Soccer in Favor

FORT BLISS, Tex, March 1.--Soc- cer football is being adopted here as the one way of conditioning the re- cruits for service in the trenches in France. Soccer has been found to be an ideal sport for the enlisted men of the army, combining quickness of thought, speed in action and skill in manuevering with the best form of physical exercise in the open air. The officers are encouraging the men in training here to go in for soccer an a number of the officers act as in structors, having played the game in school or in other parts of the coun- try.
 Soccer footballs are furnished the teams by the United States and the army is taking large part of the supply of these balls for the training camps.

ADJUTANT CALLS
ON DRAFT BOARDS
TO AID GUARDS
DerOgatOry Remark viii Meet
Retaliation,

Members Of local exemption boards,
particularly clerks are giving wrong
information TO reglslrants who make
inquiry relative to the national guard
regiments which are now in course OF
formation throughout the state, accord
ing 10 complaints which have been re-
cclycd by h. Ii. GIpson, adJutant gen
cral
1t has further been called 10 the at
tention OF the adJutant general, that
men within the draft, when urged to
JOIN the guard companies have not only
refused but have made disparaging re-
marks about the organizations. Such
action, according to General Cipson, is
disloyal and IN letters being sent out
today to all local boards they are
urged by the adjutant general to in
vcstlgate such cases and to ascertain
il the rcgistrant guilty OF making such
remarks cannot be fc-Classliied and
placed in less deferred class.
Clears Up Confusion.
General Gipson points out that every
man Who cnllSts IN the guard rcgl-
mcnts automatically releases a first
line soldier who could be sent over
seas. He asserts that a citizen is rem
dcrlng Just as great service when he
becomes member OF the national
guard and releases first line soldier
as he is when he becomes a member Of
the national army
The adJutant general draws partlcu-
lar attention TO the fact that class one
men cannot he accepted for enlistment
m the guard companies Some con-
fusion has resulted over this point and
he points out that because a man Joins
the guard 1t docs not cntltlc him to
deferred classification.
Asked to Help Guards
General Gipson calls upon all local
boards in the counties wherein COM
pany Of the national guard is being
formed to cooperate with the officers
and not pcnallc the men who waive
deferred classification for the purpose
OF joining the guard, because when he
valves deferred classification in this
| case he docs not waive It IN so lar as
It applies to the national army The
adjutant general asserts that the man
does not waive the right so remain al
