Registered Men Cannot
Enlist.

Numerous inquiries have been
received at the various recruiting
Offices throughout the State in re-
gard to the advantages q man en-
listing now has, over the man who
waits to be drafted. An erroneous
impression seems to be prevalent
that registered men can enlist at
any time, and avoid being called
by their local boards. Such is not
the case, however. Registered
men, regardless of what class their
local board puts them in, and re.
CARELESS of the fact that their local
board is willing to give them :
release, cannot enlist in the Army.
Enlistments in the Army must
come from men outside of the
draft age, namely from Is to FL
and from 81 to 40 years of age.
The only advantage the man en-
listing has over the man who gets
into the army by means Of the
draft act is that he has choice of
the branch of the service he likes
best. A man enlisting in the
Regular Army is trained more
rapidly, as the U. s. Regulars are
able to aborb from IS to 50 per
cent of their enlisted strength in
new recruits. The men train eide
by side with veteran soldiers, and
consequence make much more
rapid progress than they would il

little or no previous militarytr,in-

I One Indian i'I| Match for f.
Twenty Huns.

One North Dakota Indian is q
match for 20 Germans, accol ding
to a letter received from Sgt. E.
H. Tostevin, now in. service in
France. The Indian is Charlie
Rogers, a full-blooded Sioux of
the Standing Rock reservation,
and member of the 18th. U. S.
Infantry. r.. . =. .
"You ought to see that Indian
the first time the Boche made a
raid on our trenches writes Ser
geaLt Tostevin. He leaped over
the parapet swinging bis old rifle
over his head. He let out a yell
that he had saved for years, and it
was a genuine war-wboop by one
of the people who make war whoop-
ing famous.
"The Huns we're pretty close
before we mixed. Rogers, of
course, had bis gun loaded with
five rounds, and his bayonet fixed.
After swinging bis gun around
his head a couple of times, be
brought it down to his shoulders
and emptied his shells at the en-
envy, swung it again, yelled and
jabbed, and used the butt of his
gun to smash the skull of another.
l had my hands full all this time,
but the crazed Indians actions
were so. fast that we half watched
him, Germans and we fellows
alike. 1t was only small fracas
anyway. The 20 or more Ger
mans who were left to beat it, beat
it for their lives. Rogers never
got scratch. 1t was in fact very
much one-man scaap, almost an
exhibition. l never saw a man
move so fast il my life, and l
guess the Germans hadn't either. :"
Rogers is now being utilized as
a sniper, and is now enjoying him
self picking off enemy snipers.
Sergeant Tostevin adds, and says
that other Indians in the regiments
are being used for scouting and
patrol duty because of the natural
instinct which fits them for this
kind of work. Eek. \ ~ ...a

galley and Chips and the cook were
shaking so hard they made the pans

When the firing stopped I went up
to the boat deck. I had on all of my

wearing a pair of wooden clogs. The
men and boys were crazy-rushing
around the deck and knocking each

everybody else's way. We lowered our

I noticed that there were red kegs In
the German boat,
When the lifeboat reached the Ja-

NAM came over the side and hoisted
up the kegs. The Germans were
armed with bayonets and revolvers.

that the Germans would take us over

Ladies of this Relief Corpsi allow
me, please, to commend you. You
have named your organization after
| the immortal Phyllis Wheatley.
Phyllis Wheatley! what . name to
Iconiure with! II sends the thinking
mind back to the dim past. 1t re-
calls to the memory the little slave
girl who contributed to her COM
munity something which is at once
sublime and deathless; something that
lis at once grand and great; some-
thing that is at once marvellous and
Inspiring. Phyllis Wheatley! yes,
lbut what a personality to honor
what character to emulate! what
deeds to be inspired byl Only a
slave girl say you? Yes! but one who
TRAINED her thoughts to utter the
longing of freehorn souli one in
whom dwelt the inward fire Of the
mystic muse! one whose conduct was
the product of refined character
!. Her ambition did not end with her
, proficiency in dusting chairs and
making beds, in cooking meal and
polishing kitchen utensils; she did not
choose to move along path which
!. was self-constricted, narrow, anc
ancient; her life and enjoyment was
!. not superficial and largely primi-
tive; her progress was not more in
]. appearance than in fact; she did not
indulge in fine clothes and think only
s1cheap thoughts; she did not look like
, an angel but acted like the devil. She
. rose according to her time. She
; lowered with her age. She was afraie
J lof no one. She met all upon ar
Iequality of spirit. She gave them Of
i her best. A slave-girl! Yes; but
: with a mind-power, pride, hu
I mility, strength of character, ane
q service that made not for arrogance
land war, but for self-respect ane
peace.
i conclude as / began: A commun
ity cannot rise higher than the in
: dividuals that compose it. The per
/ sonal character and conduct Of eact
: individual gives quality, tone
!. strength, or weakness to his com
: munity. Heaven grant that eaci
!, Of yours shall always be full, and O
the right quality.
