her
as She Goes Down For Second Time.

Mildred Boutwell, had a very
narrow escape from drowning
Wednesday afternoon. About
SIX o'clock she came across the
river in a boat with her younger
lrother and sister. AS they
came up to the dock in front Of
The SHELTON & Warren block the
loat struck a piling which was
covered with water. Miss Both
we'll had risen preparatory to step
ping out of the boat and as it
struck the piling she lost her
ialance and plunged headlong in
to the water which is probably
ever thirty feet deep at that point.
She was wearing a heavy wool
IN sweater and sunk at once.
Frank Vincent, a hOmesteader
residing on Harrison Flats, was
among a crowd which saw the
accident and he at once threw off
his coat and plunged in after her.
She had sunk the second time
and he dove in an attempt to
reach her but could not find her.
AS he reached the surface after
ihe dive she came up close by
and he swan a few strokes and
reached her just as she was about
TO sink for the third time. He
spoke to her telling her that she
was safe and she hept her head
remarkably and did not struggle.
Mr.. Vincent then swan a short
distance and reached the cable
which holds the barge used as
an Office by the Red Collar Line.
Willing hands drew them onto
the barge and neither Miss Both
we'll nor her rescuer were the
worse for their experience. If
it had not been for the quickness
end presence of mind of Mr.. Vim
cent different story would have
to be told and he is Untitled to
nuch credit for the promptness
with which he went to her aid.

WOMEN'S CIVIC LEAGUE
DOING GOOD WORK

The Women's Central Civic
League of the city met Monday in
an adjourned meeting. Some
unfinished business was taken up
and completed and some new
business was taken up. The
committee on Ways and Means
made a report advancing some
good ideas which were accepted
by the league and which will be
published and acted on later.
That the league, in conjunction
with the greater food production
committee, is doing good wok
Ican eadily be seen and realized
by taking a trip around the city,
the appearance of which has been
changed i'm a wonderful manner.
Vacant lots which were formerly
covered with stumps, brush and
rubbish, making a very unsightly
appearance, have been cleared up
and some kind of crops planted.
The general improved condi-
ton of the vacant lots has acted
as an example for the residents
and property owners to improve
their places and a benefit TO the
entire city has resulted. This
benefit is realized even if not a
pound more vegetables should be
raised and will prove a good in
vestment in the increased value
LOl property.
