 Austria and Germany expected to open up the East by their Bagdad railway and pick up the Balkan wealth as they went along.

CHARGING MEN FUR
 QUESTIONABLE AID

It has been brought to the attention of the office of the adjutant general that there have been cases of charging for filling out the questionnaires of men under the selectiye draft law, the fees ranging as high as s3, which in many cases the man who had been called could raise with great difficulty. The offenders are not attorneys, but notaries public.
 It is not the intention of the govern ment that it shall cost any man any thing 10 comply with the requirements of the sclective draft law. Moreover these charges are in direct violation of the military code of this state which provides in Paragraph 4091:
 "Oaths or affirmations required in any matter connected with the military service shall be administered by any duly commissioned officer or other of ficer authorized to administer oaths under the laws of this state, and no charges shall be made for the same"
 While the law provides no penalty in the way of fine or Imprisonment for a disregard of the paragraph. the offen- der runs a risk of having his notarial commission cancelled.
