NEW ORDER GIVES
CHANCE TO YOUNG
MEN FOR MARINES

A telegram received by Rock Is
land marine recruiters today from
headquarters at Chicago states that
young men who have reached the
age Of IS since the registration
Sept. 10, are now eligible for en-
listment in the marine corps.
These men can now be accepted as
has been the practice with all men
between the ages of IS and 40 in
the past.
However, none will be accepted
unless they prove to be exception
ally desirable physically and ment-
ally. In all cases they must have
certificates or affidavits signed by
their parents and witnessed by a
notary public.
Lieutenant G. c. Wright, officer
of this district, was here yester-
day to inspect the local station.
He was well satisfied with the
work being done.
The marine situation also opens
tomorrow to all men between the
ages of IS and 40, who can be given
preliminary examinations pending
the receiving of orders for enlist
ment. There are approximately
two hundred applicants on the To-
cal recruiters list at present,
awaiting examination.
The sergeants at the local sta
ton have already made 100 per
cent on the fourth Liberty loan.

COUNCIL HEADS
ARE NOT PAVED
Deny Erroneous Statements re-
garding Salaries of Those ~High-
er Up" In Defense Body.

The state council of defense has
recently learned that some on its
workers in various parts OF the
state are under the misapprehen-
sion that the men at the top" OF
the organization are being paid for
their services. Some slight re-
sentiment has resulted from this
erroneous belief, when added work
has been asked of the unpaid men
and women in the outlying coun-
ties.
No member of the state council OF
defense receives a cent for ser
vices. Many of them are spending
as much as eight hours a day at
their desks in the state council
building, running their own bust
ness enterprises ION the side to
the detriment of these enterprises.
Heads of departments are also
volunteer workers. The only per
sons who are paid are the assist
ants, stenographers and office boys
or rather office girls, and many OF
these even. are volunteers. The
state council is working in a build
ing in the heart of Chicago's bust
ness district that is furnished rent,
light, heat and service free.

Augustana's Prospects for Football
Squad Brighter Than First
Expected BY Heads.

with the opening today of the
students army training corps at
Augustana college, and subsequent
enrolment of additional students,
expectations are that the football
squad will be materially increased
Daily, from fifteen to twenty pro-
spectiye candidates are reporting
for rehearsal, and though the work
has not yet been attacked in dead
earnest. the squad is giving every
evidence of development. Victor
Lift. member of last years cham
pionship Rock Island independents
eleven, has been engaged to direct
the athletic activity.
Today control of the grid sport
passed out of the hands of the col
lege authorities, and into the hands
of the war department. From now
on all rules and regulations will be
drafted and executed by the gov
eminent. Trips necessitating the
teams absence for more than a day
have been banned 1t is the gen
eraI opinion that the period allotted
for daily practice will be consid-
erabIy limited. Officials are at
work arranging a schedule of
games for the Augies, which will
be subject to approval by the mill
tary authorities.
Football should thrive at the
Lutheran college this year. Lieu
tenant William J. Smith, command
ing officer of the military unit, has
declared himself as favorable to-
ward the sport, and school authori-
ties have also aligned themselves
to support the eleven.
An abundance of promising ma
terial has blossomed forth at the
campus each afternoon for more
than a week, and daily additional
aspirants for varsity berths have
reported. More were registered to-
day. Freshmen appear to have &C
duired numerical domination, and
since the ancient rule prohibiting
the play of a first yearling has
been abrOgated, numerous Of the
infant classmen should make stong
bids for regular jobs.
