The National Y. M. G. A. of
America is making u drive to
raise $35, ,OOO.O in the United
States to be used for the purp ,se
Of the comfort and social enter
tainment of our soldier boys at
the front in Europe and the train
ing camps in the United States.
The raising of this amount of
money has been divided among
the different states of which
about $3.50. GOO is to be raised in
C.,lOrado, Of this sum $3.50. 90
is allotted to Cheyenne county.
The state committee who have
this in charge have appointed me
chairman for this county and have
asked me to see that Cheyenne
county contributes the $3.50 90
therefor l earnestly ask that
everyone contribute to this wor-
thy cause as literally AS possible.
You may leave your contribu-
tion with Mr.. ]. E Hayes. at the
Cheyenne County State Bank.
Ii my judgment the work
which is being carried on by the
Y. NJ. C. A. is of very great i'm
portance, its mission in this war
is equally as important as that Of
the Red Cross Society. The in
tention of this fund is that it is
to be used to establish quarters

New Draft Regulations Can.
eel all Dischsrges and
Army Exemptions
Crowder Announce. Men Re-
ieved From Service Must Sub
init to New Line Of Question
Before Various State Boards
Try Mt News Nov. 1s, 1917,


Washington, Nov. ls.-New draft
regulations, made public by Provost
Marshal General Crowder today, can
cells all exemptions and discharges
which ha1e been granted by local
boards under the present system. All
registered men who have not been call
ed into the service must submit o. new
record by answering the QUESTIONABLE
which has been prepared and which
now is being sent out to them through
the local boards. The new regulations
do not necessarily mean that men ex-
empted or discharged for cause will
not be exempted or discharged again,
but there are possibilities ofreversing
decisions under the new regulations.
The new selective service regulations
have been sent to the governors, and
will be in the hands of the local district
boards within few days. Certain of
the regulations go into effect Nov. 20,
while others, notably those which
govern the process of selection and
classification, will not go into effect
until Dec. is.
The new regulations repeal all pre-
ceding regulations. This automatically
restores every man to his original
status.
The completion by the registrant of
the new questionable is the first great
stage of the new system, and the diff
ticulties which will attend it are fully
recognized by the provost marshal gen
eral, who has begun the mobilization
of the legal talent of the country to
enable every one who seeks it to re-
ceive aid in its preparation.
Under the new regulations the local
boards will send out per cent of their
questionaire each day for a period
covering twenty days. The method of
distribution will allow the local boards
with the aid of their legal advisory
boards and other volunteers, to in
struct, complete and file each days
QUESTIONABLE without the confusion and
congestion which would attend the Ell
fort to require larger number.
One OF the noteworthy features of
the new regulations is the appointment
of an officer of reserve corps of the
United States army as an assistant to
. the adjutant general of each state.
This office will also he the disburs-
ing officer, and the financial affairs
OF the selective service system will
thus he brought into intimate touch
with the provost marshal generals Of
flee in Washington.
Among his other duties will be that
of keeping all accounts closed in order
that the department at Washington
may have at any time statement of
the Obligations and estimate OF future
expenses for each state.

U. S. CANNOT PAY
FOR MEALS EATEN HERE
Claims Presented by Army Officers
Disallowed by Controller
of Treasury.

The controller OF the Treasury has up
held the action of the auditor for the
War Department in disallowing the
claims of two officers of the Engineer
Corps of the army for meals taken at
the Union station in Washington, on
their way out of this city and returning
here on orders from the department.
The officers were sent from Washington
barracks to a point near Washington
for inspection. Two of them took
breakfast at the Union station early in
the morning and the other dinner late
in the day, upon his return. The items
aggregate $3.50, including tips.
The auditor disallowed the items. be-
cause the meals were taken in the Dis
trict of Columbia, the home station or
the officers, and were not authorized IN
view of the act of April 8, 1914, winch
prohibits reimbursement of travelling
expenses unless the officer IS absent
from his designated post of duty and Is
also outside of the District when the
expense is incurred. The controller
holds that the legislation is specific
and prohibits allowance or reimburse
ment of subsistence to any ofncer IN
any branch of the public service of the
United States in the District OF Column
bia unless absent from his designated
post of duty and outside of the District
of Columbia.

AMERICAN FLAG TO STAY
ON BIGGEST FREIGHTER
Minnesota Is Transferred From Pa
cific to Atlantic Transport
Fleet of Ships.

