THUGS BUT MAN:

ROB lil OF SIS!! George Cox, Painter From Evansville, Found in Street By Patrolman. A band of thugs leat George Cox, years old, a painter from Evans ville, Ind., into insensibility and robbed him of $15. a gold watch and valuable papers shortly after midnight Saturday at Jefferson and Hill tits. Cox was found by Patrolman De Lee cut severely about the head and face. He was taken to the police station. Cox, who was enroute. from i:ansville to Ann Arbor, where he is to work, stopped off in South Bend". He was piloting a stranger down Hill .st. when the men attacked him. He was not sure of their number, but believes at least live were in the gang. Where his companion disappeared Is a mystery. Detectives searched all ni?ht for the guilty ones. URGE EXTRA PRECAUTION IN EXEMPTION WORK (CONTINUED FROM PAdH ONE) man whose time would not otherwise have como, must Incur the risk of losing his life. "There can be no room for hesitation in such a case. "Another fundamental thought is this: Not Court of Adjustment. "You are not a court for the adjustment of difference between two persons In controversy. You are agents of the government, engaged In selecting men for the government and there is no controversy. You, acting for the government, are to Investigate each case in the interests of the nation, and never in the interests of an Individual. There is not one exemption or discharge in the law or regulations that is put there for the benefit of any individual. All are there for the benefit of the nation and to the end that the whole nation may be a team in which each man shall play the part for which he is best fitted. "Therefore,' no one has a vested right, by himself, or by attorney, to urge, by argument or pleading, his Individual case upon you. "You should rigidly exclude this. Ordinarily you should act on the affidavits. If you desire more information you may proceed to get it. If you doubt the affidavits you may Interrogate other persons. If you desire more proof you may get it. But no claimant has a right to submit other proof than that called for by regulations or than that you may call for. Xo Court Procedure. "There should bo no rules like those cf court procedure, no technical rules of evidence. You should proceed to investigate cases about which you are not satisfied exactly aa you, as an individual, would proceed to inform yourself of any fact about which you are in doubt. "Last of all, it is important to pay a word about your own sacrifice. The place to which you have been called is one which no man would seek save in the performance of the highest of patriotic duties. "There is not, in any real sense, any remuneration.' Because thousands of citizens urged that members of local boards should not be placed in a position of performing their grave duties for pay, the regulations provide that, ordinarily, the service shall be uncompensated. Because it was not desired that any man be prevented from rendering the service by the necessity for earning his daily bread, a small renumeration was provided. "The nation needs men. and needs them quickly. The hours will then he long and the work absorbing. The duty is always to take and never to give, and human nature is such there will be little praise and some blame. The sacrifive of many of those whose cases are to be decided is no greater than that of the men who are to decide them: and your only reward must be the knowledge that, at great personal sacrifice, you are rendering your country an Indispensable service In a matter of the utmost moment." ORDERS RECRUITS HERE . RUSHED TO INDIANAPOLIS Sergt. John Skees of the local army recruiting station received a telegram late yesterday afternoon from Capt. Thomas Hyan at Indianapolis headquarters to the effect that all those who have volunteered for military service since the drawing of draft numbers in Washington should be rushed to Indianapolis before Monday. Five more recruits were received at the station yesterday. They were John Eapcznski of South Bend. Frank Bennett. Earl S. Lactone and Nelson Llghtfoot of Ivikeville. Ind. The foTir entered th- aviation section of the s;gnal corps and were immediately forwarded to Fort Thomas from where they will be sent to Fort Sam Houston. Tex. Ben Jsriminiak of South Bend, the fifth man. joined the infantry and left for Fort Thomas yesterday. Playground official announced Saturday ni?ht that the tennis courts on the Studebaker p!aycround arc now in perfect condition. The tennis tournament planned will

News-Times Speid.nl Service : KLKHAKT, July 2S. The official list of draft numbers was received by the local exemption board today and Trest Cyrus E. Frye and Sec'y J. D. Wood immediately started a comparison with the li.-t already! made out. It was stated that the board thought they had made very; few mistakes, but it would take several hours to compare the list. Plans are to call twice the district's quota, which is 1S.", and would be flTO names. This is in accordance with the instructions of the provost marshal of the state. Instructions ttate that th? quota be divided into three divisions, onethird of the names to be called within five days for physical examination, and one-third each to be examined in the two succeeding days. Tive days after they are called, it is possible that a number less than one-third may be called for each day, for there Is another provision for calling 30 at one time. One-third of the quota would be j 122 names, and the members of the board doubt their ability to examine that many in one day, even with the a??l!:tance of additional doctors besides the on who is a member of the board. The examinations require much clerical work and one member of the board must be present when the doctor examines the man, and if the I man is pronounced physic ally unfit, (another examination must be made by another doctor in the presence of another member of the board. j It is the desire of the board to i have the first call prepared by Monjday. Notices will be mailed to thoe who are to appear. The failJure of a man to receive a notice does not exempt him from draft. TO Itt'ILD NEW CYCLE. News-Tims Special Service: ELKHART, July 2S.
