DRIFTED MEN TO APPEAR MONDAY

Notice to Appear Before Crawford County Exemption Board Will

be Received Tomorrow

CRAWFORD COUNTY'S QUOTA 123

Dr. H. D. Jones of Schleswig Has Been Appointed by Local Board to

Help With Examinations

Crawford county men subject to se­lective conscription will receive to­morrow (Thursday) notice to appear before Dr. W. T. Wright for physical examination. These examinations, however, will not commence until Monday and each man called will be notified Just when he is to appear for his examination. Gov. Harding in­structed the local exemption,board to secure another physician to assist Dr. Wright with the examinations and Dr. H. D. Jones, of Schleswig, has been appointed.

On Saturday morning the local board received from the state officials at Des Moines the official list of numbers in the order in which they were drawn at Washington. They at once commenced listing the 2220 men registered in this county in the order in which they were drawn. It is no easy matter to compile this list as it has to be checked and rechecked sev­eral times to avoid errors. The board finished this work at a late hour last evening and today they are mailing out notices to the first 246 men on the list to appear for examination.

Crawford county's quota as stated last week In the Review is 123 men Had it not been for the fact that the county was given credit for 99 mer. who have already enlisted in the var ious branches of the service this county would have had to furnish 222. It is estimated that 50% of the men called will either be physically unfit or entitled to exemption so twice the number needed are notified to appeal before the board. For this reason 226 men will be notified. All of these men will be examined and those wish ing to claim exemption may do so within three days from the time they receive their notice and will be al lowed seven days after signifying their intention to the board in which to make oat the proper affidavits, which qiust be placed on file with the local exemption board.

It Is thought that Crawford county wiir furnish Its quota of 123 men easi­ly out of the 226 called. However, If the quota can not be raised out of those flrBt called others will be called in the order In Which they were drawn until the quota is raised.

Blanks for claims of exemption are now-in the hands of the local board where they may be obtained by those wishing to claim exemption or dis charge. The local board will pass on all claims for exemption or discharge other than for business reasons. Where they do not allow a claim it may be appealed to the district board.

The Review is printing in this is­sue a list of the first five hundred and fifty men drawn in this county in the order In which they will have to appear. This list has been care fully compiled and has been checked by the local exemption board to avoid any mistakes. If your name is not in­cluded in this list you will not prob ably be called for the first army which Is now being raised. By next week we hope to have a complete list compiled of every man registered in the county so ail will know in just what order they will be subject to draft.

HKRFORW TELLS OF WAR

Interesting Story of Great World War Told by John Hungerford, Jr.,

of Carroll, Iowa

IS SON OF THE CARROLL EDITOR

Greatest Demonstration Ever Witness­ed In Paris Held on July 4—

100,000 People in Crowd

(Continued on Page Five.)

The following story reproduced from the New York Herald of the 20th, a week ago Friday, will be read with interest by Crawford county citizens:

News of what the American troop? are doing in France while in training to take their places at the front in the great war was brought to the United States by John Hungerford. Jr., of Carroll, Iowa, recently. Mr. Hungerford, who is nineteen years old, brought back with him intimate sidelights on the European situation and what the American overseas for­ces under Major General John J. Pershing are doing in their training camps and while at play in the streets of Paris and other cities.

"On July 4, the most notable dem­onstration a man could witness occur red in Paris," Mr. Hungerford said "About four hundred American sol diers had come up to Paris on leave of absence from their training camp There were many Canadians and New Zealanders to join them, and to gether they began a celebration of American Independence Day after their own fashion. They gathered and staged a real American snake dance like that which is held annual ,ly on many a college campus. Traffic was stopped.

"The demonstration which Paris will never forget was started by the Americans. At first they met in a little group in the avenue and began to sing American songs and 'Tipper ary.' This attracted the New Zea landers and the Canadians, and for an hour their snake dance wound up and down the avenue.

Calls for General Pershing "Constantly the crowd around them

increased until finally thousands of men and women and children filled the street. Then, unable to continue their dance, they began to wave smal! American flags and the flags of the Entente Allies and to sing songs. .

"By this time there must have bfcen 100.000 people in the demonstration Major General Pershing was being entertained at a dinner by the Cercle Militaire in its club in the Avenue de I'Opera, near the Paris office of the Herald. The demonstrators went there and began to" call loudly foi General Pershing.

"In response to this he appeared on a balcony of the club and waved his hands at the crowd. They became wild with enthusiasm. A French flag was hanging from the balcony and Gen­eral Pershing reached out to touch it It was too far away and he threw a kiss at it. Then the crowd went wild. There was never such a demonstra­tion in the streets of Paris."

