that they are not nearly so happy
out of khaki as they imagined they
would be. They frankly admit
that they miss the companionship
of the army, the lack of response
bility and the easy hours. Now
that the war is over the army is
resting on it's laurels and in the
great camps around England work
is confined to one hours parade
a day, with football games, paper
chases and other sports to fill In
the remainder of the time. That
is a considerable contrast to eight
or nine hours OF monotonous toll
In a shop or factory.
The army authorities have not
so far made public any figures on
recruiting, but some indication is
offered by the experience of two
battalions in one Of the largest
camps in the south of England. In
one hut, where all the men had
seen service overseas, more than
200 re-enlisted in less than two
weeks. In the other. ar "A4" bat
talon made up of boys under mill
tary age, more than 800 took the
oath in the same period, a large
number for the regulation period
IL years.

RED CROWN GAS IN
ESSEX ECONOMY TEST
AVERAGE 23 MILES TO GALLON
IN SAN FRANCISCO-SAN
JOSE RUN

In a recent gasoline economy
test by the Essex stock car, Red
Crown gasoline again proved it's
superiority as long-mileage, full
power fuel. In a test run from
San Francisco to San Jose the
car averaged exactly % miles to
the gallon.
Four passengers were carried
and the automobile editors of the
San Francisco Call and San Fran
cisco Bulletin, acting as official
observers, attested that the cars
speedometer showed an even It's
miles of travel. Starting from
the Standard Oil company's service
station at Van Ness avenue and
Pine streets, San Francisco, the
cars tank was filled to the cap
with Red Crown. The following
route was traversed: Down Van
Ness to Post, to Preside avenue,
to Geary street, Cliff house, down
the Ocean boulevard to Sloat 5oule-
varG, to Junipero boulevard. to
Gonna and thence over the highway
to San Jose. A normal rate of
speed was maintained on the entire
trip, the speedometer rarely show
ing less than 20 miles an hour or
going above SO.
The return drive was over the
same course as that followed on
the outbound trip and was made
in about two and one-half hours.
On the return of the car to the
Standard Oil company's Van Ness
avenue service station the tank
was again filled to the cap with
Red Crown. Just an even five
gallons were required, showing an
average of 23 miles to the gallon.
This test shows again that Red
Crown, straight-distilled, all-refin-
cry gasoline, will give maximum
miles and uniform power.

VITAL STATISTICS
OF DRAFT BOARDS
PROVE OF VALUE
AMERICANS DETERIOATE RAP
IDLY AFTER REACHING
MAJORITY

WASHINGTON D. c., Mar. 10
Vital statistics made available to
the government as a result of the
selective draft processes, especially
from the scientific physical exam
nation of 3,208,446 men, will be
the means of saving 100 times as
many lives as we're lost in the
war, in the opinion of Major Gen.
eral Enoch Crowder, provost mar
shall general.
While no attempt has been made
yet to study the information deriv-
ed from the physical examination
of re%gistrants, a local board for
Division No. 1873, in New York City,
has made an suspicious start
through the careful indexing of
the results obtained in 600 cases,
with the view of turning these
over to medical authorities for an
alysis. Already the figures seem
to indicate clearly that foreign
born registrants were Of lower
physical standard than native
born.
OF every 100 men called for SER
vice under the draft, examining Of
ficials found 2.76 per cent were
suffering from defects which could
be remedied entirely if the appli-
cants submitted to a short and
simple course The original plan
of the draft authorities. to induct
these men and have their defects
corrected at army hospitals, was
dropped because Of the lack Of IA
cilities, but government officials
have not abandoned entirely the
idea of federal assistance in this
reconstruction work under some flu
ture social betterment program.
Registrars who possessed ply
steal defects of such degree as to
prevent them from rendering mill
tary service Of any kind totaled
521,6 SOC and constituted 1926 per
cent of the total examined. These
included organic diseases OF inter-
nal organs, marked visual or aural
defects, mental diseases and defi-
ciencies, muscular paralysis, dis
figuring and disabling deformities
and, lastly, physical un~der-devel-
opment.
Study Of this class, it is believ-
ed, would show basic causes cap
able of being eliminated from flu
ture generations through social n.y.
giene campaigns, competent medi-
cal supervision and advice and
physical exercise, scientifically pre-
scribed.

FORMER FRIEND HOLDS
EX-KAISER RESPONSIBLE

LONDON, Mar. 10. - There is
no doubt that the former German
emperor was the first and respon-

it himself in all ~ruthlessness and
barbarity." This statement is at
