The classification of the men is pro-

Camp Doniphan is an undesirable

his statement, which says:
This is a most undesirable place
for an army camp. The physical con-
dition of the land is excellent. We
have level and rolling stretches OF
land and also mountains, but the eli
mate is fierce. One day it will be

MORE ORDERS FOR KANSAS
DRAFT BOARDS-NEW RULES

Kansas county army draft boards
were yesterday ordered to resume ex-
aminations of all draft registrants
in class one under the new physical
regulations issued last week. The
new rules were sent to all boards last
Friday and members were given un-
til Yesterday to thoroly familiarize
themselves with the changes. In
letter sent out by the adjutant gen
erals office yesterday the boards
we're instructed to reexamine all reg
istrants held for limited service un-
der the old regulations Boards may
also recall any registrants who they
believe will pass the examination un-
der the new rules Men held for
service or men who have been re-
iected for physical reasons which
are obvious, need not be re-examin-
ed. Local boards sending men to
medical advisory boards are resuest-
ed to arrange with the medical ad-
visory boards the most suitable date
upon which they can examine the
registrants. When the date has been
arranged, the registrants should be
sent in a body. In this manner one
transportation request will suffice for
the entire group. The local board
is wondering when the last order will
be received.

derailed and wrecked near Beloit,

NEW GRAVEL ROAD WOULD
PASS THRU ABILENE

A gravel road is being planned to
connect Salina and FIT. Riley. 1t
would pass thru Abilene.
"A good hard road between Sa-
lima and Junction City would be a
mighty fine thing for the tourists
who cross Kansas every year, and 1t
would be an improvement that the
people of this part of the state would
be very proud Of" said Frank Hage-
man of Salina, while discussing
the good roads proposition. But
the benefit it would give the tourists
and the pride we would take in the
good road are mere secondary con-
siderations. The road should be i'm
proved because it would advance the
value of every foot of ground along
the road and it would also be of vast
benefit to Salina, as we'll as Abilene
and other towns by making the bust
ness houses, and especially the
wholesale houses, absolutely indie
pendent of the railroads. Trucks
could make the trip to Junction City
regardless of the weather conditions
and the conditions of the roads. This
city furnishes a great amount Of food
stuffs for Junction City, Fort Riley
and Camp Funston and often delays
are caused in the delivery of the
goods because of the congested con-
dition of the railroads and for other