Friends of the British Mr. Hungerford said that the Ameri­

can troops In France are fraternizing intimately with the Britons, the Aus­tralians, the New Zealanders and the Canadians, and that whenever any of these men meet in the streets there always is certain to be formed small or large parties of them. He said the most friendly and Intimate relations exist between them and that when all of these forces get together on the battle line they will give an account of themselves which will go down In history as the most brilliant in the an­nals of warfare.

"The utmost cordiality and friend­ship also exists between the Ameri­cans and the French," iie said. "There is, however, a barrier between them that stands in the way of the most in­timate communication. That is the dif­ference in language. It is difficult ,for the American soldier to make the Frenchman understand him and the French soldier has the same difficul­ty in making himself understood by ,the American. Despite this, the friend­ship between them is deep and it is pften that one in the streets of Paris sees American and French soldiers piarching arm in arm and conversing by sign language.

•• "Frequently I have seen a 'poilu' meet an American soldier in the street and, grabbing him in his arms, em­brace him most warmly. The French look upon these Americans as the de­ciding factor in the war against Prus-sianism and as the certain means of saving France."

Enlarging Old French Camp Mr, Hungerford said that Paris is a

mass of American flags. • "The American camps are models of

sanitation and efficient conduct," he said. "The principal camp was an old French, camp and there wag! little for the Americans to do beyond qnlafg-Ing It, after they took charge. ' Thdy have carried on this enlargement work successfully and at the same time paid the greatest attention to sanita­tion. The health of the troops is ex­cellent."

Mr. Hungerford said that in France and Great Britain the belief is deep rooted and certain that the war will result in a complete victory over Ger­many. He said that fears are express­ed in many high circles that it prob­ably will last another year, but that the final outcome is regarded as cer­tain. He declared that while many Frenchmen have been despondent as a result of the great burden they have shouldered in the war, the entrance of the United States into it and the ad­vent of American troops in France have put new life into that nation and

it is prepared to fight to its last rnaji to make the triumph over Prussian militarism complete.

"Just before I left Paris I met three Americans from Germany," lie said, describing conditions in tiiat country. "They told me that meat and fats cannot be gotten at all. In Berlin the only beef that is obtainable consists of those parts of the anifnal that form­erly were thrown away as unfit for food. New clothing is unobtainable, and the old clothes ate being reduced to a pulp, pressed out by a process of machinery and manufactured into gar­ments for wear. One of these men showed me garments made of this ma terial. I was'informed by every man I saw who had just come out of Ger many that the people there and in Austria-Hungary are reduced to star vation rations.

"I have been informed by compe­tent observers that unless Germany's coming crop is the largest and best in her history there will be no ques­tion about the certainty of thousand? of deaths there from starvation be fore another year has passed."

Mr. Hungerford said that Germar faith in the submarine campaign i." fast waning.. "The fact that England lias not heen brought to hen knees by these underseas boats has brought to Germany a lull realization that the> iiave been deceived by the military ind naval cliques, and they fast are losing confidence In their ability to continue the war." he said.

"A British major who had escaped from a German prison camp through Holland told me a few days before I '.eft Paris that Germany's hatred for Great Britain had cooled perceptibly, and that now all the 'strafing' is di rected against the United States and the American people.

"The average German now thinks that the United States will be re sponsible if Germany loses the war."

In a London Raid In another place the Herald says: How the spirit of hate is born was

told graphically by a young American who reached New York yesterday af ter a landing from a steamship at an Atlantic port.

John Hungerford, a young newspa­per writer from the west, was In Lon don when German aeroplanes descend ed upon that city on July 13. He said:

"I could not realize what it was really hate a people or nation until I saw the German aeroplanes drop­ping bombs on innocent and unpro tected non-combatants., Then I could hate. I saw little children dismem bered, their legs am) arms torn from their bodies.. I saw; the, forms of in­fants and of womenrwf old fhe'n~and voung men who were engaged in the peaceful pursuits of life lying in the streets and In the ruins of their homes. I saw a school in which there were many children wrecked and their bodies scattered in the debris.

"Then 1 knew why the British and the French hate the Huns. I could join in this hatred of a race that will go lown in history as the most accursed descendants of Attila."

SOLDIER BOYS ; (TELL OF CAMPS

Very Interesting Letters Written by Denison Boys Who Are in the

Service of Uncle Sam

BOYS APPRECIATE THE REVIEW

Boys are Well Pleased with the Treat­ment Given Them and Expedt

to Be in France Shortly

The Review has received during the past week three communications from Denison boys who are in the service of the country and which we publish in this issue. We are anxious to receive letters from Crawford coun­ty boys for publication and will ap­preciate such communications.

Below we print the letters received the past week:

HAROLD SILLETTO "Davenport, Iowa.

