Regulations of tho War Department
on the Training Of Youth Over
Eighteen for Special
Service.
KEoKUK Is INTERESTED
Young Men May be Sent to College as
Soldiers with the Pay Of Pri-
Yates and Chance for
Commissions.

A number Of Keokuk youths are
interested in the new plan Of the
government to enlist men over
eighteen to serve as students in col
lege training schools next winter.
Extension of this privilege to stu
dents over eighteen who have COM
pleted only the eighth grade In
school, and making high school work
unnecessary, is now announced from
Washington.
The new draft registration will
come early in September. Students
can, after that, enroll in colleges
with the expectation that they will
be offered the opportunity of volun-
tary induction into the college army
about the first of October. The pro-
fessor Of military tactics at each in
stitution probably will have charge
of inducing the men.
Are Given Special Training.
Those who have had grammar
school education, but no more, will
ordinarily enter special training de-
tachments to be trained along mo-
chanical lines of military value.
These detachments will become a
part of the student army training
corps, anu young Iueu WHO pIo'S IL
the course of their mechanical train
ing that they are officer material
may be transferred to unit in one
of the colleges to be prepared to en-
ter a central officers training camp.
Young men who have had at least
high school education will be al
lowed to enter college for more ad-
vanced training as officers and tech
nical experts of various kinds, ac-
cording to their experience and abili-
ties.
Students Receive Privates' Pay.
Arrangements will be made for
transferring. from the depot brigades
to units OF the student army training
corps men whose ratings in the can
tonments indicate them to be officer
material, but not yet ready to enter
central officer training camps
Students entered in the college
service under these newly announced
plans will be in active service and
will receive the pay allotted to a
private soldier.
Further announcements in regard
to government assistance will come
from Washington soon.

denburg has been unable to with
stand Marshal Foch's pressure along
the whole of the tightly held German
front any longer, and has been torceo
to make another partial retirement
on his way back to the Belgian from
| tier.
The retreat toward the Somme re-
ported today is the result OF Won
Hindenburg's urgent necessity for
creating new reserve force to meet
Americas Forthcoming major OMEN.
sive There will be many more OF
these retirements conducted In the
same manner, until Won Htndenburg
has succeeded in considerably short
ening his line and has accumulated
from 1000 to 5000 men for every mile
eliminated from the west front.
The next halt of the Germans will
probably be the east bank OF the
Somme, but their stay there will be
comparatively short They are bound
now for the old Hindenburg line, and
there is no room for doubt but that
this too, will prove to be but a tenn
porary resting place. The German
general staff will have no rest In Its
plans for retreat until the German
army has backed out of western
France and is clinging to the Meuse
as its final stand before being swept
wholly into German territory. To
days rearward movement is develop
ing a serious salient in the German
front which has specially threaten
ing aspect because Of Field Marshal
Haigs relentless attacks north Of the
Somme.
The German counter attacks
against the British are being deyel-
oped with unsual ferocity because OF
this fact. The retreat before the
French armies can not be conducted
simultaneously with. a successful re-
treat further north because the mile
age is far more extensive than Won
Hindenburg can handle for single
operation Therefore German reserves
are clinging desperately to the north
ern sector of the front as the only
way of avoiding disaster.

RASCOLOSES
GOOD CITIZEN
James Anderson Died at Age Of Fifty
nine Years After Being
III for Fifteen
Weeks.

BASCO, ILL.,, Aug. 2s.-James An
derson, son Of William and Anna An
derson, was born in Ohio, Aug. 4,
1859, and came to Hancock county,
Illinois, in early childhood with his
parents. They landed at Warsaw, and
since he has made various points OF
southwestern Hancock his home.
February 20, 1890. he was united in
marriage to Miss Cornelia Major at
West Point, ILL., To this union were
born seven children. Two OF these.
Irving and Julai, together with the
faithful wife, have passed to the
Great Beyond. The children being
called home several years before
| their mother.
| After the mother was laid away in
August of 1907, Mr.. Anderson kept his
/ children together, making home as
pleasant as it was in his power to
do in order that it would not become
necessary to separate them. He is
survived by his five children, Hugh,
somewhere in his country's service,
| Alice, Cornelia, Alma, and Mrs
| Arthur vradenburg and husband, all
at home, and by two grandsons, Ray
mond and Larence Vradenburg. Be-
sides these, he leaves to mourn his
loss, one brother, John Anderson OF
/ Breckenridge, and four sisters, Mrs.
S. A. Oder of Holden, Mo. Mrs.
/ Joseph Harrison of Keokuk,
Iowa, Mrs Cary Newman of Stillwell,
! Ill, and Mrs. Benjamine Fisher of
Hamilton, Ill.
! A host of other relatives and
friends are left to recall the obliging
neighbor of sunny disposition and the
( kind friends who have gone from
/ their midst In his youth the de-
/ ceased united with the NJ. e. church,
South, and was very active in the
erection of Wesley Chapel southwest
of West Point in ST Adams town.
( ship.
| Before his health forsook him he
strongly advocated Sunday schools
and served many years as superinten-
! dent. The writer recalls having been
present at services held in Temper
ance school many years ago on Sun
day afternoons. No sun was too hot
nor the roads too muddy to deter him
! from coming to hold these services.
! And who can measure the good de-
rived from his willing sacrifice?
| BY persistent effort he brought into
/ the Sunday school many children
from isolated places who were unable
to attend elsewhere.
| Mr. Anderson was i'll over fifteen
weeks, though he suffered untold pain
| he was patient and awaiting the call
| from his master, often expressing his
willingness to go. He fell asleep Sat
urday evening, Aug. "a, at his home
two and one-half miles southwest of
Basco, age SO years and 20 days. His
passing out was a. peaceful as a
child being ulled TO rest in loving
arms.
The funeral service was held at the
NJ. e. church on Tuesday morning at
1920, conducted by Rev. Boyd L..
Rudd of West Point, Ill.

