SCORES R00SEVELT'S
ARMY PROPOSALS
Carl Erouman LikenS Them to Chill
dren's CrIisade-Urges Women to
Conserve Food.

Chicago, May 9.-In an address
before the Association of Commerce
today Carl Vrooman, Assistant Sec
Rotary of the Department of Agricul-
ture, sharply criticized Col. Roose-
velt's plan to raise an army division
for service in Europe.
1T would be simple slaughter to
take these men. under a leader I'M
skilled in modern conditions of war
fare, to France at this time" said
Mr.. Vrooman. 1t would be like the
children's crusade of the middle
ages"
The speaker did not make direct
use of Colonel Roosevelt's name, but
the inference was plain.
The waster. the idler, the Stacker
and the food Spectator were de-
nounced by Mr.. Vrooman. speaking
here before the Home Preparedness
League.
I'VE must eliminate a $700,000,-
600 waste in the Kitchens" he told
the women of the Preparedness Lea
que. He made these suggestions:
Don't eat old potatoes; We need
them for seed"
Use whole wheat bread"
The man who lives only for him
self will. soon BE- liyino alone.

In Memoniam

In sad, but loving, remembrance
of our dear husband and father. Geo.
W. Brannock, who departed this life
one year ago. May 10, 1916.
Our father is sleeping. so free from
all pain,
Oh, wake him not, sweet spirit, to
suffer again:
He slumbers so soundly, oh, let
him sleep on,
His sickness is ended, his trouble
all gone.
Oh, think how he suffered and
moaned with pain,
The long night hours, as we soothed
him in vain,
Till God, in His mercy, sent down
from above
An angel, that whispered a message
of love.
BY his Wife and
Two Daughters.

part and upon all who have interest
ed themselves in its welfare.

HOPE FOR AVIATION
SITE AT Fl. DODGE.
Senator Kenyon Is Working for It
and Captain Warning Writes
Encouragingly.

Fort Dodge Aug. 14-Fort Dodges
chances for securing the United
States aviation camp are good, ac-
cording to c. T. Waring, captain in
the construction division of the sig
nal corps, in a letter to R. o. Green.
The necessary twenty-five specifi-
cations have been complied with by
the Commercial club, and if found
suitable for an, aviation training
camp by the aviation board, COM
mittee will be sent to. Fort Dodge to
inspect the proposed sites.
Senator w. S. Kenyon has been
working in the interest of FIT. Dodge
at Washington and has personally
presented to the department reasons
why Fort Dodge would make a good
location for any aviation training
camp that is to be located in this
district.
The letter Captain Warning wrote
to the Commercial club, and which
gives the club great encouragement
in continuing the campaign to To-
cate the aviation camp northeast Of
this city, follows:
"Your favor of august s, together
with maps under separate. cover,
have been received.
THE specifications seem to be
complete in every detail and if the
land is found to be suitable for an
aviation training camp it will be
weighed carefully by the board in
making the decision as to the loca-
lions of schools. Should their de-
cision be to locate a school in your
part of the country, an inspection
will be made at an early date.
Senator Kenyon has personally
presented copies of your correspond
ence and has been assured that this
matter will receive serious consider
alton.

Fist Visit in Thirty Years.

Jay c. Edwards, principal of the
Beidler public schools, Chicago, who
has been visiting in the city the
past week with Rev. j. M. Herbst,
was a welcome caller at the
Freeman-Tribune office today. Mr..
Edwards is accompanied by his son
and they made the trip from Chicago
in an automobile. He says Iowa's
dirt roads are the best he has trav-
eled upon, The roads in Illinois
have been concreted, macadamized
or paved, and in many places have
gone to pieces, the result being
very bad thoroughfares. 1t has been
thirty years since Mr.. Edwards Wis
tied this section of Iowa and he is
greatly impressed at the improve
ments made here in that time.
Northern Iowa is far ahead of south
ern Iowa, in his judgment. The
towns are better and the farms are
better improved and taken better
care of. This part of the country
reminds him of the best sections of
Illinois, and he thinks Iowa has a
great future. He expects to leave
for his home tomorrow.

3 QUOTAS OF
army TO CAMPS
IN SEPTEMBER
First 80 Per Cent Ordered to Entrain
September 5, Second on 18th,
Third on the 30th.
DISTRIBUTES THE HEAVY TASK
Division of Dates Expected to Pre-
vent Shortages of Camp
Supplies.
DISTRIBUTES THE HEAVY TASK

Washington, D. c., Aug. 14.-The
entire $4,000 men composing the
first increment of the army draft
forces will be under training early
in October. Under orders issued yes
terday the first 80 per cent of the
quota of each district will begin en-
trainment for cantonment Sept. 5,
the next 80 per cent Sept. Is, and
another 80 per cent Sept. 80.
The remaining 10 per cent will
be modified as soon after that date
as possible.
The plan to assemble the new
forces in, three increments distrib-
utes the task of furnishing supplies
and equipment through September.
1t will also prevent serious short
ages in any camp and will give the
new officers from the training camps
time to familiarize themselves with
their new duties gradually before
responsibility for a great body OF
men falls on them.
The order issued yesterday means
that about $4,000 men will reach
each of the sixteen environments
soon after Sept. 1. They will be eX-
amined physically by army doctors
and finally accepted or rejected.
Presumably the first increment
will have been organized into skele-
ton companies, battalions or regi.
ments before the second arrives. The
newcomers can be quickly absorbed
in that case, and the third lot can
be taken into the war machinery
with even less disturbance when it
reports fifteen days later.
In farming communities local
boards now will arrange the lists Of
those to fill the first Increment
with local crop conditions in mind.
Drafted men engaged in that work
and who otherwise would go with
the third of the district quota will
be passed over to the second or third
as may be necessary.
Reviewing the question of dis
charge for dependent relatives. Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder is
sued supplemental ruling yester-
day holding that persons should not
be discharged because of dependents
resident abroad
1.-THE object of the Jaw permitting
persons to be discharged provided
they have persons falling within any
of the classes of dependents, depen-
dent upon them, was to prevent such
dependents becoming a charge upon
the American people," the ruling
says.
"A dependent residing abroad
could not become such charge.