July 26, 1917. The Denison Review,

Denison, Iowa Dear Editor;

"Now that I am a regular soldier I guess it's safe to let you know what we are doing and try to give you some idea of the organization. A battery consists of 191 men and 5 officers. The latter are captain, senior and ju­nior 1st, and senior and junior 2nd .lieutenants. The men are divided into sections, each containing about 20 pri­vates, 2 corporals and a sergeant or chief of section. There are nine of these sections in a battery at war strength, besides several extra non­commissioned officers who have spec iai work to do such as stable sergeant, quartermaster and 1st sergeant. The ;irst four sections are the gun sections and the rest have only caissons. The men in each section are divided into wo classes, drivers and cannoneers.

The former have charge of the horses and the latter drill with the pieces only. Each gun section is composed >f one field piece and a caisson, the atter carrying the ammunition. The other sections contain only caissons and these are used to carry ammu­nition and any equipment needed. Section Five is what is known as the special or B. C. Detail section. From tills section are usually taken the men who go out ahead of the battery, pick positions for the guns and fig­ure firing data. This Is the most dangerous work in the battery but certainly is interesting. The men in the B. C. Detail have their own horses and don't drill much with the rest of the battery. The nintli section is com posed mostly of mechanics, horse-shoers, etc.

"The past week or so we have been following a regular drill schedule, de­voting a part of each day to each of the several departments. We get up each morning at 5:40, inarch about a quarter of a mile and upon returning have breakfast. Immediately follow­ing the meal, the grounds and build­ings are cleared up for the day. At 8 o'clock everybody falls in for roll call and we are sent out to drill un­til 11:00. This drill consists of about an hour of dismounted drill, which is about the same as what the fellows at home were doing, except, of course, we have no rifles. Cannoneers' and drivers' drill is next, the former work­ing on the guns and the latter driv­ing the horses. About every two or three days we devote most of the morning to a hike. The battery is usually divided into two platoons, each taking a different road and meeting at some specified place. We then have a fifteen or twenty-minute rest and trade routes when we return. The afternoons are spent on theoretical drill, a lesson is assigned each day and recited the next.

"Ben and I are getting along very well so far and like the work fine. We have been promoted to 1st class pri­vates and at present are classified as cannoneers. There will undotibtedly be a great many changes when we get into concentration camp as each man will be given the position he Is best fitted for. but at present the idea is to get into shape more than anything else.

"We have another Crawford coun-tv man in Battery D, a young Blare of Charter Oak, who has been work­ing in Davenport for some time. The bunch as a whole, are all real nice fel­lows, most of them living in Daven­port. There are about ten or a dozen rrom S. V. I. Some of the picture shows and amusement places have been made free for battery men. but we haven't been banqueted like Co. B, as yet.

"No one knows when we will move and probably won't until we are load­ed on the train, but every day there are rumors of some sort. I think we will go to Deming, N. M., but that isn't certain yet.

"We have taken all examinations and were mustered in yesterday.

Verv truly yours', H. A. SILLETTO."

JOE LINGLE Fort Douglas, Utah. Company F, 20th Inf.

Dear Sir: "I read several Items in your pa­

per from boys who had enlisted so I thought I would drop you a few lines concerning life here at Fort Douglas.

"We have about 7 hours' drill here each day and we also take turns work­ing in the kitchen as writers and room orderlies, that is, to sweep out all the rooms and hallways. Some of the fel­lows do not seem to like it so well at first, but then I have decided that army life is just what a man makes it.

"I met one of the Pool boys at Fort

Logan when 1 was there. He was in the artillery so did not leave with us. There are several fellows here from Iowa, but none from Denison nor very Mose by there.

"We had a prairie fire here a short time ago and it came over through the /nountains toward the post and they called out the 2nd infantry to fight fire so it would not reach the bar­racks. There are three regiments here or as it is sometimes called a brigade.

1 will close. JOE LINGLE."

HAROLD NORMAN Newport, R. I.

July 27, 1917. Editor of Denison Review,

Denison, Iowa. Dear Sir:

"I have neglected to write to you of the Newport Training Station. I have read with much interest the let­ters of the other boys enlisted in the irmy, in the Review, and I am very ?lad they are all happy and have conditions existing that are favor-ible to them.

"Upon my arrival at Newport, we were rushed through the customary -outine of outfitting a 'rookie.' All :ieads were clipped close but I man-iged to sneak by and was fortunate ?nough to retain my winter's growth, very happily I did for it was very cold ind I think my head was the warmest part of my body.

"On May 3, I entered the hospital school where I was to be taught the luties of a hospital apprentice. The ttudies involved anatomy and physi­ology, hygiene and sanitation, first Ud and minor surgery, bandaging, pharmacy, materia medica, clinical work, and toxicology. School hours .vere from nine to twelve and one to four and after supper study from seven to eight-thirty. On certain days we had captain inspections and af-'.ernoon was free. Liberty is granted each man on good behavior three times in two weeks and each liberty is looked to with great eagerness for the beach at Newport is a live place and is pvhat most fellows want.