This step would also overcome Ger
man propaganda which is being cir
culated by remnants of King Constan-
tines regime. Enemy agents are say
ing that the reason America has sent
no troops to Greece to fight the Aus
TRANS and other troops occupying
our territory is that they are in SYM
pathy with Bulgaria's territorial
claims.
Those who know the exact situa-
ton do not believe this, but some of
our people are influenced by such
talk and the morale suffers in conse.
|Quence."
Greece has just increased her army
to over half a million men. Half of
these are already trained and
equipped The 100000 just called are
aw aiting arrival of equipment and
arms from European allies.
News today of allied reverses in
the Balkans, where the Austrians are
fighting hard, made timely the appeal
of Greece The armies of the ecu.
trail powers now hold the northern
portion of Greece and threaten to
push farther down.
Sending of American troops tc
Greece, where they might become en-
gagged with Bulgarian forces, raises
the question of declaring war on Bull
garia.
Minister Roussos is undecided on
the ACCESSIBILITY of this.
Whether it would be necessary for
the United States to declare war on
Bulgaria before sending troops tc
Greece, / cannot say" he stated. 81

ALLIED VICTORY

makes close to fifty miles long.
The British method OF hit and
rum" with modifications-that is to
saw. hit and run If the running is
good; il not, to sit tight or drop
back and hit somewhere else-is
bound to keep the Boche guessing.
He often guesses wrong, while the
steady forward movement of the line
as a whole continues.
Reports of today's battle are con-
fusfng enough when reduced to cold
print, where things always seem
much simpler than they actually
are. These reports included the fact
that the Canadians had reached the
ST. Rohart sugar factory, the farthest
point eastward along the Cambria
road since the German invasion.
The German defense is stiffening
In the region of Croisilles. Our
troops got into Vaulx-Vraucourt
flour miles southeast of Croisjlles
and the same distance northeast Of
Bapaume) and grabbed $50 prisoners,
including five officers, before they
were forced to withdraw. Others had
the same experience south OF Ba-
paIrrne, taking seventy-eight prison
ers-in other words, Thilloy's fangs
have been pulled and its machine
guns suppressed. Delvflle road 1.-TWO
miles northwest of Combles) was
captured last night, with number
of prisoners, was lost and then re-
taken. Five enemy divisions were
ide-.tified opposite the wood and ma
chine guns were discovered all over
the place. The Germans rushed up
a fresh division by train yesterday
to the defense of Chreissy 1.-TWO miles
north and east of Croisilles). Two
regiments got into action against the
Canadians and were almost wiped
out. Elements of five German divi-
sions were found in Trones wood
1.-TWO miles west of Combles), while
elements of sixteen battalions were
found on a three-mile front else
where. Bandsmen, laborers and other
miscellaneous troops were found in
the front line.
It is rumored that orders were
found on members of the Eighty
seventh division directing them to
practice rear guard actions ! also
heard a story that Germans were
roncertedly waving handkerchiefs
md surrendering in the vicinity OF
St. Leger "a mile and a half south
west of Croisilles).
The Australians are reported to
have peacefully penetrated a little
nameless wood south of the Somme.

Maricourt -four miles southwest of
Combles) was easy.
Stories of great stores of German
munitions captured at Miraumont
ton the Ancrel being turned against
the German line are now also true
of British munitions which were
captured by the BoChes last spring.
These were recovered at Pozieres
and Moyen hill.
The Germans are still endeavoring
to stiffen the defense about Ba-
paume where their situation is
steadily growing worse.
Summed up, it is apparent that the
Germans are fighting harder. al
though it still seems to me they are
only fighting for time. One of the
amazing exploits reported today prob
ably equals anything the well-worn
Somme fields have yet seen. A youth

BOY BURGLAR
IS APTURED
Kenneth RAIDER, Graduate of Reform
School, confesses to Three
BursIartes and Loot is
Recovered.
HID IT IN CORN FIELD
Is Under Three Fresh Charges OF
Burglary and Out on Parole
Since Last jan
uary.

Within two days Of the daylight bur-
glary of the Morris home at Pleasant
and Prospect streets, Chief Henneman
had the burglar confesstng and most
of the stolen property returned t the
owner.
Kenneth RAIDER is the boy burglar
who has been pulling OF such stunts IN
West Keolsuk this summer. As soon as
he studied details OF the ransacking
of the Morris home, Chief Henneman
decided that the kader boy did the
Job, It took q couple of days to find
him as he had left town TEMPORARILY.
Soon after RAIDER was arrested, the
chief had a confession that he burglar
ised the Morris home, the Hayden
grocery, and some time ago the White
side home in West Keokuk.
Down In a CornfIeld.
He told the chief that the jewelry
part of the loot was buried in corn
field near his home. Officers went
with him to dig it up this forenoon
but when they arrived there he told
Pearson and Wilson that he could
not find his cache. 1t is believed that
he sold the jewelry while out OF town
before Officer Pearson picked him
I'm In Main street this morning.
The property he said he buried, con-
sisted of bracelet, chain and lock-
ct, belonging to Mrs. Whiteside.
The bonds and insurance policies
and deeds TO Texas real estfte were
found at the home of the boy. A ring
and cuff buttons were found on him.
The RAIDER boy was released from
the reform school last January on pa
role to his father who assisted the
police in every way possible in their
Investigation this week.
He now faces three charges OF bur
glary besides violation Of his parole
from the state institution.
