COLONEL ROOSEVELT
 ON KANSAS CITY STAR
Joins Staff of the Newspaper Oct. 1 and Will Contribute
 His Copy by Wire

TheodoreRoosevelt will join the stafl of the Kansas City Star on Oct. l., He will contribute by telegraph his com ments on current news events.
 Beyond admitting that he had for mally engaged to enter the newspa- per business Colonel Roosevelt de- clines to make any statement, prefer ring that the publishers of the Star will make any announcements they deem fitting.
 The Star publishes this:
 "Oct. 1, Theodore Roosevelt will be- come member of the staff of the Star Thereafter he will contribute regular. ly by wire his comment on current events.
 The Star has long felt that daily newspaper would give him the best possible medium for the expression of opinion on matters on which his views are of prime importance. In this be- lief Colonel Roosevelt has now come to acquiesce.
 Several courses were open to him, including that offered by an urgent in vitotion to write for syndicate of newspapers. But he held that the strategic place of Kansas City, in the very heart of the country, and the sharing of common ideals by himself and the Star made this newspaper the appropriate medium with which to ally himself.
 "The star would be guilty of false modesty if it did not frankly confess it's happiness in the acquisition of Col onel Roosevelt to it's organization in the capacity of a regular contributor. The honor of such an acquisition is one of which any newspaper in Amer. ! ica or Europe might well feel proud. " American Press.

the apes, differences which defy any theory of evolution to explain. Among these differences are those in the form of the skulls, the shape of the most ancient skulls that have been found being substantially the same as the shape of the skulls of to-day.
 Prof. Curtis pleads that sound sci ence and sound education be based upon actual facts and such theories as grow out of them, rather than upon mere speculation.

DISTINGUISHED AVIATOR IS KILLED
 IN ACCIDENT

PARIS, Correspondence of the As sociated Press)-Captain Roeckel, one of the oldest in service and one of the most remarkable of French mil itary aviators, has just been killed in "a flying accident at Villacoublay, af- ter risking death a thousand times over the enemy's lines.
 Captain Roeckel was the creator of the French system of regulating artil- lery fire from airplanes. Among his exploits was the destruction of half of the artillery of the Sixteenth Ger man army corps in the vicinity of Triaucourt, September s, 1914. This achievement provoked general note by Marshal Joffre regarding the use of "airplanes of combat"
 Two days after his success near Tri- aucourt, Captain Roeckel, flying at a height of 300 yards, discovered the position of a division of Bavarian in- fantry in the region of Vaux Marie, signalled it to the artillery, then got back to camp with his machine rid died with bullets and shell fragments. When the French infantry advanced and occupied the position, they found 4,S00 dead Bavarians on the field, all victims of the French 3-inch field guns.
 Captain Roekel had won the cross of the legion of honor and the war cross with six palms for as many cita. tions in the orders of the army

WOMEll WHO REGISTER FOR SERVICE NOT TO
 BE DRAFTE D

The woman's committee of the Council of National Defense authoriz es the following:
 There is some misunderstanding about the registration for service which is being taken in different parts of the United States by the various di- visions of the woman's com mittee It is we'll to make clear the following facts:
 l. The registration is purely volun- tary-there is no compulsion about 1t. ?. The purpose is to secure an of ficial record of the woman-power Of the country so that in case of emer- gency the Government may know where to turn for any needed service.
 3. Even though a woman offers her service when she registers, she will not be required to give that service if her circumstances have changed then she is asked to serve and she is then unable to fill her promise.
 i. The registration is not designed to take women from their homes at any time unless they are able and will ing to serve away from home.
 Registrars Instructed
 The womans committee has re- quested the State divisions to have the registrars thoroughly instructed in regard to the work, and suggests to the State chairman that registration taken at the polls on registration day formally proclaimed by the Gov ernor of the State or announced by the State Council of defense has been found most satisfactory.
 The misunderstanding concerning the registration, where in districts of foreign population, where the women think they are to be drafted for work outside their homes, whether they want to work or not. The woman'S committee lays stress upon the state ment that both the registration and the service are voluntary. but it urges that every woman over 16 years of age register in order to complete a census of the woman-power of the country, which may be inestimable.

NO APES IN THE
 ANCESTRY OF MAN

Dr. Mattoon M. Curtis, Professor of Philosophy in Western Reserve Uni versity, protests in letter to Science against the assertion, still common in current scientific literature, that man is descendant of the anthropoid apes He quotes Prof. Duckworth, the lead ing authority in this field, who wrote in his "Morphology and Anthropology"
 We must conclude that the exist ing anthropoid apes, constituted as they now are, did not figure in the an cestral history of man."

THOUSANDS WHO RUSHED TO

PROVOST MARSHAL GEN. CROWD.
Err REFUSES HELP FOR OWN
MEN IN EXEMPTION.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington. July 25.-The draft has
passed from the hands of the govern.
ment into control Of the states. The
final word to each state Is:
Allow few exemptions; be strict.
and investigate each case carefully"
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
father of the draft. set this example
himself, at the same time blasting the
hopes of thousands of federal EN-.
ployes who believed their names on
government payrolls exempt them.
Gen. Crowder refused exemption
claims for six of his civilian EN-
ployes-men who had aided him in
preparing for the draft and who them
selves were drafted for the first call.
He refused to make affidavits that the
men were vitality necessary to the con-
law One of the men was his personal
stenographer. AS a result the men, II
physically fit, will have to serve.
The master lists were mailed Tues
day. They had been checked and re-
checked and verified many times and
finally printed by the government
printing office.
The lists are to be sent to each OF
the 1867 local boards. There are elev-
ell sheets to each list-one sheet for
each 1000 numbers drawn and the
eleventh sheet for the remaining 500
numbers.
In order that each district board
may be assured Of getting list in
the mails, two copies are being mailed
to each-one in one mail and one in
another.
These lists will be posted immedi-
ately upon receipt in the office of each
local board. The men drafted for the
first call are thereupon called to pre-
sent themselves for examination as
the board may designate.
To make 1t easier for the men the
board will notify them by mail on
what day to appear for physical ex-
animation. But In the final analysis
1t is incumbent upon the man himself
to appear before, the board should he
fail to receive notice.

Entomology, that branch Of zoology
