One of the most pleasing bits Of
news that has been received in Han
cock since the great world war in
Europe started is that relative to

the first American aviator to accomp-
iish reconnaissance fight over the
enemy lines. Major Royce, who is a

mentioned in the citation for the
successful direction of the air squadron
he commands at the front.

uate of the Hancock public schools
and is we'll known and very popular in
Hancock. His wife and little son are
making their home with Mrs. Royce's
mother, Mrs. A. ]. Scott in this city.
During the Mexican trouble Major
Royce came in for goodly share of
mention, he having been very active
while in the service there having made
several fights into the enemy territory.
Maj. Royce has two brothers in the
service. Lieut.. Donald Royce of the
U. S. Navy and Capt. Ward Royce of
the Engineers. Hancock Joural.
Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Royce and

Baraga, where Mr.. Royce was en-
ployed as accountant for the Thomas

ton Wednesday evening attending the
dedication of the service flag Of the

banner, namely, John Sands, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Sands, and Norman
and Gerald McKindles, sons of Mrs.
Elizabeth McKindles. All three Of
these boys have been in France quite a

Wednesday and there was a rush to
the various streams to secure the first
trout, regardless of the fact that the
weather was threatening the most Of
the day. Several good catches were
reported, but many were disgusted at
the luck. Generally it was the small
boy with the make-shift outfit that
caught the fish in the vicinity of

10000 GRADUATE NURSES RE-
QUIRED IN ARMY HOSPITALS

With continuance of the war,
in the next year at least 10000
nurses will be needed in Army hos
pitfalls at home and abroad. OF the
$4,000 graduate nurses Of the
country only $500 have so far
been assigned to duty in Army SER
vice, and of this number 1900 are
in France.
An Army nurse must be a grad
uate of a training school for
nurses and must have served for
two years in a hospital. They are
assigned to duty in the United
States or abroad, and preferences
are granted when conditions permit.
Nurses who prefer not to have SER
vice abroad win have their prefer
ences respected.

DON'T CRITIClSE
YOUR GOVERNMENT

One of the foremost hardware
companies of this country has is
sued a little booklet that is one Of
the finest pieces of pure patriotism.
This booklet is directed to its tray-
cling men, and contains some sound
advice as to their attitude toward
the government in its conduct of
the war. 1t advises the men, what
ever their politics may be, to re-
frain from any criticism of the adj
ministration, assuring them that
our leaders are doing all that NOR
tai men can do to bring this country
through the crisis that faces us.
1t also reminds them that all the
really big men of the nation have
forgotten, for the time being, that
they are either Republicans or
Democrats, and are standing Shout
der to shoulder with the President
and his fellow labere-rss.
This is loyalty Of the purest
brand. And it is an example that
more could follow with profit. Ev-
cry idle criticism of those in auth
ority is just so much influence
against the cause to which we are
irrevocably pledged. 1t is just so
much adverse force that our lead
ems must overcome to win. And
worst Of all, it all tends to en-
courage the enemy. The most idle
and thoughtless criticism by Ameri-
cans of their government is waited
straight to Berlin, and by the time
il reaches there it is expended 10

MARRIED MEN NOT
TO BE DRAFTED

Provost Marshal General Crowd
err, reporting to Congress on The
progress Of the draft, expressed
for the frst time definite promise
and aim Of the Government not "a
take for army duty any other men
than those listed in Class Of the
new draft QUESTIONABLE.
This classification excludes mar
ried men entirely whose wives or
families are dependent on them for
support and other men with depend
ents. Gen. Crowder does this on
the estimate that 100000 mon
physically At for army duty will be
available from Glass 1. This num-
her he thinks sufficient for the
presest military needs of the nation,
but to assure the future supply for
those needs he recommends that
men who have become 81 years old
since July 5, 1917 1.-THE first draft),
and who become of age hereafter
shall be added to Class l as they
become available. This win insure,
the General estimates, a supply of
100000 men a year.
Gen. Crowder outlines the new
policy in this language:
whether this guess 100000
available men) be justified in prac
tice or not, it can be announced
now as the policy asd belief of this
Office that in all probability it will
be possible to fill our military needs
without invading any class more de-
ferred than Glass l; and that is the
promise, the stanard, and the goal,
here for the first time announced,
toward which every administrative
effort of this Office shall be direct
ed"
Gen. Crowder also recommends
another method of arriving at a
States quota. Instead of using the
population as a basis he would take
the number of men at present list
ed in Class l.
Kentucky had the greatest num-
Der of exemption claims of any
State, it was made public in a re-
port giving statistics of the select
i've draft operations. Fifty-two per
cent. of all men Jailed in Kentucky
filed afidavits. The average num-
Der of claims was 46 per cent.
Montana led among the States in
the number of men called who fled
no claim for exemption. Figures
for that State show that so per
cent. of men called up were ready
to go to the front.
There was evidently some varia-
ton of exempting married men.
A total of 163,115 married men
have been certified for service. In
the boards held 80 per
cent. of all married men called for
service; in Wisconsin and North
Dakota, only eight per cent. were
held. After further study of the
result it is expected efforts will be
made to unity the practice of
boards more closely in this regard.
