tive expedition headed by General Per-
shing, and the smaller movements
across the border since the return OF
members of the patrol between April
1911 and February 1917.
In the general order which has been
issued by the chief of staff for the
information of men in the service, one
interesting provision Is that whlch
makes eligible for this decoration those
soldiers who served in proximity to an
engagement between Mexicans which
resulted In casualties among their own
company, troop or detachment which
bring practically all the state guards
men in line for the privilege OF wear

to be suspended from brass bar by
a silken ribbon composed of a green
stripe, a band Of yellow. band or

whole ribbon being one and three
eighths inches wide and three-eighths
of an inch long.
The order recently promulgated by
General Pershing limiting the bever-
ages to be consumed by the American
evolutionary forces to Tight wines and
beer" Is expected to be forerunner
of a similar order to be made by the
commander of Camp Dodge and all
other national army camp commanders,
well informed army officers declared
today. There is no restriction on what
class of beverages army officers and
men may drink now, ahho dry zone

Sioux City.
A Sioux City father appeared at the
local army recruiting office Friday
evening, accompanied by his son, and
asked that the son be enlisted In the
army. The son was under age and
was not accepted. The father was very
much disappointed because he hoped
to get thes boy into the army where
he would be safe from the wiles of
women. He said: HE is getting to be
a CAD about at night and girls are at
the bottom Of it all. If he was IN the
army he would not have the oppor-
tunities and probably would come back
home too wise to be led astray, as he
will be If he is to continue living
here"
Waterloo.
G. H. Reavis, alias Allen Smith,
was arrested Saturday night on a
charge Of forgery by the police. 1t is
alleged he passed forged check on
act Of passing second check when ar
rested by the officer. When brought
to the station he admitted to Captain
Howard Garrison that both checks
were forgeries and he wanted to plead
guilty to the charge. He stated he was
resident Of Yuma, Ariz., and has been
floating" around the country. Reavis
asked that he be carried before Judge
and receive sentence for his alleged
crime. The two checks are held by the
police as evidence.
Waterloo.
Police Officer T. J. McCausland was
accidentally shot at local dance hall
about II o'clock Saturday night. The
officer in putting on his overcoat In
some manner dropped his gun out OF
the coat pocket. The gun struck the
floor and in some manner was dis
charged, the bullet entering his right
foot and taking a course UP his leg
coming out near the knee. The officer
was rushed to the ST. Francis hospital
for medical attention and 1t Is not
thought that the wound will prove ia
tai. However, the nature Of the wound
is serious due to the fact that the bull
let is of specially large caliber and
the course taken up the limb tore
many ligaments in the leg. It was for
tunate for the officer that no arteries
or large veins were penetrated by the
bullet.
Dubuque.
The Dubuque county exemption
board at Epworth faces a situation
that apparently demands the atten-
ton Of higher authority than the board
itself. With total registration OF
1867 men, the county board, after a
survey Of the situation discovered that
1902 are engaged directly in agricul-
tural pursuits, leaving only ATS en-
gagged in other occupations and from
which the next draft army quota must
be secured The net quota under the
first call was 1872 and 900 men were
examined before that number was Sc
cured. The county board members
however, realize that those engaged in
farm work. at least some, must neces-
sarily be included in the next quota
The selection OF these men Is the prob
lem that is so far unsolved and which
the county board ID seeking to have
the district board at Waterloo explain
The figures as made public In the let
ter asking assistance indicate that 20
per cent: OF the rcgistrants are farm
ers. or are engaged directly In farm
work - F5 -

has been established surrounding all
military reservations. and there Is a
law prohibiting the sale OF liquors or
their gift to men in the army and navy
uniform. No. restriction, however is
placed on the private consumption OF
intoxicants by army men, except that
they shall not indulge to excess. The
fact that the personnel Of the draft
army, however. Is chiefly men from
civil life, except perhaps some OF the
army officers who are accustomed IN
many instances to have no restrictions
whatever on their drinking, has about
convinced the war department that ap-
solute prohibition will have to be re-
sorted to If discipline and sobriety de-
sired so much Is attained. In practi-
cally every cantonment of national ar
my men, the chief offense draftees
commit is to imbibe too freely, and his
offense also runs to the officers, with
the result that discharges and prison
sentences have had to be meted out
to correct the evil. 1t was pointed out
today by army men that In time OF
war great discretion Is left with the
division commanders In promulSauhs
army regulations for the good OF the
service, and this fact Is believed to De
the compelling factor that made pos
sible the Pershing order prohioiins
consumption of the strong alcoholic
liquors among the American overseas
forces.

LEONARD LIKELY
 TO WAIVE COLOR
 LINE THIS SEASON

New York; Sept 12--Benny Leon ard may decide not to draw the "colori line" The lightweight champion is seriously considering boxing Leo John son, conceded to be the negro title holder in the same division. By so doing Benny undoubtedly will add am other spoonful of popularity to his all ready overfowing cup of prestige. When he won the championship from Freddie Welsh, Leonard announced he wanted to be a regular champion in every way. Thus far he has lived up to This announced intention.
 If Leonard decides that the .tcolor line is to play no part in his ring ac- ativities he will be the first of many modern champions to discard it. He will be the first champion who, has dared run the risk of losing his crown to a negro.
 To date Leonard never has boxed a negro, but his. manager, Billy Gibson, and he have had several conferences regarding such a bout recently, and the prospects are reported to be good by those who profess to be on the 'in- side" f r
