PLAN To CARE.
For NEW ARMY
ADJUTANT GENERAL ISSUES
ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON PRO
GRAM TO BE FOLLOWED IN
EVERY DISTRICT.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Regulations
under which men in new national
army will be called to the coiors be-
ginning September I. were issued by
General Crowder. They map out Il
detail of the whole program to be
followed until every soldier has been
accepted by the adjutant general of
the training cantonment in which he
is assigned. Two hundred thousand
will be called first. The whole process
of handling the men is entrusted to
civilian local boards. Until men reach
the camps they will not come in con-
tact with uniformed officers.
Board members are directed to be
present when the men entrain. They
are instructed to impress upon them
the fact that disobedience of order is
the gravest military crime. For each
district, five alternates may be sum-
moned to the board headquarters in
addition to the men actually selected,
to fill the quota. They may be held
at the assembling point until train
time to fill any vacancies should any
men fail to report, If there are evi-
dences of wilful violation of orders,
offenders may be reported to the ad-
iutant general as deserters.

RELEASE
Of TWO | MEN
TWO HURD BOYS WERE UNDER
AGE, SAY FATHERS, AND IN
STITUTE HABEAS RPU S
PROCEEDINGS.

Habeas corpus proceedings seeking
the discharge of James F. and Millard
Hurd from duty as privates in Com
pany l, were filed in the federal court
yesterday morning by Charles a!3d
William Hurd, fathers respectively of
the young men, against Captain Jas.
F. Philips, commanding the company.
The ground upon which the release
of the men is sought is that they
are under the age of eighteen years,
their parents.
An almost parallel case, involving
the same question which is at present
occupying the interest of many par
ents, occurred in Pensacola several
years ago, when Bryant Merritt Bell
was ordered released from duty in a
local militia company by Judge En-
NETT Wolfe, of the circuit court, upon
application of Mr.. Bells father for a
writ of habeas corpus.
The opinion of the circuit judge
was later reversed by the supreme
court, Judge Chas. B, Parkhill, form
erly of this city handing down the
decision. Judge Parkhill held that
a minor, over the age of eighteen
might be enlisted in the militia, but
could not be drawn into federal ser
vice without the consent of his par
ents. In the proceedings filed yester,
day, it is claimed that the men are
under the age of eighteen. and were
ineligible for service even in the mill.
tia, without the written consent OF
their parents.
Since the decision of Judge Park
hill, there has been much Legislation
on this subject. and the determine
tion of the present case will be held
up until the whole matter can be in
vestigated.

Anonymous Patriot Gives 500
To Expense Fund of Draftees

One hundred dollars was given yes
terday by a Pensacolian who refused
to divulge his identity, for the pur-
pose of caring for the men from the
surrounding country, subject to draft,
who have come to the city for ex-
animation, and are undergoing real
hardships because of the delay.
The fund was placed in charge of
First Lieutenant Quina, of Company
/, who will disburse it to those in
need. Anyone, waiting on the ex-
emption board, may have access to the
fund, upon application to the officer
in the armory hall, where the COM
pany is encamped.
Owing to the great amount of de-
tail work in making the examinations,
and because of insufficient assistance,
the work has gone forward slowly,
and many of the men have been
forced to remain in the city over time.
While the doctors who are conducting
the examinations have labored cease
lsesly, the vast amount of work lps
made it almost impossible to operate
on schedule time.
The Pensacola journal., 1917-08-10

Five doctors started to work Thurs
day morning at five o'clock and
worked steadily through the day. ad-
iourning at six yesterday afternoon.
Eighty-siX men were examined. but
when man is found disqualified By
one physician, ha is re-examined by
another, so there were twenty one re
examinations, making a total of 1O-
examinations in all.
Fifty cots have been placed in the
Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium, and last
night large number of tn men in
the city took advantage of she quar-
ters. These cots will remain in the
building for a week or more tntil ths
examinations are over, and Secretary
Jennings states that g. Zone who
wishes, is welcome to use them.
Some of the men came to the city
expecting to return the same day, and
consequently, when delayed, found
themselves without provision for
spending the night in the city. Some,
it is stated, were fed at the county
Jail, and others found quarters at va
rious places.

MAINTENANCE
Of HIGHWAYS
TO Be SHOWN
Demonstration of Split-Log
Drag on Barrancas Road
This Afternoon.
GOOD ROAD TO
STATION NECESSITY
Much Money Lost by Faulty
Maintenance of System,
Says Engineer.