"Barracks are being pushed rapid­ly and will soon be completed for the ^old weather.

"I have finished with the examlna-ions and will soon leave for the hos-lital at the Brooklyn navy yard for wo or three months and then will be

ready for sea duty. I may have a :hance to get a furlough before go­ing to France, where we eventually will be sent.

I must catch car to training station <o I wish you to excuse this short let­ter.

"I gladly thank you for sending the Reviews and hope that they can be .my companion during my stay in the service.

Sincerely yours, HAROLD M. NORMAN."

People are now preparing to rough it in the country by having a lot of stylish clothes made.

It is complained that the circus clowns have just the same old jokes, but anyway they are thoroughly com­prehended by the audiences.

Returning vacationists of course un­derstand that their friends have un­limited time to hear all the details of their trips and do not wish to hear other subjects mentioned.

ENLISTS IN THE AVIATION SERVICE

Leslie Gulick, Son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Gulick, Is Now in Denver Un­

dergoing Examination

HE ENLISTED AS A MECHANIC

Has Been Running a Garage at Car­roll for Past Two Years—Twen- •

tieth Man in the Draft

Rather than be drafted and put in a branch of the service he did not desire Leslie Gulick, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Gulick, has enlisted in the aviation service and left Saturday evening for Denver, Col., to undergo the necessary examination.

Leslie was the twentieth man drawn in the draft at Carroll and knowing he would be called to the service made a flying trip to Omaha to see what chance he had in the aviation depart­ment. He was advised there that he could enlist as a mechanic, but would have to report at Denver Monday morning for examination. Leslie Omaha Saturday for Denver.

For the past two years Leslie has been located at Carroll, where he has the agency for the Cadillac machine. He has been most successful and this year rented a part of the Heider fac­tory for a garage and has several men in his employ. He expects to be able to return for a few days to close up his business affairs before being call­ed into service.

FIRE CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE

Biaze on James O'Meara Place, 8outh of Denison Destroys Barn,

Cribs and Grain Stacks

A fire on the farm of James O'Meara, located five miles south of Denison, on Sunday afternoon caused considerable loss. The blaze seemed to start in the barn and on account of the high wind it spread to some neighboring corn cribs and in addi­tion destroyed several stacks of grain.

The loss will amount to several hundred dollars, although it was part­ly covered by insurance. It is not known how the fire started.

NO. 3—THE ART OF AQ.

If an ad is to be successful, it nitttk give details enough about tin' iwifrr so that the reader becomes Interest­ed in them. This does not necessar­ily mean the use of a lot of flowery, descriptive language. It does mean simply that the ad writer should talk about his goods as he would talk to a customer he was trying to sell them to.

Mr. Logan, previously quoted as a former Selgel-Cooper man, gives this experience as a suggestion of the val­ue of definiteness. He once adver­tised as follows:

GREAT REDUCTION SALE OF WHITE GOODS

Prices Slaughtered Everything Reduced 25 Per Cent '

The results of that ad were not satisfactory. There was a certain in-definiteness about it that killed its effect. Then he produced the fol­lowing:

GREAT REDUCTION SALE OF , WHITE GOODS

Prices Slaughtered . r. Sheets marked $2.00, now |1.60: Towels marked 20?, now 15^

This ad showing what the goods had cost and what they would cost, was so clear and definite that it sold the; goods at once.

Here is a good illustration of at­tractive advertising from the hard­ware line, showing how an article can be clearly described and made to seem like a very desirable home con­venience:

GOOD STONES— Keep your knives and scissors al­ways sharp. Anyone can operate it. May be attached to any table or bench. Speed 1,500 revolutions a minute. Just pull the strap. No water required. Prices: Quartz Stones $1.50 Emery Stones 92.00

SUMMER NEWS

This is the time of year when the Review is filled with items of people's movements. Long columns of per­sonals and vacation goings and com­ings are printed. The supercilious make fun of It as mere tittle tattle. Yet the people who ridicule these items the most grab the paper with eagerness to see what they can learn.

It is a perfectly normal Interest to know about the things your neighbors are doing. It fills a large part of our dally conversation, and if it is im­portant enough to talk about, it is im­portant enough to go into the paper. A knowledge of the goings and com­ings of our neighbors helps us keep in with them, and gives us pleasant subjects for conversation.

So let us not be ashamed to have it in the paper when we go away to summer resorts or have friends visit­ing us. Don't think you look queer if you bring or telephone such Items to the papers. These personal move­ments are part of the story of dally life, and the Review does not do its duty unless It covers that story thor­oughly. So give us the news about y^ur doings. /
