TO EXAMINE MEN
HERE TOMORROW
300 Will be Examined Here
Tomorrow and 200 More
the Next Day.

Tomorrow morning at o'clock the
local draft board will start the ex-
animation of the latest call of men for
the National Army Three hundred
men will report tomorrow, and 200 on
Wednesday, for physical examination.
The call was issued with the inten ton
of filling the gaps left in the ranks
of the certified lists, through exemp-
tions granted by the local and district
boards
The examination tomorrow and
Wednesday will be held in the gym
nasium of the Y. NJ. c. A. and the
usual staff of physicians and clerks
will be present. so that 1t Is expecreo
that the work on the 800 men will be
completed by noon.
Numerous men were home over the
week end here, from Camp Dix.
They are all looking the picture OF
health, and are awaiting orders which
will take them to Camp Mcclellan
where they will be used to fill gaps in
the National Guard units camped
there.
Numerous shifts in men at
Wrightstown have been made, some
of the men going to other companies
at Camp Dix, while others have been
sent to other cantonments, and not a
few have already left, for lover
there"
The local board who, several times
have believed they would be able to
fill their quota with call of 500 men,
do think that the call of 500 men will
yield sufficient eligibles to fill the en-
tire quota to be supplied of 572 men
being added to the number already
eligible and ready for camp.

WILL NOT DRAFT
BATTERY { MEN
That They Will Move in Neal
Future is Hinted by Tren-
ton and Washington.
The latest piece of good news CIV

The latest piece of good news CIV
en- out to members Of Battery E, Sec
ond N. J. Artillery, and to all other
batteries, and companies comprising
the regiment, was divulged on Satur-
day, when official confirmation was re-
ceived here. and at other places where
the units are stationed, that all men
enlisted in the regiment will be ex-
empted from the draft. This is but a
forerunner of the other good news
items which are to come to battery
men before very many days.
Mayor TenBroeck received the tel
egram from the adjutant general for
the local board, and other boards re-
ceived similar notices, to the effect
that all men, officers and enlisted, of
the Second Regiment, and the Third
and Fourth companies OF coast artil-
lery. are to be withheld from the draft
The action precedes recognition of the
units by the federal authorities, with
a subsequent view to muster into the
Federal service.
That the action will reduce the quota
of the various cities in which the
companies have been organized is
shown in the last paragraph OF the
kilograms, where 1t is stated that the
local boards will not furnish men to
take the places of those thus ex-
empted.
The word OF exemption from the
draft is believed by battery officers and
men alike to mean rapid action that
will move them. The promise OF Gov
ernor Edge TO equip the men. within
thirty days Is likewise an indication,
to them that both the state and the
federal authorities are seriously con-
sidering moving the Second Regiment
within a shnrt time
Both the field artillery and the two
companies OF coast artillery were auth
! or-ized and recruited simultaneously
and have been ready for action ever
| since.
. Go to Movies Tonight
The battery will assemble tonight
at 8:45 o'clock, at the Y. M. G. A, and
will march in a body to the Ditmas
theatre, where they will witness the
performance there as the guests OF
John Hanson. ST., an ardent support
er OF the battery. The men will be
under First Sergeant George Walker

Captains of Different Teams
Receive Cards Early Today
to Start the Campaign.
WILL TRY TO RUSH WORK
School Teachers Will Start Out
This Afternoon to Do
Their Bit.

The food conservation campaign was
started on what is hoped to be a vic
torious existence this marning when
pledge cards wl1ES1h are to be distrib-
uted to every home in this city In an
effort to save about one half of the
food which is now being consumed.
Many of the teams started out this
morning on their house to house can
vass in an effort to put the matter be-
fore the heads of the various house
holds as early as possible Every
meal at which small amount of food
Is saved means great deal for the
American and Allied soldiers. Shis
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the school
teachers will start on their cam mpaign
among the residents of the city doing
their share towards keeping down the
amount of food being used and espec-
tally to lessen the delicacies which
some households have been In the
habit OF enjoying.
The time has been reached In this
country when the fortunate must
think Of the unfortunate and those
who have plenty must save some for
their fellow countrymen. who on the
other side of the Atlantic are doing
their share and will be greatly in
need of food before the winter is past.
Signing the pledge cards which arc
being distributed this week by the
food conservation workers does not in
any way cause q fee to be imposed
upon the person signing the card.
The cards are being used simply in
order that the government may get
a line" on those who are willing to
assist in furnishing the necessary
amount of foodstuffs to our boys and
their allies in France. By signing one
of these cards the head of the house,
hold pledges himself to carry out the
directions and advice sent to them
or through the papers by the food
administrator, as much as circum-
stances permit.
It is a well known fact that some
persons are SO situated that they will
find 1t impossible to cut down on
their daily rations, but many who be-
lieve they are now using the necessi-
ties of life only, will learn that there
are many ways in which they can cut
down the amount of food they are
now using.

LONDON. Oct z9.-The Italian sit

viewpoint today.
Engulfed by an overwhelming su-
per1or force of men, Italy's army was
fast being thrown back in a rout. The
whole British press was unanimously
today insisting that the Allies must
grant aid.
Although all circles reiterated their
confidence in General Cadorna's $
strength and his ability later to stem
the tide, nevertheless many newspap-
ers today pointed out that the enemy's
power had been greater miscalculated
by the Allies
General Cadorna's admission of dis
satisfaction in his ranks was more
disquieting than the losses-stagger-
ing, as there has been reported by
Berlin and Vienna.
The Teutons are now claiming
100000 prisoners and 700 guns
If Italy's morale holds up 1t was
regarded as certain that Cadorna would
be able to- make the stand on the
plains.
