Would you be willing to take free
evening school instructions, fitting
you for service in some occupation in
the army before you are called to
camp" Ninety per cent of the regis
trants in the city answered this ques-
ton, Yes
Here is an opportunity for all reg

which they will find to their advan
tage, if drafted. All registrants are
invited to join with Company A or
Company B for the purpose of gaining
this military knowledge. They will
be permitted to enroll for this purpose,
even after the companies are recruit
ed to their full strength.
AS soon as the Companies C and d
are organized, the local forces will be
given a battalion number by the ad
jutant general.
BY the time the recruits are ready
for them the organizations expect to
have Kraag rifles from the United
States government but in order to get
these rifles, they must have at least
company out of the battalion that
volunteer for service in any part of
the state for the purpose of guarding
or protecting federal property.

Judge Lee was charged with usurping
his authority in revoking Nelson's

of his family are true, l may grant
your petition, but l shall certainly

WAIT FOR NOTICE
Boards Will Tell RegistrantS
When To Report.
No One Knows When Examina-
tiOns viii Be ReSrmed.
MUCH CONFUSION CAUSED
Some Men May Have To BE
Examined Again.
New Orders Will Garry Differ
ent Requirements.

Physical examinations of military
service registrants. discontinued last
week upon laConic orders from Wash
ington. will remain suspended unit
resum ption is ordered by the provost
marshal general, members and o fl
cials of the Topeka draft boards as
serted today. No intimation to
when the renewal order will come has
been received. When it is received
registrants will be notified thru the
press and by card from their local
boards
Members of the Topeka board are
inclined to believe that the eXamina-
tions will not be continued until local
boards which have not certified their
fun quota in the first draft have done
so. New rules and regulations gov
erning the examinations are also to be
sent from Washington. The new rules
were announced in the newspapers
several days ago. previous to the sus-
pension order. but they have not yet
been received by the local boards Of
fieially.
May Re-eNamnc Men.
Local boards are considerably up
in the air. as to just what policy they
will pursue on renewal of eXamina-
tons. There is a consensus of opinion
that many men already examined will
have to be called in again and more
data gathered. The government is
asking that Industrial information
about each registrant be complete,
and a large number of n2en who
waived exemption did not fully com
plete occupational data.
When these data are completed by
each registrant the government will
have full details of the occupational
fitness and efficiency of every man
registered.
Much Confusion Caused.
More or less confusion has been ex-
perienced by the local boards since the
order was issued to discontinue eX-
aminations. The message came with
out warning and provided no way for
the boards to notify registrantS sum-
mcned TO appear at a certain time not
to come, but to await further orders.
Several registrants have been forced
to spend considerable money in tele-
graph charges to ascertain when they
are to report A registrant arrived to
report to Topeka board No. from
Oklahoma City today.
Registrants should act according to
notifications sent out after the discon-
tinUance order, the board officials
pointed out. No one should appear
until called under new notice. The
responsibility of receiving such notice
will, of course, be placed upon the
regiStrant.
