WHY CHART LACKED DETAIL
Wife Found II Simply impossible to
Put Down All the Remarks
Hubby Had Made.

A physician needed nurses medt-
sal chart, but had none at hand. The
mans wife was nursing him, SO he
drew lines on sheet of paper TO rep
resent chart. He instructed the wife
how to ill 1t out and left.
Next day the physician called, looked
ut the chart and was puzzled to find
so many remarks registered, far re-
moved from things medieal--remarks
most irrelevant, In fact. He asked an
explanation from the wife-and he got
it! Wifey motioned the physician to
follow her into the adjoining room,
whispering to him that she did not
wish husband to hear the apology she
must make for him.
You see, doctor, | couldn't put down
all the remarks he made, even If you
did want to know them. I'm awfully

DRAFTEES MAY JOIN
 NAVY OR !. $. MARINES
Voluntary Induction Into Either Branch Allowed
 By Gen. Crowder.

Washington, Sept. IS. - Provost Marshall. General Crowder today an nounced orders to local draft foardS which will pemit the voluntary induc- ton of draft registrants into the navy and marine corps and provide for drafts of men to be assigned to those services if voluntary inductions do not suffice to fill the demands.
 Calls for men for the navy will go out before the end of this month and and marine corps cantingents vii be called within a few weeks.
 The order quoting sections of the man power law which make the term military service include the navy and marine corps, announces that separate calls hereafter will be issued to se- sure men for all divisions of the ser vice. State quotas will be tllotted to make the marine and naval require ments.
 After a call has been issued, marine and navy recuiting officers may ask for the voluntary induction of men to fill the, call If the total is not se cured by that method the boards will order sufficent men forward to make up the quota. The men will be mob ilized and transported in the same manner as are those of the National army.
 Men responding either to the in duction or call method will be counted upon the states quotos as having been furished for the na- tiOn's military needs.
 Physical qualifications are slightly higher for naval needs, and the order directs that local boards shall select no man for the navy who cannot use fully the English language and who has not a complete status as citizen of the Unted States
 Special calls for men having tech ncal or educational qualifications for the navy also will be issued from time to time. These will be filled by local boards in the same manner as army calls have been filled with pro- vision for voluntary induction.

Aim of Macedonian Drive.

Washington, Sept. 18.-The object of the movement on the Macedonian front is to cut off Turkey from the other Central Powers, to crush Bull garia and to free Serbia, Rumania and the Jugoslavs of southern Aus tria.
 The Serbs are f1ghtig for the res toration of their native land. The Bulgarians already are having trou- ble among themselves and with Ger many, Turkey and Austria. In some quarters it is believed they may de- sert their allies and sue for separate peace, trying to save as much of their acquired territory as they can.
 The Bulgarians have killed many thousands of Serbs apfd Rumanians, but the forces of theaEntente are as sured of the ardent support of the people who have survived the mas sacres. Moreover, the Jugoslavs in southern Austria are only waiting an opportunity to join the Allies and free their homes from the yoke of Austria.

ARMY APPROVES REPLY 10 PEACE PROPOSAL
Fighters Convinced Note Was Sent By Austria
 In Bad Faith.

With the American Army in France Sept. 1S.--(By the Associated Press.) The American army received the news of President Wilson's reply to Austria-Hungary' peace note with grim approval.
 Officers and men alike expressed the belief that none of the Allied governments, certainly not theirs, would yield to what they regard as a trick of the Central Powers to gain time. They want Germany to be de- feated.
 The Austrian prisoners in the Americans hands continue to insist that the peace offer was not a trick of Germanys but that it should be attributed solely to Austria's deter imitation to get out what her people regard as a bad bargain.
 Whatever the motive behind the enemy move, there is no doubt that the American soldier would be disap- pointed if peace were made at pres sent unless it were gased virtually on unconditional surrender.
