CHARGES DRAFT DICE LOADED
TO FAVOR SOUTHERN STATES

Washington, July Charges
+ in the senate that "the draft dice
are loaded and that the census
bureaus figures have been padded
in the North to the benefit of the
South were followed by the adop-
ton of resolution offered by SEN
ator Brandegee of Connecticut, cali
ing upon the secretary of commerce
to furnish the official estimates
upon which the draft quotas of
Various localities have been based.
In the northern states he said,
the proportion of aliens ran as high
as 20 per cent. while in the south
the proportion was about per
cent. AS an instance he told of a
poll taken Of factories in New
Britain, Coma, where $500 were
natives and $500 were aliens. The
quota of draft there would be based
upon 1000 while the number Of men
GRATED would be taken from the
$500 natives.
This is a great inequality he
said. The men Of the country
when they throw their destiny into
the wheel of conscrpition don't want
the dice loaded against them. To
say that tremendous wrong has
been done in the draft law is put
ing it mildly"

GUARD TO RILEY FIRST
TO BE FITTED OUT

1t looks now as if Company i
will be sent with the rest of the
Kansas National Guard shortly af-
ter mobilization to Fort Riley for a
short period. The local officers be-
lieve this will be for the purpose
of securing all clothing, rifles and
ether equipment at one central
place. rather than sending it around
piecemeal to 40 or so different
points. 1t is said that the govern
ment now has ready enough equip
ment of all kinds to outfit the 44O,-
600 member of the National Guard,
but there will not be time enough
to distribute it all around the coun-
try. After week or two al fort
Riley, the Kansas troops will be sent
to Fort Sill, which is located ~
miles from Lawton, Okla. There
they will be given at least three
months intensive training to pre-
pare them for service abroad. The
Kansas soldiers will not have wood
en- environments like the troops at
Fort Riley but will live in tents UNI
der actual field conditions. This
results in better physical hardening
up. and teaches the men how to care
for themselves in any kind OF
weather or under any sort of ad-
verse conditions.

TEN RECRUITS IN SIX DAYS
Company II Has 1O3 Men Now
Rally This Evening

Anthony Shook, Frank Buchanan
1ohn eastman and Joe Callahan
signed up as recruits of Company
II, so that there are now 1903 men
in the Abilene company.
Band concert and drill were car
ried on at the same time last even
ing, so that pleasure seekers had a
double attraction Separate squads,
commanded by a corporal, paraded
about the city. When the band
marched from the park to the cor
ner of Fourth and Broadway, the
squads formed together, half the
company facing north hnd half
west AS the Star Spangled Banner
was played the recruits stood at
salute This is a new form of milf
tary etiquette and has only been
practiced since April Is. ut was
previously customary to stand at
attention and then salute at the
end of the song.
C. E. Rugh mounted box when
the music was finished and made
short preliminary talk and then
introduced Capt. Chas. H. Browne.
This was the first time Capt. Browne
met the Abilene people altho he is
acquainted with a humber individ-
ually He was attired in an evening
dress uniform which is all white
with gold color badges.
He said in part: Il am a news
paper man so can not be expected
to talk. However, no soldier is a
good talker so that l hope will be
a good soldier. l believe that the
Abilene company is as good as you'll
find in Kansas or the United States.
There is only one thing l regret
that we haven't AZ more fine look
ing young men as stand here be-
fore you.
This is no child's war, for it is
the biggest war we have ever had.
When these young men return they
will be the heroes of the county
lust as the soldiers of the Civil war
and of the Revolutionary war. Any
man who has no dependent relatives
and has no other reason for exemp-
ton should join the home company
where he will be with those whom
he knows.
Personally, friends, l would feel
ashamed to go to mobilization
camp without a full company. At
least 80 per cent of the companies
that 90 there will have $50 men
and if we go with only 100 men we
will be looked upon as one who
could not come with a full quota.
Captain Browne had table and
enlistment blanks on the corner ana
in thirty minutes papers for three
men had been filled out. The fourth
man signed up early this morning
1t was a successful meeting in ey-
cry way.
Every evening the recruiting de-
tail will do something-either in
Abilene or some other town. Abe II.
Forney of Company B, First battal-
ion engineers of the Kansas National
Guard. will assist in the recruiting.
This evening a street demonstration
will be given.
