Many Marion County Men Al

Hundreds of Kansans with flimsy
dependency, agricultural and indus

new Redistribution order as inter-
preted by draft officials. will mean
that many men who presented glitter
ing and apparently gilt-edge affi-
davits concerning home responsible
ties, will shoulder musket. Under
the new government regulation, every
mans classification is subject to re-
view and may be investigated before
the end of the summer.
Scores of instances have been pre-
scented to the district board concerning
agricultural claims by young men
who inherited tracts of land, but have
not aided in the production of crops
until confronted with induction in the
national army. Some estimates today
placed the number of men to be in

classification at 10000 to $4,000 for

granted deferred classifications when
a close investigation of their individual
cases showed they were farming the
same. tract of land. Yet each man
within the draft age took full credit
for operating the entire farm.
Brothers Work Together.
In a number of instances two and
three brothers received deferred
tract of land. Then deferment was
sought for a few farm hands. Some
of these men will go to the training
camps before the end of the summer.
A number of young men with de-
tendency claims which fail to hold
water in a test, will soon start to the
war. Their questionnaires and affi-
davits showed. however, that they
were needed at home.
Men are now investigating individ-
ual cases in a number of counties in
Kansas. The district boards have also
asked for additional evidence concern
ing number of young men placed in
deferred classes. On the other hand
failure to properly present their cases
caused young men to lose deferred
classes and to be placed in class Ia
Work Begins Next Week.
In the majority of Kansas counties
work of reclassifying registrants will
begin next week. A searching inves-

of thousands of registrants. Many
men with dependents will be indicted
on showing that older relatives not
within the draft age may look after
home responsibilities. Reclassifica-

AMERICAN FOOD BEST

Says Noted Physician.

Chicago, Jure 12.-America's SOL
diers are the best fed fighting men in
the world, the convention of the
American Medical association was
told by DR.. John r. Murlin. adviser
to the war department on matters of
diet. Doctor Murlin's statement was
based on scientific analysis of the
foods served the various armies. He
believes that much of the energy dis
played by the Americans is due to
the food they get.
The American ration has a food
value of 1852 calories the British

Italian also 1851.

needed.

Patrol Vessels Battle With Sub
marine Raiders Here.
Washington Keeping Result Sc
cret Until Facts known.
ONE HYDROPLANE IS FOOLED
Dropped Depth Bombs on Sup
posed Undersea Craft.
And 1t Developed That "Raid'
er" Was Only a Whale.

Washington, June IAN American
coast patrol vessel has had one battle
from a German U-boat raider
From an unquestionable source to-
day came this fact. together with the
fact that the navy has had a mass of
reports from patrol commanders. None
of these has been made public.
Secretary Daniels has taken the po-
sition that only absolutely authent1-
Gated cases of sinking or capture will
be announced.
But the United Press is in position
to announce that one of the many
reports indicates beyond a doubt that
a patrol vessel fired on a submarine
and dropped depth bombs about her.
The effect can only be conjectured.
A second case, rot quite so clear
cut yet believed by some officials to
be authentic. is also on record.
Neither of the above mentioned in
cidents includes the case in which a
United States destroyer interrupted a
U-boat in its attempt to sink the
RadioIeine.
Kept Incidents a Secret.
Both the cases cited occurred since
then but have been kept secret up to
today.
Many naval district reports have
come in since the raiders first ap-
peareQ nut the navy has pe1siSleilliy
denied that it had information con-
corning the submarine situation other
than what it announced.
This was illustrated a few days ago
when the department had news of the
Vinland sinking all day, denied it and
only announced the sinking at night
after the crew had landed.
Among the strange occurrences not
ed by the patrol reports was that OF
hydroplane which dropped depth
bombs on a supposed submarine. (Sub-
marines can be seen a considerable
distance below the water by a hydro
plane.)
Later, however, it developed that the
supposed U-boat target was whale.

south, and the heights between Cour-
celles and Mortemer, were retaken by
the French.
Heavy Losses.
The Germans battled stubbornly
and suffered heavy losses. The
French took 1000 prisoners and sew

place around Chevrincourt and An

Berlin, in its statement Of Tuesday

crops in Kansas this week, the bulle-
tin of the local office of the United
States weather bureau announces.
Temperatures were above normal al
most continually and reached LOO de-
grees and higher in many parts the
last day. Only light to moderate
showers fell, except in few scattered
localities. principally in the south
west, where the weekly totals exceed
ed an inch, but they were sufficient
for present needs, except in a few
eastern counties, where the soil that
is not well cultivated is getting hard.
Wheat is filling well and maturing
under ideal weather conditions. Har-
vest has begun in the southeast part
of the state and in another two
weeks will be under way to the Me-
braska line in the extreme eastern
counties and in the great wheat-pro-
ducing counties in the central part of
the state. In the northcentral coun-
ties 1t is in full bloom and in the ex-
treme northwest is heading, with in

Corn Improving, but Late.
Corn has made a better growth than
in any previous week, but is still

rule the first cultivation has been fin

of grass and weeds. In the southeast
ern counties this crop is from 6 inches

from A to IA inches. In the western
part of the state much replanting is
being done. due to poor terminating

and that the delegates in Topeka at
tending the convention were here to
attend the convention and not to shop
or have a good time. Delegates are
unanimous in thinking that the pres
ent convention, or school, of home
service workers will be of the greatest
help in carrying out the work assigned
to the home service in the various
local districts.
Tact in Handling Work.
At the session this morning, Miss
Florence Wood made the principal
talk. She went deeply into the sub
ject of family problems telling of the
various things that come up to worry
the family of a man at the war.
Miss Wood said that the home SER
vice section can be either efficient
and unobtrusive in it's effort to
strSighten out domestic difficulties for
the dependents of the nations fighting
men or it can be prying and blatant
and soon come into disrepute in that
particular community. She urged all
home service workers to use the ut
most tact and consideration when in
vestigating a case.
Mrs. Skinner on Program.
Mrs. Stephen Skinner. Wichita.
made the other talk at the meeting
this morning. She spoke on the work
in the American Red Cross training
institutes where home service work
ers are trained under actual condi-
tons. Mrs. Skinner told of the COM
pleteness of the course and urged that
every home service worker who could
possibly make arrangements to take
the course enroll at once.
After the speeches this morning
the convention resolved itself into a
school for the study of special phases
of the work.
