THE NEXT QUOTA TO GO SOUTH

Iowa national army soldiers at Camp
Dodge are not scheduled to go to
France in the immediate future. This
became known when the war depart
ment announced a list Of replacement
camps to which the drafted men order
ed to the colors in the June and July
calls will be sent.
Seven camps in the south and south
west which have been vacated, or are
about to be vacated, have been desig-
mated as training and replacement
camps No decision was made as to
the disposition to be made Of Camp
Dodge when the division now training
there is sent overseas because, it was
explained, no orders to move the
division may be expected for some
time.
Go to Other Camps.
Iowa drafted men called out in the
June and July calls probably will be
sent hundreds of miles away from their
homes to the replacement camps just
designated. Men selected for infantry
regiments will be sent to replacement
camps at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga. !;
Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va, and camp
Pike, Little Rock, Ark.
Field artillerymen will be sent to
Camp Jackson, Columbia, s. c.; Camp
Taylor, Louisville, Ky; Camp Doni-
phan, Fort Sill, Okla, and Camp Nc
Clellan, Admission, Ala.
Dodge to Refill Later.
Other replacement camps nearer
Iowa may be designated before the
draft contingents of the late summer
months are called to the colors. 1t is
not probable that Camp lodge will be
used as replacement canap when the
division now there is Sent across.
There is no plan at present to organize
new divisions. Future draft contin-

care of battle wastage. Eventually it
is believed it will>be necessary to or
ganize new divisions, but the draft
calls now in prospect provide only
enough men to keep present divisions
full.
AS the war progresses, the divisions
in France will tend more and more to
lose their identity as state units. Re-
placement troops sent to fill gaps in
the ranks will be sent from replace
ment camps which will draw their
strength from the four corners of the
country. Before the war ends the Iowa
national guard regiments and the Iowa
national army regiments will very like

An Inch and Sixty.fve Hundredths
Falls in an Hour and a Half,
Almost a Cloud Burst In
City. HI
SEWER BACKS INTO EASEMENTS.
Wires Down Everywhere and Con.
siderable Damage Done at
Places Over City.

A torrent of rain, almost cloud
burst, fell in Webster City this
morning between 1890 and IL o'clock.
During that hour and a half the re-
cords at the c. D. Carpenter home
show that 1865 inches of rain came
down.
Sewer Backs Up.
The big sewer in the business dis
trict of the city backed up and almost
all the Easements have several inches
to foot and more of water in them.
In many of them considerable dam
age was done to goods stored.
Telephone, telegraph and city wires
are down everywhere. Both the
Duncombe and Woodstock electric
lines are down and a section of the
roof at the power plant in this city
blown off.
Trees all over the city were also
blown down and much damage done
by the wind.
Water in Waves.
Probably more water fell in given
length Of time this morning than has
fallen hereabouts in good many
years. The water fairly came down
in waves for half an hour. The river
and creeks hereabouts went up and
in places are out of the banks again.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Waizennegger,
who returned home from Waterloo
this noon, say the storm was SO bad
that the train was stopped three times
because the engineer was unable to
see ahead. The track is very soft in
places and trains are moving slowly.

ATLANTA SCHOOL BOY MAKES
HIGH RECORD IN SALE
OF STAMPS

Atlanta, Ga, May e. If one thou
sand men in Georgia had done as
much promoting the sale of War War
Savings Stamps as Harry Fennel, an
Atlanta school boy, has done since
January LIST, the total sales in this
state at this time would be more than
$25,OOO,OOO, and Georgia would be be
far ahead of all other states in this
important war work that none of them
would ever overtake her.
This remarkable young boy has
sold the enormous sum of $25,644. 80
worth of War Saving Stamps since
the beginning of the year, and ex-
poets to carry his record to $4,000 by
the end of December. AS he has more
than half the year still ahead of him,
and intends to devote practically his
entire time to the work in vacation,
it would seem that he has more than
a reasonable expectation of reaching
his goal
The truth is that Georgia's sales of
War Saving Stamps are in a bad hole,
and the same thing is true pretty
much all over the country. Georgia
stands 46 in the list of states in total
sales to May /. The w. S. S. cam
paign in Georgia, as elsewhere, has
been handicapped by the great enthu-
siasm aroused in behalf of the Red
Cross, the Liberty Loan and other
movements. In only two or three
states where fortunately the movemen
was placed in charge of aggressive
state directors who shouldered their
way to an early start has the CAM
paign made the progress it should
have made.
Under the direction of President
Wilson and Secretary McAdoo tre-
mendous effort is now being organic
ed throughout the country to pull the
w. S. S. movement out of the hole
with nationwide mass meeting at
2 o'clock on the afternoon of June %.
President Wilson will set aside the
day by proclamation. and the govern
ors OF the states will do likewise. Six
thousand of these mass meetings will
be held in Georgia on the same day
and at the same hour. The people
will meet in their respective school
houses, here and in all other states,
and will sign pledges for the pur-
chase Of War Saving Stamps in regu-
lar instruments for the balance of the
year in sufficient amount to reach the
nations goal of $2,00O,0OO,OOO. Geor-
gia's quota is $50, 100000.
