-FOUR minute" men
SATURDAY NIGHTS IN BOTH PIC
TURE HOUSES-HONE
SPEAKERS.

A nationwide movement to inform
the people on stirring public ques-
tions has been organized, and at this
time is well under way toward a com
plete organization. The national
committee on public information,
through the state chairman, III. f.
Bushnell, of Sioux Falls, has appoint
ed II. III. Holdridge chairman OF
Lake county, and who will arrange
for the work Of the county.
The rules of the game is TO obtain

moving picture houses, on subjects
of popular interest. at least once a

night. i'm each theater. and that il Is
intended TO present the argument or
speech in the ecess between the
times of the evening shows. Mr..
Holdridge's arrangements for Lake
county will be much simplified by
the fact that Madison is the only
town in the county which supports
movie houses.
1t is the idea of the national com
mittee to have the subject of some
thing instructive in national matters,
short, to the point, and of patriotic
nature if possible. The first three
subjects and one of which will be
presented at each show house a week
from tonight. are What are we
fighting for?", The necessity of win
ming the war quickly" and The CON
sequences of defeat" other subjects
will be selected as the work prog

their presentation.

DRAFTING LIST
WORK WILL BE CONDUCTED SYS-
TEST TO BE FIRST.

Washington, ID. c.. July 81
While local selection boards were at
work today assembling men of the
seleetive draft forces. officials of the
provost marshal generals office be-
gan preparing a new publication TO
furnish registered men with an easy
method of keeping track of their
status in their district.
The new list will be issued with
cross reference by number between
the red ink and drawing numbers.
1t will be possible for those supplied
with the lists to inform any man al
most instantly in what order he was
drawn when he furnishes his red ink
number. Registrars who expect to
be called in the first draft now must
watch the selection board headquar-
ters so rs to know immediately when
their names are posted. The date
when they are TO report for physical
examination will be shown at the
same time.
The question of dependents will
not come up in any way until a re-
port on a mans physical condition
shows him TO be suitable for military
service. When that has been receiv-
ed the selection board will be pre-
pared to receive affidavits on de-
pendents the prospective soldier has.
The forms of the affidayits will be
shown by the board.
Similarly, forms for applications
for exemption on industrial grounds
or for appeal from the ruling of the
section board will not be available
until the time for their use comes.
The purpose of the plan is to avoid
the piling up of documents and to
provide that the boards will have be-
fore them at any time only the pa
pers of cases in process of hearing.

brought in August 5, on which day
the whole force of probably 500, 900
men will be drafted into the army Of
the United States and will lose it's
status as militia. From that day on
the state troops a be used for any
duty the president may, direct and
will be subject to no limitations that
do not also apply to the regular army.
The first increment of the guard
was called out 10 days ago. Those
called today in the second increment
embrace New England, middle west
ern and northwestern states and sew
cral southern states. Probably more
than 10000 men went on the fed
eral payroll. New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio troops and those from
several other states were in the first
increment.
With liberalization of the entire
force complete after August 5. the
ranks of all regiments then will be
filled up to full war strength with
men from the selective draft lists.
There have been many things to
indicate that guard regiments which
are now fairly well equipped and
which had the benefit OF the border
mobilization will not be held long at
the divisional training camps. If
transportation is available the best of
the state troops may be hurried to
France at once. stopping only for
final QUILTING before they sail. The
intensive instruction to fit them for
trench warfare will be given at the
American training camps in France.

five hundred railroad switchmen en-

government transportation and ex-
planned that 1t resulted from demands
Of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men for a closed shop.
James Murdoch, vice president Of
the brotherhood, who is in Chicago in
charge of the union interests in the
controversy, said the reason assigned
by the railroad officials for the strike
was absolutely and unqualiiedly
false and on a par with many other
statements coming from that source"
THE strike results from the failure
Of the roads to concede certain rea-
sonable rules affecting working con
ditions," he said.
The statement of the managers lists
the number of switchmen in the Chi
cago district at about $500, of whom
$500 belong to the brotherhood, about
$500 to the Switchmen's Union of
America, with about 1900 either non

GOVERNOR FAVORS
CROWDER'S PLAN
All Drafted Men May Be Ex.
dmlned Forthwith.

Columbus, Sept. 17.-Governor Coz
, likely will approve the plan advanced
by Provost General Crowder, Wash
ington. to have all drafted men ex
amined forthwith to find out what the
national army's man power is and to
let every eligible know what to ex.
pect. The plan was submitted to Ad
tutant General Wood here some time
ago.
The governors of all the states have
been asked to return their opinions to
General Crowder on the feasibility of
examining all eligibles for the nation
al army row and have the business
over. This would mean the examina.
tion OF 100000 men, as it is estimat.
ed that 100000 have been examined
to supply the quota of $1,000 men
for the first national army.
1t is felt that the plan, if carried
out, would be of infinite benefit to se-
lected men, draft boards and the ma.
ton alike.