A demonstration Of the efficiency
of the split-log drag in sand-clay road
maintenance will be given this after
noon on the Barrancas road between
the Halfway House and the Bayou
Grande bridge. The demonstration
will be witnessed by the county COM
missioners and others who are in
tecested in having the road improved
without delay.
Capt. j. l.. Jayne has rendered the
use of the governments split-log
drag, which has been used effectively
on the road within the reservation,
and S. 7. MCAdams will furnish one
of the Pensacola Ice Company's large
trucks to make the test drag today.
Major J, NJ. Hughes and Capt.
Jayne are desirous of having the con-
dltlon of the road improved at once
and they will request the county COM
missioners to operate a split-log drag
upon it regularly.
County Commissioner Candy stated
yesterday that it is his intention to
improve the road as soon as possible.
but that he has been seriously handi-
capped through lack of funds. He
said that he will gladly cooperate in
giving the army aud navy a firsf-
class road to the reservation, and will
arrange to operate tie drag by as
signing ''trusty7 and team of mules
to the work.
Great interest is manifested in thG
proposal to drag the road regularly
and a number of citizens expressed
themselves as being highly pleased
with the prospect of the suggestions
made by U. S. Highway Engineer Bur
rell being carried out. In his exhaus-
tive report on the highways of Es-
Gambia county, Engineer Burrell said
that it is essential for the sand clay
roads to be dragged Systematically
after every rain. In supplementing
his report Mr.. BurrelI stated that
large sums of money have been vast
ed on road building in this county
because there was no proper scheme
of maintenance and that intelligent
systematic use of the split-log drag
would keep the roads in excellent
condition while saving the taxpayers
thousands of dollars each year for the
| construction of new roads which give
the county a correlated system.

Revised Regulations to Gov
ern Physical Examination
of the Men Issued.
CHANGES DEAL WITH
WEIGHT AND HEIGHT
This May Result in Recall
of Some Rejected on
These Grounds.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Revised reg
ulations to govern physical examina-
tion of men registered under the Sc
lective draft were issued today by
Surgeon General Gorgas of the army
and communicated to the governors
of the states for information of local
boards. The changes deal for tS*e
most part with questions of proper
tionate weight and height, but may
result in the recall of some men re-
jected heretofore on physical grounds.
The new regulations grant an IN
derweight allowance of from to 6
pounds for men between 81 and 81
inches in height, seven to eight pounds
between 67 and 80 inches, nine to ten
pounds between 70 and IA inches, and
II pounds above rs inches.
An additional half an inch allow
ance in chest expansion also is al
lowed to men above IS inches in
height.
Men with poor teeth also will! be
more closely scrutinized hereafter
where dental work will restore the
teeth, they will either be enrolled and
the work done by army dentists, or
allowed time to have the work done
for themselves. A punctured ear
drum is found to be no barrier pro-
vided the hearing is half normal.
Notifications are made also in sight
requirements. Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder has urged prompt ac-
tion by the local boards in certify
ing as held for service, men who
make no claim for discharge or ex-
emption. A daily report to the dis
trict boards is required, at the close
of each days work and, similarly,
district boards will report each night
to the adjutant general the men final
ly accepted.
"The government will call upon To-
cal and district boards to furnish one
third of their quota on September L."
General Crowder's message says un-
der the heading 'the first call to the
colors."
every person concerned in the
execution of the law will feel that a
prompt and accurate response to this
call Of the nation is the precise re-
suit for which he has labored so
long, so arduously and with such un-
selfish devotion"
Then follow the requirements for
daily reports of the progress as out
lined. Local boards are urged not to
stop examining men when the quota
has been reached. The boards should
be certain beyorj doubt that enoug n
men have been certified the statement
says, adding:
"The more men examined, the more
complete will be the repose of the
public mind and the minds of the
men whose case otherwise remain un-
decided"
In another supplemental ruling
General Crowder states that men
serving prison terms for misdemean-
ors are not exempt by reason of that
fact. If the peace authorities wiz
not release them for military service
they will be required to present them
selves for examination when their
prison terms have been completed.

OF DIABOLICAL DEED

a negro of Jacksonville, Fla, the only
American survivor of the British
steamship Belgian Prince which was
sunk July 81, by a German subma-
rine with the loss of So lives, today
gave details of his experiences to The
Associated Press. He said:
"a torpedo hit the engine room. A
submarine then quickly came to the
surface about two hundred yards to
starboard and fired at our wireless
apparatus.
1--WE left the Belgian Prince in
three boats and had got fifty yards
from the ship when the submarine
came alongside and asked for our
captain who was taken aboard and
inside U-boat.
"The members of the crew were
ordered to hold up their hands and
the Germans asked if there were any
gnnners among US. Although there
were two we saSd, mo- The Germans
next asked if we had any pocket
arms.
eve were then ordered to the deck
of the submarine where we were told
bv the commander to remove our life
belts and to lie on the deck. This we
did. Then the commander went into
the boats, threw the oars into the
sea, and had his men remove the pro-
visions. After that the plugs were
taken out of holes in the boat which
were then cast adrift.
"The submarine went to the north
east for twelve miles, the commander
taking the lifebelts to the top of the
coming tower and throwing them
overheard. I hid mine under a rain
coat and as the submarine began tC
submerge, l tied it around my neck
and jumped into the sea.
"The rest of the crew stayed or
deck until they were swept off by the
sea as the boat dived. 1t was ter
rible sight. One by one they threw
up their hands and went down, OF
fighting to keep up, they splasheC
water as they disappeared"
