Ed. ]. Lenzen Of Sleepy Eye was re-
ported as having failed to appear for.
physical examination. This proved to
have been mistake. He was examined
by DR.. J. 7. Schoch and rejected. He
was then sent to DR.. O. G. Strickler
for second examination, and again
rejected. He put the papers in his
pocket and left for home, supposing
that they belonged to him, when they
should have been returned to the ex-
emption board. In absence Of any
records Chairman julius of
the board, supposed that he had failed
to appear, and thus made his report.
The papers have come to light, and Mr..
=Lenzen will escape punishment.
Another Delay.
Sheriff Julius yesterday received no.
tice from the War Department that
there would be no drsf ed men sent
from this county on Oct. 8, as had been
intended. The adjutant general says
that additional quarters will not be
ready for the men by that time, and it
will be at least week or ten days later
than that date before the next contin-
gent will be sent to Camp Dodge. 4

ORGANIZE SECOND
FOREST REGIMENT
MORE LUMBER-JAcKS WILL BE
SENT TO FRANCE FOR WOOD
WORKING.
WAR DEPARTMENT. HAS ALREADY
AUTHORIZED FORMATION OF
CONTINGENT.

ne WAL DGpdI GllIcllG 1ldo 1OCuOllAcO
the organization of a second Forest
regiment, comprising ten battalions,
to be composed of lumbermen and wood
workers. These men will 60 to France
to get out materials for the use Of the
American and other armies. Their
work will be entirely in the forests of
France. Two battalions will be raised
at once, and the other eight will be
called for in short time. The raising
of these unique soldiers is to be accom-
plished with the aid of the Forest service
of the Department of Agriculture.
Battalions of Laborers.
Nine battalions of laborers will also
be enlisted. These men will be used in
connection with the Forest regiment,
and will be raised at once.
In order to provide for future con-
tingencies it has been decided to COM
mission at the present time enough
officers for other battalions yet to be
raised. Those men not needed now
will be placed on the reserve, and will be
called as the other units are formed.
According to the present plan, fifty per
cent of the officers will be saWmill and
logging operators, twenty-five per cent
will be technical foresters, and twenty
five per cent will be men with military
training. A number of the graduates
of the engineer camps have been selected
for service with the new units.
A considerable number of captains and
lieutenants are to be selected in the i'm
mediate future. The minimum age
limit for commissioned officers has been
set at 81.
Woodsnaen Training.
A first regiment of woodsmen number
ing about 1000 men and designated as
the Tenth Engineers Forest) has al
ready been recruited and assembled and
is now being trained at American Uni
versity, D. C. This regiment was raised
to undertake the production in France
of crossties, bridge, trench, and con-
struction timbers, mine props, lumber,
and other forms of wood required in
connection with its military operations.
The landing of the American expedi-
tionary forces has made necessary similar
provision for their needs, while the
French military authorities have indi-
Gated that some of the work Incidental
to their operations might be taken over
by woodsmen from this country. De-
cision to raise the new and much larger
force has followed study of the field
of possible usefulness to the Allied cause,
made by American foresters attached to
General Pershing's staff.
Two Majors in Command.
Each Of the ten battalions of the second
regiment will comprise three companies
of ESQ men each, and will be under the
command of its own major.
The regiment will be made up of
volunteers. Applicants must be white
and between the ages of 10 and 40.
Skilled lumberjacks, portable mill opera
tors, the cutters, logging teamsters,
camp cooks, millwrights, and charcoal
burners are among the classes of men de-
sired.
For the Service" battalions both
negro and white laborers will be enlisted.

Berlin, May 13. via London, May IA,
la a. m.-While the batting of the
imperial chancellor is going on. the
event Of the past forty eight hours
would seem to indicate that DR.. Won

chancellor returned from a hurried
visit to great headquarters Saturday
morning and left the same night for
Vienna, after having spent the day
in comforting with the reichstag party
leaders with respect to the interpelr
lations on Germany's war aims.
Both his visit to great hea dquarters
and his trip to the Austrian capital
were made in connection with the
chancellor's declaration covering the
war aims, which he will submit to the
reischStag TufSday.
1t is contended that the chancellor
holds enough strong cards in the pres
ent military situation. the success of
the U-boats. the record sixth war loan
and the Improvement in the food sit
uation. to beat off his opponents.

UPERINTENDENT OF THE
ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE
Colonel John NJ. Carson Has Been Sc
Iected by Secretary Baker.

New York, May 13.-The designation
of Colonel John M. Carson. quarter
master in New York. for the United
States army as superintendent of army
transport service of the port of New
York by Secretary of War Baker. is
the first step in 81 definite plan to CO.
ordinate military shipments of the
United States and the entente allies
from this port through the appoint
ment of a special shipping board, yet
to be named.
Edward D. Page. chairman of the
New York advisory committee of the
quartermaster's department, in a
statement tonight said in part:
Hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
can be saved by cutting red tape,
storing together goods for shipment
abroad, for the allied governments,
shipping together for the same des-
tination and releasing some 10000
freight cars now stacked up on the
railroads for miles out of New York.
The taking over of the dock prop
arty of the Hamburg-American and
the North German Lloyd lines by the
war department puts into the hands
of Colonel Carson docking facilities
capable of great expansion.
I'VE may expect maximum results
from the combined efforts of the w4r
department, the shipping board and all
shipping in this through medium of
this new organization"
