WILSON ISSUES .CONSCRIPT CALL FOR AUGUST 24

Proclamation Calling Youths Who Are 21 Since June 5, is Made Public. President Wilson'n proclamation calling upon all male persons who have become 21 years old since June 5 to register next Saturday in the selective service system was released Monday for Indiana by Maj. Robert C. I'.altzell, state conscription agent. It thus becomes the duty of all such persons to present themselves at their respective local conscription boards for registration next Saturday. Failure to do so lays the delinquent one open to immediate draft, imprisonment or the loss of valuable citizenship rights. Local boards in ear-h city and county and nearly every Hoosier town and hamlet will be open to register the young men from 7 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock in the evening. The new registrants will be considered as late registrants in the class of June 5. "I, Woodrow Wilson. President of the United States," reads the call, "do call upon all male persons, either citizens of the United States or residing in the several states, or in the District of Columbia, who have, since the 5th day of June, 1918, and on or before the 24th day of August. 1918, attained their twenty-first birthday, to register in accordance with the law and regulations prescribed thereunder: Provided, however. That the following ersons are hereby exempted from t'Kistration: Officers and enlisted men of the regular army, the navy, the marine corps, and the national guard and naval militia -while in the service of the United States, and 'officers in the officers' reserve corps and enlisted men in the enlisted reserve corps while in active service. Register on Aug. 24. "And I do further proclaim and give notice to every person subject to registration in the Beveral states, and in the District of Columbia, in accordance with the above law, that the time and place of registration shall be between 7 a. in. and 9 p. m. on the 24th day of August. 1318. at the office of the local board having jurisdiction of the area wherein he permanently reBides, or at such other place as shall be designated by public notice by such local board. "And I do call upon the governor of each of the several states, the board of commissioners of the District of Columbia, and all members of local boards and agents thereof appointed under the provision of the Act of Congress approved May 18, 1917, to perform certain duties in the execution of the foregoing law which duties have been communicated to them directly in regulations prescribed under the terms of said public resolution. "Any person who, on account of sickness, will be unable to present himself for registration may apply on or before the day of registration at the office of any local board for instructions as to how he may register by agent. "Any person who expects to be absent on the day designated for registration from the jurisdiction of the board in which he permanently resides may register by mail, but his registration card must reach the local hoard having jurisdiction of the area M which he permanently resides by the day herein named for registration. Any such person should apply as soon as practicable at the office of a local board for instructions as to how he may register by mail. "Any person who has no permanent residence must register at the place designated for registration by the local board having jurisdiction of the area wherein he may be on the day herein named for registration. "Any person who, on account of absence at sea, or on account of absence without the territorial limits of the United States, may be unable to comply with the regulations pertaining to absentees, shall, within five days after reaching the first United States port, register with his proper local board or as provided in the regulations for other absentees." French People Are Kind to U. S. Soldiers, Writes . E. Hullinger Mrs. Clara Conlter, 55 Grant street, received a letter from her son, I. S. Ilulllnger, who is in France with the American Kxpeditionary Forces, in which he Faid that if one stands on the C. and O. Kailrcad and looks into jV-ippy Hollow and imagines that the ,tooune8 are brisk ono can get on idea of French villagfs. They are about Fix or eight niilei apart, he says. The fields are very small and the women lake care of them. They cut the hay and haul it in. The country is verypretty in spite of the war. The French are very kind to the Americans, Hullinger says. Prize for Biggest Sale of Flowers for Belgians A prize will be given to the child Belling the most tlowers and another to the one securing the most money at the Belgium baby lower sale, August 24. Preparations are going forward for an extensive sale in the Chautauqua

grounds. A supply station tent will be erected, probably in the Rotary Club tent, vhich stands at an advantageous point. The heads of the various squads of children are requested to get all the members of thir particular squad up at the Commercial dub rooms at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon to receive a supply of tlowers. FILES PETITION FOR DITCH

Folks at Home Hear Most About War, Writes Soldier in France

The following letter was received by Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Metzger, National road east, from their son, Frank M., who is serving with a balloon company in France: "I suppose you have received my card announcing my safe arrival overseas, and you are now waiting for a letter, so as I have a little spare time, which, by the way, is the first I have had since landing, I will write you a few lines. First of all I want to tell you not to worry for I am getting along fine and am well. It will be impossible for me to write as often as I did, but I will try hard to get a letter off once a week. It takes the mail quite a good while to get over there for it all has to tye censored and is sometimes delayed on the way. We have a very nice camp, plenty of good eats, shower taths and other conveniences. There is a stream of clear cold water close by, where we do our washing. We have little showers of rain here almost every evening, but during the daytime the sun is always shining; the climate is warm and pleasant during the day, and cool in the early morning and evening. There are field artillery ranges about our camp; and for a while I did not sleep much, but now I think I could sleep under one of the guns without any trouble. I went down to a small village this morning and bought one orange, three pears and three peaches, which cost me forty cents in our money. I had quite a time trying to make the clerk understand what I wanted, so I just went to the basket and picked them out. I am not very good in making change in French money, but I have a raper with me that tells the differ

ent values and I consult it when in doubt. If I am here very long I want to learn French or enough of it so

camp tnat iooks something like tne First Methodist at home, the churches here have tall steeples, chairs on the inside, tile floors and do not have many windows, which makes them rather dark. You hear more about the war than we do as newspapers are rather scarce here; about once a week a kid comes along with a New York Herald printed in Paris. The trains here are more like toys than anything else I can compare them to. One coach will carry about fifteen passengers. They have very high wheels; the engineer and fireman stand on a platform with nothing over their heads to shelter them from sun or rain. The United States has many regular engines and box cars over here; it looks funny to rea a states train along side of a French special. You could put a French box car inside one of ours and would have to hunt to find it. Write to me often for we are surely g'ad to get letters over here from-home.

ALEXANDER HOME IS OFFERED FOR USE OF WOUNDED MEN

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Alexander, who have lately moved to Indianapolis where they are both connected in government work, here given the home service department of the Wayne, County Red Cross permission to use their home on HoIIarn Road east of the city for the purpose of housing wounded soldiers who may be brought to Richmond and for whom the hospital may be too crowded to give accommodations. Miss Flora Mae Green, head of the Home Service department, stated Monday that they should take advantage cf the offer in time of need.
