ALL VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENTS
is STOPPED BY NEW ORDER

Voluntary enlistment in the army
or navy were suspended completely
last Friday to prevent disruption Of
industry pending disposition of the
bill proposing to extend draft ages
to include all men between 18 and As
years. Orders were issued by Secre-
tries Baker and Daniels directing
that no voluntary enlistments be ac-
cepted after today until further
orders.
The order also excludes civilians
from appointment to officers train
ing camp until further notice.
The orders were issued after a
conference between Secretary Baker
and Secretary Daniels and were
made public after President Wilson
had visited the offices of both Sec
retaries. 1t is not known whether
his visit had to do with the enlist
ment situation, but just before he
conferred with the cabinet officers
there was no indication that step of
such drastic nature was anticipated.
1t was explained that the view
of the government is that many of
the older men are indispensable in
their present occupations, but the
natural result of the debate on the
draft age question is certain to lead

HOW CAN WE HELP TO
SEND MORE

By conserving nursing activities
here, and by encouraging student
nurses to go into training schools.
Every person who today employs a
trained nurse when not absolutely
needed deprives our soldiers at the
front of imperative care and is there
fore giving aid to the enemy.

COOPERATIVE DELIVERY
PLANNED

The following article from the
Shelbyville News shows a proposed
saving to the people of that city
which, we feel certain, would be well
for the merchants of Mt. Sterling
to pattern after:
"Practically all of the mercantile
firms in the city were represented at
meeting held Monday night in the
County Court room to evolve a sys-
tenn of cooperative delivery which
will release more men and equipment
for necessary war work and at the
same time materially reduce the
heavy expense which the individual
delivery system now in operation i'm
poses on the merchants. The matter
had been under consideration since
the last annual meeting of the Bust
ness Mems Association in January,
but added impetus was given to the
movement by a recent communion
ton from Eugene J. Straus of Lou
isville, the State chairman of the
Commercial Economy Committee of
the Kentucky Council Of Defense, in
which it was urged as a patriotic
duty. From reports made to the
meeting, it developed that the mer-
chants of Shelbyville, exclusive Of
coal and lumber dealers, are now us
ing for their city delivery six auto
trucks, twenty-one horse drawn We
hicles with drivers for each, and ten
or more porters, at a cost roughly
estimated at from $4,000 to $17, 200
per year, which the consumer, of
course, ultimately pays. 1t was the
concensus of opinion that the CO.
operative system would easily re-
duce the cost by 80 per cent. and
release all but few of the men so
employed for more essential occupa-
tons. The general plan proposed re-
ceived the hearty approval of all of
those present and the chairman, L. G.
Smith, appointed a committee COM
posed of r. A. Campbell, George N.
Thompson, B. A. Logan, Eugene
Cowles and Stanley Lawson to work
out the details and report to fu-
ture meeting"

stomach and nerve remedies and

ment of the efficiency of the vari-
Gus governmental agencies which
would follow the indiscriminate en-
bstment of men up to the age of As
at is the intention of the depart
ment to present to the President for
PRONUNCIATION regulations in connec-
ton with the operation of the selec-
tive system, which will make it truly
selective and leave it to the govern
ment to determine whether men can
be spared from their present Occu-
pations for military service"
Secretary Daniels, in issuing an
order to the chief of navigation and
the commandant of the marine corps
to refuse acceptance of enlistments
made this explanation:
"The large increase in enlistment
in the navy and marine corps has
made it possible to suspend further
enlistment until pending legislation
affecting the draft for the army is
disposed of. When it is resumed, it
will be in full cooperation with the
War Department under arrange
ments which will secure all the men
needed for both services"
