No. 95. or MAY DRAFT I TO BE LEVIED ON NEW BASIS COUNTY ' QUOTAS IN NEBRASKA GIVEN OUT YESTERDAY TO, ALL BE REVISED NO ENLISTMENT ALLOWANCES Yesterday Cass County was Appor tioned 15 Men as Her Share Now Will Take More. Washington, May . 13. The bill changing the basis of draft quotas from state population to the number of men in class one and doing away with allowances for ' voluntary en listments, was signed late today by Vice President Marshal and Speaker Clark and sent to President Wilson for his approval. This measure has been before congress for several months. It will be pat into effect as soon as signed by the president as plans are ready for making the May drft, already ordered, on the new basis prescribed in the law just passed. The above' dispatch foretells a change in the q-aotas ascribed to Ne braska counties by the governor's of fice yesterday, and which called for 1T men as Cass county's share of the week of May 2Sth draft. Credits on volunteer enlistments had placed Omaha and Lincoln beyond reach of the call under the former law, but under the present enactment, the lat ter will furnish some 400 men and the former over 1.000. Just how many men are credited to this coun ty on Voluntary enlistment and bow the percentage of registered men here compares with the state in gen eral is not known well enough to forecast the effect the new law will have in regard to our quota, prev iously set at IS. It will probably be increased, although due to the small per centage of class one men in the county it might possibly be decreased. In this day cf manipula tions of the draft law one never is able to tell just where they're at. Otoe county, which was scheduled to furnish but two, now will probab ly be called upon for nearly fifty on account of the large number of men in class one in that county, there being aproximately 47 per cent of all registered men in class one, while in Cass the percentage is about 17.

Some of these men hae been in the service before and were discharg ed on account of what was then as signed as physical disability. While that was the case under the enlist ment, in the case of the selectmen, it seems other status of examinations apply.

Call Phone No 253-W. R. C.'Cook. 4-22-2wkswkly CANNOT PREACH IN GERMAN. From Wednesday's Daily. There was an interesting meeting at Weeping Water last evening of the county council of defense, which took some positive steps on some things among which were the matter of the churches continuing 'to .hold services in German. The matter of holding services in German, has been creating considerable concern 'n ac count of the tendency when so done that there is suspicion that things are being done which should not be, and to avoid this .suspicion ihose who have been doing it should have discontinued it without any action being necessary. We are now at war with Germany, and one his to f Ither be an American or not an American, and if he is loyal to the ideals of American institutions he canno- bor row -the language of an enemy to convey the thoughts which express the highest ideas of patriotism. If we are at war with Germany cast out all which savers of that country and be a Loyal Patriotic American in ac tion and in thought. Notices are be ing sent to all the ministers who have been delivering their disourses in the German Language that they are forbidden further to do so. By a resolution the county council of defense, disclaimed any action at all whatsoever in the distributing of the corn which was distributed from the cribs of L. C. Stull just recently. They also arranged through a committee to have a meeting some time in the near future with the War Relief Committee, to take up the matter of the cases of those who have neglected to purcnase their quota of bonds.

At the age of 79 years, 1 month and 24 days, surrounded by loving relatives, Mrs. Kate Oliver passed from this life at 5 o'clock in the ev ening of Saturday, May 11, 1918. Thus another of the pioneers has gone to her reward. Kittle Quirk was born March 17, 1839, in Tipperary county, Cork, Ireland, coming to the United States with her parents in 1847, arriving at New Orleans, La., where they re mained but a short time, moving to St. Louis, Mo., where her parents died during the cholera epidemic. leaving to her care two small sis ters, one cf them now Mrs. Anna Miller, of Fort Crook. Nebraska, and the other Mrs. Julia Baker, deceased. When but 17 years of age, she, was united in marriage with Dr. W. A. Rice and to this union one child was born. Mrs. D. P. Aj-lsworth. of Kansas City, Mo. Shortly after their marriage, Dr. and Mrs. Rice left St. Louis, traveling by boat up the Mis souri river to Omaha, in search of new fields. They remained in Om aha but one night, when they jour neyed to the beautiTul city of Belle vue, then the metropolis of this sec tion of the west, and there settled down to life's duties as pioneers to aid in building up this great area. Dr. Rice sickened and died in 1S57, eaving an infant child to her care. July 7, 1861, Mrs. Rice again was united in marriage, to George A. Oliver, in Bellevue, and unto this union six children were born, Carrie E. Oliver, of Plattsmouth, who has remained at home and ministered, to her in her declining' years; Mrs. C. D. Eads. of Omaha;.

First National Bank, Plattsmouth, Nebraska CASS COUNTY TO FURNISH 15 CLASS 1 FOR MOVEMENT TO CAMP DODGE DURING WEEK BEGINNING 25TH OF THIS MONTH OTOE COUNTY'S QUOTA ONLY 2 Sarp Goes That Just One Better Omaha and Lincoln are Both Over Top in Volunteers From Monday's Dailw Unless the new law denying credit on volunteer enlistments be put into effect immediately on the president's signing it, and the war department ordering that the new rule be fol low, the "quotas figured out by Gov. Neville's office during the past few days for the different counties will stand in force and e'ffect for t lie big May draft of 233.000 men. of which the state of Nebraska is called upon to furnish a net quota of 1.C28. The gross quota was 12,4 90. but credit is given for 7,S7S enlistments and 2,984 inductions, the latter heitg for special branches of service. Eleven counties in the stat have credit on volunteers of more men than their quotas call for and are therefore exempt from furnishing any men on this call unless an elev enth hour change be ordered by the War department. Omaha lias over volunteered its number and is ex empted unless the change be order ed, when that city would be called upon to supply over 1,000 men and Lincoln, also being overvolunteered, would "have to furnish 4 00. MEN In the apportionment given out ', , the governor's office. Cass county Is scheduled to furnish 15 men. while Otoe county is drawn upon for but 2 and Sarpy countr goes them still one better, having to furnish but a single man as their quota." When the June drafts are called it is probable the new law prohibit ing credits for volunteers will be put into force and a much different ap portionment will be in evidence.
