Ing the men at Camp Sinclair, the
same arrangements with the Y. NJ.
.C. A. which were in operation when
the ambulance and engineer compan-
les were there will be sought. IL Is
unlikely that any restaurant or hotel
keeper rould want To contract TO feed
or she er the men. They will be
forced TO report daily To the board
and this feature would be made much
easier for the board members if the
drafted men were concentrated at
Camp Sinclair.
AS n result of the large number Of
exemption claims presented by men
drafted In the first call, the local
board yesterday issued a call for the
second class of 442 men in order that
Tulsa may provide its quota OF 279
men for the draft army orders that
the men to whom the call is issued
shall present themselves at the of
flee of the local exemption board for
physical examinations on the first
three days of next week. The first
150 names on the list are of those
drafted men who will be ordered to
appear for examination >on Monday.
The next $50 names are of persons
who are to appear for examination

He announced yesterday that IL

would concentrate all of the men COM
posing Tulsa's draft quota in barracks
at Camp Sinclair. and secure the ser

them.
Immediate Training Favored.
There Is no need OF these mon re-

could be learning things that they
must learn whom they arrive at can
tonments. | am In favor OF keeping
them at Camp Sinclair, where they
will have taste OF army life and
where they will prepare themselves
for the work which is before them"
The mayor suggested that he would
attempt TO provide kitchens at the
camp by which the men might be fed
and that IN this way n regular army
aspect might he injected into the lives
OF the men while they are awaiting
entrainmcnt orders
The government has instructed Joe

animation on the following day. The
call issued yesterday calls 442 men
under the same rules and regulations
which governed the first drafted men
to appear.
This will make 1000 men who will
have been examined in order that the
quota, and an additional 10 per cent
might be procured. or a little better
than one soldier from every three
drafted.
The first man TO be drafted under
the second call to fill Tulsa's quota
is Roy b. Pugh, whose serial number
Is 559 on the first cali all persons
holding serial numbers drafted up 10
and including 55S We're examined and
from this II is estimated that the city
will secure approximately POS soldiers.
This will leave about one hundred
more men needed, as the ten per cent
additional would make Tulsa's first
quota 307 This includes the margin
from which the medical examiners
at the cantonments will draw those
they discharge and exempt.
The first $50 men on the call will
present themselves on Monday. the
negroes being placed at the foot of the
list in each class, to be examined In
the late afternoon.

GOVERNMENT TO GUARD
MORALS OF SOLDIERS

Washington-Deci steps for
the hygienic and mental welfare OF
the nations soldiers and sailors have
been determined upon by the council
of national defense as strict war
measure. The council, guided by the
general medical board, has prepared
to strike at the presence of insidious
diseases and at alcoholism in all
military commands.
Decisions were announced today as
/. follows:
First, that under military contol
an effective zone shall be created
about all military commands as this
most practicable and effective meas
ure to prevent insidious diseases.
Second, that these military zones
shall serve also as means of contro
OF alcoholic beverages to the troops
These decisions are reached by the
council of national defence after eX
haustive study Of conditions today.
Zones about military commands
will therefore be created and con
ditions in these zones will be guard
ed by military measures so as to pre-
vent the spread of disease. The two
military arms of the government OF
ficially recognize that confluence !.
compatiable with health.
1.-THE council also recommends, al
a further solution of the problem
that all military commands be pro
vided with good facilities for thu
recreation of the troops. 1t urge
that all suitable athletics be encour
aged.
"Tne use Of alcoholic beverages oI
the part of soldiers and sailors il
military commands has long beel
under military control. But the ere
alton now of these military zone
will in effect extend such control owe
the troops when they are OF duty o
out of the commands"

Practice of Fraternizin0 With
German Troops Condemned

Petrograd.-Gen. Gurko, command
er of the western front, has issued
an order declaring that the frater-
MIXING of Russians with enemy troops
must be stopped. He declared that
such fraternizing, which has becom
common practice enables the ene-
my to learn Russian military dispo-
sitions and also by causing a lull on
the Russian front leaves the Ger,
mans free to concentrate forces
against the British and French.
Gen. Gurko warns the troops thai
If the fighting comes to a standstil'
in France the Germans will throw
all their forces against the Russians,
who, lulled by promises of peace,
will not be in readiness to repel the
attack. He says that three disisions
of Germans have already been trans
fered from the Russian front, and
that others are following, including
artillery and aircraft.

IN GREAT BATTLE FOR
TOWN OF BULLECOURT
British Astride Main German Line

London.-The British have pushed
their way well within the town of
Bullecourt. Hand-to hand fighting
has developed here. Renewed fight
ing broke out about Bullecourt yes
terday. The British, who had been
holding positions south and east of
the village, where they had been
violently attacked during the last
four days, have moved forward in
general attack upon the village itself.
There has been patrol fighting in
Bullecourt before this, but Mondays
attack was of an enveloping nature
It met with stubborn resistance, but
steady progress was being made as
this dispatch was written, and khaki
clad troops have passed well within
the town, which lies absolutely as
tride the Hindenburg line, the front
trench and two systems Of support
trenches all being within the village
limits. Prisoners began coming
back soon after the battle started.
English battalions made an attack
from the south and west of Bulle-
court. The attack was proceeded by
the usual violent bombardment. The
moon had shone with wonderful
brightness all through the night and
was just setting as the" infantry
climbed out of their shallow trench
es and trudged forward, laden down
with hand grenades. In the earlier
stages, the battle was bombing con-
test between the attacking forces,
and the defenders, although it was
later reported that hand-to hand
fighting had developed.
