JUNE 5th REGISTRANTS.
Number Fell Short OF Census
Bureau Estimate.

Nearly complete reports to the
Provost Marshal Generals office
show that 744,S65 young Americans
who have become of age during the
past year registered for military
service on June 5. This is 266, ,724
below the estimate of the Census
Bureau, but since more than 200, 900
unregistered 21-year olds already
are enlisted in the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps, the military author
tiles find the result entirely salts
factory.
Army and Navy estimates place
the number of 21-year-old men en-
listed at 2O8,588. This figure COM
bined with the falling off in alien
registration gives a total of 353,-
6S6, which means that the Census
Bureau apparently missed the num-
ber of eligibles by only $4,000.
The 1918 registration totals by
states are as follows: Alabama, 49,

College President Resigns.

The Board of Visitors and Cover
nors of Washington College, Ches-
tertown, have accepted the resig-
nation to DR.. James W. Cain, Presi-
dent of the College, which he tend
cred last week together with a letter
stating he was taking the action be-
cause some members of the Board
were antagonistic to him, and his
plans.
The resignation is the result of a
row among the students, nine of
whom were expelled, whereupon
twenty more of the boys Immediately
left out of sympathy for those who
had been suspended.
The matter was brought to the at
tention Of the Board of Visitors and
Governors. DR.. Cain found a strong
sentiment among the members of
the board in favor of reinstating
those boys who had been suspended,
and he prepared his resignation in
writing in the afternoon, prior to the
meeting, and sent it to the board at
night.
This is the second time within the
past two years that DR.. Cain has re-
signed from the presidency of the
college, because of friction between
himself and certain members of the
Board of Visitors and Governors.
Two years ago a majority of the
board sustained DR.. Cain and his
faculty in their action, and he con-
sented to withdraw his resignation.
This time, however, he stated that
his resignation was final, and the
board accepted it.
During DR.. Gains administration
two handsome buildings. William
Smith Hall and the gymnasium, have
been added to the group of build
ings, at cost of s125, 900, and he
mas brought the institution into
prominence in the State and
throughout the country. During his
20 years of service he has always
sought to maintain a high standard
OF efficiency in every department of
the institution.

BEAR FIGHT IN EIKTON.
Jake Had No Gun, But He Used His
Shovel to Good Advantage.

The following blood-curdling ac-
count of bear fight is clipped from
the Elkton News and will be Of
thrilling interest to Jake's many
friends in this locality, his old home:
Former Deputy Sheriff Jacob H.
Reynolds, who has charge of the
Davis & Vinsinger ice plant in Elk
ton, was busily engaged at his duties
one night recently when he heard a
noise behind him and on turning
beheld burly form in the doorway
of the plant.
Thoughts of German spies and
alien enemies at once flashed
through Jake's mind, but he soon
saw that the intruder was no man,
and realized that at last the dreams
of his boyhood, when he hunted
wild game in the Octoraro hills, had
come true, and he was face to face
with real live bear.
eff 1 only had my gun," thought
Jake, who is celebrated Nimrod
and thinks nothing of killing
squirrel with snapped she'll, "Td
show Teddy Roosevelt he's not the
only man who can bring down big
game;" but he looked in vain for a
gun-and also looked in vain for a
tree, as the architect of the plant
had omitted to provide for such an
emergency as this.
The enemy started to advance,
and the situation was becoming des-
perate. Jake, who fears no man
and very few women, realized that
something must be done. He had
often tried to catch birds by sprink
ling salt on their tails, but that end
of the bear was too far away.
However, the suggestion was good
one, and seizing shovel he sprink
led ashes in bruins face, and the
victory was won. With growl of
disgust the denizen of the forest
beat it for the high bush.
Jake wears his laurels with be-
coming grace, but the boys say the
ice plant now resembles an arsenal

NENANA|TE TELLS
Of ARMY LIFE
NEAR THE FRONT
Late Employee of the A. E. C.
Is Helping to Build Roads
In France Now.

Lyman Longfellow, who was for
some time instrumentman in the
employ of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, is now a sergeant in
the 318th Regiment of Engineers
in France.
His regiment arrived Over There
last May, and are now preparing
to go to the front, where the &C
tual fighting take place, soon. Ly-
man has been permitted to men
ton in his letter to a friend in
Nenana, the name of the town in
which his regiment is stationed tenn
porarily, which he says is called
Gievres, and is somewhere near
Paris.
They are engaged at present in
construction work on the railroads
of France, and Lyman is doing
transitman's work, but ever so much
more of it than he was ever called
upon to do here.
He speaks of having visited a
nearby town, provided with a pass
from his commanding officer, where
he had pretty good time. France,
he says, is not a dry country by a
long way.
! From all accounts the former
Nenanaite is getting along we'll and
says he likes his work and that
he expects soon to be given an op.
portunity to take part in actua
battle.
