President Improves Wonder
fully During Day.
(By Associated Press. ]


CLAY CENTER, KANS., August 10
William II. Taft is much better to-
night. "He improved wonderfully to-
day." according to the statement Of
DR.. B. F. Morgan. the attending ply
sician, given out tonight.
Mr.. Taft asked for food to-day, the
first time since Monday. when he was
stricken with an intestinal disorder.
Not only is his physical condition i'm
proved. but he was cheerful to-day,
and was more laxative than usual.
The principal news. events were read
to him. and he commented briefly.
The former President was asked IL
there was any word he wanted to send
to his relatives.
emo" he replied. IT will be out Of
here soon. and 1 don't want to bother
them"
"That has been his attitude through
out" DR.. Morgan said. "He will do
anything to assist me In administering
hisineeds And above all. he always
is%cheerful as possible under the cir
cumstances." ,... l....s..s.
Dr.. Morgan said 1t probably would
take some time for Mr.. Taft to regain
hla strength after he leaves his bed.

Reclamation ofMen
Is Pon7erene's Plan
Plan Would Saoe Millions for
Flag Who Are Rejected Be-
cause Of Cu,ablc Defects.

WASHINGTON. August 1o.-Morc
than 100000 men may be saved for
the flag by an appropriation OF $780,
100000. asked for to-day by Senator
Pomercne. of Ohio.
The Ohio Senator proposes by 're-
clamation camp commission" the ply
steal rebuilding of:
l. Men drafted and then rejected by
surgeons because Of durable physical
defects.
2. Men who volunteer. but who are
rejected for the same reason.
3. Men who become disabled in the
country's service, but who may be re-.
habilitated.
by DR.. John II. Quayle. Of Cleveland.
o. He has interested many promi-
nent men of the country. 1t Is pro-
posed to form a national organization
to stand back of the plan.
The bill provides that the reclama-
ton camp commission would be ap-
pointed by the President, through the
Secretary Of War. The commission
would decide upon the location of the
reclamation camps, and their equip
ment. the rules. regulations and other
details.
Housing. treatment and reclama-
ton" Of the men Is aimed at. There
are said to be thousands of men who
probably Will be turned down at the
environments because Of impcrfections
which may be remedied.
Tho men who are drafted. and then
refused by the army surgeons. would
of necessity be sent TO the reclama-
ton camps.
Senator Pomerene thinks that 2,oo0.-
900 men out Of the drafted 100000
may be saved through his scheme. He
has estimated that $50 will pay for
tho treatment OF man. and there
fore set his appropriation at sl0o,o O0,-
600. The Secretary Of War and tho
surgeon-general Of the army have ap-
proved the idea, and are giving it their
support.

MARINES WILL FIGHT
TO RETAIN UNIFORMS

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE. August 1o.-The marines of
the expeditionary force will make a
fight to retain their forest green uni
forms against a tentative order which
would place them in regular army
khaki. The marines think they can
arrange necessary supply Of their
distinctive clothing. but army officers
feel 1t would perhaps be better to have
the entire expedition uniformed alike.
The marines hold that to abandon
their distinctive dress would tend to
lower the morale Of the men. which in
turn would rob the expedition of the
spirit OF friendly rivalry now existing
between services. The marines cite the
case Of the Alpine chasseurs. In
France. who won their fight early In
the war to retain their distinctive uni
forms of dark blue against an order
that all French troops should wear
horizon blue.
The marines to-day subscribed to a
fund of $4,000 to buy French war
bonds. the fact evoking great cheers
from their French trainers.

AMERICANS IN ENGLAND
British Instructors Quito Pleased at
Success OF Their
Efforts.
MEN ARE LEARNING QUICKLY
Way In Which Members Of Engineer
Corps Bend Themselves to Dis
cipline, When They Realize 1t Is
All Important, Is Remarkable.
IBy Associated Press. ]

