YOST In MINNESOTA
TO DISCHARGE CORPS
AT STATE SCHOOLS

Mayor John Dixon Yost. L. S. A..
1.-The man who adopted Bemidji,'
noted in army circles and In Mime
sofa as the man who recruited 49,
900 men in year in this state for
the war, Is in St. Paul from Wash.
ington with orders to muster out
the men in the student army train
ing camps in St. Paul and Mime
apolis.
The assignment is one Of special
Importance because of the RESPONSE
bility OF obtaining correct record
Of the physical condition Of every
man leaving the service, for possible
use in connection with claims for
war risk insurance. Of which there
is approximately $37,00O,0O0.O00
outstanding.
Teams Of surgeons at each camp
will make thorough examinations OF
oil men separated from service, Major
yost explained, and these records
will be preserved with the physical
records made on induction. This in
formation will be available when
claims are made for any disabilities
resulting from service.
Men disabled in any degree as the
result of military service are entitled
to recover under the war risk insur-
ance law" said Major Yost. THE
physical examinations now to be
made will be of Importance in deter
mining such disa bilities, and especi-
ally In the cases Of the limited serv-
ice men, among whom the percentage
of claimants may be larger than
among Glass men,
His assignment covers five student
army training camps: the University
of Minnesota with 1884 men and
Dunwoody Institute with about 700
men. both In Minneapolis; st. Thorn
as College with PIT men; Hamline
University with ZIG men, and Mac
alester College with 81 men, all in
St Paul.
The government wish is that de-
mobilization of the men at training
camps in ST. Paul and Minneapolis
be completed by December 81. but
the task Ia regarded too heavy to be
finished by that time.

RED CROSS SERVICE
BR0ADENS In SCOPE

The Red Cross Home Service is
organized neigfiborliness. 1t aims to
do for the whole community what
the church or lodge does for its men,
bers. It's great work at present is
for the soldiers families, helping
them to meet the changed conditions
due to the, taking of husband or a
son for military service. In the
spirit OF helpfulness and service, 1t
offers sympathy and aid to all who
need it.
The strongest men in the COM
munity are at its call, to give advice
on difficult questions. Is there delay
in securing the allotment and allow
ance due you from the soldier and the
government? Are you worried be-
cause you have not heard from your
boy? Are there business matters on
which you need advice, because the
man who used to attend to these
things is away? DO you need to take
advantage of the law by which a
mortgage cannot be foreclosed on a
soldier absent on military service
Do you want to know what steps to
take to claim the compensation or
insurance due because of soldier s
injury or death? Do you know of a
soldiers family where there is sick
ness or trouble or loneliness or actual
need? Take it to the Civilian Re-
lief committee of the Red Cross
The Civilian Relief. comittee is an
Information bureau to which you
can go with your questions.

BUT DO BRITISH WOMEN
H. LIKE THE BISHOPS DRESS
(By United Press.

- London, Nov. 10. tBy Mail. y
Our women-Heayen bless them and
dress them!"
This wall comes from a bishop who
depiores the fact that English women
hase taken to trousers.
Most people are of opinion IL
Heaven were interested in the dress
ing Of women they would still appear
in trousers at the present period.
Woman's garb often is an outward
expression Of soul, and through these
four years of hardship women have
had to clench their fists and keep a
stiff upper lip while they carried on
their mems work. Women have had
to step into the breach and play a
part--and they say they can play
the part allotted to them better II
they are dressed for 1t.
