BRANCH
ALREADY effective;
Soldiers In Dire Need, Beginning
To Feel Its Efect-First
Meeting Soon

Plans are being made for the first
meeting Of the Service and Informa-
ton branch of the War Department,
perfected in Richmond at meeting
Saturday night. It is the intention
of the officers and members to gei
busy with the massive work ahead
of them as soon as possible. The i'm
portance of this work is realized, ans!
already the attention of number or
afflicted soldiers has been called to
the work Of the committee here.
r E. Turley is preparing for the
beginning Of the work in order thaS
those in need of assistance can be
helped at once. In some instances, the
soldiers are being taken care of indie
pendently, not waiting for the prelim-
mary work of regular examination
upon the part Of the government.
There is one case wherein the soldier.
local man, is now in hospital ir
the east, paying from his own funds
for medical aid. His case has beer
turned over to the government, and
with the completion of the local com
mittee, or working branch, this will
be acted upon Immediately The mar
is said to be suffering from lung
trouble. He is said to have made q
most excellent record in the navy,
being one of the first to reach Rus
sia, where he did service for more
than year. Upon his return home he
has been compelled to spend what
money he had to recover his health,
instead of having his case pushed by
the government.
This man will have special care
within a week, and Furthermore, the
government officers will keep a rec
ord of his case. A relative of tho
unfortunate sailor was in conference
with members Of the local branch to-
day, and aid will be given immediate
ly.
The Daily Register located two mon
living in the rural districts who were
not aware of the formation Of the
branch, and who have been seeking;
in vain for some time for aid. One Of
them is badly afflicted. He stated thai
ne was very grateful to The Daily
Register, for he seldom got to the
city and admitted not being "up" On
news He has been kept informed up
on the formation of the branch, and
his case as now being acted upon.

be in the hands of County Clerk Jen-
nings Maupin, who has been busy
looking after this new phase of work,
since it will dev0lve upon him to
handle all accounts and keep books
OH the businesss transacted 1t is be-
ieved that there will be big reye-
nue. from Madison county at the rate
of one cent per gallon, since there is
said to be q constantly increasing
quantity Of gasoline used by the far
mers who operate the modern ma
chinery. The collections will be made
by the month, it being the duty of the
consumer to bring his reports to the
office Of the county clerk and settle
according to the figures presented.
The reports, under the supervision of
The clerk from the beginning, will be
made to the state, and the funds ac-
cruing therefrom will also be sent to
the state capital.
Madison county is one of the larg-
est in the state and it is recognized
fact that there is a greater amount
Of automatic and modern machinery

lief that the reports from the county

IMMIGRANTS FLOCK
TO UNITED STATES

Only a lack of ships is keeping
back hundreds of thousands of pros
pective European immigrants from
fiocking to this country, government
immigration officials say.
even with postwar passport re-
strictions, there would be the greatest
rush of people to this country ever
known if there We're only ships to
bring them," asserts an Ellis Island
official, and declares that NEARLY six
hundred thousand aliens in many Eu-
ropean countries have applied for
permission to emigrate to America. u
For more than a month immigrants
have been arriving in this country
at the rate of 10000 weekly; two
ships are reported to have brought
total of $500 steerage passengers
in one day from Italy alone. Many au-
thorities believe all pre-war records
will be broken by the exodus from
Europe to the United States unless
Congress puts up the bars.
The present influx is welcomed b!
the farmer, the manufacturer, the
mine owner, the railroads, the indus
try in general and it is expected tha
the arrival of half million. unskillet
laborers in the next year will dt
much to relieve the existing labo
shortage. Fs

NO PLACE TO SLEEP;
STUDENTS GO HOME


A number of women who came
to Richmond to take postgrad-
uate course or special school
training during the summer
school, have returned home, not
being able to procure quarters
within a reasonable distance of
school. Several departed today,
deciding they were unable to at
tend, having to go so far to and
from their work. This is the
first time that any have had to
return home for thisreason, While
the attendance is greater than
ever before, the fact as stated
above, is deplored by many.
New students are coming in al
though it was believed the last
would have arrived by the middle
of the week. Sleeping quarters
are being taken by some, in the
gym, and other places untitled
for other purposes during the
day. The instructors, in many
cases, have long distances to
travel to and from school. All
of those not having extended
teaching experience are accepting
the present circumstances with
out complaint, apparently being
satisfied to get any place what
ever to stay, SO intent are the,
upon getting the special course.
