Sd CONTINGENT
NATIONAL ARMY
FORWARD TODAY
Indications Favor Immediate
Examination Of Remaining
Seven Million Regis
tered Men.

Washington, Oct. 2,-The third
contingent of national army men will
begin moving tomorrow to the six
teen cantonments, where approxi-
mately one-haif of the $4,000 Sc
lected men called out by the president
already have been modified. Quotas
now ready to leave home vary greatly,
ranging from II to 40 per cent of the
full state quota, with general aver
age of between 20 and rs per cent.
Notifications of previous quota
plans was necessary because of the
conditions at the cantonments and
the availability of equipment.
Deficit of Men Certain.
Definite figures are still lacking as
to the number of selected men to be
transferred to the national guard avi-
alton Service, medical corps or other
branches of the army that will have
to be filled up to war strength. 1t is
certain, however, that the men re-
naming at the camps will not be suf-
hcient to fill the sixteen national army
divisions to full strength.
Secretary Baker indicated today
that no decision had been reached as
to when a second call will be made.
There are many deficiencies to be
flled"up in the first draft, physical
examination of the selected men by
army doctors at the camps having re-
suited in many objections.
Remainder May Be Examined.\
Decision of the war department on
the suggestion that the remaining
100000 registered men be examined
Immediately and classified for service
in order that they may have knowl-
edge of when to expect call to the
colors and arrange their affairs &C
cordingly awaits action by congress
on the war deficiency bill. ..
Secretary Baker said today that OF
some thirty-hve governors who had
been asked il they believed it was ex-
pedient to proceed with the examina.
ton OF all registered men, only two
had opposed the plan. Those who did
so on the ground 1t would
make too great demand on the time
of the examining boards, virtually all
the members of which are serving
without pay. @@t.

Now it is the users of hard coal who
are protesting, especially those house
holders who prefer the comfortable
base burner for heating purposes.
Because eastern manufacturers can
purchase hard coal for their furnaces
cheaper than they can ship in the soft
variety and because of the increased
demand for fuel, there is only a lim-
tied quantity of anthracite being
shipped out of the eastern fields. Con-

thirty-eight injured.
Londoners, despite the repeated
German attempts to drop bombs upon
the city, are standing the test we'll
Last night, when two squadrons OF
raiders succeeded in getting close to
London and some of their number
over the city, there was no panic and
no untoward incidents.
Immediately the coming of the
raiders was signalled, the people in
the streets scurried for cover, while
motor buses and carts drew up to the
curb, where the passengers alighted
quickly. Within five minutes the
streets were deserted virtually and
strange silence fell over the'city.
Most of the Offices and shops had
closed before E o'clock to permit
their employees to reach their homes,
and there was only fraction of the
number of persons on the street as
under normal circumstances. With
the gathering Of the dusk, many of the
poorer classes, particularly the
women and children, had gathered at
the tube station around the Guild flatf
and St. Paups and other places Of
refuge. The police and special con-
stables aligned them in files and when
the warning was given they were
shepherded into the refugees without
confusion or crowding. The theaters
which are open had small audiences
and the majority of the restaurants
were almost deserted.
The air battles over London have
become so much a matter of course
that whenever there was lull for a
few minutes in the firing, the buses
started running again and the people
hocked into the street.
When the raiders appeared last
night terrific barrage was sent up
from the defense guns and the roar of
battle lasted intermittently for two
and a half hours.
The Germans bombed coast towns
as they passed over and proceeded
toward London. Two of the groups
succeeded i'll getting number of ma
chimes through the sky barrage.
Numerous bombs were dropped on
the southwestern district, which is
thickly populated with the homes of
the upper and middle classes. The
fire from the defending guns was
longer and louder than ever before. A
rain of shrapnel fell in all sections

Farmer Boys Short Course at Ruston.

Farmer Boys Short Course at Ruston.
Beginning Wednesday. July IL.
and continuing for three days,
the agricultural department of
the Louisiana Industrial Institute
at Ruston will offer to the farmer
boys of North Louisiana and 9TH
ers interested in agriculture its
first annual Farmer Boys Short
Course.
A broad and practical course,
touching on almost all phases of
farm life has been arranged, and
we'll known agricultural speakers
will be on hand to present the
various topics. Practical lectures,
illustrated talks, demonstrations.
ETC., will be given, and the mod
ell farm, the modern dairy barn,
creamery, and all other features
of the agricultural department
will be open for inspection and
study at all times.
Although the course has been
arranged with the interest, main
ly, of the boys in mind, it is hoped
there will be a good attendance
of farmers as well, because the
work will be of such a character
as to be of benefit to them.
Instructions will be entirely
without cost. All boys who 60
will be taken care of at the Insti-
tute at the small cost of rs cents
per day for board and room. Pa
rents need not be afraid to let
their boys go alone, as they will
be carefully taken care of while
in Ruston. A detailed program
course has been prepared and
will be mailed to any one inter-
ested in the work. Any addi-
tional information desired can be
secured by writing to the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, L. |. l.,
