OCTOBER Will
SEE The ENTIRE
ARMY TRAINING
First 80 Per Cent of Quota
Will Entrain on
Sept. 5
NEXT QUOTA WILL
GO ON SEPT. Is
Third Installment Will
Leave for Cantonments
Sept. 80
(By Associated Press.l

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE entire
$4,000 men composing the first IN
crement of the army draft forces will
be under training early in October.
Under orders issued yesterday the
first 30 per cent of the quota OF each
district will begin entrainment for
cantonments Sept. 8. the next 80 per
cent, Sept. Is and another 80 per cent
Sept. 30. The remainder will be
modified as soon thereafter as pos
sible.
The plan to assemble the new for
ces in three increments distributes
the task of furnishing supplies and
equipment through September. 1t al
so will prevent serious shortages in
any camp and will give the new Off
GERS from the training camps time to
familiarize themselves with their du-
ties.
The plan to assemble the new for
ces in three increments distributes
the task of furnishing supplies and
equipment through September. 1t
also will prevent serious shortages in
any camp and will give the new Of
ficers from the training camps time
to familiarize themselves with their
duties.
The order means that about 10000
men will reach each of the sixteen
cantonments soon after Sept. 5. They
first will be examined physically by
army doctors and finally accepted or
rejected. This will take some time
and the men will have to be furnish
ed with Temporary quarters and ra-
tions while awaiting examination.
Presumably the first increment will
have been organized in skeleton COM
panies, battalions, or regiments be-
fore the second arrives. The new
corners can be quickly absorbed by
going concern in that case and the
third lot can be taken into the war
machinery with even less disturbance
when it reports.
In farming communities local
boards now will arrange the lists OF
those to fill the first increment with
local crop conditions in mind. Draft
ed men engaged in harvesting work
and who otherwise would go with the
first third Of the district quota will
be passed over to the second or third
as may be necessary.

THIS WEEK WILL
end HARVEST
Wheat in Clay County Will
Be in Shock by Satur-
day-More Stacking

Harvest in Clay county is nearly
over and practically all of the wheat
will be in shock this week.
In Becker and other counties to
the east the same conditions as to
early harvest prevails. Flax and
grain sown on spring blowing is still
to be cut but wheat, oats and barley
cutting is about done.
In eastern Clay most of the farm
ers are stacking their grain and more
OF them will do so this year than
usual. Next week threshing ma
chimes will be in operation all
through this section, many of them
having been started up last week.
Threshing in the timber country is
done on the community plan with
very little outside help. Except the
engineer, separator man and two or
three. other regulars the crew is
made up of the farmers of the neigh
borhood where the machine is work.

HUT" IN LONDON FOR
AMERICAN SOLDIERS

London, acknowledgements
ence from the Y. M. G. A. War Coun-
ciD.-In anticipation Of the arrival
in Europe of American soldiers, the
Young Mems Christian association
at a cost of $4,000 has taken over
and rushed to completion a large
hut, which was being built for
British troops at Aldwych on the
Strand. opposite Somerset House in
London. r.r ...
This ''hut" or association building
as it would be called by Americans,
will provide lodgings and meals and
serve as a recreation center for en-
listed men of the United States
army and navy who are passing
through or are on leave in London.
Plans are also on foot for the
provision of club accommodations
for American officers.
The Aldwych hut which will
provide sleeping accommodations
for more than $50 men will be fully
equipped with billiard and game
rooms, cafe. writing and reading
rooms, and a real American soda
fountain" This latter feature will
be particularly appreciated by our
troops who would otherwise seek al
most in vain for that most delicious
of American connections, the ice
cream soda.
