Men With Families
Dependent Upon Them
Must Leave the Guard

Every enlisted man in the National
Guard who has dependents whom he
might not be able 20 support in time
Of war probably will be discharged
from the service during the next few
days. Orders to that effect from the
War Department were received at Gov
errors Island and the adjutant gem
erals office at Albany yesterday.
National Guard officials estimate
that between $500 and $500 of the
1000 enlisted men in the state will
be affected by the order. They say
that no man who has a wife. mother
or children without other means Of
livelihood than his salary will be al
lowed to remain in the Guard, whether
he desires to remain or not.
Company and regimental officers will
begin at once TO weed out such men,
but every case will be carefully inves-
tigated This will be done to prevent
any man obtaining his release through
false representations.
The order from the War Department
says: "The Secretary of War author
ICES the discharge OF all enlisted men
of the National Guard who have fami-
lies dependent upon them. members
who would, while serving in Federal
service. be entitled TO the comforts
provided by the act Of Congress ap-
proved August 20, 1915, whether they
desire to be discharged or not"
Though the act referred to includes
only men who were married and en-
ployed on June 18. 1915. the order is
taken to apply to all members Of the
Guard

months, at prices ranging from ST.

Senate Passes
Old Army Bill

Test of Strength on Volun'

Washington, April Interpretations
for the army amounting TO S27s.-
10000. all of which are made avail
able Immediately instead of at the end
of the fiscal year, June 80, were in
cluded in the appropriation bill passed
by the Senate late to-day. The
Senate also passed the appropriation
bill for West Point and the sundry
civil bill. These are three of the four
supply measures which failed when
Congress adjourned on March 4.
Points Of order prevented the Senate
from testing the relative strength Of
the volunteer and CONSUMPTION plans.
Senator Kirby, Of Arkansas, a pacifst,
which would have authorized the Pres
ident to call for 100000 volunteers,
proposed an amendment to the bill
then half a million more and so on
until a sufficient number had been
raised to make Success in the war as
sured." This amendment was ruled out
on a point of order raised by Senator
Chamberlain, who urged that It's
proper place would be in the army re-
organization bill now being considered
by the House Committee.
Mr.. Kirby then caused long de-
bate by attempting to knock out on a
point of order the appropriation for
the Plattsburg camps.

if we don't know whether they will

war;" he demanded.
Senator Wadsworth defended the men
who had attended the Plattsburg
camps, pointing out that many Of them
had enlisted and gone to the border.
Would the Senator in his private
business spend 100000 in training
men for q special line of work, with
out some assurance that they would
not leave his employ at the very mo-
ment the training had made them
valuable?" asked Mr.. Kirby.
1.-THE United States is not private
employer" broke in Senator Fall, of
New Mexico. "The training of these
men has enriched the United States
and the United States government can
force these very men into its service
Just as IL can draft you II IL so de-
sires, and retain you in the army Tor
life If necessary. Therefore there is
no analogy"
Senator Underwood made the poin'
that the Plattsburg camps might be
excellent things in peace time, giving
men the first rudiments of military
education. He insisted. however, that
now every dollar and every man that
could be spared should be given for
actual preparation for war and for
training only the men who were going
10 fight.
The question was compromised by
the adoption of an amendment offered
by Senator Mcclellan, of Tennessee,
providing that no man should be re-
ceived at the Plattsburg camps who
did not take an oath to join the army
should his services be asked by the
government.

Charles NJ. Schwab in letter to US said THE publ
cation of the Handy Volume Issue Of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica in such convenient form and at such low
price something much important than any purely
commercial undertaking could be. It's bringing the most
important and authoritative work Of its kind in the world
within reach of those ambitious people Of moderate means
who need most the who are raising themselves from
the ranks TO positions Of responsibility.
On this same point We have letter from subscriber,
the Rev. E. E. Harter, who says: Have obtained nfor-
nation from it that already worth to the price OF
the books" And another subscriber wrote: Have had
it three months and already il has proven gold mine Of
information"
We could quote pages Of high praise for the Britannica,
esfyng TO its beauty and its usabenesS in the Handy
Volume" form; esfying to its value as an inexhaustibe
source of knowledge; but what you should do is and
see and examine this work for yourself just what
wonderful help it be to you every day in your work
in your home life as educational help to your children.

is ready to erect a mill at Nyala. and
if the new mill at Lynn proves to
work successfully that type of plant
will be installed.
A letter was received here early
this week from DIR. G. M. Roberts
stating that he and his wife were
storm bound at Medicine Bow. Wy
oming. and would have to wait there
until the weather moderated and
the roads became hard enough to
hold up an auto. The Doctor and
his wife started from Detroit. Michi-
gan. on April 16 to come across the
$500 miles of country by auto. and
were making good progress until
held up by the soft roads in Wyom-
ing. With the good weather that
has prevailed throughout the country
during the past week. it is thought
they are now on their way again and
will soon reach their home in Eureka.
The real warm Summer weather
appears to have finally reached this
section, and its belated warmth is
certainly working wonders on all
plant life. Even at this high altitude
many of our people have a number
of apple and other fruit trees in their
yards that are being nursed along
with the chance that a favorable sea-
son will permit of their producing
and ripening the fruit, which, raised
by their own efforts, affords a pleas
ure and satisfaction that is beyond
all price. Because of the long spell of
cold weather that has kept the bios
SONS and buds back this Spring I'M
til almost mid Summer, all conditions
now seem propitious for an abundant
fruit harvest right here in Eureka.
and likewise in many of the small
orchards on our nearby ranches.

Registered Tuesday

Registration Day, Tuesday, June
5. passed quietly in Eureka, although
general interest was taken and 81
young men between the ages of 81
and 81 years were registered in this
precinct. Returns from all the other
~percincts in the county except Buck
horn have been received by the

cincts.
Following are the registrations in
Eureka County SO far reported by
eight of the nine precincts in the
county: Eureka, 81; Ruby Hill, z;
Garrison Mine. none; Beowawe, 40;
Palisade. SO; Mineral Hill (Union).
%; Alpha, %; Prospect, 9.
At Beowawe. Palisade and Alpha
the number of men applying to regis
ter was more than the number of
cards left in these precincts. but this
matter was overcome by filing out
the registration certificates and CIV
ing each applicant a receipt showing
that he had registered. AS soon as
the necessary cards had been rushed
in to supply the deficiency. they
were filled out and forwa rded to
those entitled to receive them.
According to reports received at
Washington from all parts of the
country, 1000, 900 men registered

All of the present teachers of the
Eureka County High School and of
