LIKELY TO EXEMPT
THIS CLASS STUDENTS

Men studying medicine, engineer
ing or chemistry, and those taking
pre-merical work in the universities
and colleges of the country, will
probably be permitted to finish their
work in these courses before being
called to military service, says Pres
ident Frank B. Trotter, of the. West
Virginia State university, in COM
munication addressed through
school officers and the newspapers
to the men between the ages of 18
and 81 urging these men to avail
themselves of the opportunity to fin
ish their public school work before
tkey receive orders to report for
duty.
President Trotter's communica-
tion impresses the fact that the gov
eminent desires that all young men
subject to draft but not yet past
school age should take advantage Of
every possible day OF schooling I'M
til they are called for service.
A unit of the students army train
ing course has been established at
the state university, says the head
of that institution, and it is request
ed that all who desire to avail them
selves of the benefits Of this course
address the university authorities at
Morgantown.

MEET OCTOBER 18TH

The forty-sixth annual session of
the Synod of the Potomac of the Re
formed church in the United States

to November /. The invitation to
meet in Middletown this year was
extended to the Synod by the Con-
sistory of Christ Church two years
ago. at the Synod of York. This spe-
Cial time for the meeting at Middle

that this, year the congregation cele-
brates the one hundredth anniver-
sary. of the laying of the corner
stone of its present church building.
The time originally fixed for the
meeting of Synod was the week of
October 81. At the request of the
consistory the officers of Synod hove
postponed the meeting one week in
order not to conflict with the Fred
erick county fair.
The Synod of the Potomac was or
eanized in the Evangelical Reform
ed church in Frederick. in April,
1873. Prior to this time the section
OF church which it embraces was a
part OF the mother Synod now known
as the Eastern Synod. The Potomac
Synod comprises the congregations
