seas work, and came to Topeka Friday
for the final interview that determines
acceptance or rejection.
The personnel committee held its
regular all-day session Friday, accept
ing eight men for foreign service, and
two for home service. The new rul-
ings of the government, extending the
age of military service. reduces the
number of men available for the Y.
M. c. A. but the government, realiz-
ing the importance of the association
in connection with the army. has ar
ranged to give it as much latitude as
possible in its choice of especially well
qualified men.
Ralph A. Woodford, of Burlington,
who is engaged in the real estate and
loan business, and the Rev. Guy Eu-
gene Spear, a Methodist minister of
Abbeyvflle, have been accepted for the
home service department.
The men who have been accepted
for foreign service are: C. T. Griffith,
of Norton, a real estate and insurance
man: HING. Small. of Independence,
superintendent of the Kansas Natural
Gas Co.; Cyrus e. White. of Salina,

CLOSE up STATION
Naval Recruiting To Be Dis
continued in Topeka.
Only Limited Number of Vol
uatary Inductions Allowed.

The black clouds of gloom have set
tied down on more than two hundred
Topeka young men who. during the
last few weeks, have been nourishing
visions of navy life. And it's all
caused by the long expected orders
which were received this morning by
cruiting station. This. order, which
comes from Kansas City, directs Ship
filter Hierholzer to close his sub
station before October z. explaining
that there will be no more enlfstments
or enrollments unless directed by the
secretary of the navy.
The order goes on to explain that in
the future the navy will receive 1 900
men each month thru the draft, of
which $500 may apply for voluntary
induction. But the gloom is occa-
stoned by the statement that these
$500 must be officer material. In
other words, the only way to get into
the navy as a mechanic or ordinary
seaman is to take your chance on be-
ing chosen for that branch of the ser
vice when you are drafted. On this
man stands about one chance in fif-
teen. provided he is qualified for ma
val service.
Must Be Officer Material.
According to the message received
today. If a man is found to be qualified
as officer material, after he has ap-
piled at the mobilization depot. which
has not yet been decided upon. paying
his own fare both ways, the officer in
charge makes request of the provost
marshal general to induct the man
into the service. His local board will
then be notified and will issue the nee
essary papers. whereupon the man
will be sent to the nearest mobi1iza-
ton depot for completion of induction.
Only $500 men a month will have
this privilege The remaining $500
will have to take their chances on the
draft It Is probable that more ex-
plicit information concerning the new
move will be received by the draft
boards in the near future.
Shipfitter Hierholzer has announced
that he will close the station at once
and report to Kansas City. Where
he will be sent from there he has no
means of knowing, but hopes that he
may be sent to sea.

HERE'S ONE ON
GUS TEGLER; HE
w AS ASTONISHED

Gus Tegeler, 544 Thirtieth street,
had most peculiar experience on
train Saturday on the Illinois
Central road between Sioux CITY
and Waterloo, Iowa
A discussion on the war was be-
ing carried on by several travellers
in the smoker of the Pullman car
IN which Mr.. Tegeler was riding.
After he had expressed himself
freely condemning the kaiser and
the German form of government.
the talk ran TO the economic con
diuons existing in the enemy S
country.
Mr. Tegeler spoke of what he had
heard was the economic system in
Berlin and other cities before the
war and mentioned the freedom
from graft in the cities of Ger
many and Of the general efficiency
system, but said nothing that would
cause anyone to think he was sym
pathtZing with the German govern
ment.
A surprise awaited Mr.. Tegeler
1 J.
lie was detained by the sheriff on
alighting from the Pullman on in
formation that had already been
telegraphed ahead by someone.
Amazed that anyone should think
that he was not 100 per cent Amer
lean, he requested that anyone in
Rock Island be communicated with
and that his loyalty status be de-
termined without delay The sheriff
at Waterloo communicated with
Sheriff George H. Richmond of
Rock Island and on the receipt Of
his prompt reply Mr.. TegeIer was
Immediately released.
The incident should be a warn
ing to all people who travel and
should guard against making any
comment on Germany which might
be heard by others who might mis-
understand, as Mr.. Tegeler was
misunderstood.
MT. Tageler is known in Rock
Island for his undivided loyalty to
the United States and his true
Americanism. Born in England,
his patriotism has been clearly evil
dent in all the 40 years he has re-
sided in Rock Island He is a mem
Der of the National Security league
and had been active in all war
measures.
