N. Y. Board Passes
On 5 Per Cent of
National Army
Local District Body Per-
forms Important Function
in Draft Machinery

Many OF the men who are going TO
Camp Upton to-day scarcely realize
that the District Board exists. All of
the selected men will long remember
the members Of the local boards as the
men who got them into the army and
the officers at the cantonment as the
persons who took care OF them after
they went under orders. But the Dis
trict Board means little to them. Those
who waived exemption claims have had
no personal contact with the District
Board, yet without its work not
single citizen soldier would be ready to
leave for Yaphank to-day.
Working seven days week and
every night. the clerks OF the District
Board have certified the first five per
cent for every local board in the city.
Beginning to-day, it was said at the
headquarters Of the board, In the Fed
eral Building, the District Board will
certify back to the local boards enough
men TO fill the second detachment,
which is scheduled TO leave for Camp
Upton on September TO- The board. II
was learned, Is prepared to certify the
number Of men required at each MOB
ilization date set by the government Of
ficials.
The board has already passed on
enough cases TO FIJI the allotment for
September 10, and all that remains is
the routine task of sending out lists of
names TO the local boards in the order
in which men arc 70 serve. In fact, the
board is ready, il was said yesterday,
10 hand down 20 the local boards the
names OF 10000 men besides those who
leave to-day eligible to serve in the
National Army. Thus II appears that
the District Board will have 70 act or
the cases OF only about $4,000 TO fill the
entire quota of the city for the first
draft.
And what remains is largely matter
Of bookkeeping only. Of the l6,OO0
mon large proportion will not file ap-
meals. And after ten days have elapsed
since he was certified by the local board
a man who does not seek an appeal
automatically becomes ready to be GER
tifod back by the District Board.
The District Board will only certify
back enough men TO I'll the city's full
quota. with safe reserve list, despite
the fact that many Of the local boards
have examined and passed number OF
men considerably in excess CT their
local quotas.
Justice Hughes's board, il was
learned, has already considered 5000
cases Of appeals or original .appllca-
tions for discharge. Fewer than one
ont Of fire men were discharged after
tho local boards had selected them for
service. In this city the District Board
handles one-twentieth OF all the men
who arc called to service under the
Consumption law the country over.
To keep the wheels moving at the
District Board three hundred clerks
are employed, and, according TO Judge
Gsrvin, secretary Of the board, the
pressure of business is so great that
one man has 70 do the work Of three.
Even yesterday the clerks worked over
the records, and members of the board
themselves appeared at the headQuar-
ters yesterday afternoon to prepare re-
ports on appeals to bring before the

Women Succeed
AS Soldier Cooks
Icors.rond,nc. Of III. As,oclatea PresI

HEADQUARTERS OF WGMENS
AUXILIARY CORPS, BEHIND BRIT
ISH LINES IN FRANCE, Aug. 20
One Of the revolutions which the war
has wrought in the British army has
been the admission Of women cooks
10 the camp kitchens everywhere, e1-
cent in the fighting lines.
A great trouble Of the Kitchener
armies in the early days Of the war
was the incfTiciency Of the cooking ar
rangemonts. Under the old regula
tons cooks had to be drawn from each
unit. but owing 20 the ineXperiencc OF
most Of thc citizen soldiers IN TINS
art the food in most units, although
plentiful and good, was badly cooked
end badly served, and the kitchens IRE
quently dirty and slovenly. In conse-
uucnce. at a time when young soldiers
especially needed appctizing food to
strengthen them in their unwonted
labors. many suffered severely from
the monotonous and indigestibl" meals
nut before them. Moreover, there was
great deal Of waste.
The 1rst women cooks in the British
army were employed in August, 1913,
at a convalescent camp, and six months
later the formal recruiting OF women
for this work was initiated. To-day
there are more than 5000 cooks and
mattresses in 200 camps in England
alone. Women have also taken over
the kitchen service in all the Canadian
and Australian hospitals, and women
instructors are being employed in the
regular army schools Of cookery. One
woman who enrolled as a cook two
years ago. and who is now only TWEEN
ty-two years old, has risen to the rank
Of superintendent and is responsible
for the whole service in camp OF
$4,000 men.
The economy resulting from the en-
ployment of women cooks hes been
very marked. In one large officers
camp the daily messing charge was
reduced within a few weeks from s.
cents a day 10 81 cents and in add
ton n fund of $500 was saved for mis-
cellaneous camp purposes. The rate
at this camp is now reduced TO is
cents day.

The taxis had taken the men from
the camp into town for % cents each,
the regular price, and Captain Wake
field compelled the drivers to make
the return trips to camp under threat
of imprisonment

things accordingly.
Captain Wakefield and Police Chief
Ferguson, it is said will ask the Cal
houn county authorities to fix prices
for common articles of trade.
The sudden increase in taxicab rates
threatened serious trouble for while.
Eight thousand men had ridden into
town at the 25-cent rate. Their leave
Of absence expired at 10 o'clock. and
most of them waited till the last min
ute before calling on the taxis. Then
il was too late to walk.
The next body of soldiers to visit the
town probably will number $4,000. The
taxi drivers declare they will quit
work after bringing the men TO town,
