ALL AMERICANS
GIVEN CAREFUL.
EXAMINATIONS
When Men Leave this Coun-
try they are Subjected to
More Rigid Tests.

With the American Army in Eng
land, July E20.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press.)-When a SOL
der leaves the United States he
should not feel certain he is going to
win glory on the battlefield in France.
Whether officer or enlisted man he is
subjected to further scrutiny in Eng
land and in France and until a little
corps Of keen eyed and careful Off
GERS have completed the examination
no n can tell into just what part OF
the big army machine he is going to
fit.
There are in England camps where
every man who passes through is
trade indexed." This is especially true
of one camp where a large part Of the
airmen and motor transport forces
records accompanying them show
what the men have been doing in civil
life and a further examination Of
them and a scrutiny of the demands
often determine the part they are to
take, sometimes only for temporary
duty but in some for an indeh-
mite period.
From this lot are selected the men
who will go into the big repair shops
at once. Men experienced in electrical
work are sent to stations where their
service is most needed. Orders for
automobile experts are filed and not
infrequently the men in command Of
the station are called upon to supply
men for following, for a time at. least,
exactly the same kind of work they
were doing in the United States before
their numbers in the draft were call
ed.
A big hospital is being erected at
one camp. The money for the ma
terial was furnished by the Red Cross.
The work is being done by the army.
The construction of the buildings is
not materially different from that of
wal hospitals being erected in he
United States, and the same class of.
skilled labor is being used. Experts in
the use of cement are working there.
Plumbers are doing the same sort Of
work they were paid to do in the Unit
ed states, carpenters are employed in
doing as high grade labor as could he
round anywhere. n the drawing of
the plans and specifications was done
by architects and engineers. All the
men whose work is going into the
building have been taken from the
rank and file Of those who reached
lamp on their way from the ports OF
repatriation. They will be held there
only 50 long as their work on the
structure is required and then they
will rejoin their Organization uniass
detailed for other work.
Officers engaged in fixing tha fro IL
index OF the army have boasted that
from the ranks of the national army
there may be sfound men who can do
any class OF work required, from
grinding a diamond to working on tha
|rlf1tng OF a big gun.

FORMER CONVICT
BECS TO GET
INTO SERVICE
Released from Prison Be-
cause of Good Behavior and
Wants to Fight Huns.

Camp Lewis Tacoma, Wash, Aug.
s.-"The best little fighter in this
country" wants to fight but the fact
that he once was convicted Of forgery
and served three years of a 10-year
sentence in a state peniteitnary oper-
ates against him, the selective service
act putting felons in Glass S.
Col. E. N. Jones. camp commander,
received a letter from the man today.
Dear Sir: I wan to get "a little in
formation from vol whether a man
who has been convicted Of a felony is
liable to be taken into service pro-
viding he is of draft age.
Now l was convicted of forgery in
-- ins7914 and I was sent to the
" state prison for 10 years but 1
was released out of prison on good be-
havior after being there three years.
! am t~wenty-four years old and I
have been out of prison for over 10
that if l could go to the army it would
help to square my past record.
I'm not a bad fellow. and you'll
admit that there is such a thing as a
mistake. I'm in Glass 5 Of the draft
but being q man I think it is my duty
to help Old Glory to knock the 'er''
out of Kaiser.
what KIND OF men do you want in
n army, do you want a man who
would be afraid>to go over the top or
would o rather go over the top with
a man that has neve or in other
words, a who is game to the fin.
ish
Twenty-Five years from now I
wouldn't like people to ask me if I
helped to make this world a decent
place to live in, because 1 would have
to say no.
Il wan to square myself and my
chance has come providing 1 can
shoulder a CUR and be sent to France
right away.
There is one thing / would like to
have you do and that is to help me
get in the U. S. army, as the best lit
tie fghter" in this country is writing

If I am not accepted then 1 would
like to join the French or any nation
on the side Of the Allies. Hoping that
you will do h best you can for me l

ARE THESE MEN LIARS?

The Nonpartisan league management is
autocratto! This condition not only obtains in
the administrative management but in it's polit-
ical guidance as we'll 1t is all very well to tell
the people that its candidates are selected by
pure democracy. We know that they are not.
Both members and workers are under a despot-
ism that cannot survive. The league is like an
inverted pyramid. All it's weight is at the top.
This condition must be changed and the move.
ment must be placed upon a firm basis or it will
toter into oblivion. 1t is absurd to suppose that
any sound, constructive movement can perman-
emily be built upon such a false and anomalous u.
foundation.
