Statements TO the effect that those Who

service or duty outside the state of
Illinois are today denied bv Frank
Haynes, captain of the unit which is

training corps can be sworn into fed
eral service rs was the militia.
1T is true that men canno, escape
the draft by enlisting in the home
guard" he said IF registered men
enlist they must respond if called by
the exemption board. That very fact
should make ii evident that members
OF the home guard cannot be called for
service overseas, If this organization
were no different than state militia

men would 10 longer be subject 10

A total of 10000 American workmen
are killed. 100000 injured and $780,

gineer OF The American Abrasive Metal
company, New York. who lcctured last
evening at the Moline Commercial
club before several hundred toTemen
and shop heads of the various manu-
featuring institutions of Moline and

The surprising statement was made
by Mr. Mowry that slipping and tip
ping is the commuuest cause OF cas-
ualty and that in four years IN Ne"
. York city CPS people had been killed
through this means. constituting
greater number than deaths from fire
