His relation to the draft is as fol
lows: Any student so enlisted, though in
the military service of the United
'States, he wilLbe placed automatically
and therefore must register after he
has reached draft age and upon no
tice by the president. Upon stating
on his questionnaire that he is already
in the military service of the United
States, he will be placed automatically
by his local draft board in class 5-D,
as provided b the selective service
regulations. The draft board will not
call him for induction so long as he
remains a member, of the Students'
Army Training Corps.
Reported to President.
In order that the college student may
not even appear to enjoy special'
privileges, it is agreed, however, that
when the day arrives on which ac
cording to his order number he would
have been drafted, had he not al
ready volunteered, the fact is reported
to the president of the college, and to
the commanding officer at the col
lege, , who reports it to the adju
tant general. This is the day of reck
oning for tha college man.
The president of the college and
the commanding officer will then re
port to the chairman of the commit
teen on education and special training
of the War department, for what
form of military service the individual
is in their judgment best qualified.
They will recommend either that
the student should continue his studies
to prepare for work in medicine, en
gineering, chemistry, psychology,
economics, etc., or that he should go
at once to an officers training camp
to prepare for an officer's commission
in the infantry, artillery, eac, or that
he should be assigned to work in the
ordnance, quartermaster or otner
start corps or sent immediately to a

Parents of Nebraska: The world is in
turmoil. Perhaps your best contribution
will be your boy or girl. You owe it J;o
yoursejf, your children and the world to
give that boy or girl the best possible train

and money, college class rooms must be
full next year or the world will suffer loss
in its leadership. It is said our colleges
furnish eighty per cent of our leaders. The.
college men and women of today will be
the leaders of tomorrow. Will your chil
dren be among the number? Secretary of

To Become Officers.
The presumption is that, for
the
next year, the largest proportion oi
the student body roachiiv 21 car
will be required to supply a large part
of the officers neciU-ii for the natkr.al
army. It Is understood tha: at has:
four or five tiniesas many officers
will be required as the total num
ber of students who will graduate
from all American colleges and "uni
versities. Enlistment in students'
army training corps, therefore, while
it does not hold out any promise of
an officer's commission, is at present
the plainest road leading in that di
rection. .

for special service in his college r.ml
military work, vill be ordered into

however, the student fails to improve
his college opportunities, he may be
dismissed from college by action of
the college authorities, and discharged

tary authorities. lie would then be
subject to the operation of the draft
His enlistment may be cancelled for
other sufficient causes, such as sick
ness, lack of funds, etc., upon recom
mendation of the president of the col

May Be Transferred.
Opportunity wirl be given for the
enlisted student, who so elects, to
transfer from army to navy, and vice
versa, and to be assigned to active
service in one of the various corps
of the army upon recommendation oi
the college president and the proper
military authority.
Regular uniforms, including hats,
shoes and overcoats, will be furnished
all members of the students' army
training corps by the government.
Should congress lower the age of
liability to immediate military ser
vice, men of the new ages . not
already enlisted, may find diffi
culty in entering the service other

Mrs. Carl Strauser, 114 Xorth Fif

morning by her husband, is reported
to have parsed the danger point. Al
though almost prostrated by fright
and grief, the young victim's mIc
thought was of Str.ni.ser's aged

grieved over the incident and looking
at it from a father's standpoint 1 sup

of bitter condemnation, hut I cannot
do it. I am "satisfied that Strauser
was temporarily insane when he "com
mitted the deed. Candidly, I have
nothing1 but sympathy for the poor
mother and brother."
About a month ago Mrs. Mratiser-t
filed suit for divorce on the grounds
of cruelty and nonsupport, and it is
thought that this so preyed on Strau
ser's mind that he was not account
able for his action Sunday morning.
According to the father Strauser was
in the habit of locking Ins young wile
in a room and making her stay there
all dav. At other times' he threatened
to knock all her teeth, down her
throat. I
After the shooting Sunday morning
Strauser went to his home, 405 I.in-j

self in the basement, where he was
located by the police. The house was
surrounded and Strauser called upon j
to surrender. His only answer was a,

It Drops.,
My opponent, F. D. Wead, claims that an attempt is
made to kill the municipal ice plant, and that my cam
paign is financed by interests otfier than myself. Camou-
flage, pure and simple. . I will give, every dollar I possess:
to the Red Cross if F. D. Wead VIH substantiate his as-'
sertions. '
As an exponent of municipal ownership" I stand for
extended municipal service. I Spent time and money as
freely ten years ago to put through the' Water Bonds as
I do now to see tWat their proceeds are not misspent. Last
year I offered Dan Butler, city commissioner, a trackage
site for his municipal coal yard, RENTREE, although
the offer was not accepted on account of his previously
having made arrangements for a more desirable location.
The delay in delivering municipal ice js not caused
by outsiders, but by the Water Board itself who were
authorized by the Legislature nearly two years ago to put
the plant into operation. However, on account of letting
a contract by the Water Board for an ice house too small
to accommodate the machinery it required, the Water
Board was obliged td rescind its contract and commence
all over again this Spring, tin. the basis 'of paying the, con
tractor, not according to his original contract, but accord-
ing to his cost, plus a percentage for superintending the
work. , .
Under this arrangement, will the municipal ice plant
ever be completed, so long as profit can be made by de
laying its construction?
