 Leopold, rushing Into action ai had his heroic father, King Albert had taken active command of hiE army at the start of the blitzkriee 18 days ago after appealing to Brlt- ain and France for aid.
 It was recalled by BritonB now that he was not only the son of Al- bert but kiie brother of Grown Prin- cess Marie Jose Of Italy, wife oi Grown Prince Hnmbert. This wAi lone O. the first reactions here.
 Military Gnd political quarters agreed that the position of the British expeditlonary force in Bel gium, which had formed the ce1- ter of the Allied northern line irr,- media.ely south of the Belgians was now most precarious.
 It was forecast that the BET most likely would be forced to at- tempt to escape across the English channel or to fight it's way through the powerful; German wedge to join the main French army. The chan mel escape choice was believed the likely one-.>royided that the Brit ish forces could rearh Dunkirk and Ostend before they were cut off by the Germans.
 Trapped Army Tn Danger
 It had been admitted that the northern army, numbering upwards of 6O0,O00 men and possibly close to 100000 was in situ.'tio of ex- tremem gravity and that it's posi- ton might at any time-even with out Belgian capitulation-become desperate.
 The hard-pressed British expedi- tionary force had sent reinforce ments to the Belgians in an attempt to relieve pressure on them.
 At the least, it was foreseen that the Allies would have to withdraw from Belgium and fight entirely on French soil--if not on English soil.

Moves Ground,

Bird Is Miles

Out of the woods of Maine comes
a tale that would be branded as

were it not for the fact that photo

terror. It's the story Of man who
moved Is square-feet of ground Is
miles TO photographers studio to
get good pictures of woodcock sit
ting on a nest.
Here are the facts.
John Stobie, of Waterville, Maine,
an employee of the State Inland
Fish and Game Commission. was
working near the Lily Bay Hatch
cry in Piscataquis County, in the
north-central part of the state, when
he spied a, goodcock sitting on its
nest. As he approached and ex-
amined the bird. Stobie was sur
prised TO see that it did not flush.
He realized then that the eggs were
probably on the verge of Matching.
This is an opportunity to get a
really good picture thought Sto-
bic.
The nearest photographer was rs
miles away in Greenville. Stobie
called him. The photographer ex-
planned that to get the clear picture
Stobie wanted would require too
much equipment and would be too
expensive,
Undaunted. Stobie grabbed pick
and shovel and went to work. He
dug a 5-foot square around the sit
ting woodcock The female didn't
bat an eye.
With the help of some interested
spectators, Stobie lifted the 5-foot
piece of ground into large box and
put the box on truck Then he
hauled the precious load to Green
vile and into the photographers
studio
1t was photographers field day,
according to reports. The Woodcock
was treated like some Hollywood
star taking camera tests for new
part She submitted to close-ups,
medium shots. side shots, a picture
of the nest. and another of the eggs,
and during this time stayed as close
as she could.
When the pictures were taken,
Stobie re-packed the ground. the
nest. the eggs. and the Woodcock in
to the box. hauled it back to the
field near the hatchery, and re-
placed the sod exactly as he found
it.
According to reports, the wood
cock resumed normal schedule
and later Matched her young.

259 Montana Youths
Join Army in August

MISSOULA, Sept. 3.-The Mon
tana Recruiting District increased
the strength of Uncle Sans army
by ESQ enlistments during the month
of August, the largest number for a
single month in the history of the
state, it was announced today by
the headquarters of the district at
Missoula.
Lieutenant Colonel w. G. Dock
UNI, commander of the state recruit
ing district, expressed pleasure with
the success of the recruiting work
during the month, and said the
month of September already holds
promise of being another record
breaking month for recruiting.
Of the total, all but II were orig
inal enlistments by men with no
previous service in the army. The
colonel expressed the belief that the
August record of original enlist
ments is without doubt the great
est in Montana history, not except
ing the army's intensive recruiting
campaign in 1920.
The Missoula recruiting station
holds the lead, with the stations at
Billings, Butte and Havre next, and
others of the II substations fol-
lowing.
The air corps was most popular
with the new recruits, who are given
choice of both branch of service
and station. Next in popularity
was the .quartermaster corps, fol-
lowed by the coast artillery and
infantry. In addition to enlistments
made for service on the West coast,
men were also sent to stations in
Alaska, Hawaii, the Panama Canal
Zone and the Philippine Islands,
Colonel Dockum said.

ExpIoins How
CONSUMPTION Will
Affect Students

BUTTE, Aug. 3l.-Because college
students are naturally concerned as
to the possible effect of conscrip-
ton on their academic status, Presi-
dent Francis A. Thomson of Mon.
tana School of Mines has prepared
letter on this subject and is send
ing ii TO students who attended the
Butte engineering college last year
in order that they may more fully
understand the situation as it viii
affect them
President Thomson points out ir
his letter to students that no legis-
lation dealing with selective service
has vet been enacted. The Burke.
Wadsworth Bill has just passed the
Senate and is now to be debated
IN the House. However, the general
outlines of the legislation as il viii
probably be enacted appear TO be
about as follows:
Cd Males who have reached the
18th but not their 21st birthdays may
or may not be required to register
but will certainly not be called dur
ing the coming academic year
~ College students will register
! in their college town.
t31 All males who have reached
their 2lst birthday must register
and are subject to call. individuals
will be called by lot, l. G., by chance
drawing. and of the 100000 mer
of draft age. less than 100000, OF
in 30, will be called before April
|, l941.
(4) Persons engaged in ''occupa-
tons essential to national defense.
may be exempted or placed on de-
ferment basis by the local draft
boards.
Further. President Thomson states
In view of the indispensability Of
the mineral industry in furnishing
Muscles for Mars. as Mr.. c. F
Kelley so aptly said at Helena two
weeks ago il appears highly prob
able that students in Montana School
of Mines will be considered as serv-
ing their country better by complet-
ing their studies than by learning
squads right
President Thomson also quotes
from President Roosevelt's letter oil
August l4th TO the Administrator
Of the Federal Security Agency in
Which President Roosevelt stated,
We must have scientists, engineers,
economists and other people with
specialized knowledge, to plan and
to build for national defense as well
as for social and economic progress.
Young people should be advised that
II IS their patriotic duty to continue
the normal course of their educa-
ton, unless and until they are called
SO that they will be we'll prepared
for greatest usefulness to their coun-
/ Try They will be promptly mott
fled if they are needed for other
patriotic services
Realizing that students, as loya
Americans, are concerned as to thei
patriotic duty at this time Presiden
Thomson. although not urging stu
dents to return to college, has en-
deavored to outline the conscriptior
Z situation and to make it clear tina
those who attend the School 0.
Mines this fall will be placing them
/ selves in line of maximum service
to their country.