The Minnesota, biggest freighter in
the world, is to remain under the Amer
lean flag. Word comes from the Pacific
coast, in private advices. that the big
ship, owned and operated by the Great
Northern railway, has been transferred
to the International Merchantile Marine
for it's American line-and will be
operated by that corporation in the
transatlantic service as part of its
Atlantic transport fleet.
Two things have been accomplished
by this transfer of ownership. The ship
remains under American registry. Then,
the big freighter becomes available,
without delay, to assist in handling the
commerce of the United States that Is
so much in need at this time OF short
tonnage.
The Minnesota probably is on her
way now from San Francisco. via the
Panama canal, to her new home port,
New York city. She was in dry dock
at San Francisco for several months,
being overhauled.
1t is known that her owner, the
Great Northern railway, had oners
from many foreign governments Tor
the ship for naval auxiliary purposes.

DISTRICT HEADS URGE
CONGRESS TO PASS BILL
Say Interchange of Teachers as Pro-
posed in Kenyon Measure Would
Be an inexpensive System.

Holding that the Kenyon bill provid-
ing for the interchange of teachers of
the District with other school systems
of the United States is drawn on the
theory that some new blood is needed
in our local public schools" the District
Commissioners today urged Congress to
pass the bill. In a communication to
Senator John Walter Smith, chairman
of the Senate District committee, the
Commissioners set forth that it is i'm
possible to appoint an outside teacher
to the graded schools. and, as things
are organized, a great majority of those
appointed to the high schools are local
people They say that the interchange
of teachers proposed by the bill makes
it possible. without any expense to the
District, for the public school author
tiles to come into contact with other
school systems. The bill. it is stated, is
approved by the board of education
also.
The bill provides that not exceeding
twenty teachers shall be on inter
change service at one time and that
each teacher shall be paid her regular
salary by the school system in which
she is teaching at the time the inter-
change is arranged. and. further, that
the service of~the teachers of the Dis
trict public schools shall count as regu-
lar service in the District

SAYS BOHEMIANS WERE
FORCED TO GO TO WAR
Countryman Here Asserts Czechs
Are Fighting Unwillingly With
Armies of Central Powers.

Statements printed in The Star Mon
day marked correspondence of the
Associated Press regarding internal
conditions in the Austro-Hungarian
empire. and particularly those touching
on the Czech problem, are utterly
false, said a prominent Bohemian this
morning He directed attention to the
statement that Bohemian regiments had
done valiant service in the field against
Italian and Rumanian forces, and said
that the Bohemians are utterly with
out prejudice in the war and were
forced to serve by the Austrians. Be-
cause of, the fact that whole regiments
of Bohemians had laid down their arms
In the early part of the war, the Czech
regiments are now placed between di-
visions of Germans or Magyars. in or
der that they may be made to fight.
Yesterdays statement said "on the
occasion of the late emperor's death the
condolences from Bohemia were prob
ably the warmest received.
Regarding this he said that the Aus
trian flag was displayed prominently
In all Bohemian villages and towns and
that all who did not pay sufficient re-
spect to 1t were beaten and imprisoned,
women not being excepted. On ac-
count of the fact that the Bohemans
were actively against serving under
the Austrian colors in the war, many
of their leaders were executed, more
than 1,1e0 known deaths resulting be-
cause of this.
He claimed that the Legion d'Etran-
Eere (Foreign Legion), a part of the
French army, numbers among Its
troops many Czechs and that a whole
army division of Czechs is part of
the Russian forces. The sudden ap-
pcarance of a Serbian army in the
Dobrudja region was made possible by
the enlistment in the Serbian forces of
q Czech division. He said that the
whole striving of the Bohemian people
was toward national entity and in
dependence, ass in the peace terms Of
the allied nations, Bohemia is mem
tened as being freed from the vas
salage of Austria.

SUIT TO BE TRIED AGAIN.
Verdict for Defendant Had Been
Ordered in Action for Damages.

Justice' Gould of the District Su-
preme Court has granted a new trial
of the case of Anthony Messineo. ad-
ministrator of Angelo Montamorano,
against the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. The deceased had
been employed on the work train of
the company. and. coming into contact
with charged trolley wire, was killed,
it was alleged.
AT the trial the court held that as
between master and servant the mere
fact that the man was killed did not
prove negligence and directed a verdict
for the railroad company
Arguments for a new trial were based
largely on the proposition of whether
or not the company had furnished a
safe place for it's employee to work
On this ground the court considered
that new trial should be given
