NATION WIDE DRIVE
FOR ARMY RECRUITS
Attempt VIII Be Made to Enlist
Seventy Thousand Men for
Regular Service Within
the Week.

Washington, June ga nation
wide drive Of one week to recruit TO-
900 men to bring the regular army up
to its authorized war strength OF &c.,.
COZ men tegan today in accordance
with President Wilson's proclamation
calling for volunteers. =
This is the first step in the war or
ganization OF Americas Army, Next
is the task OF completing the full
strength of the National Guard; then
comes the selection of men for the
new national army from the millions
who registered June 5.
Call OF President.
The president calls upon lunar
ried men between the ages Of 10 and
30 years who have no dependents and
who are not engaged in pursuits vi
tally necessary to the prosecution OF
the war"
This means that those between the
ages OF IS and q and 81 and 40, as
well as the recent registrants,i will be
given an opportunity for immediate
training and the prospect OF early ac-
tive service.
The urgency of filling the ranks OF
the regular army is emphasized by
army officers, who declare it will be
necessary within the next six months
10 take many of the regulars as in-
structors for the new selective army,
1t is planned to incorporate in the new
regiments OF the regular army por-
tions Of the already established and
trained units as framework to AS
sure rapid development.
Draft Will Be by Numbers.
Regulations for drafting the new
national army, now awaiting Presi-
dent Wilson's approval, contain pro-
vision for every step in the great
undertaking except the actual method
OF the daft itself.
No official announcement has been
made and official confirmation is be.
ing withheld, bua it has been stated
that the federal government itself
will do the drafting, probably here in
Washington, so there will be no OPP
portunity for local favoritism, politi-
cal or otherwise.
As the regulations stand now every
registered man bears a number. The
numbers will be forwarded to Wash
ington and the drawing will be en-
tirely by numbers. The identity OF
the numbered men will be unknown
TO those in charge OF the draft ma
chincfy and can be established only
by comparing a number with printed
list of the mans home district.
Question Of Exemption.
The question of exemptions will go
before the local boards. If a man is
exempted the man bearing the num-
Der which was drawn next in order
will take his place and SO on until
the first increment Of 625,000 has been
assembled The Others will be called
as the need develops. 1t is hoped to
have all the men in training by Sep
TENDER ].

Shttery, who heard the preliminary
trial three weeks Iago and bound all
defendants over.
Bonds Not Increased.
Attorney Bronze asked the court to
increase the bonds from $500 to 81 900
each. Attorney Harrington expressed
his opinion that the case would be
disposed at a hearing on the demurrer
against the information filed by the
county attorney.
The formalities of obtaining the
change OF venue did not arouse any
interest comparable to that which
was manifested at the preliminary
hearing when the court room was
packed by a crowd Of eager attend
ants.
Defendants on Way Back.
Omahans who returned on an eve
ming train were: Stephen Maloney,
Harvey Wolf, Charles w. Pipkin,
William S. Dolan Philip Winckler

Howell and H. {. Bronze, attorneys;
Detective Paul Sutton, Mrs. Elsie
Phelps and Bessie Wilson, witnesses,
The Chadron defendants are: AL

The case has attracted statewide
interest for nearly two months and
the ramiheations form peculiar COM
binatior> of Omaha and Chadron al
fairs. incidentally there is woven into
the fabric of the affair factional poll
tics OF both towns.
The alleged attempt to execute the
conspiracy was said to have been
made on the evening OF Nay IA, in the
Office of County Attorney Critics, and
the dual role OF a woman detective,
Mrs. Elsie Phelps, is said to have
been the keystone to the plot.
y Plot Unfolds.
The woman came to Chadron in
the guise of one seeking to estab-
lish her residence here for the pur
pose of obtaining divorce. At first
she was known as Mrs. Ellen Lowery
and it was given out for early local
consumption that she had retained
County Attorney Critics to, represent
her. The facts, as alleged by her at
the preliminary hearing, were that she
gained the confidence Of Mrs. Robert
Hood and Mr., Critics to whom she
had divulged the alleged conspiracy
plot. She also worked hand and glove
with Philip Wincklcr OF the Omaha
Detective association, he having full
confidence that she was playing
square with his association.

They sought rest and comfort-they get un-

dinky hotel room-putting up with foods
they wouldn't look at back home. Leading
