LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL
An Opportunity for Men Who
May Be Called

eighteen and fortyfive years in which special training is being given
in order that they may be in position to render more efficient service
in the event they volunteer or are drafted; Enrolling in these classes
does not mean that any man is to be singled out and drafted because
of his Identification with government work. 1t does mean, however,
that he will in all probability be permitted to remain in school until
he has volunteered or been drafted just as he would have been had
he had no connection with government work.
The Kansas City Polytechnic Institute has enrolled white mel in
it's various branches of engineering and in all cases they have been.
able to get preferred classification. Lincoln High School wants to
help our Colored men.
What does this special training mean to the recipient? 1t means
this: you have specialized in some line of work that will be Of value
to the government and will therefore be preferred to those whose
talents r. not developed in any particular capacity. When a certain
degree of efficiency has been reached cards will be issued showing
what has been accomplished. If you volunteer or if you are drafted
in the service your worth to the government is greater if you are
trained than it could be otherwise. All special work begun in school
is continued when the camp has been reached.
All men between the ages of eighteen and fortyfive years who are
interested and would enroll in any of the following branches: RADIO
ENGINEERING, AUTO MECHANICS, OPERATING OF MOTOR We
HICLES. DRAFTING AND AEROPLANE CARPENTRY, will signify
their intention to do sc by communicating with the Principal of Lin
coin High School or w. T. White, Department of Vocational Educa-
ton, Lincoln High School, 10Th Street and Tracy Avenue, Kansas City,
Missouri. If it is not convenient to call III person, call Mr.. White over
Bell telephone, Grand 3469, between the hours of 6 and 8 P. NJ.
Kindly give address and telephone number when communicating
There should be II delay in so important a matter.

In loving memory to our dear moth
er, Mrs. Susan A. Thomas, who de-
parted this life August 25, 1917:
Home at rest, so sweetly sleeping,
Where there is no pain or weeping,
None on earth can harm you there.
Do not ask us if we miss her,
Oh there is such a vacant place;
Oft we think we hear her footsteps
And we see her smiling face.

CHANCE TO WED AMERICANS.
English Waacs to Work Among U. s
Troops in France.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The Star sees
great matrimonial prospects for English
girls in the announcement that 5000
girls and women are wanted to join the
new Pals Battalion of the w. A. A.
G. s now being recruited for service
with the American expeditionary force
in France. These girls, who must be
over 20, are to take the places of their
American sisters who cannot be brought
over for this work at present because
of the lack of accommodation on ships,
which is needed for the transportation
of troops.
Miss Hilda Horniblow has been APP
pointed chief controller of the Waacs,
which is the colloqual term applied to
Queen Mary S Army Auxiliary corps,
who will be attached to the American
army in France. The women S "Pals
Battalion has been planned on lines
similar to the "Pals Corps of men
who joined the service with the under
standing that they should work togeth-

contains quite a number of millionaires,

have luxurious and comfortable homes

and it has been said that the aim of
every girl it to get happily married, the
5000 recruits wanted for the Pals Bat
talon should be very soon found
Owing to the transport restrictions
it has been found impossible to bring
| over American women for this service,
so the American authorities have ap-
| pealed to Queen Mary's Army Auxil-
larry Corps-better known as the W. A.
A. G., a title which they will never lose
with the vast majority of the British

lish women, A Star representative was
informed that at present the demand Ia
confined TO clerks, and for this reason
well educated women and girls from
colleges and public and secondary
schools are especially appealed to to
come forward.
1.-THE idea of the Pals Battalion Is ia
keep friends together Many girls who
have been brought up in good homes
and have seen little of the world would
hesitate before taking a journey to
France alone, and 1t has therefore been
arranged in order to attract these girls
that friends shall as far as possible
be drafted together.

STRATTON FIRST IN
WOMEN'S CAMPAIGN
Three Liberty Bonds Already Pledged
There Although Loan Is Not to
Be Launched Until 28th.

Stratton, a little town in Windham
county. and incidentally one of the most
sparsely populated towns in the state,
has taken the honor of making the first
report of work by the Woman's Liberty
Loan committee.
Although the loan is not to be launched
until September % Mrs. Ray f. Lyman,
chairman of the woman's committee for
that town. already has made a report
to Mrs viii b. Smith of Brattleboro,
county chairman, that she has three
bonds pledged. Mrs. Smith, in turn,
has made the report to the state chair
man, Mrs. Edward Curtis Smith of st.
Adams, who has advised that this is the
first report to be received by her.
If the larger towns in the county
should get their machinery for the
Fighting Fourth" into action as effee-
lively as has been done in Stratton it
would not be difficult task to meet
theirsquotas and receive their honor flags
at an early date after the campaign is
opened and Windham county would have
the distinction of having the largest per
cent of over subscriptions of any coun-
ty in the state.
