RIGID RULE EXCLUDES
WOULD Be NURSES
Baxter Springs Has Not Yet Ac.
cepted Any Applications for
Red Cross Nurse Stu
dents for War Work

Mrs. A. R. Kane and Mrs. Wesley
Smith, the special committee of the
Red Cross, whose duty It is to regis
ter applicants for enlistment as Red
Cross nurse students, have requested
the Daily Citizen to announce that ap-
lications will be received at any time
at the home Of either Of the ladies.
Several young ladies have made in
quiry about the matter but so far no
enlistments have been secured in Bax-
ter Springs.
The obstacle that appears to stand
in the way is the requirement that the
applicant must have had at least two
years Of high school education. Sew
eral very competent young women
have been rejected because, while
they have good common school edu-
cations and are capable Of meeting all
ordinary educational requirements, in
some cases better than high school
graduates even, they cannot claim
high school training.

WILSON ENDORSES M. E.
PREACHERS FUND PLAN

(By international News Service)
Chicago, Aug. 14.-President Wood
row Wilson has sent the following
letter to Rev. John T. B. Smith, man
ager of the Methodist Episcopal
Church Preachers Pension Fund, en-
dorsing the plea Of that campaign for
persons to purchase war savings
stamps and contribute to the fund:
81 have received your letter of July
is and note with a great deal of in
terest your statement that the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church has decided in
all its future campaigns for preach
ers' pensions to plead with the people
to buy Liberty Bonds or War Savings
Stamps and donate them to the
Preachers Pension Fund. This seems
to be an admirable idea and most in
teresting evidence of the active in
terest of the great Church you repre-
sent in promoting the great cause in
which the nation is now enlisted"

While the bill extending the draft
ages to include men between the ages
of 18 to 45 years, has not become q
law, it has been favorably reported to
the senate by the Military committee
and is considered just as good as a
law now. 1t will likely be put through
congress as soon as that body reas-
sembles next week.
The bill, which was prepared under
the direction of Secretary Baker, is
framed to enable the nation to in
crease its war program in accordance
with an understanding reached with
the Allies. About 100000 would be
registered under the new law, and
Provost Marshall General CrOwder es-
Inmates it will make available ut once
for military service 2,S9S,00O men
between the ages of 1S and 20 and ~
and as.
The work-or-fght amendment ac-
cepted was offered by Senator Reed OF
Missouri as a substitute for one pre-
sented by Senator Thomas of Colo
RADIO. 1t provides "that when any
person shall have been placed in de-
ferred or exempted classes" he shall
mot be entitled to remain therein un-
less he shall in good faith continue
while physically able to do So the
work and follow such occupation"
Should he fail to do this, he would be-
come subject to immediate draft.
The Reed educational amendment
affects both army and navy volunteers
and those who have been drafted. un-
der its provisions upon application the
youths would be given ian education
at the expense of the government al
approved educational institutions, the
period of such education being equiv
alent in point of time to the period
by him served in the army or navy
but shall not exceed two years"
Another amendment offered by the
MissoIii senator would permit sol
diers.sand sailors, regardless OF age
who have either volunteered or beer
drafted, to receive commissions. They
also would be made eligible for ad'
mission to officers schools.

WOULD THEN COME UNDER
FEDERAL CONTROL AND
RECEIVE PART PAY
NEEDED RELIEVE REGULARS
Army Officer After Inspecting
the Company Makes Public
Address in the Interests
of the Government

The Baxter company of State
Guards was inspected Tues. night by
Capt. Jos. H. Dunkel, q regular army
officer attached at present to the Of
fee of Adjutant General Huffman, Of
Kansas. The company appeared in
excellent order and was complimented
on the good work done in the short
period since the organization.
Following the inspection the Cap
tain addressed the company and 9TH
ers interested for about one hour.
The subject of his speech was the
proposition to re-organize the Baxter
company into a company of the Ma
tional Guards or the State of Kansas.
He went into detail to explain the
difference in the two, which in sub
stance is as follows:
The state guards are purely state
military organization supported by
the state and responsible only to the
state. They are not required to leave
the state or to do national duty, but
are intended to meet an emergency in
providing an armed body clothed with
the authority of the state to safeguard
the state against disturbances of any
kind.
The function of the National Guard
is much larger. The National Guard
is in reality an arm of the United
States army and is under the same
rules. The only difference is that they
are held in reserve on one-fourth re-
gular pay, required to drill regularly
and hold themselves subject to call for
regular duty at any time. The Ma
tional Guards are outftted and paid
by the federal government. The same
physical requirements are made for
entrance. The National Guard is
liable for duty anywhere in the United
States proper or in many Of the out
side colonies, but would not be re-
quired to go to foreign country. The
National Guard troops now fighting
in France in the Rainbow and Thirty
fifth divisions, re-enlisted in the Ma
tional Army.
Before the war there were about
I, 500 National Guard troops in Kan
sas, divided into three regiments OF
/ regiment of artillery
squadron of cavalry, 1 field signal
battalion, 1 battalion of engineers.
Captain Dunkel expressed the BELIEF
that in Baxter Springs and adjacent
community a company might be Oh
ganized and maintained without much
difficulty. He saw in the commanding
and non-commissioned officers, and q
good proportion Of the rank and file OF
the present company a splendid
nucleus on which to build company
Of National Guards and urged the
to get busy.
Lieut.. Cook was appointed chief re-
,ruiting officer for Baxter, his work
10 begin Wed. Under the National
Guard rules the company's total
strength is 125.
It is expected that the National
Guards of Kansas when sufficiently
equipped and drilled will be sent to
relieve regulars on the Mexican bor-
der, in Honolulu, the PHILIPPINES, Can
al Zone and elsewhere, so that the re-
zulars may be sent to different can
tonments there to form the frame
work on which will be built new di-
Visions Of the national army, to be
of men coming under the
next selective draft on September
