B. F. Wilson and III. A. Northup:
Audubon, Iowa
Dear Sirs:
Will write you a few lines today
to let you know that we arrived at
the Georgia training camp all safe
and sound.
We had pleasant trip and wish to
thank all the goog people of Audubon
County for their kindness shown to
us and for the presents which were
given so freely. We had more than
we could eat and divided with the
Cass County boys that rode in the
same coach with our contingent.
There were men on the train from
fourteen different counties but none
that had so many cigars and good
things to eat as We had. The fact
is we probably had as much or more
things donated by our friends than
all the others together. Among the
things given us were eight boxes of
cigars, seventytwo cans smoking to-
bacco, two and half dozen pipes,
four or five boxes of candy, one box
oranges. one basket of apples, a
lunch box for each of us. liberal
amount OF chicken. pies cakes, cook
les, etc. Also the comfort kits and
the sweaters which we all appreciate
At present We are all living in the
same barrack, there are also some
Jones and Kossuth county men with
us. We were called out for drill the
next morning after We arrived here
and have been drilling more or less
ever since.
This camp is the old battle field
of Chickamauga and is dotted al
over with monuments showing where
the various brigades and companie:
were stationed during the great bat
tie. 1t is about ten miles from here
to Chattanooga, Tenn. the neares
place of any considerable size.
| Lookout Mountain is only few
miles from here also the scene of {
great battle during the CIVIL War
Again we thank you and all the peo
pie of Audubon county that were 81
good to us and we will always re
member it.
Sincerely yours.
Lawrence +. Bobenmoyer and th'
boys that went July 30.

WILL ENLIST NEXT WEEK

George Oelke. of the Oelke Com
pany, will leave for Des Moines Sun
day where he intends to enlist in
the aviation branch of Uncle Sam s
service. If he fails to get into that
branch, he will endeavor to enlist in
some other branch. George is de-
termined to get into some branch of
the service by some hook or crook,
and we may depend on his doing his
level best no matter where he will
secure a berth.
Martin Kuntzwiler has also decid-
ed to enlist and went to Des Moines
Tuesday from Atlantic where he
accompanied the eighteen boys who
were drafted into service and sent to
Jefferson Barracks, Mo. 1t is
quite likely that Martin will either
join the navy or the marines.

new DRAFT BILL IS
BEFORE'CONCRESS
EXTENSION OF AGE LIMIT IN THE
NEW DRAFT LAW TO IN
CLUDE MALE CITIZENS BE-
TWEENfS AND -.

The new administration man-pow-
er bill extending the selective service
act to all men between the ages OF
Is and As, inclusive. was introduced
Monday in both houses of congress
The measure was referred to the
military committee. Congressional
leaders plan to have it considered
this month.
In presenting the bill to the SEN
ate, Chairman Chamberlain of the
senate military committee gave as
surance that everything would be
done to expedite its passage.
Senator Curtis of Kansas and Sen
ator Jones of Washington announc-
ed themselves in favor of sumoning a
quorum of the senate so the bill can
be taken up Immediately. The sug-
gestion was approved by Senator
Chamberlain.
Senator Chamberlain also present
ed a communication from the secre-
tary of war showing the number OF
men affected by the bill. According
to these figures, 2,30S,000 men be-
tween the ages of is and 20, inclu-
sive, and 32 and As, inclusive, would
be subject to military service. OF
this number 601,O0O would be men
between 80 and As.
Chairman Dent of the house COM
mittee said that three members OF
the committee now in the city, il
was doubtful if the committee could
be called together before the house
re-assembled on August 10.
Weekly registrants of youths at
tanning the age of 81 during the next
few weeks was proposed by General
Crowder as the only means of OBJ
tanning the 100000 men to be called
to the colors in September. This
could be done by presidential pro-
clamation and would add about so
900 to the number of men available.
The principal portions of the bill
are as follows:
The president may draft such per-
sons liable to military service in
such sequence of ages and at such
times as he may prescribe; citizen
or subject of country neutral in
the present war who has declared
his intention to become a citizen of
the United States shall be relieved
from liability to military service up
on his making a declaration in ac-
cordance with regulations**a he
shall forever be debarred from be-
coming a citizen of the United States
The principal section of the pro-
vision referring to persons engaged
in industry and agriculture provid-
ing for their relief from military
duty would provide.
"All male persons between the
ages of Is and As. both inclusive,
shall be subject to registration in ac-
cordance with regulations to be pre-
scribed by the present and
it shall be the duty of all persons OF
the designated ages except officers
and enlisted men of the regular army
the navy and the national guard and
naval militia while in the service OF
the United States to submit to reg
istration.
Persons shall be subject to reg
istration as herein provided who shall
have attained their eighteenth birth
day and who shall not have at
tanned their forty-fifth birthday on
or before the day set for the registra-
ton and all persons so registered
shall be. subject to draft into the
forces hereby authorized unless ex-
empted or excused therefrom );
the president may at such intervals

COMES HOME ON FURLOUGH

G. w. Hoover received telegram
from his son Lieutenant c. l.. Hoov-
er now in Boston that he will arrive
in Audubon Saturday. Mr.. Hoover
was here two weeks ago after com
pleting his special training and he
informed his parents then that when
he received his commission he would
either be sent for overseas duty or
would be sent as an officer to some
camp in this country. The fact
that he is getting a furlough at this
time evidently means that he is be-
ing sent somewhere and Carl has
been hoping all the time that it will
be across the seas.

City Marshal May Not Be Appointed
Until New Year

The death last Sunday Of City
Marshal J. S. Tyler, leaves va
cancy in the Office of the chief of the
Augusta police department and a
question which has now risen is the
matter Of an appointment of a sue
cessor. When asked about the mat
ter yesterday morning Mayor Swift
expressed. himself as undecided. but
added that as the end OF the NUM-
cipal year was so close at hand it
was quite probable that no appoint
ment would be made until one was
ma lie by the incoming city council Of
