NEBRASKA HAS A TOTAL OF
27,277 3IE.V IN THE SERVICE.
A total of 27,277 Nebraska men and
boys have enlisted or been inducted in
to the national army since June 5, 1917
according to the official figures given
out at the office of Governor Neville.
Of this number 26.36G men have enlist
ed or been Inducted by the local draft
boards and 911 represent voluntary
inductions. The tabulations at the
governor's office show that there are
118,108 men registered in Nebraska,
divided as follows: White, 110.59G; ne
groec, 1,421; aliens, 5,216, and enemy
aliens, 934.
When the order "was issued to register-nil
men In 'the United States on
June G, 1917, between the ages,of.twen-v
ty-one and thirty-one years for mili
tary service, local boards were estab
lished in each town in the state. In
the first call Nebraska was asked to
furnish 13,870 men. Credit was given
for 5,691 voluntary enlistments, leav
ing a net quota of 8,185 men who were
furnished thru the local boards.
Hamilton county was not required to
send any men on the first call her
quota having been exceeded by the
number of voluntary enlistments.
On the second oall for men the
state's quota was set at 12,490. Credit
for voluntary enlistments or induc
tions amounted to 10,682, making a net
quota of 1,628 to be furnished. In this
call twenty-three boards were not re
quired to send any men, having a large
enough number of . voluntary enlist
ments and Inductions.
Under the questionnaire system 23.3
per cent of the registrants of the state
have been placed in classl. Frontier
county ranks lowest with 11 per cent
and Dawes highest with 45 per cent.
Counties having less men in class 1
than the average of the state must
bring the average up by reclassifica
tion or an inspector will be appointed
to review the work of the board.

SOLlHEIt'S CANTEEN SYSTEM.
Authority has been given to estab

Platte and at a meeting of the Red
Cross Chapter Tuesday evening Mrs.
Chas. Bogue was appointed chairman
of this work. For this canteen service
tho chapter appropriated $500 which is
only the nucleus of tho fund that will
be needed. .
This canteen service is to furnish
Bandwitchcs, coffee and other eatables
free to troops passing through North
Platte, and permission has been asked
the company to use one of tho vacated
frame buildings at tho depot for the,
canteen. In this building will bo a
kitchen equipped so as to supply the
Boldler boys with the lunches propos
ed. While It Is true that the government
furnishes tho boys with what Is con
sidered traveling' expenses, the allot
ment is not sufficient In ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred. For instance
the North Platte boys who were sent
from Omaha to tho Mare Island navy
yard near San Francisco were allow

meet the requirements of tho averago:

another phase to the canteen service,

destroy to a large extent the enthusi

Two more vessels, a Norwegian
steamship and one schooner, were
added to tho list of ships known to
have been sunk by the German sub
marines which aro raiding In Amer
ican waters. Tho total now stands at
five steamers and eight schooners.
Tho fact which stands out most pro
minently in tho developments is that
tho U-boats are still operating near tho
coast and have not returned to their
bases, assuring that tho two which al
ready have been identified are the only
ones on this sldo of tbe Atlantic. This
was demonstrated when the Nor
wegian steamer Eidsvold was Bunk off
tho VIrgina capes. The location of tho
attackB shows also that the sub
marines aro moving steadily south
ward, if they aro tho same ones which
attacked shipping almost at the gate
way to New York harbor, Tho nnvy
department reports an encounter be
tween a destroyer and a submarine off
tho coast of Maryland.
None of tho vessels reported sunk
thus fnr was sent to tho bottom by a
torpedo. It is considered certain that
tho 'undersea craft carry torpedoes and
that thoy aro conserving them in tho
hope that they may get am opportunity
sooner or later to attack a transport
loaded with American troops.

The Truth About
Cut Price Dentistry.
(T. is & delusion that leaves diss&tif&ction and
dissppointment in its wake.
IT encourages the thought that one can get
something for nothing.
IT is & disturber of honest prices and a foe to
square dealing.
IT! means no merit in quality, no virtue in the
service for the years to come.
IT s the most expensive misconception that a
person can possibly entertain in Dentistry.
Remember that it is the conscientious Dentist
who charges a living price that can afford to give
REAL QUALITY DENTAL WORK and back it with
the kind of services it deserves.
