Change I'm Personnel.
The report to-day from France
shows that not only have $4,000 of the
$1,000 men Of the original Seventy
sixth been scattered in the nghting
army. but that probably a|large mum.
Der OF additional men passed through
its ranks in the same way. The di-
vision itself was never In action or
near the front. but It Is evident that
the bulk OF It's original personnel did
see action in other divisions.
1t may be that the extraordinary
depletion In the ranks OF the Seventy
sixth Division represents casualties
suffered by the Twenty-sixth Division,
the New England National Guard
force that was FIRST OF the troops
other than those Of the Regular Army
to reach France. This division saw
heavy fighting in many sectors and
won an eHNldDIc TcputdlIOl' Its CHS
ualties are certain to have been heavy.
and 1t is quite likely that 1t was kept
at lighting strength by replacement
drafts from the Seventy-sixth Division,
which was composed largely OF men
from the same part Of the country.
II that is true. the Twenty sixth, when
1t DOES come home. will appear more
like the old Seventy sixth than any
thing else for the bulk Of its personnel
will have been drawn from that source
Even IL the men OF the Seventy
sixth have not gone into the Twenty
sixth, but have been scattered among
other divisions. It is obvious that the
replacement system has served to
break up almost entirely the localized
character Of the original divisions. All
OF the active units are now filled with
men from the selective service. Ma
tional Guard and regular indiscrimi-
nately and had the war continued the
whole army would have been welded
together in this fashion until there
was no possibility of distinguishing
between the units except by number.

The death Of Frank Click In action
on the battle front in France has cast
its gloom over this city, not so mucn
because of his interesting and prornis-
ing personality which, Of course, in
fuences those within the circle OF his
personal acquaintances, but because
of the premonltion his death gives to
us all that there are others perhaps
many others, 70 follow. Our army is
at war now. Frank Click gave up for
his country what nigh. have been
forty years more of active, useful life
but he revived the Click name In this
community to command respect for
public service. His grandfather among
the pioneers rendered such home SER
vice that ward school bears his
name. and the first gold star in the
towns commercial club records the
sacrifice of life by young Click, the
soldier who chose the marines for en-
listment because he could get the
front the quickest. His is a hero's
grave. 1t will be honored and deco
rated by future generations of Mar
shalltown men. Young Frank is gone
and those who loved him are stricken
with grief, but the Click name will live
on in this community long after his
mourners of today have passed away.

What is said of Frank Click may be
repeated again and again, as other
names are cabled home, but he leads
because he went over the top first and
went first out into the Great Beyond.

PLANS FOR BABY WEEK.
Mothers Who Wish Babies Weighed
May Do So by Appointment.

The United States government, thru
the child's bureau of the national coun-
Gil of defense, urgently requests that
all children under years of age be
weighed and measured by June %, as a
protective war measure 1--WE must sec
that the children of the present are
properly prepared to take the place OF
those who are being moved down in
Europe" said Miss Grace Abbott of
the children's bureau. These children
will be asked to solve multitudinous
social and economic difficulties devel-
oped by war. They will be asked to
assume the enormous national debt.
We must give them every advantage
possible so that they may at least reach
maturity in condition to cope with great
problems. We must stake out new
claim for the protection of children,
commercial claims upon them should
be entirely turned aside"
1t Is asked of all those who do not
prefer to have them examined, weighed
and measured by their family physician
or nurse by June %, may by appoint
ment bring them to one of several sta
lions which will be established for this
purpose and without charge during the
week beginning June "a. The plan of
the various local committees is to carry
on a conference to determine the devel-
opment and present condition of chill
dren brought by their mothers for ex-
animation. A physician or nurse will
be present and great care will be taken
as to safeguarding the child. This will
be done in asking for appointment only,
| the appointment being made In adj
vance, thus preventing too many COM
| ing at one time. It is the desire not
| to bring together more than two Or
three at one time, and no child Is adj
mitted who has any evidence of con-
tagious disease, including bad colds.
The exan1ina ton is non conPeti-
tive and no score card is used. No
medical advice Is given. If defects are
| found which need medical treatment,
the mother is advised to consult her
own physician. The conference physi-
clan enters on a special record sheet
| the result Of his examination and a
summary of his advice to the mother
and gives her a copy Of this record
sheet. These examinations are to be
monthly, and for the year If possible.
! A class Of instruction for all mothers
on feeding Of children under s years
several times each month will be given
by Mrs. Mary Gregg, and she will be
assisted at times by someone trained
in the care Of children.
This method points out to the in
dividual parents ways in which they
may improve the care Of their children
1t corresponds to the medical inspec-
ton of school children. It is a means
of bringing defects of the children to
the mothers attention, and also edu-
eating her how to improve such condi-
items. ~
The enrolment is to be carried on by
the various captains and lieutenants Of
the different units recently enlisted un-
der the council of defense with an en-
rollment committee at its head. Cards
will be given to the mothers which will
be an application for enrolment.

Sweeping Order Modifying the CLASH.
foation Regulations Affects Men
Who Registered Both Years and
Who Married Since Passage Of Selee.
tive Service Law May 18, 1917.

A sweeping order which, in effect,
reclassifies into Glass l all registered
men who have been married since May
IS, 1917, and who have no children,
has been received by the local exemp-
ton board. The order comes as
modification of the regulations OF
classification and becomes effective at
once. The local exemption board Will
start next week to reclassify those
this order affects. 1t is estimated that
this reclassification will result in the
transfer OF about 100 men in the
county from Glass to Glass l.
Those who have been married since
MAY IS, 1917 but who have or who
expect child, are not affected by the
order. The date, May IS, 1917, Is the
date of the passage Of the selective
service law.
Three Glasses Affected.
The order directly affects three
Glasses according to the time Of their
registration and the date Of their
marriage.
The first OF these classes are men
who became q years Of age since June
5, 1917, who registered June S, 1918,
but who were married since Jan. 10,
1918. The fact OF their marriage and
the dependency Of the wife Is to be
entirely disregarded as claim for de-
ferred classification. This means that
practically all OF this class will be
classified in Class I.
The second class are those who be-
came 81 years or age since June o.
1917, and who registered May 5. 1918,
but who married after May IS, 1917
(the date of the passage of the selec-
tive service law but prior &c Jan. u,
1918. Regarding these the order reads:
Claims for deferred classification on
the ground of dependency resulting
from his marriage, the fact Of depeH-
dency resulting from the marriage will
will be disregarded as a ground for
deferred classification. unless the de-
pendent IS q child of the marriage,
born or unborn prior to June s, 1918,
in which case such resisrant, upon
satisfactory proof, shall be classified
in Glass e."
The third class includes all other
REGISTERED men, those who registered
June s, 1917. but who married since
May IS. 1917. Regarding these the
order reada eff a resistrant, other
than one who has attained the age OF
q years since juno 8, 1917, who has
contracted marriage since May 49,
1917, claims deferred classification on
the ground Of dependency resulting
from his marriage, the fact Of depen-
dency resulting from his marriage Will
be disregarded as a ground for de-
ferred classification, unless the depen-
dent is child of the marriage. born or
unborn on or before June 9, 1918, IN
which case such a registrant, upon
satisfactory proof being made, shall be
placed in Glass 81