LONDON. August 1O-Through the
courtesy of the War and Foreign Offices
a staff correspondent of the Associated
Press has been permitted to visit the
American troops at their billets in
| England. They were found encamped
| in a valley in which white tents ex-
| tended AS far as the eye could see,
with British officers and squad of nom
commissioned officers intensivcly train
ing them.
These British instructors were busy
making soldiers from men who, until n
few weeks ago never saw an automatic
pistol or gas mask. and they were
quite pleased at the success Of their
efforts, for the Americans. they say,
learn quickly. understand thoroughly,
and do not forget what has been told
them. Moreover. they consider re-
| markable the way in which the Amer
leans Of the engineer corps bend them
selves to discipline when they realize
1t Is all-important in the conduct of
the war.
To-day the Americans are working
with gas masks The instructors break
up companies into squads. and the mem
bers stand In a circle and get lessons
in quick adjustment. a feat which Of
ten means life or death. "It is a ques-
tion OF quick or dead" the instructor
told the Americans. and after that no
time was lost in the operation.
Most OF the men at this encampment
are from the railways of America.
They are made up from the operating
and construction divisions of the rail-
ways. and they are working hard in
order to be ready to construct and
operate roads in France. and to fight
for this privilege IL necessary. Some
of the companies are made up Of men
from roads entering Chicago, and come
Pittsburgh. and some New York. But
the men themselves come from all over
the country. Many OF them already
have been through instruction at camp.

LEGAL AID SOCIETY
APPEALS FOR SUPPORT
Offers Opportunity to CharitnbIy In
clined to Help AInny Worthy
Poor.

Will you help the poor and the op-
pressed who are unable to hire the
services OF an attorney and thus are
deprived of many of the rights which
the well-to-do enjoy? That is the
question which the Legal Aid Society
Of Richmond Is placing before the gem
eral public in it's appeal for a loyal
and generous support
There are many people of mcager
means who are deprived of their rights
and who are subjected to petty abuses
because they are unable to retain the
services of competent attorney. The
more conscientious and self-rcspecting
OF these have permitted abuse because
they refused to ask for charity
Such has been the case Either the
poor have not retained lawyers, or
they nave done so at n great sacrifice
IL they have not retained lawyers. they
have rarely been able to obtain JUS
ttce. II they have retained lawyers at
a great sacrifice. they have become lost
in the meshes of INSCRIPTIONS loan
sharks
IT is to alleviate and remedy this
condition that thu Legal Aid Society
is requesting aid from the people Of
Richmond. This society needs money
for court charges. fees. and the many
incidental expenses entailed in the trial
of cases.
The Legal Aid Society was founded
in June 1915. and. up to this time, has
handled l43 cases. 1t was Incorporated
June IL. 1917. and placed on pcrma-
nent basis. Since the society is purely
philanthropic and dependent on the
Richmond public for it's support. 1t is
now endeavoring to place itself on a
safe and effective basis.
All contributions, OF any size, will be
highly appreciated by the society.
Checks should be mailed to James f.

URGE RELATIVES TO KEEP
IN TOUCH WITH SOLDIERS
Send Them Hometown Papers nnd
Letters, Snys State Council
OF Defense,

Recent action by the Virginia Council
OF Defense urging friends and relatives
to keep in as close touch as possible
with the soldiers after they are called
away from home, sending them home
town" newspapers and other acts Of
kindness, has attracted wide attention.
Throughout the State the response to
this request has been Immediate, and In
hundreds Of communities plans are un-
der way for effective cooperation In
this work.
Another side OF the matter is empha-
sized in 4 communication to the council
from the War Department. 1t relates
to tho creation of a special division
whose work will consist in gathering
and disseminating information about
the welfare Of the soldiers for the bene-
TT OF their families and friends at
home. This new division has been
created by the acknowledgement of the
army, and is division of his office.
While the adjutant-generai's de-
partment has always maintained COM
plete lists OF all officers and enlisted
men In the service. 1t has never been
necessary because of the small size Of
the army, to have a special statistical
division charged with the work of
keeping in close touch with all the
men. so that information as to the
health. safety and welfare of indi-
Viduals might be communicated with
out delay to their relatives. 4 special
section, known as the statistical diyi-
sion. has now been created and as
signed TO this work. made necessary by
the great increase in the size of the
army
Officers for this work will be selected.
as are other officers for the national
army, from men from the various Of
hcers' training camps commissioned in
the national army and assigned to the
adjutant-generars Office
The statistical division will operate
through n main office in Washington
and through the organization abroad
with sections assigned to each unit Of
the army down to each company This
VIII mean that every company OF SOL
diers will be accompanied by one or
more men who are regularly stationed

Washington will keep in touch with all
the camps in the United States. both of
the National Guard and the national
army, and with the regular establish
ment Of the army, in order that II may
