ern Shore. The members of the band
will wear their famous Scotch kits.

Every member of the band is de-

Chicago exclusively for the Eastern
Shore tour. There will be no admis-
sion charge at any concert.

the Germans faith in their ultimate victory.

the Germans, who are reputed for their learn

Few Malingerers
Able to Deceive
British Surgeons
Doctors Combat Deceit
With Deceit and Easily
Detect Frauds

One hears Of many men fit for mill
tary service trying to evade. it by
feigning disease, says 1.-THE London
Daily Mail"
In France and Germany the military
surgeon has always been on the look
out for malingerers; In England, while
the army was a voluntary one, the sur
geon's great task was to keep out men
who concealed defects in their anxiety
to get in.
Hence our doctors had no great ex-
perience of malingering, and were not
skilled in it's detection when they were
overwhelmed by the rush of recruits
at the outset of compulsory service, and
a man who wanted to deceive had very
good chance of succeeding. His chance
Of getting off hencefUrward will be very
much less.
But the number # the worst type
of malingering cases, those In which

the conclusion that pure malingering

A malingerer must be extremely
clever to succeed in his deception now
that the art of discovering stimulation
is so perfect. The subject is a vast
one, but few examples of the doctors
diagnostc resources will show that he
can seldom be deceived.
The malingerer's special pitfall is
his tendency to overact his part. "He

$4,000 Surgical Relief
Workers Decide to
Help Red Cross

Henry P. Dawson. chairman OF the
Red Cross War Council, announced
from Washington yesterday that the
National Surgical Dressings Committee,
a war relief agency, with 10000 mem
bers. had become an auxiliary of the
American Red Cross, in the interest
of economy and efficiency.
"The arrangement with the Red
Cross provides" said Mr.. Dawson.
"that the Surgical Dressings Committee
shall retain its name and organization
and carry on its present work in the
United States as q national auxiliary
of the Red Cross. II may solicit funds
in its own name, but no solicitation
shall be made in the name Of the Red
Cross, unless all the proceeds there
from are turned over to the Red Cross
organization. The committee will give
full reports concerning its activities
and finances to the Red Cross.
"The French section of this COM
mittee will become the Surgical Dress
ings Service Department Of the Amer
lean National Red Cross. 1t will ad-
minister in France all the surgical
dressings work Of the Red Cross, and
will be in charge Of Mrs. G. x. Austin,
heretofore director in Paris of the
French section of the Surgical Dress
ings Committee.
1.-THE Red Cross seeks to encourage
the efforts Of all relief organizations.
II is hoped that all such organizations,
which are manufacturing materials for
hospital or other relief work among
our allies in Europe. may become aux
iliaries of the Red Cross, thus avoid
ing duplication. Such auxiliaries will
retain their name and identity, the
Red Cross will assist them in making
their work effective, and with such
utilization the Red Cross will transport
their materials TO Europe free Of
charge, and see TO il that such mate
rails are properly distributed"
Independent war charities at frst
stubbornly resisted the efforts OF the
American Red Cross to enroll them as
auxiliaries, and resented the intima-
ton that they would not be able to
ship goods as heretofore unless they
agreed to the terms Of the Red Cross.
With renewed activity by submarines.
however, it became evident that some
measures must be adopted to consol'-
date war relief work, in order to

the Independent organizations have
agreed to the plans Of the Red Cross.

affiliated about seventy-hve war chart

In Some Sections All Eligi-
bles Seek to Escape
Service
Riots Under Control
Part of National Army To Be
Ordered to Camps by
September l
tstxf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-lncomplete
returns from the selective draft boards
throughout the country to-day indl-
Gated that a large number of exemp-
tions had been claimed, possibly 10 per
cent of the draft eligibles in the first
call having entered sops ground on
which they expected to be released
from serving in the National Army.
As yet the boards have been unable to
get through the mass Of affidavits that
have been submitted in support or
these claims, and it possibly VIII be
another week before definite calcula-
ton Of the percentage OF men TO be
exempted can be made.
In most sections of the country to-
day was a holiday for the local boards.
Reports received at the Office Of the
Provost Marshal General indicated
that while disorders were still contlnu-
ing in Oklahoma, North Carolina and
other sections in the South and South
west, the authorities have them well
in hand, except for the Indians in OK
lahoma. many of whom have gone off
to the hills, refusing to report on their
draft calls. While the Federal author
tiles stand ready to uphold the state
authorities in compelling obedience to
the draft law, there was no indication
tonight that 1t would be necessary to
call out Federal troops.
The returns on the number of eligi-
bles claiming exemption throughout
the country differ with the localities
from which they come. From one
town in Maine there came report
that out of seventy-two called for ex-
animation sixty-eight had been ac-
cepted physically and less than 20 per
cent had claimed exemption. From
other sections the reports indicate
high percentage of claims.
In most sections Of the country the
first call men have already been ex-
amined and practically all have filed
their notices of exemption claims.
Many afidsvits have been filed and
by the end of the present week the
draft officials hope to have these
passed upon in order that it will be
possible to estimate the percentage OF
tn men called who will be ready for
service at the new army environments
on September l. =.
II is not expected the entire draft
of 1900 men will be completed by
that time, but part Of those accepted
for service will be ordered to camp on
that date.
