AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR- TIERS, France, Nov. 5-If the marines had time to go fishing and some place to fish there might be fish for dinner every night, lacking these essentials for angling-a lot of angle-worms are going to waste.

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. Warren Mclean, aged 80 years, has returned to his home in Anoka, Minn. to re- sume the thread of his lite, which he lost 13 years ago when he was kicked by a horse. Recently he was struck by a falling tree on his homestead near Rose Lake, Idaho where he had lived for many years. and lost mem ory of his life in the West. Finally he was struck by train and regain ed his recollection of early days.
 When he spent night in a local hotel recently enroute to Minnesota, he imagined he was in Crookston in the same state, according to his only daughter, Mrs. B. S. Fairbanks of White Earth, Minn., who came to take him east. He commented on the great change that had come over the town, and in reading a newspaper was unable to understand why he had got so sadly out of touch with the world events.

WANT ID FIGHT UNDER STARS
 AYR STRIPES
(By the United Press)

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR- TIERS, France. Nov 5-vJust a little matter of precedent seems to be all that is keeping scores of patriotic young men of tried bravery from of fering their lives to their country. They are fighting here in France, the survivors of five battalions of Amer jeans who joined the Canadian army to gain time in killing Germans. Those who are living and still taking their turn in the trenches have seen hun dreds of their friends blown up by shells, choked by gas or moved down by the machine guns. Although the new American army could use these Americans, particularly the specializ- be blocked by the technical fact that they alienated themselves when they joined the Canadians. To join the American army they must become Am ericans and to become Americans they must journey home and obtain their papers. Very few can afford to do that and besides, the Canadian authorities are disposed to release from fighting only those whom the American army make application for. This is the for lorn admission of one American of ficer who applied for an American commission the day we declared war. ''I have almost given up hope of ever fighting with my own army. Our fel- lows in the trenches could certainly give some valuable lessons in fighting to the American troops. I wish 1t would come to pass-we would like to be with our own people. But they don't seem to want us''.

Attorneys Let Errors Creep
Into QUESTIONABLE Answers

offer their services in assisting regis
trants to properly fill out their ques-
| tionnaires mailed from the lOca. eN-
EN- mption boards of the city and coun-
ty. The spirit which has prompted
these gentlemen Is commendable, ac-
cording to members of the city
board. but a great deal of trouble
has been created by their failure
to comply with the instructions which
are a part of these questionna!i es.
In several cases which came to
the attention of the local city board
yesterday, in which the registrant
had secured the services of attorneys
| in filling out the proper answers Of
questions of the questionable, the in
structions had not been followed and
in each of these cases the registrant
will lose the claim he makes for ex-
emption or 1t will be necessary for
him to reanswer the questions.
These lawyers are not following
the instructions in these cases." de-
clared a member of the local board
yesterday. when a qustionnaire came
to his attention in which several Of
the questions was improperly an
swered and in which no specific
claim was made for exemption altho
grounds for such were set forth by
the registrant.
Should Be Followed To Letter.
These forms are a great deal diff
ferent from a bill of sale or a mort
gage. and should be treated as SUCH"
the board member continued. 'sThe
instructions should be read carefully,
and then should be followed to the
letter 1t Is a great deal of trouble
and causes great loss of time and
efficiency when we are forced 10
remail these blanks to the registrant
in order to secure information which
should be contained when they are
filled out the first time"
The work of the lawyers generally
has been q great assistance to the
registrants, but there are many cases
coming to the attention of the board
members where the lawyers who are
giving their time to the work have
given them or have failed to adhere
to them.
Still Shy On Envelopes.
Members of the local board yes
terday were busiIy engaged in filing
the questionnaires which have been
returned, all Of the board members
and the assistants devoting their
time to this until more envelopes
are received from the adjutant gen.
craPs office. The lack of envelopes
has on three occasions intrrferred
with the work of the board and until
more are received. no more question
naires can be mailed out
One of the largest tasks which con-
fronts the board members is the
classification of the ques.tonnaires
once they are all returned. and this
will not be possible until all have
been sent to the addresses which, in
many cases have been changed since
the last orders were issued, In one
mail received by the board yester-
day there were more than 100 let
ters and postcards, in which regis
trants ask that their QUESTIONABLE be
mailed to new address, and, in many
of these cases the blanks have been
mailed to the old address and must
now be returned to the local board
and redirected. This consumes no
small amount of time and is slow
ing up the work of the board al
most as much as is the lack of en-
velopes.
