hundred men are needed to hll the
regiments of the city to war strength
before they are mustered into Fed

II the District companies are not

1t is understood that vacant places
in the ranks will be filled with con-
scripts.
Although conscripted men OF the

Army troops of other States. il is
planned. according to War Depart

other state guards to the District
regiments to bring them to war
status. Thus the District National
Guard will continue to preserve its

VACCINATION ORDER
Department Order Brings Sharp
Criticism From Employees League

In answer to the storm of protest,
on the part of employees of the War
and Navy departments, against the
order making vaccination for small
pox and typhoid fever universally
compulsory in those departments It
is understood that the officials of the
Federal Employees Union. will con-
slider the matter at an early meeting
and take some action to make less
drastic the ruling of the department
chiefs.
Joseph Hurley. vice president of the
Federal Employees Union and presi-
dent of the District branch of that
body. stated yesterday that he
thought it highly probable that the
matter would be considered with a
view to protecting many of the aged
employees, who might be seriously in
jured by innoculation.
Il cannot see how the statement
made by a morning newspaper. to the
effect that failure to comply with the
compulsory innoculation regulation
would result in the dishonorIble dis
charge OF the employe, so failing"
said Mr.. Hurley. In my opinion
such a step would be impossible"
According to Hurley all District
employees have been requested to Sc
cure vaccination against typhoid fever
and small pox and the District Off
cials have provided the service free.
The matter is not compulsory. how
ever. with District employees. and has
been suggested in the form Of a re-
quest. rather than as an official order.
Many clerks have already taken
antitoxin at the District Building.

And still the maid was cold and shy
But when mis- hopes grew dim,
He got big red auto, and
Behold! she married him.
He failed in business and he sold

She got a quick divorce
And leaving him to mediate
On his unlucky star,
She married in a week or less
