CARTHAGE, ILL.,, JUNE rs.

The hour of Sis a. m. has no ter
rors for Hancock county people,
when it comes to sending off COM
pany of our boys to camp, as was evil
denced by the fact that hundreds OF
automobiles from a distance were
present Monday morning at
the Wabash station, where no of
Hancock county's. boys entrained
for Camp Grant, at Rockford, Illinois.
A great number of these boys were
from the rural districts and had
been exempted a number of times
previously, owing to the pressing
need of their services in farming
operations during the spring and
summer. Everything was hustle and
hustle TO be ready for the train Mon
day morning, the boys reporting at
the court house for roll call at 400
a. m the line of march headed by
Carthage band, the members of the
exemption board, the Home guards,
and the Red Cross officials escorting
the soldiers for encampment to the
train While each and every going
away has been touched with much
sadness, this was evidenced as the
most pathetic scene yet witnessed,
coming so close upon the death of
our Sergeant John E. Morgan whose
memorial was held In the court
house park, Sunday Afternoon at 800
p. m, when the boys who composed
this contingent were present with
their families and loved ones, they
being scheduled to make report to
the exemption board at 400 p. m
Sunday. No farewell address was
made
AS was the custom, owing to the
hurry of the exemption board to fin
ish I'D last minute details for the
men before entrainfng.
A gentle shower began falling
about 500 a. m before autos from
a distance had barely reached home,
and continued to fall until about 10
a m. giving the country a rain which
will benefit all growing crops, and
help to make this years corn crop
one of the most beautiful in this
section of the corn belt
The city was crowded Sunday af-
ternoon, with people to attend the
memorial services held in the court
house park at 800 D. m. in honor
of Sergeant ]. e. Morgan, who was
seriously wounded while fighting
with the marine corps in France, and
passed away June 10. Hon. A w.

WASHINGTON. June 25.-Con.

the scope of the draft law.
With the amendments to the army
bill to increase the enrolment age
for the draft to 1915 now before
congress, leaders agree it would De
wiser to give Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder an opportunity to frame
the legislation he desires before
starting work.

mean that every male De
tween IS and As would be
classified for some sort of service
and would be subject to call for ina.
service, under military rule. He could
not strike on war work without FAC
ing court martial.
General Crowder thoroughly en-
dorses the principle of the France
amendment. He told the senate mil,
itary committee recently it would enc
the labor shortage, by putting all tne
country's labor, skilled and unskllled'
instantly at the presidents call
The Fall amendment, on the other
hand, is a military service measure
with addition of training provision.
1t would prevent the use on the flrltlg
line of those between Is and II, but
would allow them to be trained, SO
when they became II, they couia
instantly be utilized. This would
mean that each year the fighnng
forces would be increased by about
100000 fully trained men, while there
would always be a large number Oh
